1) What is polymorphism?

Polymorphism is a concept by which we can perform a single action in different ways. Polymorphism is derived from two Greek words: poly and morphs. The word “poly” means many and “morphs” means forms. So polymorphism means many forms.

---

2) Explain the functionality of linked list.

A linked list consists of two parts. Information part and the link part. In the single linked list, first node of the list is marked by a unique pointer named as start and this pointer points to the first element of the list, and the link part of each node consists of a pointer pointing to the next node, but the last node of the list has null pointer identifying the last node. The linked list can be traversed easily with the help of Start pointer.

---

3) What is normalization of databases, joins, and keys?

Normalization is also known as the process of organizing data in a DBMS efficiently without any loss of data.

Advantages of the normalization process are as follows:

First is eliminating redundant data and ensuring data dependencies make sense. It reduces the amount of space that the database consumes and ensure that data is logically stored.

Join:

This clause is used in DBMS to combine rows from two or more tables, based on a related column between them.

Keys:

Keys are a crucial part of the relational database model. They are used to identify and establish relationships between tables. They are also used to uniquely determine each record or row of data in a table.

Key:

A Key can be a single attribute or a group of attributes acting as a key.

---

4) What is inheritance?

In, object-oriented programming, inheritance is a mechanism based on classes.

Inheritance refers to inheriting the data members and properties of a parent class to a child class. A class which is derived from another class is often called as a sub-class, and the class from which the child class is derived is known as super-class or parent class.

---

5) What are the different types of inheritance?

Types of Inheritance:

• Single inheritance
• Multiple Inheritance
• Multi-level Inheritance
• Multi-path Inheritance
• Hierarchical Inheritance
• Hybrid Inheritance

---

6) Demonstrate the process of inheriting variable of one class to other class?

---

7) What are the loops statements?

To execute a block of statement several times in a program depending upon the conditional statement loops are used.

The basic structure of a loop is given above in the diagram. For each successful execution of the loop, the conditional statement should be checked. If the conditional statement is true, then the loop will be executed. If the conditional statement is false, then the loop will be terminated.

---

8) Difference between classes and interface?

The difference between classes and interface are listed below:

• The instance of the class can be created by creating its object, whereas interfaces cannot be instantiated as all the methods in the interface are abstract and do not perform any action, There is no need for instantiating an interface.
• A class is declared using class keyword whereas an interface is declared using interface keyword.
• The members of the class can have access specifier such as public, protected, and private but members of the interface cannot have the access specifier, all the members of the interface is declared as public because the interface is used to derive another class. There will be no use of access specifies inside the members of an interface.
• The methods inside the class are defined to perform some actions on the fields declared in the class whereas interface lacks in declaring in fields, the methods in an interface are purely abstract.
• A class can implement any number of the interface but can only extend one superclass, whereas interface can extend any number of interfaces but cannot implement any interface.
• A class can have a constructor defined inside the class to declare the fields inside the class, whereas interface doesn’t have any constructor defined because there are no fields to be initialized.

---

9) What is software development life-cycle? Also, explain the waterfall model.

SDLC is a process followed for developing and enhancing software project. It consists of a detailed plan for developing, maintaining a specific software. The life cycle defines a methodology process for improving the quality of software and the overall development process.

In “The Waterfall” model, the whole process of software development is divided into separate phases. In this Waterfall model, typically, the outcome of one phase acts as the input for the next phase sequentially.

---

The four basic principles of Object-Oriented Programming System are listed below:

1. Abstraction
2. Inheritance
3. Encapsulation
4. Polymorphism.

---

11) What are the conditional statements?

The conditional statements can alternatively be called a conditional expression also. Conditional statements are the set of rules which were executed if a particular condition is true. It is often referred to an if-then statement because if the condition is true, then the statement is executed.

20) Difference between C & embedded C.

C Language

1. C is a type of the computer programming language. C was initially developed by Dennis Ritchie in AT&T Bell Labs between 1969 and 1973. It has a free-format program source code. C is a general-purpose programming language.
2. C is generally used for desktop computers
3. C can use the resources of a desktop PC like memory, OS, etc.
4. Compilers for C (ANSI C) typically generate OS dependent executables.

---

21) What is a pointer in C? What is its use?

The pointer is a particular variable which holds the address of another variable of the same type. Pointers can be of any data type and structure are allowed in C programming language. Pointer variable stores the address of another variable of the same data type as the value of the pointer variable.

Following are the uses of pointers:

• To point a variable in the memory.
• Pointers are used to traverse the linked list.
• To point out a structure.

---

22) Different between a session and a socket?

The Socket is the Combination of Ip address, and Port Number and the session is a Logical Connectivity between the source and destination.

