  • Q2. How to serialize and deserialise a tree
  • Ans. 

    To serialize and deserialize a tree, use a recursive approach to traverse the tree and store the data in a suitable format.

    • Use pre-order traversal to serialize the tree by storing the node values in a list or string.

    • For deserialization, reconstruct the tree by recursively building nodes from the serialized data.

    • Consider using JSON or XML format for serialization to easily store and retrieve tree structure.

  • Q2. Write a short promise example and implement your own promise
  • Ans. 

    A promise is a commitment to do something in the future, typically used for asynchronous operations in JavaScript.

    • Promises are used to handle asynchronous operations in JavaScript.

    • They represent a value that may be available now, in the future, or never.

    • Promises have three states: pending, fulfilled, or rejected.

    • Example: new Promise((resolve, reject) => { setTimeout(() => resolve('Done!'), 1000); });

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Explain event loop, what are different types of queues in event loop
  • Ans. 

    Event loop is a mechanism that allows for asynchronous execution of code by managing the order of events in a single thread.

    • Event loop continuously checks the call stack for any functions that need to be executed, and processes them in a non-blocking manner.

    • Different types of queues in event loop include microtask queue (Promise callbacks), macrotask queue (setTimeout, setInterval callbacks), and animation frame queue

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. What is virtual DOM and why its faster

    Virtual DOM is a lightweight copy of the actual DOM, used to improve performance by minimizing direct manipulation of the real DOM.

    • Virtual DOM is a concept used in frameworks like React to optimize rendering performance.

    • Changes are first made to the virtual DOM, which is then compared to the real DOM to identify the minimal updates needed.

    • This approach reduces the number of actual DOM manipulations, resulting in faster...
