Q1. Given an array of strings, print all the possible combinations of strings created by picking one character from each string of the array. The individual strings do not contain any duplicates. Ex: {ABC, DE...read more
Ans. 
Print all possible combinations of strings by picking one character from each string in the array.
• Iterate through each character of the first string and combine it with each character of the second string.

• Repeat the process for all strings in the array to get all possible combinations.

• Use nested loops to generate combinations efficiently.

Q2. Given an array of size n, print the indices , i which have an equilibrium point around them defined as sum of i-p to i-1 elements = sum of i to t+p-1 elements (equal sum on left side and right side of the ...read more
Ans. 
Find indices in an array where the sum of elements around them is equal.
• Equilibrium point is defined as sum of elements before index i equals sum of elements from index i to t+p-1.

• Example: For P=2 and Array={1,-1,3,-3,10,-10,17}, indices 2, 4, and 5 are equilibrium points.

• At index 2: Left sum (1 + -1) = 0, Right sum (3) = 3; not an equilibrium.

• At index 4: Left sum (1 + -1 + 3 + -3) = 0, Right sum (10 + -10) = 0; equili...read more

Q1. Check if given string has Balanced Parentheses.
Ans. 
Check if a string has balanced parentheses.
• Use a stack to keep track of opening parentheses.

• Iterate through the string and push opening parentheses onto the stack.

• When a closing parenthesis is encountered, pop from the stack and check if it matches the closing parenthesis.

• If stack is empty at the end and all parentheses are matched, the string has balanced parentheses.

Q2. Modified Balanced Parentheses where a character can be matched with any other character, i.e. / with &, ! with ? and so on.
Ans. 
Modified Balanced Parentheses where characters can be matched with any other character.
• Use a stack to keep track of opening characters

• When encountering a closing character, check if it matches the top of the stack

• If it matches, pop from the stack, else return false

• Continue until end of string, return true if stack is empty

Q3. Very similar to print the spiral order traversal of a matrix
Ans. 
Traverse a matrix in spiral order, collecting elements layer by layer.
• Start from the top-left corner and move right until the end of the row.

• Then, move down the last column.

• Next, move left across the bottom row.

• Finally, move up the first column.

• Repeat the process for the inner layers until all elements are traversed.

• Example: For a matrix [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]], the spiral order is [1,2,3,6,9,8,7,4,5].

Q1. Given a date in string format, write a java program to return the date n days after the given date. Solve the question without using DateTimeFormatter or any similar Date parsing libraries.
Ans. 
Java program to calculate date n days after given date without using Date parsing libraries.
• Parse the input date string to extract day, month, and year components.

• Calculate the total number of days represented by the input date.

• Add the specified number of days to the total days calculated.

• Convert the final total days back to day, month, and year components to get the new date.

Q3. Print all combinations of numbers in an array which sum up to a number k. Ex : Arr={3,1,4,5} k=5 Ans : {{1,4},{5}}
Ans. 
Use backtracking to find all combinations of numbers in an array that sum up to a given number.
• Start by sorting the array in non-decreasing order to easily identify combinations.

• Use backtracking to recursively find all combinations that sum up to the target number.

• Keep track of the current combination and the remaining sum as you traverse the array.

• Add the current combination to the result when the sum equals the targe...read more

Q1. Two sum problem in c sharp
Ans. 
The Two Sum problem involves finding two numbers in an array that add up to a specific target sum.
• Use a hash map to store the difference between the target and each element as you iterate through the array.

• Example: For array [2, 7, 11, 15] and target 9, store 7 in the map when you encounter 2.

• When you find 7 later in the array, you can retrieve 2 from the map, confirming they sum to 9.

• Time complexity is O(n) due to a s...read more

Q2. What is inheritance in oops
Ans. 
Inheritance in OOP allows a class to inherit properties and behaviors from another class.
• Inheritance promotes code reusability by allowing a new class to use the properties and methods of an existing class.

• The class that is being inherited from is called the base class or parent class, while the class that inherits is called the derived class or child class.

• Derived classes can add new properties and methods, or overrid...read more

Q1. Singleton Pattern in details
Ans. 
Singleton pattern ensures a class has only one instance and provides a global point of access to it.
• Ensures a class has only one instance by providing a global access point to it.

• Uses a private constructor to restrict instantiation of the class.

• Provides a static method to access the singleton instance.

• Commonly used in scenarios where only one instance of a class is needed, such as database connections or logging.

Q3. Product of an array except self
Ans. 
Calculate the product of all elements in an array except for the element itself.
• Iterate through the array and calculate the product of all elements except the current element.

• Use two separate arrays to store the product of elements to the left and right of the current element.

• Multiply the corresponding elements from the left and right arrays to get the final result.

Q1. String a = "Something" String b = new String("Something") How many object created?
Ans. 
Two objects created - one in the string pool and one in the heap.
• String 'a' is created in the string pool, while String 'b' is created in the heap.

• String pool is a special area in the heap memory where strings are stored to increase reusability and save memory.

• Using 'new' keyword always creates a new object in the heap, even if the content is the same as an existing string in the pool.

Q2. Predict Output based on whether static variables can be accessed from non-static method
Ans. 
Static variables can be accessed from non-static methods using an object reference or by making the variable non-static.
• Static variables can be accessed from non-static methods by creating an object of the class containing the static variable.

• Alternatively, the static variable can be made non-static to be accessed directly from a non-static method.

• Attempting to access a static variable directly from a non-static method...read more

Q8. String a = "Something" a.concat(" New") What will be garbage collected?
Ans. 
Only the original string 'Something' will be garbage collected.
• The concat method in Java does not modify the original string, but instead returns a new string with the concatenated value.

• In this case, 'a' remains as 'Something' and a new string 'Something New' is created, but not assigned to any variable.

• Since the new string is not stored in any variable, it will not be garbage collected.
