It was an online test where you to solve two basic programming problems.

It was a GD where 21 other candidates were present alongside me. The interviewer asked basic questions which we had to answer after raising our hands. It was on fcfs basis. The questions were mostly about basics OOPs concepts, arrays, linkedlist, tree, sorting, searching and time-space complexities. The difficulty of GD round is nominal. All you have to response first and clearly.

Q1. OOPs Concepts and Java
Ans. The technical round was held in Office face to face. I was given 3 coding problems of which I was able to solve 2 problems. After that I was asked to write a program for linkedlist. After that the interviewer asked me some basic questions about OOPs and basic code structure in Java(because I was coding in Java). Make sure you have knowledge of everything which is included in any basic program including keywords, import

Q1. What are oops concepts in java, explain real time scenario
Ans. 
OOPs concepts in Java include inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction.
• Inheritance allows a subclass to inherit properties and methods from a superclass.

• Polymorphism allows objects to take on multiple forms and behave differently based on their context.

• Encapsulation hides the implementation details of an object and only exposes necessary information.

• Abstraction allows for the creation of abstract class...read more

Q2. Uses of interface, inheritance
Ans. 
Interfaces define contracts for behavior, while inheritance allows for code reuse and polymorphism.
• Interfaces allow for loose coupling and abstraction, enabling multiple implementations of the same behavior.

• Inheritance allows for code reuse and extension of existing classes, reducing code duplication.

• Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as if they were of the same class, simplifying code and i
