Class is a blueprint for creating objects, while objects are instances of classes. Hierarchical inheritance is when a class inherits properties and behaviors from another class.

• Class is a template for creating objects with similar properties and behaviors

• Objects are instances of classes that have specific values for their properties

• Hierarchical inheritance is when a class inherits properties and behaviors from a parent class, which in turn may have its own parent class

A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same backward as forward. Implementing it involves comparing the first and last characters and iterating towards the middle.

• Implement a function that takes a string as input and returns true if it is a palindrome, false otherwise.

• Use two pointers, one starting from the beginning and the other from the end, and compare the characters at each position.

• If the characters match, move the pointers towards the middle and continue compa...read more

The question is asking to pick an orange from a basket.

• Carefully select a ripe orange without any bruises or blemishes

• Gently twist the orange off the stem to avoid damaging the fruit

• Check for firmness and weight to determine ripeness

Deep copy creates a new copy of an object with all nested objects also copied, while shallow copy creates a new object with references to the original nested objects.

• Deep copy duplicates all levels of nested objects, ensuring changes in the original object do not affect the copied object.

• Shallow copy only duplicates the top-level object, with nested objects being referenced, so changes in nested objects affect both the original and copied objects.

Laravel request life cycle involves several stages from receiving the request to sending the response.

• The request is received by the web server and passed to the PHP engine.

• The kernel receives the request and sends it to the router.

• The router matches the request to the appropriate route and sends it to the controller.

• The controller processes the request and returns a response.

• The response is sent back through the middleware and finally to the client.

Implementing 2 stacks with optional approach

• Two stacks can be implemented in a single array by dividing it into two halves

• Optional approach can be implemented by using a third parameter to indicate which stack to use

• Push and pop operations can be performed on both stacks independently

Invoice sequence numbers can be generated using a combination of prefix, date, and a unique number.

• Prefix can be a combination of letters or numbers to identify the type of invoice

• Date can be added to the prefix to make it more specific

• A unique number can be generated using a counter or random number generator

• The combination of prefix, date, and unique number can be formatted to create the final invoice number

Reverse a linked list by changing the pointers direction

• Start with three pointers: current, previous, and next

• Iterate through the linked list, updating the pointers to reverse the direction

• Update the head pointer to point to the new first node

To find the middle of a linked list, use the slow and fast pointer technique.

• Initialize two pointers, slow and fast, both pointing to the head of the linked list.

• Move slow pointer by one step and fast pointer by two steps until fast reaches the end of the list.

• The position of the slow pointer will be the middle of the linked list.

Print all subarrays whose sum equals to k given an integer array

• Use a nested loop to iterate through all possible subarrays

• Calculate the sum of each subarray and compare it with k

• Print the subarray if the sum equals to k

A 3 tier app has a presentation layer, application layer, and database layer.

• Presentation layer handles user interface and input/output

• Application layer processes logic and business rules

• Database layer stores and retrieves data

• Each layer communicates with the layer above and below it

• Example: Web app with front-end (presentation), server-side code (application), and database (data)

Abstract classes are classes that cannot be instantiated and can have both abstract and non-abstract methods. Interfaces are a collection of abstract methods.

• Abstract classes can have constructors, interfaces cannot

• A class can implement multiple interfaces, but can only inherit from one abstract class

• Interfaces can be used to achieve multiple inheritance in Java

• Abstract classes can have instance variables, interfaces cannot

• Interfaces can have default methods with implementati...read more
