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.

Master the fundamentals of programmingโ€”they are the backbone of every great software youโ€™ll ever build.

-> Variables store your data. Know what youโ€™re holding and whyโ€”itโ€™s the first step to clean, readable logic.

-> Conditions & Loops shape the behavior of your code. They allow your programs to make decisions and repeat tasksโ€”smartly and efficiently.

-> Functions are your codeโ€™s superpower. Reuse logic, stay DRY (Donโ€™t Repeat Yourself), and build clean, modular systems.'

-> Debugging isnโ€™t a choreโ€”itโ€™s a chance to become a better thinker. Every bug fixed is a lesson learned.

In a world full of users, become a creator. Code to solve, not just to build.

Learn, write, break, fixโ€”and grow.

Always follow best practices:

- Meaningful variable names

- Writing readable, maintainable code

- Testing early and often

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.
