I applied via Recruitment Consultant and was interviewed in May 2021. There were 4 interview rounds.
An immutable class is a class whose instances cannot be modified after creation.
Make all fields private and final
Don't provide any setter methods
Ensure that any mutable objects passed to the constructor are defensively copied
Make the class final so that it cannot be subclassed
Singleton pattern ensures only one instance of a class is created and provides a global point of access to it.
Create a private constructor to prevent direct instantiation of the class.
Create a private static instance of the class.
Create a public static method to access the instance, and create the instance if it doesn't exist.
Ensure thread safety by using synchronized keyword or double-checked locking.
Vector is synchronized and ArrayList is not. Vector is thread-safe and ArrayList is not.
Vector is a legacy class and ArrayList is a part of the Java Collection Framework.
Vector is synchronized which means only one thread can access it at a time, while ArrayList is not.
Vector is thread-safe which means it can be used in a multi-threaded environment, while ArrayList is not.
Vector is slower than ArrayList because of synch...
Create Linked List without using internal library and provide add, delete, find functionality.
Create a Node class with data and next pointer
Create a LinkedList class with head pointer and methods to add, delete, and find nodes
Use a loop to traverse the list and perform operations
Handle edge cases such as adding to an empty list or deleting the head node
The current system follows a microservices architecture.
The system is divided into multiple independent services.
Each service has its own database and communicates with other services through APIs.
The architecture allows for scalability and flexibility.
Examples of microservices used in the system include user authentication, payment processing, and inventory management.
Find the total no of islands in a 2D matrix.
Use DFS or BFS to traverse the matrix.
Mark visited cells to avoid repetition.
Count the number of islands found.
Loop detection in a linked list.
Use two pointers, one moving at twice the speed of the other.
If there is a loop, the faster pointer will eventually catch up to the slower one.
If there is no loop, the faster pointer will reach the end of the list.

Merge sort algorithm can be used to sort the balls in each basket and then merge the sorted baskets.
Apply merge sort algorithm to sort the balls in each basket
Merge the sorted baskets to get the final sorted order
Use recursion to implement merge sort
Time complexity of merge sort is O(nlogn)
Mutual Exclusion is a technique to ensure that only one process at a time can access a shared resource.
It prevents race conditions and ensures data consistency.
It can be implemented using locks, semaphores, or monitors.
Examples include critical sections in multi-threaded programs and database transactions.
It can lead to performance issues if not implemented efficiently.
Multithreading is the ability of a CPU to execute multiple threads concurrently. A process is an instance of a program in execution.
Multithreading allows multiple threads to run concurrently within a single process.
Threads share the same memory space and resources of the process they belong to.
Processes are independent of each other and have their own memory space and resources.
Threads are lightweight compared to proce...
Semaphore is a synchronization object used to control access to a shared resource.
Semaphore is used to limit the number of threads accessing a shared resource.
It can be used to implement critical sections and avoid race conditions.
Semaphore can be binary or counting, depending on the number of resources available.
Examples of semaphore in programming languages include Java's Semaphore class and Python's threading.Semaph
Wait for completion of all threads and join them into a single thread.
Use join() method to wait for completion of each thread.
Create a new thread and call start() method to start the execution of all threads.
Use sleep() method to pause the execution of the current thread until all threads complete their execution.
To delete 95,000 records with limited local memory, use batch processing and delete in chunks.
Use batch processing to delete records in chunks
Delete records in descending order of their IDs to avoid index fragmentation
Commit the transaction after deleting each batch to avoid long-running transactions
Consider archiving the deleted records instead of permanently deleting them
Program in C to implement a function 'sum' that performs integer addition, float addition, and string concatenation based on the input arguments.
Define the function 'sum' with two arguments of type 'void *'.
Use 'if-else' statements to check the data type of the arguments.
Perform integer addition if both arguments are of type 'int'.
Perform float addition if both arguments are of type 'float'.
Concatenate the strings if b...
SQL query for creating tables
Use CREATE TABLE statement
Specify table name and column names with data types
Add constraints like primary key, foreign key, etc.
Example: CREATE TABLE customers (id INT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(50), email VARCHAR(50))
Nested tables are tables within tables, used to organize and store complex data structures.
Nested tables are commonly used in databases to store arrays of data within a single row of a table.
They can also be used in programming languages to create multidimensional arrays.
Accessing data within a nested table requires using multiple levels of indexing.
Nested tables can improve data organization and simplify complex data
Views are virtual tables that display data from one or more tables in a database.
Views are created using SELECT statements.
They can be used to simplify complex queries.
They can also be used to restrict access to sensitive data.
Views do not store data themselves, but rather display data from underlying tables.
Changes made to the underlying tables are reflected in the view.
I am a software developer with experience in multiple programming languages and a passion for problem-solving.
Proficient in Java, Python, and C++
Experience with web development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Familiarity with Agile development methodologies
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
Excellent communication and teamwork abilities
Postfix expression can be evaluated using a stack data structure.
Create an empty stack
Scan the expression from left to right
If the scanned character is an operand, push it onto the stack
If the scanned character is an operator, pop two operands from the stack, perform the operation and push the result back
Repeat until the end of the expression
The final result is the top of the stack

At the beginning of this round, the interviewer asked me about the data structures I knew. Linked lists, trees, graphs, arrays etc. was my answer. He asked me how well I knew Dynamic Programming. I said I wasn’t strong in that and he said that he would ask me a question on dynamic programming for sure.
Round duration - 40 minutes

The interviewer asked me some Computer Science fundamentals in this round as well as some behavioural questions.
Implement a Trie data structure with insert and search functions.
Create a TrieNode class with children and isEndOfWord attributes.
Implement insert function to add words by iterating through characters.
Implement search function to check if a word exists by traversing the Trie.
Example: Insert 'apple', 'banana', 'orange' and search for 'apple' and 'grape'.
Do lot of hard work and practice of Data Structures and Algorithms based questions. I personally recommend you Coding Ninjas and Geeks For Geeks for interview preparation.
