  • Q2. What is encaplsulation
  • Ans. 

    Encapsulation is the process of hiding implementation details and exposing only necessary information.

    • Encapsulation is achieved through access modifiers like public, private, and protected.

    • It helps in achieving data abstraction and information hiding.

    • Encapsulation provides better control over the data and prevents unauthorized access.

    • Example: A class with private variables and public methods to access them.

  • Q3. What are the different types of waits in Selenium
  • Ans. 

    There are three types of waits in Selenium: Implicit Wait, Explicit Wait, and Fluent Wait.

    • Implicit Wait: Waits for a certain amount of time before throwing an exception if the element is not found.

    • Explicit Wait: Waits for a certain condition to occur before proceeding further in the code.

    • Fluent Wait: Waits for a certain condition to occur with a defined frequency before proceeding further in the code.

Round 1 - Technical 

(4 Questions)

  • Q1. Find longest palindromic substring in a given string.
  • Ans. 

    Use dynamic programming to find the longest palindromic substring in a given string.

    • Iterate through the string and expand around each character to find palindromes.

    • Store the length of the longest palindrome found so far.

    • Return the substring based on the start and end indices of the longest palindrome.

  • Q2. How to serialize and deserialise a tree
  • Ans. 

    To serialize and deserialize a tree, use a recursive approach to traverse the tree and store the data in a suitable format.

    • Use pre-order traversal to serialize the tree by storing the node values in a list or string.

    • For deserialization, reconstruct the tree by recursively building nodes from the serialized data.

    • Consider using JSON or XML format for serialization to easily store and retrieve tree structure.

  • Q3. Find if a given regex (containing ., * and lower case english chars) matches a given string.
  • Ans. 

    Use regex library to match given regex with string.

    • Use a regex library like re in Python to match the given regex with the string.

    • Check if the regex matches the string using the library functions.

    • Handle cases where the regex contains special characters like . and * appropriately.

  • Q4. Explain about throttling and implement throttle function.
  • Ans. 

    Throttling is a technique used to control the rate of requests sent to a server.

    • Throttling helps prevent server overload by limiting the number of requests processed at a time.

    • Implementing a throttle function involves setting a maximum request rate and delaying excess requests.

    • Example: Implementing a throttle function in a web application to limit the number of API calls made to a third-party service.

    • Example: Throttlin...

Round 2 - Technical 

(4 Questions)

  • Q1. Find squares of elements in a sorted array and return the sorted response.
  • Ans. 

    Sort the squares of elements in a sorted array and return the sorted response.

    • Iterate through the array and square each element.

    • Store the squared values in a new array.

    • Sort the new array and return it.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Write a short promise example and implement your own promise
  • Ans. 

    A promise is a commitment to do something in the future, typically used for asynchronous operations in JavaScript.

    • Promises are used to handle asynchronous operations in JavaScript.

    • They represent a value that may be available now, in the future, or never.

    • Promises have three states: pending, fulfilled, or rejected.

    • Example: new Promise((resolve, reject) => { setTimeout(() => resolve('Done!'), 1000); });

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Explain event loop, what are different types of queues in event loop
  • Ans. 

    Event loop is a mechanism that allows for asynchronous execution of code by managing the order of events in a single thread.

    • Event loop continuously checks the call stack for any functions that need to be executed, and processes them in a non-blocking manner.

    • Different types of queues in event loop include microtask queue (Promise callbacks), macrotask queue (setTimeout, setInterval callbacks), and animation frame queue

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. What is virtual DOM and why its faster
  • Ans. 

    Virtual DOM is a lightweight copy of the actual DOM, used to improve performance by minimizing direct manipulation of the real DOM.

    • Virtual DOM is a concept used in frameworks like React to optimize rendering performance.

    • Changes are first made to the virtual DOM, which is then compared to the real DOM to identify the minimal updates needed.

    • This approach reduces the number of actual DOM manipulations, resulting in faster...
