Implementing frontend design involves creating user interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for web applications.
Use HTML for structure: Create semantic elements like <header>, <nav>, <main>, and <footer>.
Style with CSS: Apply styles using classes and IDs, and consider responsive design with media queries.
Enhance interactivity with JavaScript: Use DOM manipulation to create dynamic conte...
API calls are requests made to a server to retrieve or send data, essential for web applications and services.
HTTP Methods: Use methods like GET (retrieve data), POST (send data), PUT (update data), and DELETE (remove data).
Fetch API: Modern JavaScript provides the Fetch API for making network requests. Example: fetch('https://api.example.com/data').then(response => response.json()).then(data => console.log(...

Use final keyword for class declaration to prevent inheritance
Make all fields private and final to prevent modification
Do not provide setter methods, only getter methods should be used
What people are saying about CARS24
HashMap is a data structure that stores key-value pairs and allows for fast retrieval of values based on keys.
HashMap is implemented using an array of linked lists or a balanced tree to handle collisions.
It uses a hash function to map keys to indices in the array.
Example: HashMap<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>(); map.put("key", 123); int value = map.get("key");
LRU cache is a data structure that stores the most recently used items, discarding the least recently used items when full.
Use a doubly linked list to keep track of the order of items based on their usage.
Use a hash map to quickly access items in the cache.
When a new item is accessed, move it to the front of the linked list. If the cache is full, remove the item at the end of the list.
You are provided with two sorted linked lists. Your task is to merge them into a single sorted linked list and return the head of the combined linked list.
Merge two sorted linked lists into a single sorted linked list without using additional space.
Create a dummy node to start the merged list
Compare the values of the two linked lists and add the smaller value to the merged list
Move the pointer of the merged list and the pointer of the smaller value list
Continue this process until one of the lists is fully traversed
Append the remaining elements of the other list to t...
Output-based questions in JavaScript using browser APIs

The event loop is a mechanism in programming that allows for asynchronous execution of code.
The event loop is a key component in JavaScript's runtime environment, responsible for handling asynchronous operations.
It continuously checks the call stack for any pending tasks and executes them in a non-blocking manner.
The event loop ensures that the program remains responsive by allowing other code to run while waiting...
The app I recently worked on is a social media platform for sharing photos and connecting with friends.
The app follows a client-server architecture, with the client being the mobile app and the server handling data storage and processing.

To find the fastest 3 horses out of a group with 5 horses racing at a time, we can use a tournament style approach.
Divide the horses into groups of 5 and race them against each other. This will give you the fastest horse in each group.
Take the winners from each group and race them against each other. The top 3 horses in this final race will be the fastest 3 overall.
Keep track of the results and compare the timings to d...

Yes, the 0/1 Knapsack problem can be solved using dynamic programming with a space complexity of not more than O(W).
Use a 1D array to store the maximum value that can be stolen for each weight capacity from 0 to W.
Iterate through each item and update the array based on whether including the item would increase the total value.
The final value in the array at index W will be the maximum value that can be stolen.
