- Q1. What is Java , what are the four pillars of java
- Ans.
Java is a popular programming language known for its platform independence and object-oriented approach.
Java is platform-independent, meaning it can run on any device with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
Object-oriented programming is a key feature of Java, allowing for code reusability and modularity
The four pillars of Java are: Inheritance, Encapsulation, Abstraction, and Polymorphism
Inheritance allows a class to inherit...

- Q3. What is recursion, write a code for it
- Ans.
Recursion is a programming technique where a function calls itself to solve a problem.
Recursion involves breaking down a problem into smaller subproblems and solving them recursively.
A base case is needed to stop the recursion and prevent infinite loops.
Example: Factorial calculation using recursion - function factorial(n) { return n === 0 ? 1 : n * factorial(n-1); }
- Q4. Why we don't use pointers in java
- Ans.
Java doesn't use pointers for security and simplicity reasons.
Java uses references instead of pointers to avoid direct memory manipulation.
Pointers can lead to memory leaks and security vulnerabilities.
Java's garbage collection manages memory automatically, reducing the need for pointers.
- Q5. What are the difference between array and arraylist
- Ans.
Array is a fixed-size data structure while ArrayList is a dynamic-size data structure in Java.
Array is a fixed-size collection of elements of the same data type, while ArrayList is a dynamic-size collection that can grow or shrink.
Arrays can store primitive data types and objects, while ArrayList can only store objects.
Arrays require a specified size at the time of declaration, while ArrayList can dynamically resize it...

- Q2. What is dynamic memory allocation in Java
- Ans.
Dynamic memory allocation in Java refers to the process of allocating memory for objects at runtime.
Dynamic memory allocation allows for objects to be created and destroyed during program execution.
The 'new' keyword is used to dynamically allocate memory for objects in Java.
Dynamic memory allocation helps in managing memory efficiently by allocating memory only when needed.
Example: int[] arr = new int[5]; dynamically a

- Q1. What is the difference between normal and arrow functions
- Ans.
Arrow functions are more concise and have a lexical 'this' binding compared to normal functions.
Arrow functions do not have their own 'this' keyword, they inherit it from the parent scope.
Arrow functions do not have their own 'arguments' object.
Arrow functions cannot be used as constructors with 'new'.
Arrow functions are more concise and have implicit return when no curly braces are used.

- Q3. They asked to show me an example using the API call
- Q4. Difference between forEach and Map
- Ans.
forEach is used to iterate over an array and perform a function on each element, while map creates a new array by applying a function to each element.
forEach does not return a new array, while map does
forEach does not modify the original array, while map creates a new array
forEach is used for side effects, while map is used for transformation
Example: forEach - array.forEach(item => console.log(item)), map - const newAr

- Q1. What is constant?
- Ans.
A constant is a value that does not change during the execution of a program.
Constants are used to store values that remain the same throughout the program.
They are declared using the 'const' keyword in many programming languages.
Examples include mathematical constants like pi (3.14159) or physical constants like the speed of light (299,792,458 m/s).
- Q2. What is object oriented programming?
- Ans.
Object oriented programming is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects, which can contain data and code.
Objects are instances of classes, which define the structure and behavior of the objects.
Encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism are key principles of object oriented programming.
Example: Inheritance allows a subclass to inherit attributes and methods from a superclass.
