Tata's lost its touch? TCS ain't what it used to be :-(
Tata is not the same after Sir Ratan Tata! TCS used to really look after its employees, even when they were on the bench. Now, things have changed and it's disappointing.

A Developer was asked 12mo ago
Q. Explain inheritance and abstraction.
Ans. 

Inheritance allows classes to inherit properties and methods from other classes, while abstraction hides complex implementation details.

  • Inheritance promotes code reusability. Example: A 'Dog' class can inherit from an 'Animal' class.

  • Abstraction simplifies complex systems by exposing only necessary parts. Example: An abstract class 'Shape' with a method 'draw()'.

  • Inheritance can be single or multiple. Example: In Ja...
