Q4. What is multiple inheritance, and how is it achieved?
Ans. 
Multiple inheritance is a feature in object-oriented programming where a class can inherit attributes and methods from more than one parent class.
• Allows a class to inherit from multiple parent classes, combining their attributes and methods

• Can lead to the diamond problem where ambiguity arises if two parent classes have a method with the same name

• Achieved in languages like C++ using virtual inheritance or interfaces in

Q10. What are the different isolation levels in transactions and how do propagation types work?
Ans. 
Isolation levels in transactions determine the degree to which transactions are isolated from each other. Propagation types define how transactions are propagated between different components.
• Isolation levels include READ UNCOMMITTED, READ COMMITTED, REPEATABLE READ, and SERIALIZABLE.

• Propagation types include REQUIRED, REQUIRES_NEW, SUPPORTS, MANDATORY, and NEVER.

• Isolation levels control the visibility of changes made ...read more

Q13. How does fault tolerance work in microservices?
Ans. 
Fault tolerance in microservices ensures system reliability by handling failures gracefully.
• Microservices architecture breaks down applications into smaller, independent services.

• Each microservice is designed to be resilient to failures and can continue to operate even if one service fails.

• Fault tolerance is achieved through redundancy, monitoring, and graceful degradation.

• Examples of fault tolerance mechanisms include...read more
