Q2. Can you provide the code to reverse a linked list?
Ans. 
Reversing a linked list involves changing the direction of pointers to go from the end to the beginning.
• Start by initializing three pointers: current, previous, and next.

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

• Update the head of the linked list to point to the new first node, which was the original last node.

Q2. What are smart pointers in C++?
Ans. 
Smart pointers in C++ are objects that act like pointers but provide automatic memory management.
• Smart pointers help prevent memory leaks by automatically managing memory allocation and deallocation.

• Examples include unique_ptr, shared_ptr, and weak_ptr.

• unique_ptr is used for exclusive ownership, shared_ptr for shared ownership, and weak_ptr to prevent circular references.

Q3. What is mutual exclusion in the context of concurrent programming?
Ans. 
Mutual exclusion is a concept in concurrent programming where only one thread can access a shared resource at a time.
• Ensures that only one thread can access a critical section of code at a time

• Prevents race conditions and data corruption

• Commonly implemented using locks, semaphores, or mutexes

• Example: Using a mutex to protect a shared variable in a multi-threaded application

Q4. What is the process for implementing multithreading?
Ans. 
Implementing multithreading involves creating and managing multiple threads to execute tasks concurrently.
• Identify the tasks that can be executed concurrently

• Create and manage multiple threads to execute these tasks simultaneously

• Use synchronization techniques like locks and semaphores to prevent race conditions

• Handle communication and coordination between threads

• Consider thread safety and resource sharing issues

Q1. Explain about stacks
Ans. 
Stacks are a data structure that follows the Last In First Out (LIFO) principle.
• Elements are added and removed from the top of the stack

• Common operations include push (add element) and pop (remove element)

• Stacks can be implemented using arrays or linked lists

• Examples of stack usage include function call stack and undo/redo functionality in text editors

Q2. To find middle number in the linked list
Ans. 
To find the middle number in a linked list.
• Traverse the linked list using two pointers, one moving twice as fast as the other.

• When the fast pointer reaches the end, the slow pointer will be at the middle node.

• If the linked list has even number of nodes, there will be two middle nodes. Return either one.

Q1. Explain OOPS concept
Ans. 
OOPS (Object-Oriented Programming) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects, which can contain data and code.
• OOPS focuses on creating objects that interact with each other to solve complex problems

• Key principles include encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction

• Encapsulation ensures that the internal state of an object is hidden from the outside world

• Inheritance allows a class to inherit...read more
