13 Interview questions

A Senior Software Engineer was asked
Q. Given a 2D grid map of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of connected islands. This is a variation of the number of connected islands problem from graph theory.
Ans. 

Count the number of connected islands in a graph

  • Use Depth First Search (DFS) or Breadth First Search (BFS) to traverse the graph and mark visited nodes

  • Keep track of the number of islands encountered during traversal

  • An island is a group of connected 1s in a 2D grid, where '1' represents land and '0' represents water

A Senior Software Engineer was asked
Q. Explain the relationship between hashcode and equals methods in hashing.
Ans. 

Understanding hashcode and equals methods is crucial for object comparison and storage in hash-based collections.

  • The hashCode() method returns an integer representation of an object, used in hash tables.

  • The equals() method checks if two objects are logically equivalent.

  • If two objects are equal (equals() returns true), they must have the same hash code (hashCode() returns the same value).

  • Example: In a custom class,...

A Senior Software Engineer was asked
Q. What is a semaphore?
Ans. 

Semaphore is a synchronization object used to control access to a shared resource.

  • Semaphore is a signaling mechanism used to control access to a shared resource

  • It maintains a count of available resources and blocks the thread if the count is zero

  • Semaphore can be used to implement critical sections, mutexes, and barriers

  • Examples include controlling access to a database or limiting the number of concurrent connectio...

A Senior Software Engineer was asked
Q. Write a program to set or reset a bit.
Ans. 

WAP set bit or reset bit is a programming concept used to manipulate individual bits in a binary number.

  • Setting a bit involves changing its value from 0 to 1.

  • Resetting a bit involves changing its value from 1 to 0.

  • This concept is commonly used in low-level programming and hardware manipulation.

  • Example: Setting the 3rd bit of a binary number 1010 would result in 1110.

  • Example: Resetting the 2nd bit of a binary numbe...

A Senior Software Engineer was asked
Q. Which command is used to capture Wireshark logs?
Ans. 

The command used for taking Wireshark logs is 'tcpdump'.

  • Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer tool

  • Tcpdump is a command-line tool used to capture network traffic

  • Tcpdump can be used to capture packets and save them as a file for analysis in Wireshark

  • Example command: tcpdump -i eth0 -w capture.pcap

A Senior Software Engineer was asked
Q. Given a linked list, determine if it has a cycle in it.
Ans. 

To find a loop in a linked list, use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm.

  • Use two pointers, one moving at a rate of one node per iteration and the other moving at a rate of two nodes per iteration.

  • If there is a loop, the two pointers will eventually meet at the same node.

  • If there is no loop, the faster pointer will reach the end of the list.

  • Time complexity: O(n), Space complexity: O(1)

A Senior Software Engineer was asked
Q. Which bandwidth are you using with RBs?
Ans. 

RB's bandwidth usage depends on the specific product and its features.

  • RB's have different bandwidth usage depending on the product

  • The bandwidth usage also depends on the features of the product

  • Examples of RB's with different bandwidth usage are RB750Gr3 and RB4011iGS+RM

Are these interview questions helpful?
A Senior Software Engineer was asked
Q. How do you determine the number of processes running on a server?
Ans. 

Use command line tools like 'ps' or 'top' to find the number of running processes on a server.

  • Use 'ps aux' command to list all running processes and count the number of lines

  • Use 'top' command and look for the 'Tasks' section which shows the number of running processes

  • Use 'htop' command which provides a more interactive and detailed view of running processes

A Senior Software Engineer was asked
Q. Thread synchronisation, print alternate numbers using 5 different threads
Ans. 

Use 5 threads to print alternate numbers with thread synchronization

  • Create 5 threads, each responsible for printing a specific set of numbers

  • Use mutex or semaphore to synchronize the threads

  • Thread 1 prints odd numbers, Thread 2 prints even numbers, and so on

  • Ensure proper handling of thread creation and synchronization

  • Example: Thread 1 prints 1, 3, 5, ... Thread 2 prints 2, 4, 6, ...

A Senior Software Engineer was asked
Q. 1. Bwp part concept
Ans. 

BWP part concept refers to the concept of breaking down a software system into smaller, more manageable parts.

  • BWP stands for Break-When-Problematic

  • It helps in identifying and isolating issues in the system

  • Each part should have a clear responsibility and interface with other parts
