Filter interviews by
A filter is a function or process that selectively allows certain data to pass through while blocking others.
Filters are commonly used in programming to process collections, such as arrays or lists.
In JavaScript, the `filter()` method creates a new array with elements that pass a test: e.g., `array.filter(num => num > 10)`.
In data processing, filters can be used to clean datasets by removing outliers or irre...
Middleware is software that connects different applications or services, enabling them to communicate and manage data exchange.
Acts as a bridge between different software applications.
Facilitates communication and data management in distributed systems.
Examples include message brokers (e.g., RabbitMQ), API gateways, and database middleware.
Enhances scalability and flexibility by decoupling services.

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...
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

I applied via Recruitment Consulltant and was interviewed in Dec 2024. There was 1 interview round.
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 hashed a...

I appeared for an interview in Apr 2025, where I was asked the following questions.
str.equals compares the content of two strings, while == compares the memory address of the strings.
str.equals compares the actual content of two strings, while == compares the memory address of the strings.
str.equals is a method of the String class in Java, while == is an operator for comparison.
Example: String str1 = 'hello'; String str2 = 'hello'; str1.equals(str2) will return true, but str1 == str2 will return fals...

Handling of pipes involves managing the flow of data between processes in a Unix-based system.
Pipes are used to transfer the output of one command as input to another command
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.
