Important Sorting Algorithms-

Bubble Sort: Bubble Sort is the most basic sorting algorithm, and it works by repeatedly swapping adjacent elements if they are out of order.

Merge Sort: Merge sort is a sorting technique that uses the divide and conquer strategy.

Quicksort: Quicksort is a popular sorting algorithm that performs n log n comparisons on average when sorting an array of n elements. It is a more efficient and faster sorting algorithm.

Heap Sort: Heap sort works by visualizing the array elements as a special type of complete binary tree known as a heap.
๐Ÿ‘2
Important Searching Algorithms-

Binary Search: Binary search employs the divide and conquer strategy, in which a sorted list is divided into two halves and the item is compared to the listโ€™s middle element. If a match is found, the middle elementโ€™s location is returned.

Breadth-First Search(BFS): Breadth-first search is a graph traversal algorithm that begins at the root node and explores all neighboring nodes.

Depth-First Search(DFS): The depth-first search (DFS) algorithm begins with the first node of the graph and proceeds to go deeper and deeper until we find the goal node or node with no children.
๐Ÿ‘1
Recursion is a problem-solving technique in which the solution is dependent on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. Computing factorials is a classic example of recursive programming.

Every recursive program follows the same basic sequence of steps:

Set up the algorithm. Recursive programs frequently require a seed value, to begin with. This is accomplished by either using a parameter passed to the function or by providing a non-recursive gateway function that sets up the seed values for the recursive calculation.

Check to see if the current value(s) being processed correspond to the base case. If so, process the value and return it.

Rephrase the solution in terms of a smaller or simpler sub-problem or sub-problems.

Apply the algorithm to the sub-problem.

In order to formulate an answer, combine the results.

Return the results.
๐Ÿ‘2
The Divide and Conquer algorithm consists of a dispute using the three steps listed below.

Divide the original problem into sub-problems.

Conquer: Solve each sub-problem one at a time, recursively.

Combine: Put the solutions to the sub-problems together to get the solution to the whole problem.
๐Ÿ‘3
Hashing is a technique or process that uses a hash function to map keys and values into a hash table. It is done to allow for quicker access to elements. The efficiency of mapping is determined by the hash functionโ€™s efficiency.

Java interview questions along with brief answers

1. What is the difference between == and .equals() in Java?
- == compares object references, while .equals() compares the content of objects.

2. Explain the difference between ArrayList and LinkedList.
- ArrayList uses a dynamic array to store elements, providing fast random access. LinkedList uses a doubly-linked list, offering efficient insertion and deletion.

3. What is the significance of the static keyword in Java?
- The static keyword is used to create variables and methods that belong to the class rather than instances of the class. These can be accessed without creating an object.

4. What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface?
- An abstract class can have both abstract (unimplemented) and concrete (implemented) methods, while an interface can only have abstract methods. A class can implement multiple interfaces, but it can extend only one abstract class.

5. What is the purpose of the finally block in exception handling?
- The finally block is used to ensure that a specific block of code is always executed, regardless of whether an exception is thrown or not.

6. Explain the concept of multithreading in Java.
- Multithreading is the concurrent execution of two or more threads. Threads allow programs to run tasks in parallel, improving performance. In Java, you can create threads by extending the Thread class or implementing the Runnable interface.

7. What is the NullPointerException and how can it be avoided?
- NullPointerException occurs when you try to access a method or field of an object that is null. To avoid it, ensure that objects are properly initialized before accessing their members.

8. How does garbage collection work in Java?
- Garbage collection is the process of automatically reclaiming memory occupied by unreferenced objects. Java uses a garbage collector to identify and delete objects that are no longer reachable.

9. Explain the final keyword in Java.
- The final keyword can be applied to variables, methods, and classes. When applied to a variable, it means the variable's value cannot be changed. When applied to a method, it prevents method overriding. When applied to a class, it prevents the class from being subclassed.

10. What is the Java Virtual Machine (JVM)?
- JVM is a virtual machine that executes Java bytecode. It abstracts the hardware and operating system details, allowing Java programs to run on any device with a compatible JVM.

