  • Q1. How does ajax call work
  • Ans. 

    Ajax calls allow for asynchronous communication between client and server without reloading the page.

    • Ajax stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML

    • Uses XMLHttpRequest object to send and receive data

    • Allows for partial page updates without reloading the entire page

    • Can handle data in various formats such as JSON, XML, HTML, and plain text

    • Example: $.ajax({url: 'example.com', success: function(data){console.log(data)}});

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Difference between REST and SOAP
  • Ans. 

    REST is lightweight and uses HTTP while SOAP is XML-based and has more features.

    • REST uses HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE while SOAP uses XML messaging.

    • REST is stateless while SOAP can maintain state.

    • REST is faster and easier to use while SOAP is more secure and reliable.

    • REST is used for web services while SOAP is used for enterprise-level services.

    • Example of REST: Twitter API. Example of SOAP: Amazon Web Serv

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. What is GET and POST
  • Ans. 

    GET and POST are HTTP methods used for sending data to a server.

    • GET is used to retrieve data from a server

    • POST is used to submit data to a server

    • GET requests can be cached and bookmarked

    • POST requests are not cached and cannot be bookmarked

    • GET requests have length restrictions

    • POST requests have no length restrictions

    • GET requests are less secure than POST requests

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. What is observer pattern
  • Ans. 

    Observer pattern is a design pattern in which an object maintains a list of its dependents and notifies them automatically of any state changes.

    • Also known as publish-subscribe pattern

    • Used in event-driven systems

    • Allows loose coupling between objects

    • Example: A weather station broadcasts weather updates to multiple displays

    • Example: A stock market ticker notifies multiple investors of stock price changes

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. What is singleton
  • Ans. 

    Singleton is a design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to a single object.

    • Singleton ensures that only one instance of a class exists in the entire application.

    • It provides a global point of access to the instance.

    • Commonly used in scenarios where a single instance needs to coordinate actions across the system.

    • Example: Database connection manager, logger, configuration manager.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. What is immutable in java
  • Ans. 

    Immutable in Java refers to objects whose state cannot be changed after creation.

    • String, Integer, and other wrapper classes are immutable in Java.

    • Immutable objects are thread-safe and can be shared without synchronization.

    • To create an immutable class, make all fields final and private, and don't provide setters.

    • Examples of immutable classes in Java include LocalDate, LocalTime, and LocalDateTime.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q7. How do you create immutable in java
  • Ans. 

    Creating immutable in Java

    • Use final keyword to make variables immutable

    • Use private constructor to prevent object modification

    • Use defensive copying to prevent modification of mutable objects

    • Use enum to create immutable objects

    • Use String class to create immutable strings

  • Answered by AI
  • Q8. Where have you used immutable in java
  • Q9. What is dependency injection

    Dependency injection is a design pattern that allows objects to receive dependencies rather than creating them internally.

    • It helps to decouple the code and makes it more testable and maintainable.

    • It allows for easier swapping of dependencies without changing the code.

    • There are three types of dependency injection: constructor injection, setter injection, and interface injection.

    • Example: Instead of creating a database co...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q10. What is CORS
  • Ans. 

    CORS stands for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. It is a security feature implemented in web browsers to restrict access to resources from different origins.

    • CORS allows web servers to specify which origins are allowed to access its resources

    • It is implemented using HTTP headers

    • CORS prevents malicious websites from accessing sensitive data from other websites

    • Examples of resources that may be restricted by CORS include cook

  • Answered by AI
  • Q11. How do you overcome CORS
  • Ans. 

    CORS can be overcome by configuring the server to allow cross-origin requests.

    • Configure the server to include the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header

    • Use JSONP (JSON with Padding) to bypass CORS restrictions

    • Use a proxy server to make the request on behalf of the client

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test was on hackerrank.
Tips: * Fast coding and problem solving required
* Time crunch
* The test is valued a LOT in the hiring process
Duration: 120 minutes
Total Questions: 4

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Question 1 : He tried to take the discussion to web based technologies to which I straightly told I don’t know. Not sure if that was a good decision. Nevertheless, he went over my resume a lot of times and asked about various projects.
Question 2 : Discussed the various projects related to it.
Question 3 : He asked this question because I had worked on django during my FB internship. I proposed a tree based structure. xyz.com/a/b/c ---> b is child of a, c is child of b.

