Q1. What are Oops concepts ?
Ans. 
Oops concepts are the principles of Object Oriented Programming, including Inheritance, Encapsulation, Polymorphism, and Abstraction.
• Inheritance: Allows a class to inherit properties and behavior from another class.

• Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit.

• Polymorphism: Ability to present the same interface for different data types.

• Abstraction: Hiding the complex implementatio...read more

Q2. What is join and types of join?
Ans. 
Join is used to combine rows from two or more tables based on a related column between them.
• Types of joins include inner join, outer join (left, right, full), cross join, self join.

• Inner join returns rows when there is at least one match in both tables.

• Outer join returns all rows from one table and matching rows from the other table.

• Cross join returns the Cartesian product of the two tables.

• Self join is used to join a

Q1. Write a code of binary search
Ans. 
Binary search is an efficient algorithm for finding an item from a sorted list of items.
• Requires a sorted array to function correctly.

• Divides the search interval in half with each iteration.

• Time complexity is O(log n), making it faster than linear search.

• Example: Searching for '5' in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] results in index 4.

Q2. What is pagging in Operating system
Ans. 
Paging is a memory management scheme that eliminates the need for contiguous allocation of physical memory.
• Divides memory into fixed-size blocks called pages.

• Pages are mapped to physical memory frames, allowing non-contiguous allocation.

• Improves memory utilization and reduces fragmentation.

• Example: A process with 4 pages can be loaded into any 4 available frames in memory.

• Paging allows for virtual memory, enabling proc...read more

Ans. 
The task is to find the longest distances from a source node to all nodes in a weighted directed acyclic graph.
• Implement a function that takes the number of nodes, edges, source node, and edge weights as input.

• Use a topological sorting algorithm to traverse the graph and calculate the longest distances.

• Return an array of integers where each element represents the longest distance from the source node to the correspondi

Ans. 
Find the smallest number whose factorial has at least N trailing zeros.
• Calculate the number of 5's in the prime factorization of the factorial to determine the trailing zeros.

• Use binary search to find the smallest number with at least N trailing zeros.

• Consider edge cases like N = 0 or N = 1 for factorial trailing zeros problem.

Ans. 
To reverse a singly linked list of integers, return the head of the reversed linked list.
• Iterate through the linked list, reversing the pointers to point to the previous node instead of the next node.

• Keep track of the previous, current, and next nodes while traversing the list.

• Update the head of the reversed linked list to be the last element of the original list.
