- Q1. Detail questions on copy constructors were asked
- Q2. Deep copy, shallow copy (need for explicitly writing copy constructor)
- Ans.
Deep copy creates a new object with its own copies of the original's data, while shallow copy shares references to the original's data.
Shallow Copy: Copies the reference of an object, not the actual object. Example: `List<int> shallow = original;`
Deep Copy: Creates a new object and recursively copies all objects found in the original. Example: `List<int> deep = new List<int>(original);`

- Q3. Operating system concepts such as memory Management and semaphores, critical section
- Q4. Overloading, Overriding(Function and operator both)
- Q5. Virtual Functions
- Q6. Resume based interview
- Q7. Some more discussions on virtual classes and functions, overloading, overriding, copy constructors
- Q8. Puzzles such as no of 0s in 100!, and water- jug problem
- Q9. Merge two double linked list. What will be the difference if they are singly linked list
- Ans.
To merge two double linked lists, traverse to the end of the first list and connect it to the head of the second list.
Traverse to the end of the first list
Connect the last node of the first list to the head of the second list
If the lists are singly linked, we need to traverse to the end of the first list and connect it to the head of the second list. But we also need to keep track of the last node of the first list to ...
- Q10. Make a data structure such that it can store an image dynamically
- Ans.
A dynamic data structure for storing images as arrays of strings.
Use a 2D array of strings to represent the image pixels.
Implement resizing methods to adjust the size of the image.
Include methods for adding, removing, and modifying pixels.
Consider using compression techniques to reduce memory usage.
Support various image formats such as JPEG, PNG, and BMP.
- Q11. Copy fixed no of bytes from source to destination and its test cases( ex: copy(source, destination,bytes) so now command copy(a,a+3,8) will not give correct results in some cases and copy(a,a-4,8) will n...
- Ans.
Copying fixed number of bytes from source to destination and its test cases.
Ensure source and destination are not overlapping
Check if the number of bytes to be copied is greater than the available space in the destination
Handle cases where source or destination is NULL
Test cases should cover all possible scenarios including edge cases
- Q12. Some puzzles like weighing problem..N Balls given all of same weight except one..What is the max value of N so that u can figure out the ball with less weight in 2 rounds or 3 rounds
- Q13. Some HR questions about family and yourself
- Q14. Detail discussion on virtual functions
- Q15. Optimized fibonacci program
- Ans.
An optimized Fibonacci program computes Fibonacci numbers efficiently.
Use memoization to store previously computed values.
Use iterative approach instead of recursive approach.
Use bitwise operators to perform arithmetic operations faster.
Use matrix exponentiation to compute Fibonacci numbers in logarithmic time.
- Q16. Solution for solving problems generated by virtual functions
- Ans.
Virtual functions can cause problems due to their dynamic nature, but can be solved using various techniques.
Use pure virtual functions to ensure all derived classes implement the function
Use interface classes to define a common interface for all derived classes
Use smart pointers to manage memory and avoid memory leaks
Use virtual destructors to ensure proper destruction of objects
Avoid excessive use of virtual function...

- Q1. TELL ABOUT TREE TRAVERSALS
- Ans.
Tree traversals are methods used to visit each node in a tree data structure in a specific order.
Inorder traversal: Visit left subtree, then root, then right subtree
Preorder traversal: Visit root, then left subtree, then right subtree
Postorder traversal: Visit left subtree, then right subtree, then root

- Q1. Leetcode- Climb stairs (medium)
- Ans.
Climb stairs problem involves finding the number of ways to reach the top of a staircase with 1 or 2 steps at a time.
Dynamic Programming approach can be used to solve this problem efficiently.
Base cases: If there are 0 stairs, there's 1 way (do nothing). If 1 stair, there's also 1 way (1 step).
For n stairs, the number of ways to reach the top is the sum of ways to reach (n-1) and (n-2) stairs.
Example: For 3 stairs, way...
- Q2. Reverse linkedlist
- Ans.
Reversing a linked list involves changing the direction of the pointers between nodes.
Iterative approach: Use three pointers (prev, current, next) to reverse links.
Example: For list 1 -> 2 -> 3, after reversal it becomes 3 -> 2 -> 1.
Recursive approach: Reverse the rest of the list and adjust pointers.
Example: Base case is when the list is empty or has one node.

- Q1. Leetcode- Rotten oranges matrix
- Ans.
Rotten oranges problem involves finding the time to rot all oranges in a grid.
Use BFS to spread the rot from initially rotten oranges.
Track the number of minutes taken to rot all oranges.
If any fresh oranges remain after BFS, return -1.
Example: In a 3x3 grid, rotten oranges at (0,0) can rot (0,1) in 1 minute.
It consisted of both technical programming and theoretical concepts. C++ and SQL
(2 Questions)
- Q1. Consisted of scenario based questions from technical domain.
- Q2. Differentiate all sorting algorithms
- Ans.
Sorting algorithms differ in their approach to sorting elements in an array.
Bubble Sort - compares adjacent elements and swaps them if they are in the wrong order
Merge Sort - divides the array into two halves, sorts them, and then merges them
Quick Sort - picks a pivot element and partitions the array around the pivot
Selection Sort - repeatedly selects the minimum element and swaps it with the current element
Insertion S...