Question 4 : Next he moved to a very interesting question. Given a simple text editor, I want to facilitate autocomplete feature. We discussed about syntactic methods using language specific keywords. I suggested a trie based implementation which he liked. Later he asked me to improve and redirected me to using scope of the variables, and grammar of the language. We discussed about all the steps I did in language translators lab (macrojava -> minijava -> typechecking -> miniIR -> microIR -> miniRA ->Mips) where we built a Java compiler in Java. We later hopped back to original question and I suggested that we can use grammar to to store multiple (nested kind of) tries for different scope. He asked me how would I define “scope”. He gave me a scenario which helped me come up with the nested trie structure
int a;
{
int b;
{
int c; //a b c can be used
}
{
int d; //a b d can be used
}
}
He then asked me details of how I would code. I said we could use the respective visitors and maintain the current trie root for scope. He liked it but I missed at 2 places :
1. He asked me about token generation used in a compiler and I said flex and bison. I was expected to elaborate a bit.
2. He asked me how the grammar is generated and how the visitors are invoked. I couldn’t explain properly because I was not thorough with it.
Tips: * Keep smiling in the interviews.
* My interviewer had hopped from Microsoft to Visa. We had a short detailed discussion on how the transition was and what drove him to do that.
* It’s always good to know about the company to pick up interesting discussions, read up latest articles and news
* The interviewers want to see if you are passionate about what they are building. Their PPT (Pre Placement Talk) was also focussed majorly on the technologies they are building.
* If you take a question in a direction, make sure you are very very thorough with it. I took it in the direction of compilers, but couldn't make the transition seamlessly because I wasn't thorough with a lot of things (like token generation, visitor invocation).
* Not sure if telling upfront that you don't know about web technologies when you are applying for a profile that might need it is a good idea or not.


Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I think he was a senior person and spoke very passionately about the work that is happening in visa Bangalore office.

Question 1 : I said maybe I should have learnt a little about web based technologies. I think he was looking for a more generic answer.
Question 2 : I went ahead with calculating the expected score where my score random variable = 1 with probability p, and 0 with probability (1-p). I conditioned that expected score of game1 > game2 which would give me the range of p. I goofed up the equations twice but he said he liked my approach and I was just there

Question 3 : I suggested building a graph where a node is a word and an edge means a transition, and then performing BFS. He said that was obvious and that he was more interested in knowing how I build the graph. I suggested a method to reduce the number of string comparisons by storing a count vector with each word. Count vector is a 26 length vector where count[i] = number of times that letter occurs in the word. I would do string comparison to identify neighbours only if the difference in count vectors in 2. Eg, cot = cat - a + o. String comparison is still needed because of false positives. Eg, oct = cat - a + o but cat -> oct is not a valid transition. He liked my approach and asked me to code, discussed the complexity.
Tips: * Don't be naive around a senior engineer. Be confident.
* Explain your approach before going ahead solving it. I missed that in Q1 and for a long time he didn't know what I was heading towards.
* Write clean code, practice coding on paper to make sure you write compilable code. Shabby code is a turn off.
* Show passion for the company you are applying for.

General Tips: * Be friendly and keep smiling.
* Know about the company, well in detail. Recent news, articles, acquisitions, organisational changes, new offices, new product, etc.
* Know about the volume the company handles, certain mind boggling figures, what the company *does not* do
* If you are introducing yourself as an expert in a certain field, be prepared for questions like "How will you contribute to our company with your expertise" type of questions.
* Be very very thorough with every single thing you write on your resume. A small point you weren't sure about might become the basis of your whole interview. Don't write things you are unsure of, or have worked very little on.
Skill Tips: * I think I didn’t take Visa very seriously. I was assuming they won’t take a undergrad and they won’t take me because I have 0 knowledge in web based technologies. I might have acted a little cocky.
* They had nice pie diagrams which shows that they had done thorough research about each and every candidate based on resume and the coding test.
* They value the coding test a lot.
* Be very thorough with the projects you write on resume. They will give you a problem which won't be straightforward and will map onto one of your course projects. You are expected to do the mapping seamlessly. Every bit of the discussion you have with the interviewer can be your next problem.
* Brush up on web based technologies if you can.
* There will be a HR round as well if you clear the technical interviews.

* Loved their PPT (Pre Placement Talk). Volume of the data and processing is IMMENSE. Billions of transactions in a year voluming up to trillions. More than 200 countries in the world --> these stats are HUGE.
* Fraud detection is a space I would have loved to work on given that I come from a Data Mining background.