These questions cover a range of Java concepts commonly discussed in interviews. Be prepared to elaborate on your answers and provide examples if requested during an interview.

Business Analyst Interview Questions and Answers
๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

1. What is analysis in tableau?

Ans: Tableau comes with inbuilt features to analyze the data plotted on a chart. We have various tools such as adding an average line to the chart which tableau calculates itself after we drop the tool on the chart. Some other features include clustering, percentages, forming bands of a particular range and various other tools to explore and inspect data. All these tools are available in analyze tab on each sheet used to create any chart. The features become visible only when they are applicable to the worksheet.


2.How to create sets in tableau?

Ans: Sets are custom fields used to compare and ask questions about a subset of data. For creating a set on dimension, right-click on a dimension in data pane and select create -> set. In general tab select the fields that will be considered for computing the set. Specify the conditions to create set in conditions tab and you also have the option to select top N members in dataset based on any field in the top tab. When a set is created it divides the measure into two parts namely in and out of the set based on the conditions applied by the user.


3.Why and how would you use a custom visual file?

A custom visual file is used when none of the pre existing visuals fit the business needs. Custom visual files are generally created by Developers which can be used in the same way as prepackaged files.


4. What are the various type of users who can use Power BI?

Ans: PowerBI can be used by anyone for their requirements but there is a particular group of users who are more likely to use it:

Report Consumers: They consume the reports based on a specific information they need

Report Analyst: Report Analysts need detailed data for their analysis from the reports

Self Service Data Analyst: They are more experienced business data users. They have an in-depth understanding of the data to work with.

Basic Data Analyst: They can build their own datasets and are experienced in PowerBI Service

Advanced Data Analyst: They know how to write SQL Queries and have hands-on experience on PowerBI. They have experience in Advanced PowerBI with DAX training and data modelling.

Breaking into tech without prior experience can feel impossibleโ€”especially when every posting demands what you donโ€™t have: experience.
But hereโ€™s the truth: Skills > Experience (especially for interns).

Letโ€™s break it down into a proven 6-step roadmap that actually works๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿญ: Build Core Skills (No CS Degree Needed!)
Start with the fundamentals:
โœ… Choose one language: Python / JavaScript / C++
โœ… Learn DSA basics: Arrays, Strings, Recursion, Hashmaps
โœ… Explore either Web Dev (HTML, CSS, JS) or Backend (Node.js, Flask)
โœ… Understand SQL + Git/GitHub for version control

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฎ: Build Mini Projects (Your Real Resume!)
Internships look for what you can do, not just what youโ€™ve learned. Build:
โœ… A Portfolio Website (HTML, CSS, JS)
โœ… A To-Do App (React + Firebase)
โœ… A REST API (Node.js + MongoDB)

๐Ÿ‘‰ One solid project > Dozens of certificates.
๐Ÿ“ Showcase it on GitHub and LinkedIn.

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฏ: Contribute to Open Source (Get Real-World Exposure)
You donโ€™t need a job to gain experience. Try:
โœ… Beginner-friendly GitHub repos
โœ… Fixing bugs, improving documentation
โœ… Participating in Hacktoberfest, GirlScript, MLH

This builds confidence and credibility.

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฐ: Optimize Resume & LinkedIn (Your Digital First Impression)
โŒ No generic lines like โ€œIโ€™m passionate about codingโ€
โœ… Highlight projects, GitHub links, and tech stack
โœ… Use keywords like โ€œSoftware Engineering Intern | JavaScript | SQLโ€
โœ… Keep it conciseโ€”1 page is enough

๐Ÿ“Œ Stay active on GitHub + LinkedIn. Recruiters notice!

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฑ: Apply Smart, Not Hard
Donโ€™t just mass-apply. Be strategic:
โœ… Check internship portals (Internshala, LinkedIn, AngelList)
โœ… Explore company careers pages (TCS, Infosys, Amazon, startups)
โœ… Reach out via referralsโ€”network with seniors, alumni, or connections

๐Ÿ’ฌ Try:
"Hi [Name], I admire your work at [Company]. Iโ€™ve been building skills in [Tech] and am seeking an internship. Are there any roles I could apply for?"

