I applied via LinkedIn and was interviewed in Mar 2024. There were 2 interview rounds.

Round 1 - Panel interview 

(4 Questions)

  • Q1. What is the difference between struct and class?
  • Ans. 

    Struct is a value type while class is a reference type in C#.

    • Structs are value types and stored on stack, while classes are reference types and stored on heap.

    • Structs do not support inheritance, while classes do.

    • Structs are passed by value, while classes are passed by reference.

    • Example: struct Point { int x, y; } vs class Point { int x, y; }

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Define reactive programming
  • Ans. 

    Reactive programming is a programming paradigm focused on asynchronous data streams and the propagation of changes.

    • Uses observable data streams

    • Emphasizes reacting to changes rather than explicitly programming steps

    • Commonly used in front-end development with frameworks like RxJS

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Describe clean architecture
  • Ans. 

    Clean architecture is a software design approach that separates concerns and enforces a clear structure for code organization.

    • Separates concerns into layers (e.g. presentation, domain, data)

    • Depends on abstractions rather than concrete implementations

    • Decouples business logic from external dependencies

    • Promotes testability and maintainability

    • Example: Using interfaces to define boundaries between layers

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Discuss previous experience
  • Ans. 

    I have 5 years of experience in software development, working on various projects in different industries.

    • Developed web applications using Java, Spring Boot, and Angular

    • Worked on mobile app development using React Native

    • Collaborated with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software solutions

    • Participated in code reviews and testing to ensure code quality

    • Experience with Agile methodologies such as Scrum

  • Q1. What is closure
  • Ans. 

    A closure is a function that has access to its own scope, the scope in which it was defined, and the global scope.

    • A closure is created when a function is defined inside another function.

    • The inner function has access to the variables and parameters of the outer function, even after the outer function has finished executing.

    • Closures are useful for creating private variables and functions in JavaScript.

  • Q2. What is Encapsulation
  • Ans. 

    Encapsulation is the process of hiding internal details and providing a public interface for accessing and manipulating data.

    • Encapsulation bundles data and methods together into a single unit.

    • It helps in achieving data abstraction and data hiding.

    • By encapsulating data, we can control access to it and prevent unauthorized modifications.

    • Encapsulation promotes code reusability and maintainability.

  • Q3. What is Inheritance
  • Ans. 

    Inheritance is a concept in object-oriented programming where a class inherits properties and behaviors from another class.

    • Inheritance allows for code reuse and promotes the concept of hierarchy.

    • The class that is being inherited from is called the superclass or base class.

    • The class that inherits from the superclass is called the subclass or derived class.

    • The subclass can access the public and protected members of the s...

  • Q4. What is Abstraction
  • Ans. 

    Abstraction is the process of simplifying complex systems by focusing on essential details.

    • Abstraction involves hiding unnecessary details and exposing only relevant information.

    • It allows developers to create models or representations that capture the essential aspects of a system.

    • Abstraction helps in managing complexity, improving code reusability, and enhancing maintainability.

    • For example, in object-oriented programm...

  • Q5. What is Polymorphism
  • Ans. 

    Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms. It allows objects of different classes to be treated as the same type.

    • Polymorphism is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming.

    • It enables code reusability and flexibility.

    • Polymorphism can be achieved through method overriding and method overloading.

    • Example: A parent class Animal can have multiple child classes like Dog, Cat, and Bird. They can ...

  • Q2. What are the used of outliers
  • Ans. 

    Outliers are data points that are significantly different from other data points in a dataset.

    • Outliers can affect the statistical analysis of a dataset by skewing results.

    • Outliers can be caused by errors in data collection or measurement.

    • Outliers can be identified using statistical methods such as the Z-score or IQR.
