Java 8 introduced significant features like lambdas, streams, and new APIs that enhance productivity and code readability.
Lambda Expressions: Enable concise representation of functional interfaces. Example: (a, b) -> a + b.
Streams API: Facilitates functional-style operations on collections. Example: list.stream().filter(x -> x > 10).collect(Collectors.toList()).
Default Methods: Allow interfaces to have me...

Reversing a string in Python can be achieved through iteration without using built-in functions like reverse or slicing.
Use a loop to iterate through the string from the last character to the first.
Initialize an empty string to store the reversed result.
Concatenate each character to the result string during the iteration.
Example: For 'hello', start from 'o', then 'l', 'l', 'e', 'h' to get 'olleh'.
To find the second largest element in a list, iterate through the list while tracking the largest and second largest values.
Initialize two variables: largest and second_largest.
Iterate through the list and update largest and second_largest accordingly.
Example: For the list [3, 1, 4, 4, 5], largest is 5 and second_largest is 4.
Handle edge cases: If the list has less than two unique elements, return an appropriate m...
Reversing a list of strings involves changing the order of elements and the characters within each string.
To reverse a list, you can use slicing in Python: `reversed_list = original_list[::-1]`.
To reverse each string in the list, use a list comprehension: `reversed_strings = [s[::-1] for s in original_list]`.
Example: For `['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']`, reversing gives `['cherry', 'banana', 'apple']` and reversing...
OOP is based on four main pillars: Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism, each serving unique purposes.
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods in a class. Example: 'class Car { private int speed; public void setSpeed(int s) { speed = s; }}'
Abstraction: Hiding complex implementation details. Example: 'abstract class Animal { abstract void sound(); }'
Inheritance: Deriving new classes from existi...
Scrum ceremonies are structured meetings that facilitate collaboration and progress in Agile development.
Sprint Planning: Teams plan the work for the upcoming sprint, defining the sprint goal and selecting backlog items.
Daily Scrum: A short, daily meeting where team members discuss progress, plans for the day, and any obstacles they face.
Sprint Review: At the end of the sprint, the team demonstrates the completed ...
Wireframing is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a digital product, focusing on layout and functionality.
Wireframes are typically low-fidelity, showing basic elements like buttons and navigation without detailed design.
They help in visualizing the user interface and user experience before development begins.
Tools like Balsamiq, Sketch, or Figma are commonly used for creating wireframes.

I appeared for an interview in May 2025, where I was asked the following questions.
Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language designed for portability and performance across platforms.
Platform-independent: Write once, run anywhere (WORA) - Java code can run on any device with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Object-oriented: Supports concepts like inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism, making code reusable and modular.
Rich API: Provides a comprehensive set of libraries for tasks li...
I faced a performance bottleneck in a microservices architecture and optimized the data flow to enhance system efficiency.
Identified the bottleneck using profiling tools like New Relic and pinpointed slow database queries.
Refactored the data access layer to implement caching strategies, reducing database load by 40%.
Introduced asynchronous processing for non-critical tasks, improving overall response time by 30%.

Promises and Async/Await are JavaScript features for handling asynchronous operations more efficiently and readably.
A Promise is an object representing the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation.
Promises have three states: pending, fulfilled, and rejected.
Example of a Promise: const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => { /* async operation */ });
Async/Await is syntactic sugar built on ...
I applied via LinkedIn and was interviewed in May 2024. There were 2 interview rounds.
Hoisting is a JavaScript mechanism where variable and function declarations are moved to the top of their containing scope during compilation.
Variable and function declarations are hoisted to the top of their scope.
Only declarations are hoisted, not initializations.
Function declarations take precedence over variable declarations.
Hoisting can lead to unexpected behavior if not understood properly.
Closures are functions that have access to variables from their containing scope even after the parent function has finished executing.
Closures allow functions to maintain access to variables from their outer scope
They are created when a function is defined within another function
Closures are commonly used in event handlers and callbacks
Promises are a way to handle asynchronous operations in JavaScript, providing a cleaner alternative to callbacks.
Promises represent the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation.
They allow you to chain multiple asynchronous operations together.
Promises have states: pending, fulfilled, or rejected.
You can handle the result of a promise using .then() and .catch() methods.
Example: const myPromise = new...
Callback Hell is a situation in asynchronous programming where multiple nested callbacks make the code hard to read and maintain.
Occurs when multiple asynchronous operations are nested within each other
Leads to deeply nested code which is hard to read and maintain
Can be avoided by using Promises or async/await syntax
Async/Await is a feature in JavaScript that allows for asynchronous programming using promises.
Async/Await is syntactic sugar built on top of promises in JavaScript.
It allows for writing asynchronous code that looks synchronous, making it easier to read and maintain.
Async functions return a promise, which allows for chaining multiple asynchronous operations.
Await keyword is used inside async functions to wait for a pro...

REST API is a standard protocol for web services using HTTP, while GraphQL is a query language for APIs.
REST API follows a client-server architecture with stateless communication, while GraphQL allows clients to request only the data they need.
REST API typically uses multiple endpoints for different resources, while GraphQL uses a single endpoint for flexible data retrieval.
REST API has predefined data structures, whil...

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers.
A prime number has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself.
Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13.
The number 1 is not prime because it has only one positive divisor.
The number 2 is the only even prime number; all other even numbers can be divided by 2.
