Q3. Is Redis single-threaded or multi-threaded?
Ans. 
Redis is single-threaded.
• Redis is single-threaded, meaning it can only execute one command at a time.

• This design choice allows Redis to be extremely fast and efficient for certain use cases.

• However, it also means that Redis may not be the best choice for highly concurrent workloads.

Q4. What sort of data types can be used as keys in Python?
Ans. 
Data types that can be used as keys in Python include strings, integers, floats, tuples, and custom objects.
• Strings are commonly used as keys in Python dictionaries.

• Integers and floats can also be used as keys.

• Tuples can be used as keys if they only contain immutable elements.

• Custom objects can be used as keys if they are hashable.

• Examples: {'name': 'John'}, {1: 'apple'}, {(1, 2): 'tuple'}

Q5. What types of indexing exist in SQL?
Ans. 
Types of indexing in SQL include clustered, non-clustered, unique, and composite indexes.
• Clustered index physically reorders the table based on the index key

• Non-clustered index creates a separate structure for the index

• Unique index ensures that all values in the index column are unique

• Composite index uses multiple columns for indexing

Q1. Pillars of Object Oriented Programming. Real Life Example of Pillars of OOPS.
Ans. 
Pillars of OOP are Inheritance, Encapsulation, Abstraction, and Polymorphism. Real life example: Vehicles.
• Inheritance: Car and Bike classes inheriting from Vehicle class.

• Encapsulation: Data hiding in a class to protect it from outside interference.

• Abstraction: Using a remote control to operate a TV without knowing its internal workings.

• Polymorphism: Overloading a method with different parameters in a class.

Q2. Is Function Overloading the Only Example of Compile Time Polymorphism ?
Ans. 
No, Function Overloading is not the only example of Compile Time Polymorphism.
• Function Templates are another example of Compile Time Polymorphism where a single function can operate on different data types.

• Operator Overloading is also an example of Compile Time Polymorphism where operators can be overloaded to work with different data types.

• Static Polymorphism achieved through method overloading is another example of C

Q3. Difference Between Arrays and LinkedLists. Cons and Pros of Using Them. Which Out of Both Would be Preferable in Different Situations ?
Ans. 
Arrays store elements in contiguous memory locations, while LinkedLists store elements in nodes with pointers to the next element.
• Arrays have constant time access to elements using index, while LinkedLists have O(n) access time as they need to traverse from the beginning.

• Arrays have fixed size, while LinkedLists can dynamically grow and shrink in size.

• Arrays are better for random access and search operations, while Lin...read more

• Insertion: Add a new node at the beginning, end, or at a specific position in the LinkedList.

• Deletion: Remove a node by updating references to skip over it.

• Reversing: Traverse the LinkedList and reverse the links between nodes.

Q6. Reverse a String without Using Any Loop or Using Any Other Data Structure.
Ans. 
Use recursion to reverse the string without using loops or other data structures.
• Create a recursive function that takes the string as input.

• In the function, check if the string is empty or has only one character, return the string in that case.

• Otherwise, call the function recursively with the substring excluding the first character and concatenate the first character at the end.

• Use a hashmap to store the frequency of each number in the array.

• Iterate through the array and update the frequency count in the hashmap.

• Find the number with the highest frequency in the hashmap to get the maximum occurring number.

Q1. Difference between stack and heap ?
Ans. 
Stack is used for static memory allocation and stores local variables, while heap is used for dynamic memory allocation and stores objects.
• Stack memory is allocated in a contiguous block and is faster to access compared to heap memory.

• Variables stored on the stack have limited scope and lifetime, while objects on the heap can persist beyond the scope of the function.

• Stack memory is managed by the compiler, while heap m...read more