Networking opens doors applications canโ€™t.

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฒ:Ace the Interview (Preparation Beats Perfection)
โœ… Know your resume inside-out
โœ… Review basics of DSA, OOP, DBMS, OS
โœ… Practice your introโ€”highlight projects + relevant skills
โœ… Do mock interviews with peers or platforms like InterviewBit, Pramp

And if youโ€™re rejected? Donโ€™t stress. Ask for feedback and keep building.

๐ŸŽฏ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ = ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต
No one starts perfect. Consistency beats credentials.
Start small, stay curious, and show up every day.

Commonly asked System Design CONCEPT BASED interview topics -

1. Horizontal vs Vertical Partitioning:
Vertical partitioning splits tables by columns, often separating different features. Horizontal partitioning splits tables by rows, distributing data across multiple servers. Vertical organizes data logically, while horizontal improves scalability + performance.

2. Apache Kafka:
Kafka is a distributed streaming platform using a publish-subscribe model. It's fast due to the sequential disk I/O, zero-copy principle, and efficient batching of messages.

3. Rate Limiter:
A rate limiter controls the rate of requests a client can make to a service. It prevents overload and ensures fair resource usage.

4. JWT vs OAuth vs SAML:
JWT is a compact, self-contained token for secure information transmission. OAuth is an authorization framework for delegated access. SAML is an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data.

5. Single Sign-On (SSO):
SSO allows users to access multiple applications with one set of credentials. It typically uses a central authentication server and protocols like SAML/OAuth.

6. Microservices vs Monolithic Architecture:
Microservices architecture breaks an application into small, independent services. Monolithic architecture is a single, tightly-coupled unit. Microservices offer scalability while monoliths are simpler to develop + deploy.

7. Reverse Proxy vs Forward Proxy:
A reverse proxy sits in front of web servers, forwarding client requests to backend servers. A forward proxy sits in front of clients, forwarding their requests to the internet. Reverse proxies are used for load balancing and security, while forward proxies are used for anonymity and filtering.

8. CAP Theorem:
The CAP theorem states that a distributed system can only provide two of three guarantees: Consistency, Availability, and Partition tolerance. In practice, partition tolerance is necessary, so systems must choose between consistency and availability during network partitions.

10. Efficient Caching Strategy:
Implement multi-level caching (browser, CDN, application server, database). Use appropriate cache invalidation strategies (TTL, event-based). Consider cache coherence for distributed systems.

Type of problem, while solving DSA problem in Array

โ—
There are many types of problems that can be solved using arrays and different techniques in Data Structures and Algorithms. Here are some common problem types and techniques that you might encounter:

๐Ÿ. ๐’๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you are given an array and a window size, and you have to find a subarray of that size that satisfies certain conditions. You can use a sliding window technique to efficiently search through the array by maintaining a current window of fixed size and updating it as you move forward.

๐Ÿ. ๐“๐ฐ๐จ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you use two pointers to traverse the array from both ends and find a certain pattern or condition. For example, you can use two pointers to find a pair of elements that sum up to a target value, or to reverse an array.

๐Ÿ‘. ๐’๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you are asked to sort an array in a certain way, such as in ascending or descending order, or according to certain criteria such as frequency or value. You can use sorting algorithms such as merge sort or quick sort to efficiently sort the array.


๐Ÿ’. ๐’๐ž๐š๐ซ๐œ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you are asked to find a specific element in the array or to search for a certain pattern. You can use searching algorithms such as binary search or linear search to efficiently search through the array.

๐Ÿ“. ๐’๐ฎ๐›๐š๐ซ๐ซ๐š๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you are asked to find a contiguous subarray that satisfies certain conditions. You can use techniques such as prefix sum or Kadane's algorithm to efficiently find the subarray with the maximum sum.


๐Ÿ”. ๐‚๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you are asked to count the occurrences of certain elements or to count the number of subarrays or subsequences that satisfy certain conditions. You can use techniques such as hashing or dynamic programming to efficiently count the occurrences or number of subarrays.
