Q1. How does C++ support polymorphism?
Ans. 
C++ supports polymorphism through virtual functions and inheritance.
• C++ supports polymorphism through virtual functions and inheritance

• Virtual functions allow a function to be overridden in a derived class

• Base class pointers can point to derived class objects and call overridden functions

• Example: class Animal { virtual void speak() { cout << 'Animal speaks'; } }; class Dog : public Animal { void speak() { cout &l...read more

Q2. What data structure is used by a Map?
Ans. 
Map uses a data structure called Hash Table for storing key-value pairs.
• Hash Table is a data structure that allows for fast retrieval of values based on keys.

• It uses a hash function to map keys to their corresponding values in an array.

• Common implementations include HashMap in Java and dict in Python.

Explanation:
The Merge Sort Algorithm...read more
Ans. 
Implement the merge sort algorithm to sort a given sequence of numbers in non-descending order.
• Divide the input array into two halves recursively until each subarray has only one element.

• Merge the sorted subarrays back together in non-descending order.

• Time complexity of merge sort is O(n log n) and space complexity is O(n).

Ans. 
The task is to determine if it is possible to transform a string to match another string using wildcard characters '?' and '*'.
• Iterate through both strings simultaneously, handling wildcard characters '?' and '*' accordingly.

• Use dynamic programming to keep track of matching subproblems.

• Return true if at the end both strings match, false otherwise.

Q2. Can you explain what a zombie process is?
Ans. 
A zombie process is a process that has completed execution but still has an entry in the process table.
• Zombie processes occur when a child process finishes execution before the parent process can collect its exit status.

Q3. What is thrashing in an operating system?
Ans. 
Thrashing in an operating system occurs when the system is spending more time swapping data between memory and disk than actually executing tasks.
• Occurs when the system is overwhelmed with too many processes demanding memory

• Results in excessive swapping of data between RAM and disk

• Leads to a decrease in system performance as CPU spends more time on swapping than executing tasks

• Can be alleviated by optimizing memory usa...read more

Q3. What are the differences between classful and classless addressing in computer networks?
Ans. 
Classful addressing uses fixed length subnet masks, while classless addressing allows for variable length subnet masks.
• Classful addressing divides IP addresses into classes (A, B, C, D, E) with fixed subnet masks.

• Classless addressing allows for more efficient use of IP addresses by using variable length subnet masks.

• Classful addressing can lead to wastage of IP addresses, while classless addressing is more flexible and...read more

Q4. What is the difference between TCP and UDP?
Ans. 
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol that provides reliable data delivery, while UDP is a connectionless protocol that offers faster but less reliable data transmission.
• TCP is reliable as it ensures all data packets are received in order and retransmits any lost packets.

• UDP is faster as it does not establish a connection before sending data and does not guarantee delivery of packets.

• TCP is used for applications that r...read more
