Q1. Find longest palindromic substring in a given string.
Ans. 
Use dynamic programming to find the longest palindromic substring in a given string.

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.

Q4. Explain about throttling and implement throttle function.
Ans. 
Throttling is a technique used to control the rate of requests sent to a server.

• 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...read more

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); });

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

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...read more

Q1. Why do we use SOLID principle, SRP and OCP violation?
Ans. 
SOLID principles help in creating maintainable, scalable, and flexible software.
• SOLID principles help in creating software that is easier to maintain and extend.

• Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) ensures that a class has only one reason to change, leading to more modular and cohesive code.

• Open/Closed Principle (OCP) states that a class should be open for extension but closed for modification, allowing for easy chang...read more

Q2. What is singleton design pattern and how to implement it?
Ans. 
Singleton design pattern ensures a class has only one instance and provides a global point of access to it.
• Create a private static instance of the class within the class itself.

• Provide a public static method to access the instance.

• Ensure the constructor of the class is private to prevent instantiation from outside the class.

• Example: Singleton pattern is commonly used in database connections to ensure only one connectio
