A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.
Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage in electrical circuits.
They consist of two coils of wire, known as the primary and secondary coils.
The primary coil is connected to a power source, while the secondary coil is connected to the load.
The changing magnetic field in the prim...
ACID properties ensure database transactions are processed reliably.
Atomicity: All operations in a transaction are completed successfully or none at all.
Consistency: Database remains in a consistent state before and after a transaction.
Isolation: Transactions are isolated from each other until they are completed.
Durability: Once a transaction is committed, changes are permanent and cannot be lost.
Example: If a ban...
High level system design involves creating an overall architecture for a software system.
Identify the main components of the system
Define the interactions between components
Consider scalability, performance, and security
Use diagrams like UML to visualize the design
Method overloading is having multiple methods in the same class with the same name but different parameters, while method overriding is redefining a method in a subclass with the same name and parameters as in the superclass.
Method overloading allows a class to have multiple methods with the same name but different parameters.
Method overriding involves redefining a method in a subclass that has the same name and p...
What people are saying about IBM
Waterfall model is a linear sequential approach to software development.
It follows a sequential flow from requirements gathering to testing and maintenance.
Each phase must be completed before moving on to the next.
Changes are difficult to implement once a phase is completed.
Suitable for projects with well-defined requirements and stable technology.
Examples include building a bridge or a physical product.
C# concepts including abstraction, interface, abstract method, abstract class, polymorphism, encapsulation, inheritance, and serialization.
Abstraction: hiding implementation details
Interface: defining a contract for behavior
Abstract method: method without implementation
Abstract class: class with one or more abstract methods
Polymorphism: ability of objects to take on multiple forms
Encapsulation: bundling data and b...
Altering columns in databases involves modifying the structure of a table by adding, deleting or modifying columns.
Use ALTER TABLE statement to modify columns
Add new columns using ADD COLUMN
Delete columns using DROP COLUMN
Modify columns using MODIFY COLUMN
Changing column data type may result in data loss
There are various types of jobs based on industry, function, and skillset.
Jobs can be categorized into industries such as healthcare, technology, finance, etc.
They can also be classified based on functions like software development, marketing, sales, etc.
Different skillsets like programming, design, management, etc., lead to different job types.
Examples: Software Developer, Marketing Manager, Nurse, Financial Anal...
You are given an array/list CHOCOLATES
of size 'N', where each element represents the number of chocolates in a packet. Your task is to distribute these chocolates among 'M' ...
Distribute chocolates among students to minimize the difference between the largest and smallest number of chocolates.
Sort the array of chocolates.
Use sliding window technique to find the minimum difference between the chocolates distributed to students.
Return the minimum difference as the output.
Matching orientations based on suggested rotation degrees.
Calculate the difference between the current orientation and the suggested rotation degrees.
Apply the necessary rotation to match the orientations.
Consider the direction of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise).
