SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standard programming language for managing and manipulating relational databases.
SQL is used to perform tasks such as querying data, updating records, and managing database structures.
Common SQL commands include SELECT (to retrieve data), INSERT (to add new records), UPDATE (to modify existing records), and DELETE (to remove records).
Example of a SELECT statement: SELECT * FROM...
Converting infix to postfix involves using a stack to reorder operators and operands based on precedence and associativity.
1. Initialize an empty stack for operators and an empty list for the output.
2. Read the infix expression from left to right.
3. If the token is an operand, add it to the output list. Example: 'A' -> output: ['A']
4. If the token is an operator, pop from the stack to the output list until the ...

This code snippet demonstrates how to reverse a string using various programming techniques.
Using built-in functions: In Python, you can reverse a string with slicing: `reversed_string = original_string[::-1]`.
Using loops: Iterate through the string in reverse order and build a new string: `for char in original_string[::-1]: new_string += char`.
Using recursion: Define a function that calls itself with the substrin...
A linked list is a linear data structure where elements are stored in nodes, each pointing to the next, allowing dynamic memory allocation.
Consists of nodes, each containing data and a reference (or pointer) to the next node.
Types include singly linked lists, doubly linked lists, and circular linked lists.
Singly linked list: Each node points to the next node; e.g., A -> B -> C.
Doubly linked list: Each node p...
An array is a data structure that stores a fixed-size sequence of elements of the same type, allowing for efficient indexing.
Arrays can hold multiple values in a single variable, e.g., ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'].
They are zero-indexed, meaning the first element is accessed with index 0.
Arrays have a fixed size, defined at the time of creation, e.g., int[] numbers = new int[5];
They allow for efficient data retrie...
The pillars of OOP are encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction, forming the foundation of object-oriented programming.
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data within one unit (class). Example: A 'Car' class with properties like 'speed' and methods like 'accelerate()'.
Inheritance: Mechanism to create a new class using properties and methods of an existing class. Example: '...
Discussing projects and technologies that utilize basic data structures and algorithms (DSA) in software development.
Developed a task management application using arrays to store tasks and linked lists for task prioritization.
Implemented a sorting algorithm (like QuickSort) in a project to optimize data retrieval in a database application.
Created a simple game using stacks to manage game states and queues for play...
HashMap stores key-value pairs, while HashSet stores unique values without duplicates, both using hashing for performance.
Data Structure: HashMap is a map that stores key-value pairs, e.g., `HashMap<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();`.
Uniqueness: HashSet only stores unique values, e.g., `HashSet<String> set = new HashSet<>(); set.add("apple");`.
Null Values: HashMap allows one null key ...

Object oriented programming is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects, which can contain data in the form of fields and code in the form of procedures.
Objects are instances of classes, which define the structure and behavior of the objects.
Encapsulation is the concept of bundling data and methods that operate on the data within a single unit, such as a class.
Inheritance allows classes to inherit attribu...

An aptitude test evaluates an individual's potential to excel in a specific area by assessing their strengths and weaknesses in particular abilities.
An assessment that measures an individual's inherent abilities and potential for success in a specific activity.
A coding test is a programming assessment designed to evaluate a candidate's coding skills. It is a standard component of the technical hiring process for software developers and programmers.
Assessment that evaluates a candidate's coding skills
Group discussion (GD) topics for interviews may cover areas such as business, social issues, and current affairs. GDs serve to evaluate a candidate's communication, leadership, and teamwork abilities.
Discussion assignments are prompts that your teacher may assign to you. By participating in these discussions, you can reflect on your learning, share ideas and opinions, or ask and answer questions. Discussions may require you to respond to individual questions or provide multiple responses to an ongoing conversation.

Java code to find prime numbers
Use a loop to iterate through numbers and check if each number is prime
A prime number is a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself
Start checking from 2 up to the number itself, if any number divides it then it's not prime
