Examples of RDBMS include MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server. Examples of DBMS include Microsoft Access, FoxPro.
Q102. Given a chessboard find the maximum number of squares present?
The maximum number of squares on a chessboard is 64.
The chessboard has 64 squares in total.
The number of squares on a chessboard can be calculated using the formula n^2, where n is the number of rows or columns.
In this case, n = 8 (8 rows and 8 columns), so the maximum number of squares is 8^2 = 64.

A virtual function in C++ is a function that is declared within a base class and is redefined by a derived class.
Virtual functions allow a function to be overridden in a derived class.
They are used in polymorphism to achieve runtime binding.
The base class function must be declared as virtual for dynamic binding to occur.
Example: virtual void display() = 0; // pure virtual function

Example: Clustered index on a table's primary key
Structure padding is the concept of adding empty bytes to a structure to align its data members on memory boundaries.
Structure padding is done to optimize memory access and improve performance.
Padding is necessary because most processors require data to be aligned on specific memory boundaries for efficient access.
For example, if a structure contains a char followed by an int, padding may be added after the char to align the int on a 4-byte boundary.

Pre initialization helps avoid errors or unexpected behavior caused by using uninitialized variables.
It is a good practice to pre initialize variables with default values.
Pre initialization can be done using constructors, default values, or initialization blocks.
Example: int count = 0; initializes the variable 'count' with the value 0.
A friend function in OOP is a function that is not a member of a class but has access to its private and protected members.
Friend functions are declared inside a class with the 'friend' keyword.
