Understanding string pool in Java helps manage memory efficiently and optimize string operations.
String literals are stored in the string pool, which is a special memory area.
When a string is created using a literal, it checks the pool first to see if it exists.
Example: String s1 = "Hello"; String s2 = "Hello"; // s1 and s2 point to the same object in the pool.
Using 'new' keyword creates a new string object in hea...
This code snippet counts the frequency of each character in a string using a hash map (dictionary in Python).
Use a hash map (dictionary) to store character counts.
Iterate through each character in the string.
For each character, increment its count in the hash map.
Example: For the string 'hello', the output will be {'h': 1, 'e': 1, 'l': 2, 'o': 1}.
Detects if a linked list has a cycle using Floyd's Tortoise and Hare algorithm.
Use two pointers: slow and fast. Slow moves one step, fast moves two steps.
If there's a loop, slow and fast will eventually meet.
If fast reaches the end (null), the list has no loop.
Example: For a list 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 2 (cycle), slow and fast meet at 2.
Exception handling is crucial for managing errors in software applications, ensuring stability and user experience.
Use try-catch blocks to handle exceptions gracefully. Example: try { riskyCode(); } catch (Exception e) { handleError(e); }
Always log exceptions for debugging purposes. Example: logger.error('Error occurred', e);
Avoid using generic exceptions; catch specific exceptions to handle different error types ...

Hash map is a data structure that stores key-value pairs and allows for efficient retrieval of values based on keys.
Hash map uses a hash function to map keys to indices in an array.
Collision handling is important in hash maps to deal with multiple keys hashing to the same index.
Common operations on hash maps include insertion, deletion, and lookup.
Example: HashMap<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>()...

Object-oriented programming is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects, which can contain data and code.
Encapsulation: bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit
Inheritance: creating new classes based on existing classes
Polymorphism: the ability for objects to be treated as instances of their parent class
Return the kth element from the end of a linked list
Traverse the linked list to find the length of the list
Calculate the position of the kth element from the beginning
Traverse the list again to find the kth element from the end
Hoisting is a JavaScript mechanism where variables and function declarations are moved to the top of their containing scope during compilation.
Hoisting applies to variable declarations (using var) and function declarations.
Example: console.log(x); var x = 5; // Outputs 'undefined' due to hoisting.
Function declarations are fully hoisted: greet(); function greet() { console.log('Hello'); } // Works fine.
Let and cons...

- Q5. Spring boot vs spring and microservice adv/ challenges
- Ans.
Spring Boot simplifies Spring application development, while microservices enhance scalability and maintainability.
Spring Boot offers auto-configuration, reducing boilerplate code. Example: Setting up a REST API with minimal configuration.
Microservices architecture allows independent deployment of services, enhancing scalability. Example: A user service and an order service can be deployed separately.
Spring provides a ...
- Q6. Mapping in hibernate and entity class annotations. Transient use
- Ans.
Hibernate mapping uses annotations to define entity relationships and transient fields that should not be persisted in the database.
@Entity: Marks a class as a Hibernate entity, representing a table in the database.
@Table: Specifies the table name if it differs from the entity name, e.g., @Table(name = "users").
@Id: Defines the primary key of the entity, e.g., @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) for...
