• Fragmentation divides memory into smaller blocks, leading to wasted space and inefficient memory usage.

• Segmentation divides memory into logical segments based on program structure or data types.

• Fragmentation can occur due to external fragmentation (unused memory between allocated blocks) or in...read more

The interview was scheduled by the placement cell in the evening. The interviewer seemed to be an experienced developer.
He asked me general background questions like what are you interested most in? what are your technical interests? etc.
He then asked me about my project. Explained him well on that front and he seemed satisfied. He asked me to find the Lowest Common Ancestor of a given Binary Search Tree. I solved it in around 20-30 minutes and he finally asked me to write the solution on paper. He asked some practical OOPs problems for a while and I answered correctly but the explanations could be more thorough.
