The Page Object Model is a design pattern for creating object-oriented representations of web pages in automated testing.
Encapsulates page elements and actions in a class, promoting reusability.
Each page of the application has a corresponding Page Object class.
Example: A LoginPage class with methods like enterUsername() and clickLogin().
Improves maintainability by separating test logic from page structure.

To print a string in reverse, we can use various methods like loops, recursion, or built-in functions in programming languages.
Using a loop: Iterate through the string from the end to the beginning.
Example: For 'hello', loop from index 4 to 0 to get 'olleh'.
Using recursion: Define a function that calls itself with a substring.
Example: reverse('hello') returns 'o' + reverse('hell') until base case.
Using built-in fu...
Hashmaps are data structures that store key-value pairs for efficient data retrieval and manipulation.
Hashmaps use a hash function to compute an index into an array of buckets or slots, from which the desired value can be found.
They provide average-case O(1) time complexity for lookups, insertions, and deletions, making them very efficient.
Example: In a hashmap, if you store a user's ID as the key and their profil...
Microservices communicate through lightweight protocols like HTTP, messaging queues, and RPC.
HTTP: RESTful APIs are commonly used for communication between microservices.
Messaging queues: Services can communicate asynchronously through message brokers like RabbitMQ or Kafka.
RPC (Remote Procedure Call): Services can make direct calls to each other using protocols like gRPC.
HashMap is a data structure that stores key-value pairs and uses hashing to quickly retrieve values based on keys.
HashMap internally uses an array of linked lists to store key-value pairs.
When a key-value pair is added, the key is hashed to determine the index in the array where it will be stored.
If multiple keys hash to the same index, a linked list is used to handle collisions.
To retrieve a value, the key is has...

Polymorphism is the ability of a function or method to behave differently based on the object it is acting upon.
Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.
It enables a single interface to be used for different data types or classes.
Examples include method overloading and method overriding in object-oriented programming.
Method overriding is a feature in object-oriented programming where a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by its parent class.
Occurs in inheritance when a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by its parent class
The method in the subclass must have the same name, return type, and parameters as the method in the parent class
Allows fo...
An interceptor is a design pattern commonly used in software development to capture and manipulate incoming and outgoing requests.
Interceptors can be used for logging, authentication, authorization, error handling, and more
In Angular, interceptors can be used to modify HTTP requests before they are sent to the server
In Spring framework, interceptors can be used to intercept client requests and server responses
A filter in Spring is a component that intercepts incoming requests and outgoing responses, allowing for pre-processing and post-processing.
Filters are used for tasks such as logging, authentication, authorization, and more
Filters can be configured in the Spring application context
Examples of filters in Spring include CharacterEncodingFilter, HiddenHttpMethodFilter, and CorsFilter

They are represented by the | symbol in Unix commands
Pipes allow for communication between processes without the need for temporary files
Example: ls | grep 'file'
Example: cat file.txt | grep 'keyword' | wc -l

To find the coordinates of an item in a file, we can use various methods depending on the file type and structure.
1. Read the file line by line to locate the item.
2. Use a search algorithm (e.g., binary search for sorted files).
3. Maintain a mapping of item positions if the file is large.
4. Example: For a CSV file, use a library to parse and find the index.
