Q3. Runtime polymorphism and how it works vptr and vtable
Ans. 
Runtime polymorphism in C++ is achieved through virtual functions, vptr (virtual pointer), and vtable (virtual table).
• Runtime polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.

• Virtual functions are declared in a base class and overridden in derived classes to achieve polymorphism.

• vptr is a pointer that points to the vtable of an object, allowing dynamic binding of virtual ...read more

Q2. What is dynamic_cast where it can fail and what will happen in that case
Ans. 
dynamic_cast is a C++ operator used for safe downcasting of pointers and references in polymorphic classes.
• dynamic_cast is used to safely downcast a pointer or reference from a base class to a derived class.

• It can fail if the object being casted is not of the target type, in which case it returns a null pointer for pointers or throws a std::bad_cast exception for references.

• Dynamic_cast can only be used with pointers o...read more

Q2. What is union in c++
Ans. 
Union in C++ is a data structure that allows storing different data types in the same memory location.
• Unions are similar to structures but all members share the same memory location.

• Only one member of a union can be accessed at a time.

• Unions are useful when you need to store different data types in the same memory space.

• Example: union MyUnion { int i; float f; };

• Example: MyUnion u; u.i = 10; // Accessing integer member

Q3. What is weak pointer
Ans. 
Weak pointer is a type of smart pointer in C++ that does not control the lifetime of the object it points to.
• Weak pointers are used to break circular references in shared pointers.

• They do not increase the reference count of the object.

• They are used in scenarios where the object may be deleted while there are still weak pointers pointing to it.

Ans. 
Processes and threads are units of execution in a computer system. Memory is allocated to processes. Mutex and semaphore are synchronization mechanisms. Core refers to a processing unit in a multi-core system. Context switching is the process of switching between different processes or threads.
• Processes are independent units of execution with their own memory space and resources.

• Threads are lightweight units of executi...read more
