Interview Questionnaire 

5 Questions

  • Q1. What is inheritance?
  • Ans. 

    Inheritance is a concept in object-oriented programming where a class inherits properties and behaviors from another class.

    • Inheritance allows for code reuse and promotes modularity.

    • The class that is being inherited from is called the superclass or base class.

    • The class that inherits from the superclass is called the subclass or derived class.

    • The subclass can access the public and protected members of the superclass.

  • Q2. Regular expressions in PhP
  • Ans. 

    Regular expressions in PHP are powerful tools for pattern matching and manipulating strings.

    • Regular expressions are defined using the preg_match() function in PHP.

    • They are used to search, replace, and validate strings based on specific patterns.

    • Regex patterns consist of a combination of characters and special symbols.

    • Modifiers can be added to the pattern to control the matching behavior.

  • Q3. What is polymorphism? Explain using a real life example
  • Ans. 

    Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms. It allows objects of different classes to be treated as the same type.

    • Polymorphism allows a single interface to be used for different types of objects.

    • It enables code reusability and flexibility in object-oriented programming.

    • For example, a parent class 'Animal' can have multiple child classes like 'Dog', 'Cat', and 'Bird'. They can all be treated as 'Anim...
