- Q1. Implement queue with the help of two stacks
- Ans.
Queue can be implemented using two stacks by maintaining the order of elements in the stacks.
Create two stacks, let's call them stack1 and stack2
When an element is enqueued, push it to stack1
When an element is dequeued, pop all elements from stack1 and push them to stack2
Pop the top element from stack2 and return it as the dequeued element
If stack2 is empty, repeat step 3
To get the front element of the queue, peek the
- Q2. Iven a table “student” of with columns Name and Marks. You have to write a SQL query to get the 2nd highest marks from the table. Also write a query to find the nth highest marks, where n can be any number
- Q3. What is left join. Give example. And Full outer join?
- Ans.
Left join returns all records from left table and matching records from right table. Full outer join returns all records from both tables.
Left join is used to combine two tables based on a common column.
In left join, all records from the left table are returned along with matching records from the right table.
If there is no match in the right table, NULL values are returned.
Example: SELECT * FROM table1 LEFT JOIN table...
- Q4. What is magic functions and autoloading in PHP?
- Ans.
Magic functions are special methods in PHP that start with __. Autoloading is a way to automatically load classes.
Magic functions are used to handle certain events in PHP, such as object creation or property access.
Autoloading allows PHP to automatically load classes when they are needed, without requiring manual includes.
Magic functions can be used in conjunction with autoloading to dynamically load classes or handle
- Q5. Given three arrays sorted in non-decreasing order, print all common elements in these arrays. Examples: ar1[] = {1, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80} ar2[] = {6, 7, 20, 80, 100} ar3[] = {3, 4, 15, 20, 30, 70, 80, 120} Ou...
- Ans.
Given three sorted arrays, find common elements.
Create three pointers to traverse each array
Compare the elements at the pointers and move the pointer of the smallest element
If all pointers point to the same element, add it to the result and move all pointers
Repeat until any pointer reaches the end of its array
- Q6. A puzzle. You will be given with a 3 Litre container & a 7 Litre Container. Measure exactly 5 Litres of water
- Q7. Asked about one of my projects I mentioned in my resume?
- Q8. Find if a number is a power of 2 or not?
- Ans.
Check if a number is a power of 2 or not.
A power of 2 has only one bit set in its binary representation.
Use bitwise AND operator to check if the number is a power of 2.
If n is a power of 2, then n & (n-1) will be 0.

- Q1. What is event bubbling in JavaScript?
- Ans.
Event bubbling is a method of event propagation in the HTML DOM API when an event is in an element inside another element, and both elements have registered a handle to that event. It is a process that starts with the element that triggered the event and then bubbles up to the containing elements in the hierarchy. In event bubbling, the event is first captured and handled by the innermost element and then propagated to...
- Q2. How can you optimize the loading of website assets?
- Ans.
To optimize website load time we need to optimize its asset loading and for that:
1) CDN hosting - A CDN or content delivery network is geographically distributed servers to help reduce latency.

A queue can be implemented using two stacks. Let queue to be implemented be q and stacks used to implement q be stack1 and stack2. q can be implemented in two ways:
Approach 1 (By making enQueue operation costly) : This method makes sure that oldest entered element is always at the top of stack 1, so that deQueue operation just pops from stack1. To put the element at top of stack1, stack2 is used.

Approach :
1) We will first sort the intervals by non-decreasing order of their start time.
2) Then we will add the first interval to our resultant list.
3) Now, for each of the next intervals, we will check whether the current interval is overlapping with the last interval in
our resultant list.

2) Recur for the left subtree and store the diameter of the left subtree in a variable ‘leftDiameter’, i.e.
‘leftDiameter’ = getDiameter(left child of the root node)

Power of 2 Problem Statement
Determine if it is possible to reorder the digits of a given integer 'N' such that the resulting number is a power of two. The leading digit must not be zero.
Input:
The fir... - Ans.
Approach : If a number N is power of 2 then bitwise & of N and N-1 will be zero. We can say N is a power of 2 or not
based on the value of N&(N-1). The expression N&(N-1) will not work when N is 0.
So,handle that case separately.

2) Highly complex programs can be created, handled, and maintained easily using object-oriented programming.
3) OOPs, promote code reuse, thereby reducing redundancy.
4) OOPs also helps to hide the unnecessary details with the help of Data Abstraction.
5) OOPs, are based on a bottom-up approach, unlike the Structural programming paradigm, which uses a top-d... - Q4. What are access specifiers and what is their significance in Object-Oriented Programming?
- Ans.
Access specifiers, as the name suggests, are a special type of keywords, which are used to control or specify the
accessibility of entities like classes, methods, etc. Some of the access specifiers or access modifiers include “private”,
“public”, etc. These access specifiers also play a very vital role in achieving Encapsulation - one of the major features
of OOPs.

- Q1. What is event bubbling?
- Ans.
Event bubbling is the propagation of an event from the innermost child element to the outermost parent element.

- Ans.
Function to simulate dice roll with equal probability without using random function
Use a toss function that returns either 0 or 1 with equal probability
Call the toss function 3 times and convert the result to a binary number
If the binary number is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 6, return it
If the binary number is greater than 6, repeat the process
