6 Interview questions

A Software Developer was asked 11mo ago
Q. How do you find the middle element in a linked list?
Ans. 

To find the mid element in a linked list, use two pointers - one moving at double the speed of the other.

  • Initialize two pointers, slow and fast, both pointing to the head of the linked list.

  • Move the slow pointer by one step and the fast pointer by two steps until the fast pointer reaches the end of the list.

  • The element pointed to by the slow pointer at this point is the mid element of the linked list.

A Software Developer was asked 11mo ago
Q. Tell me about virtual functions.
Ans. 

Virtual functions allow a function to be overridden in a derived class

  • Virtual functions are declared in a base class and can be overridden in derived classes

  • They are used in polymorphism to achieve runtime binding

  • Virtual functions are implemented using virtual keyword in C++

  • Example: virtual void display() = 0; // pure virtual function

A Software Developer was asked
Q. What is the difference between structs and objects?
Ans. 

Struct is a value type while object is a reference type in C#.

  • Structs are value types and stored on stack, while objects are reference types and stored on heap.

  • Structs are passed by value, while objects are passed by reference.

  • Structs do not support inheritance, while objects do.

  • Example: struct Point { int x, y; } vs class Point { int x, y; }

A Software Developer was asked
Q. What are the differences between let, var, and const?
Ans. 

let, var, and const are all used to declare variables in JavaScript, but they have different scopes and mutability.

  • let: block-scoped, can be reassigned

  • var: function-scoped, can be reassigned

  • const: block-scoped, cannot be reassigned, but its properties can be modified

A Software Developer was asked
Q. What is polymorphism?
Ans. 

Polymorphism is the ability of a function or method to behave differently based on the object it is called with.

  • Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.

  • It enables a single interface to be used for different data types.

  • Examples include method overloading and method overriding in object-oriented programming.

A Software Developer was asked
Q. Compilier Programming language and Intepreter Programming language examples
Ans. 

Compiler programming languages convert source code into machine code before execution, while interpreter programming languages execute code line by line.

  • Compiler programming languages: C, C++, Java

  • Interpreter programming languages: Python, Ruby, JavaScript

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.

  • Q1. 1.What is paging? Ans: it is used by Operating system to page the process
  • Ans. 

    Paging is a memory management technique used by the operating system to store and retrieve data from secondary storage.

    • Paging divides the memory into fixed-size pages and stores them in secondary storage.

    • When a process needs a page, the operating system retrieves it from secondary storage and loads it into memory.

    • Paging allows for efficient use of memory and helps prevent fragmentation.

  • Ans. 

    Various searching methods include BFS, DFS, binary search, and linear search.

    • BFS (Breadth-First Search) explores all the vertices at the same level before moving to the next level.

    • DFS (Depth-First Search) explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking.

    • Binary search is a divide and conquer algorithm that searches a sorted array by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. 4.How does quick sort works? Ans: Quick sort works by having a pivot element and sorts by divide and conquer
  • Ans. 

    Quick sort works by selecting a pivot element and sorting the array by divide and conquer.

    • Select a pivot element from the array

    • Divide the array into two sub-arrays, one with elements smaller than the pivot and the other with elements greater than the pivot

    • Recursively apply the above steps to the sub-arrays

    • Combine the sorted sub-arrays to get the final sorted array

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. 5.What is Min heap and Max heap Ans: Heap in which the root element or parent node is larger than the child it is called Max heap and vice viresa is called Min heap
  • Ans. 

    Max heap has the largest element at the root while Min heap has the smallest element at the root.

    • Max heap is a complete binary tree where the parent node is greater than or equal to its child nodes.

    • Min heap is a complete binary tree where the parent node is less than or equal to its child nodes.

    • Heaps are commonly used in sorting algorithms like Heap Sort and Priority Queues.
