    • Encapsulation helps in hiding the internal state of an object and only exposing necessary functionalities.

    • It allows for better control over the data by preventing direct access from outside the class.

  • Q2. List and its methods/functions
  • Ans. 

    List is a data structure in Python that stores a collection of items in a specific order.

    • Common methods/functions for lists in Python include append(), remove(), sort(), and index().

    • Lists can contain different data types, such as strings, integers, and even other lists.

    • Lists are mutable, meaning you can change the elements within a list after it has been created.

  • Ans. 

    break, pass, and continue are control flow statements used in programming to alter the flow of execution.

    • break: used to exit a loop or switch statement

    • pass: not a keyword in most programming languages, but can be used as a placeholder for future code

    • continue: used to skip the rest of the current iteration in a loop and start the next iteration

    • Lists are denoted by square brackets [], while tuples are denoted by parentheses ().

    • Lists can be modified after creation, while tuples cannot be modified.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: On 1st September 2016, Cognizant held this round at our college. We were initially told that it would be an adaptive paper but it was not so. We could not navigate between questions (both intra and inter section). There was a minimum number of questions which had to be attempted from each section else we would disqualify. The questions were easy and I found many questions common from AMCAT papers.
Tips: Practice as much as you can. Try to learn shortcut tricks to solve the questions quickly and easily. Try to solve questions within certain time limit. Give online tests so that you are familiar with giving tests on machine. Do not waste time in a particular question. If you can't solve it then leave it( if there is negative marking) or answer randomly( if there is no negative marking).
Duration: 55 mins minutes
Total Questions: 55

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interviewer asked me to introduce myself. I was nervous and so i fumbled in 2 or 3 sentences but then i took the pace. he chit chatted with me to release my pressure . he went through my resume and my marksheets. he asked a few HR questions and then started the technical interview. He asked me questions regarding microprocessors and electronics but I had prepared software subjects I being a CS student could not remember most of it. But I sill answered them with best of my knowledge. i told him that I would rather be comfortable with CS core subjects. then he shifted his focus to DBMS and Software Engineering I did not lose my calm although I was very nervous. I thought I would be rejected but finally I got selected.
Tips: Don't be nervous as most of the interviewers are really friendly and they give ample chances to prove yourself. Try to practice the your introduction. They may ask your questions that are not from your domain but try to answer them with your presence of mind and previous knowledge. you may be nervous but don't show that on your face. Try to have basic concepts of your core subjects.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: It is the best round. You can voice your own views. The interviewers are mostly friendly and you seem to have a discussion with your friends.
If you manage to appear for this round most probably you will be selected.
Tips: Just be simple and be frank. Answer to the point and do not sound arrogant.

Skill Tips: Try to clear the aptitude and half of your job is done. For technical interview try to learn the basics of c,OOPS,DBMS. Try to know about the company .
Be calm .
All the best..!!
