A network is a collection of interconnected devices that communicate and share resources with each other.
Networks can be wired (using cables) or wireless (using radio waves).
Examples include local area networks (LANs) in homes or offices.
The internet is a vast network connecting millions of devices globally.
Networks enable resource sharing, such as printers and files.
Protocols like TCP/IP govern how data is transm...
An IP address is a unique identifier for a device on a network, enabling communication over the Internet.
IP stands for Internet Protocol, which is a set of rules for routing and addressing packets of data.
There are two main types of IP addresses: IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numbers, while IPv6 addresses are 128-bit, allowing for a vast...
Subnetting is the process of dividing a network into smaller, manageable sub-networks to improve performance and security.
Subnetting helps in efficient IP address management.
It enhances network security by isolating segments.
Example: A Class C network (192.168.1.0) can be subnetted into smaller networks like 192.168.1.0/26.
Subnet masks (e.g., 255.255.255.192) define the network and host portions of an IP address.
I...
DHCP automates IP address assignment, simplifying network management and reducing configuration errors.
DHCP assigns IP addresses dynamically to devices on a network, ensuring no conflicts.
It reduces manual configuration, allowing devices to connect to the network seamlessly.
DHCP can provide additional network configuration, such as subnet mask and default gateway.
For example, when a laptop connects to Wi-Fi, DHCP ...
Routers connect different networks, while switches connect devices within the same network.
Routers operate at Layer 3 (Network Layer) of the OSI model, while switches operate at Layer 2 (Data Link Layer).
Routers can connect multiple networks (e.g., LAN to WAN), while switches connect devices within a single network (e.g., computers in an office).
Routers use IP addresses to route data, while switches use MAC addres...
Java is a statically typed, compiled language, while Python is dynamically typed and interpreted, offering different paradigms and use cases.
Java is statically typed, meaning variable types are defined at compile time, e.g., 'int num = 5;'.
Python is dynamically typed, allowing variable types to be defined at runtime, e.g., 'num = 5'.
Java requires explicit declaration of data types, while Python uses type inference...
Normalization is the process of organizing data to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity in databases.
Eliminates duplicate data by dividing a database into tables.
Ensures data dependencies make sense, reducing the chance of anomalies.
Common forms include 1NF (First Normal Form), 2NF, and 3NF (Third Normal Form).
Example: In a customer database, separating customer info and order info into different tables.
Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language designed for portability and performance across platforms.
Developed by Sun Microsystems in 1995, now owned by Oracle.
Java is platform-independent due to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
It follows the principle of 'Write Once, Run Anywhere' (WORA).
Java is widely used for web applications, mobile apps (Android), and enterprise software.
Example: A simple Java ...
I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Sep 2022. There were 2 interview rounds.
Parameterization is the process of replacing hard-coded values with variables in performance testing scripts.
Parameterization helps in creating realistic load scenarios by varying input data
It reduces script maintenance efforts by centralizing data
It enables reuse of scripts for different data sets
Examples of parameterization include replacing user IDs, passwords, and input data with variables
I appeared for an interview in May 2025, where I was asked the following questions.
I applied via Walk-in and was interviewed in Nov 2024. There was 1 interview round.
An array is a data structure that stores a collection of elements of the same data type.
Arrays are used to store multiple values in a single variable.
Elements in an array are accessed by their index, starting from 0.
Example: String[] names = {"Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"};
Data structures are used to organize and store data efficiently in computer memory.
Data structures help in efficient data retrieval, insertion, and deletion operations.
Examples include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs.
Each data structure has its own advantages and use cases based on the requirements of the application.
For example, arrays are used for random access to elements, while linked lists ...
Jump Game problem involves determining if you can reach the last index of an array based on jump lengths.
The input is an array of non-negative integers, where each element represents the maximum jump length at that position.
You start at the first index and need to determine if you can reach the last index.
Example: For the array [2,3,1,1,4], you can jump to index 1 (3) and then to index 4 (last index).
A greedy approach ...
To rotate a matrix by 45 degrees, transpose the matrix and then reverse the rows.
Transpose the matrix
Reverse the rows of the transposed matrix
Encapsulation is the concept of bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit.
Encapsulation helps in hiding the internal state of an object and restricting access to it.
It allows for data hiding, which prevents direct access to an object's attributes.
Encapsulation also enables the concept of data abstraction, where only relevant details are exposed to the outside world.
By using access modifiers ...
MySQL database can be configured using configuration files like my.cnf, command line options, and environment variables.
Use my.cnf file to configure settings like port number, data directory, and buffer sizes
Command line options can be used to override settings from my.cnf file
Environment variables like MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD can be used to set passwords during installation
