Hoisting is a JavaScript mechanism where variable and function declarations are moved to the top of their containing scope during compilation.
Variables declared with 'var' are hoisted, but their initialization is not. Example: console.log(a); var a = 5; // undefined
Function declarations are fully hoisted, allowing them to be called before their definition. Example: greet(); function greet() { console.log('Hello');...
let, const, and var are JavaScript keywords for variable declaration with different scopes and mutability.
var: Function-scoped or globally-scoped, can be redeclared and updated. Example: var x = 10; x = 20;
let: Block-scoped, can be updated but not redeclared in the same scope. Example: let y = 10; y = 20; // valid
const: Block-scoped, cannot be updated or redeclared. Must be initialized at declaration. Example: con...
OOP in C++ is based on concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction for better code organization.
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods in classes. Example: class Car { private: int speed; public: void setSpeed(int s) { speed = s; }};
Inheritance: Deriving new classes from existing ones. Example: class ElectricCar : public Car {}; // ElectricCar inherits from Car
Polymorphism: Ability to...
The graphics pipeline is a sequence of steps that transforms 3D models into 2D images on the screen.

2. Clipping: Removes parts of objects outside the viewable area to optimize rendering.
3. Rasterization: Converts vector graphics into pixels, determining which pixels are affected by the shapes.

Syntax Analysis: Checks tokens against grammar rules (e.g., parsing expressions).
Semantic Analysis: Ensures logical consistency (e.g., type checking).
Optimization: Improves code efficiency (e.g., removing dead code).
Code Generation: Converts optimiz...
Computer cache performance refers to the efficiency of the cache memory in storing and retrieving data for the CPU.
Cache performance is measured by hit rate, miss rate, and latency.
A higher hit rate indicates better performance as more data is found in the cache.
Cache misses result in slower performance as data needs to be retrieved from main memory.
Latency refers to the time it takes to access data in the cache.

I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Dec 2016. There were 3 interview rounds.
A domino logic circuit is a type of digital circuit that uses a chain of inverters to propagate a signal.
A domino logic circuit consists of a chain of inverters connected in series.
The output of each inverter is connected to the input of the next inverter.
The input signal is applied to the first inverter in the chain.
The output of the last inverter in the chain is the output of the circuit.
Domino logic circuits are fas...
Yes, voltage scaling can help speed up a circuit by increasing the voltage to improve signal propagation.
Increasing the voltage can reduce the resistance and capacitance effects, leading to faster signal propagation.
Voltage scaling can also increase the switching speed of transistors, improving overall circuit performance.
However, higher voltage levels may also increase power consumption and generate more heat, requiri...
Static timing analysis involves calculating timing constraints in circuits with flip-flops and latches to ensure correct operation.
Static timing analysis checks timing paths between flip-flops and latches.
Time borrowing allows a latch to hold data longer than its clock period.
Example: If FF1 outputs to a latch, and the latch has a delay, ensure FF1's setup time is met.
Consider clock skew and latch delay when calculatin...
Transistor level designs involve using transistors to create simple logic gates.
Transistors can be used to create logic gates such as AND, OR, and NOT gates.
In an AND gate, two transistors are connected in series.
In an OR gate, two transistors are connected in parallel.
In a NOT gate, a single transistor is used.
Logic gates can be combined to create more complex circuits.
