Padding bytes are added between data members to ensure alignment
Packing a structure removes padding to save memory but may impact performance
Example: struct example { char a; int b; } - sizeof(struct exam...

Customer satisfaction
Quality can be measured through various metrics such as defect rates, customer satisfaction, and adherence to standards.
Defect rates: Monitoring the number of defects found in products can indicate the level of quality control.
Customer satisfaction: Surveys and feedback from customers can provide insights into the quality of products and services.
Adherence to standards: Ensuring that products meet industry standar...
Find all permutation pairs of given numbers.
Use recursion to generate all possible permutations of the numbers.
For each permutation, create a pair of strings with the two numbers swapped.
Store the pairs in an array of strings.
To create the base of a pyramid using C++, you can use nested loops to print the required number of spaces and asterisks.
Use nested loops to print spaces before printing the asterisks
Increment the number of asterisks printed in each row
Example: for a pyramid with 5 rows, the base would have 9 asterisks in the center row

Braking system design must consider weight and speed to ensure safe and efficient stopping.
Consider the weight of the vehicle to determine the required braking force.
Factor in the speed of the vehicle to calculate the stopping distance.
Choose appropriate brake components such as pads, rotors, and calipers based on the weight and speed requirements.
Ensure proper maintenance and testing of the braking system to guarantee...
Sigma levels are used to measure the performance of a process and identify areas for improvement.
Sigma levels range from 1 to 6, with higher levels indicating better performance and fewer defects.
Each sigma level corresponds to a defect rate per million opportunities (DPMO).
Organizations aim to achieve higher sigma levels to improve quality and reduce costs.
Examples of sigma levels include Six Sigma, which aims for 3.4...

I appeared for an interview in Mar 2025, where I was asked the following questions.
OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) is a programming paradigm based on objects and classes to structure software design.
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data within one unit (e.g., a class).
Inheritance: Mechanism to create a new class using properties and methods of an existing class (e.g., a 'Dog' class inheriting from an 'Animal' class).
Polymorphism: Ability to present the same interface for...
Arrays are fixed-size, contiguous memory structures; linked lists are dynamic, node-based structures allowing flexible size.
Arrays have a fixed size, e.g., `String[] fruits = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"};`.
Linked lists can grow and shrink dynamically, e.g., a list of nodes where each node points to the next.
Accessing elements in an array is O(1), while in a linked list it's O(n) due to traversal.
Arrays use contiguous ...
Multi-threading is a programming technique that allows concurrent execution of multiple threads within a single process.
Improves application performance by utilizing CPU resources more efficiently.
Allows multiple tasks to run simultaneously, such as downloading files while processing data.
Threads share the same memory space, making communication between them faster than separate processes.
Commonly used in web servers t...
Inserting an element in a SQL table involves using the INSERT INTO statement to add new records.
Use the INSERT INTO statement to specify the table name.
Provide the column names in parentheses after the table name.
Use the VALUES keyword followed by the values to be inserted in parentheses.
Example: INSERT INTO Employees (Name, Age) VALUES ('John Doe', 30);
You can insert multiple rows by separating values with commas: INS...
Easy to answer ,asked mostly on sql and other ml topics
SQL is a relational database management system, while NoSQL is a non-relational database management system.
SQL databases are table-based and have a predefined schema, while NoSQL databases are document-based, key-value pairs, graph databases, or wide-column stores.
SQL databases are good for complex queries and transactions, while NoSQL databases are better for hierarchical data storage and real-time web applications.
Ex...
Regularization in machine learning is a technique used to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty term to the model's loss function.
Regularization helps in reducing the complexity of the model by penalizing large coefficients.
Common types of regularization include L1 (Lasso) and L2 (Ridge) regularization.
L1 regularization adds the absolute value of the coefficients to the loss function, promoting sparsity.
L2 regulariza...
