Spark architecture is a distributed computing system that provides high-level APIs for big data processing.
Spark architecture consists of a cluster manager, a distributed storage system, and a computing engine.
Data in Spark is represented as Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs) or DataFrames.
Spark supports various data models, including batch processing, streaming, machine learning, and graph processing.
Spark's a...
Quick sort is a divide and conquer algorithm that sorts an array by partitioning it into two sub-arrays.
Choose a pivot element from the array
Partition the array around the pivot element
Recursively apply the above steps to the sub-arrays
Combine the sorted sub-arrays to get the final sorted array
Program to find loop in linked list
Use two pointers, slow and fast, to traverse the linked list
If there is a loop, the fast pointer will eventually catch up to the slow pointer
To find the start of the loop, reset the slow pointer to the head and move both pointers at the same pace
Storage classes in C define the scope and lifetime of variables.
There are four storage classes in C: auto, register, static, and extern.
Auto variables are local to a block and have automatic storage duration.
Register variables are stored in CPU registers for faster access.
Static variables have a lifetime throughout the program and are initialized only once.
Extern variables are declared outside any function and can...
Heap sort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm that uses a binary heap data structure.
Heap sort works by building a binary heap from the array to be sorted.
The largest element is then swapped with the root node and removed from the heap.
The heap is then restructured and the process is repeated until the array is sorted.
Heap sort has a time complexity of O(n log n) and is not stable.
It is often used in embedded ...

Some questions related to my previous work experience and springboot as I have mentioned that in my skills
Interview Preparation Tips
Tip 1 : Focus mostly on data structure and algorithms, try to solve at least 3-4 problems daily if you're a college-going student or 1-2 if you're a working professional, on various platforms like LeetCode(preferred), GFG, Interviewbit (when the interview is close, best for company-wise prep). I think 250 + DSA problems from leetcode put you in a very good position of cracking most companies interview provided most of them are medium level problems.
Tip 2 : Apart from DSA, also try to do development side by side and make some decent projects to show on your resume.
Tip 3 : Never neglect Core CS Subjects, try to finish it from some youtube channels like gate smashers or knowledge gate, also you don't have to prepare all CS subjects as most companies ask only from DBMS, OS, and CN(computer Network)
Tip 1 : Mention only those things that you really know and have worked upon in the past
Tip 2 : Showcase your achievements like ranks in a coding contest like ICPC, Codeforces, CodeChef, etc or maybe in hackathons (this showcase that you're a really good developer to the recruiter)

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The first consisted of an online test which had an aptitude section which was pretty simply and then a programming section consisting of three different programs. The programs were logical required basic knowledge of array, sorting and a little bit of data structures.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Around 13 of us were shortlisted for the interview round, B.Tech and M.Tech included. The interview round was mostly interactive, where we had to mention about the various interns that we went through. A few programming questions were asked based on topics which we were comfortable with.
Tips: Just get used to coding, data structures and basic aptitude. GRE preparation as such helped me.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Finally there was a HR round in which I was asked as to why I would like to work in Samsung R&D and general things about interests and future plans. On the whole Samsung took 3 B.Tech students and 2 M.Tech students when they came for placements apart from PPOs.
General Tips: Personally I feel that one should apply in only those companies in which they are sure of having job satisfaction. So don't apply to companies which you are not interested in just for the sake of having a backup because once you are placed you do not have a second chance.
Do not get dejected if you do not get through in the first few tries. Keep your hopes up and be confident when ever you get to interview rounds. Try to be assertive when giving answers. It is some times exhausting to go through placements but the moment you get placed you will have the best feeling ever.
Skill Tips: Just chill and take the test. Once you clear the online test, irrespective of your pointer if you have a good profile you can convince the interviewers.

Friend functions can also be declared in a class to grant access to private a...
- Q15. Which is faster x++ or ++x and why?
- Ans.
++x is faster than x++ because it increments the value before using it.
++x increments the value before using it, while x++ increments the value after using it.
++x is faster because it saves the overhead of creating a temporary variable.
In some cases, the difference in speed may be negligible and the choice between the two may depend on readability and coding standards.
- Q16. Wat is a null object? is it conceptual?
- Ans.
A null object is an object that does not have a value or reference to any object.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: I prepared a single resume but changed my areas of interest while applying in different companies. For instance while applying in Samsung Electronics I wrote about my strengths in data structures and various programming languages. I had a long list of extra-curricular activities under my belt; I made sure to select a handful of relevant activities and mentioned them in my resume.
Round: Test
Experience: I had prepared for the CAT examination, for this I had joined a coaching class where we were given extensive practice of aptitude related questions which helped me a lot for the written tests.
First round was the written test. There were two tests, one was the aptitude test and the other was programming test. The former was simple, but the later was a little difficult. The programming test was based completely on C programming language. The questions asked were mainly from classes, objects and functions. In some of the questions they had given a complete code and we had to predict the output. The test was of half an hour duration. There were no questions on data structures and we were clearly told at the beginning of the test that knowledge of data structures is not must, but possessing the same could be beneficial in one’s bid to get a job in the company.
The aptitude test paper was easy and was divided into two sections, data interpretation and logical reasoning. There were 50 questions to be answered in 50 minutes.
Since the profile was open only for CS, EE and EC students there were not many students who appeared for the test. Around 60 to 70 students appeared for the test and 15 to 16 qualified for the next round.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: For the preparation of HR interviews I collected a set of questions and prepared my answers to them. I collected these questions from the internet. A few more questions on the same lines were also asked. While framing answers to these questions I added certain experiences of my life to add a personal touch.The questions asked in the interview were mainly technical. One of the interviewers asked me to explain the principles of C programming. He asked to write down the complete code of a string related problem and then asked me to do the same using classes. One more question that I vaguely remember being asked was about swapping of digits.
They next asked me a puzzle. In the puzzle I was asked to divide a rectangle into 9 equal pieces.
They also enquired whether I had designed any software or done any work in networking sector. I replied with a no, but I did tell them that I had studied DSP.
They did not ask me a lot of HR questions, but they did enquire about my family background. They also asked me whether I’d be ok if I were to be posted in Bangalore.
Tips: Before the interview we were given an HR form, in the form there was question in which we had to specify the technologies that we were interested in. Make sure that you answer this question with complete honesty because they do ask you questions based on this.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Samsung came to our campus with numerous profile. This profile basically required knowledge of basic electronics. They were up for people who had done something related to electronics which would be a project or a robotics event.
