A buffer is a zone around a geographic feature that is used for analysis or visualization purposes.

• Buffers are commonly used in GIS to analyze proximity, connectivity, and accessibility.

• They can be used to identify areas within a certain distance of a feature, such as a buffer zone around a school to determine areas within a 1-mile radius.

• Buffers can also be used for visualizing data, such as creating a buffer around a river to show areas that may be affected by flooding.

• They...read more

To find the middle of a linked list in one iteration, use two pointers with different speeds.

• Initialize two pointers, one slow and one fast, both pointing to the head of the linked list.

• Move the slow pointer one step at a time and the fast pointer two steps at a time.

• When the fast pointer reaches the end of the linked list, the slow pointer will be at the middle node.

React components go through various stages in their life cycle, from initialization to destruction.

• Initialization: Component is created and initialized with default props and state.

• Mounting: Component is rendered on the DOM for the first time.

• Updating: Component re-renders when props or state change.

• Unmounting: Component is removed from the DOM.

• Examples: componentDidMount() for mounting, componentDidUpdate() for updating, componentWillUnmount() for unmounting.

Data structures are used to organize and store data efficiently. Time complexity is the measure of efficiency.

• Arrays - O(1) for access, O(n) for search and insertion

• Linked Lists - O(n) for access, O(1) for insertion and deletion

• Stacks - O(1) for access, insertion and deletion

• Queues - O(1) for access, insertion and deletion

• Trees - O(log n) for access, insertion and deletion

• Hash Tables - O(1) for access, insertion and deletion

Basic SQL queries used in GIS data involve selecting, filtering, and joining spatial data.

• Selecting specific columns: SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name

• Filtering data based on conditions: WHERE condition

• Joining tables: JOIN table1 ON table1.column = table2.column

A binary tree is a data structure consisting of nodes, where each node has at most two children.

• Binary tree is used to represent hierarchical relationships between nodes

• Traversal of binary tree can be done in three ways: inorder, preorder, postorder

• Binary search tree is a type of binary tree where left child is smaller and right child is greater than parent

• Balanced binary tree has height difference of at most 1 between left and right subtrees

• Examples of binary tree applicatio...read more

Binary trees are classified based on the number of children each node can have.

• Full binary tree: every node has either 0 or 2 children

• Complete binary tree: all levels except possibly the last are completely filled, and all nodes are as far left as possible

• Perfect binary tree: all internal nodes have two children and all leaf nodes are at the same level

• Balanced binary tree: the difference in height between the left and right subtrees of any node is not more than 1

• Degenerate (o...read more