---

23) What is a null pointer?

The null pointer is the pointer with no reference to any location of the memory.

A null pointer contains zero as its value which means pointer is empty and not pointing to anywhere in the memory. Null pointers can be used further in the program to initialize the address of the memory location with the same data type of the pointer.

Note: Pointers can only point to the variable having the same datatype. If the data type of pointer and datatype of pointing variable is different, then the pointer will not work.

---

24) What is a Real-Time OS?

26) Write a c program to swap two numbers without using a temporary variable.

---

27) Which functions are used for memory allocation in C/C++

The Function calloc() allocates a memory area, and the length will be the product of its parameters(it has two parameters). It fills the memory with ZERO’s and returns a pointer to the first byte of the memory. If it fails to locate enough space, Then it returns a NULL pointer.

The function malloc() allocates a memory area, and length will be the value entered as a parameter. (it has one parameter). It does not initialize memory area free() used to free the allocated memory(allocated through calloc and malloc), in other words, this used release the allocated memory new also used to allocate memory on the heap and initialize the memory using the constructor delete also used release memory allocated by new operator

---

28) Write output of the program?

---

29) What is a virtual function and what is the pure virtual function?

Virtual function:- In order to achieve polymorphism, function in base class is declared as virtual, By declare virtual we make the base class pointer to execute the function of any derived class depends on the content of pointer (any derived class address).

Pure Virtual Function:- This is a function used in base class, and its definition has to be provided in a derived class, In other pure virtual function has no definition in the base is defined as:

That means this function not going to do anything, In case of the pure virtual function derived function has to implement the pure virtual function or redeclare it as the pure virtual function

---

40) What do you mean by platform independence?

The platform independence refers to the ability of programming language or a platform that you implement on one machine and use them on another machine without or minimal changes. There are two types of platform independence, source platform independence, and binary platform independence. For example, Java is a binary platform independent language whereas c and c++ are source platform independence languages because java uses java virtual machine to run their programs but c and c++ use compilers to convert the source code to executable machine language.

---

41) Differentiate between Char and Varchar in DBMS?

Char and Varchar both are the datatypes in DBMS. Char and varchar both datatypes are used to store characters up to 8000. The only point of difference between the Char and Varchar is Char fixed length string datatype whereas Varchar, as the name suggests, is a variable length character storing data type.

For example, char(7) will take 7 bytes of memory to store the string, and it also includes space. Whereas varchar will take variable space, which means that it will only take that much of space as the actual data entered as the data of varchar data type.

---

42) Do you know about the different level of languages?

The different levels of programming languages were listed below:

• Low-level Language– Language which is understandable by machine is often known as machine language (binary language). It is challenging to read and doing code in this language by humans directly.
• Assembly level language– Some mnemonics are used which reduce the complexity of the program.
• Middle-level Language– This language is not so tricky as the assembly language, but it still requires the knowledge of computer hardware which makes it little difficult to program. For Example C and C++ programming languages.
• High-level language– Its right to say, this level of the programming language is the highest level of the programming language in the technology. These types of programming languages do not require the knowledge of the hardware. This level of the programming language is elementary to learn by the humans. For Example Java, PHP, Perl, Python, etc.

A structure and a class differ a lot as a structure has limited functionality and features as compared to a class. A class can be defined as the collection of related variables and functions encapsulated in a single structure whereas a structure can be referred to as an user-defined datatype for processing its operations. A keyword “Struct” is used for declaration of Struct Where a keyword “class” is used for the declaration of a class in the programming language. Default access specifier of the class is private whereas default access specifier of the struct is public. The purpose of the class is data abstraction and further inheritance whereas the use of the struct is generally, Grouping of data. General usage of the struct is a small amount of data whereas general usage of the class is to store a large amount of data.

---

47) Describe three levels of data abstraction? Which layer is at the user end?

The three levels of data abstraction are listed below:

1. Physical level: This is the lowest level of database abstraction describes how the data are stored.
2. Logical level: This level is the next higher level than the physical level of database abstraction, which represents the data stored in the database and what relationship among those data.
3. View level: This is the highest level of database abstraction describes only part of the entire database.

No doubt, View level layer of database abstraction is at the user end.

---

48) Difference between ‘Macro’ and ‘ordinary’ definition.

• Macro takes parameters whereas the ordinary definition does not.
• Based on the parameter values to macro, it can result in different value at runtime. Ordinary definition value remains same at all place at runtime.
• Macro can be used for conditional operations whereas the definition cannot.
• Using macro one can achieve inline functionality in C, i.e., a macro can be a function performing simple operations. This is not possible using definitions.
