I appeared for an interview in Mar 2025, where I was asked the following questions.
Integrating a prototype class within a singleton pattern enhances flexibility and reusability in object creation.
Define a singleton class using a private constructor to restrict instantiation.
Create a prototype class with methods to clone its instances.
In the singleton class, include a method to return a new instance of the prototype.
Example: Singleton class with a method to clone a prototype object.

Creating a custom Starter dependency involves defining a Spring Boot Starter for reusable configurations.
1. Define a new Maven or Gradle project for your Starter.
2. Create a 'spring.factories' file in 'src/main/resources/META-INF' to register auto-configuration classes.
3. Implement the necessary configuration classes that encapsulate your desired functionality.
4. Package your Starter as a JAR and publish it to a Maven ...
Creating a custom scope in software development allows for tailored functionality and improved code organization.
Define the purpose of the custom scope clearly.
Use annotations to specify the scope, e.g., @Scope in Spring.
Implement lifecycle management for the scope.
Example: In Angular, create a custom scope using 'scope.$new()' for isolated scopes.
Ensure proper cleanup of resources when the scope is destroyed.

The task is to determine if there exists a line parallel to the Y-axis that reflects given points symmetrically.
Iterate through each test case and check if a vertical reflection line exists for the given points

rows and M
columns, containing only 1s (land) and 0s (water). Your goal is to determine the number of islands in t...

Round duration - 60 minutes
Round difficulty - Medium
This round had 2 coding questions followed by some questions from DBMS.
You are given an array/list HEIGHTS
of length N
, where each element represents the height of a histogram bar. The width of each bar is considered to be 1.
Find the area of the largest rectangle that can be formed within the bounds of a given histogram.
Iterate through the histogram bars and calculate the area of the largest rectangle that can be formed using each bar as the height.
Use a stack to keep track of the indices of the bars in non-decreasing order of height.
Pop elements from the stack and calculate the area until a smaller height bar is encountered.
Update the max...
Given a string 'STR' consisting solely of the characters “{”, “}”, “(”, “)”, “[” and “]”, determine if the parentheses are balanced.
The first line contains an...
The task is to determine if a given string consisting of parentheses is balanced or not.
Iterate through the characters of the string and use a stack to keep track of opening parentheses.
If an opening parenthesis is encountered, push it onto the stack.
If a closing parenthesis is encountered, check if it matches the top of the stack. If it does, pop the stack, else the string is not balanced.
At the end, if the stack is e...
ACID properties in DBMS ensure data integrity and consistency in transactions.
Atomicity: All operations in a transaction are completed successfully or none at all.
Consistency: Data is always in a valid state before and after a transaction.
Isolation: Transactions are isolated from each other to prevent interference.
Durability: Once a transaction is committed, changes are permanent and survive system failures.
Example: If...
Levels of data abstraction in a DBMS refer to the different views of data provided to users and applications.
Physical level: Deals with how data is stored on the storage media. Example: data blocks, pages, indexes.
Logical level: Focuses on how data is represented to users. Example: tables, views, constraints.
View level: Provides a customized view of the database for specific users or applications. Example: queries, rep...

You are provided with an undirected graph containing 'N' vertices and 'M' edges. The vertices are numbered from 1 to 'N'. Your objective is to determi...
Detect if an undirected graph contains a cycle by exploring all possible paths.
Use Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm to traverse the graph and detect cycles.
Maintain a visited set to keep track of visited vertices and a parent pointer to avoid visiting the same vertex twice.
If a visited vertex is encountered that is not the parent of the current vertex, a cycle is present.
Consider edge cases like disconnected graphs a...
Given a matrix ARR
with dimensions N
* M
, consisting only of 0s and 1s where each row is sorted, determine the index of the row that contains the highest number of 1s. If multi...

Keep track of the row index with the maximum number of 1s
Return the index of the row with the highest count of 1s
By lighting both wires at the same time, the shorter wire will burn out first, allowing you to measure a specific duration of time.
Light both wires at the same time
Measure the time it takes for the shorter wire to burn out completely
The remaining length of the longer wire will indicate the specific duration of time

Inheritance is a fundamental OOP concept allowing a class to inherit properties and methods from another class.
Promotes code reusability by allowing new classes to use existing code.
Supports the creation of a hierarchical relationship between classes.
Example: A 'Dog' class can inherit from an 'Animal' class, gaining its properties like 'eat' and 'sleep'.
Facilitates polymorphism, enabling methods to be overridden in der...

Default case is executed when no other case matches the switch expression
It is optional and can be placed anywhere in the switch statement
It is often used to handle unexpected input or errors
It should always be the last case in the switch statement

The missing rupee is not actually missing. The calculation is misleading and does not account for the total amount paid.
The initial amount paid by each person was Rs.10, totaling Rs.30.
The owner gave them a discount of Rs.5, so they paid Rs.25 in total.
The broker took Rs.2, leaving them with Rs.23.
When the broker returned Rs.1 to each person, they each received Rs.1 back, totaling Rs.3.
So, the total amount paid by the ...
Inheritance in Java allows a class to inherit properties and methods from another class.
Inheritance is achieved using the 'extends' keyword.
The class that is being inherited from is called the superclass or parent class.
The class that inherits from the superclass is called the subclass or child class.
Subclasses can access the public and protected members of the superclass.
Inheritance promotes code reusability and allow...

If not, the number is not a palindrome.
Normalisation is the process of organizing data in a database to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity.
It involves breaking down a table into smaller tables and defining relationships between them.
Normalization helps to eliminate data inconsistencies and anomalies.
