Practise real interview questions, get instant feedback and walk in ready.
Q: Write a program to change all uppercase letters in a string to lowercase.
A: Walk the string once, and for every character in the A to Z range add 32 to its ASCII value, leaving everything else untouched. Mention the built-in helper for your language too, but write the manual version since that's what the interviewer wants to see.
Q: Implement topological sorting.
A: Topological sort orders the nodes of a directed acyclic graph so every edge points forward. Kahn's algorithm with in-degree counts and a queue is the easiest to explain, and DFS with a finish-time stack is the common alternative.
Q: What is the difference between lists and tuples in Python, and how does Python handle memory management?
A: Lists are mutable and tuples aren't, which makes tuples hashable and slightly cheaper. Python manages memory with reference counting plus a cyclic garbage collector, and small objects come from private heap pools rather than direct malloc calls.
Q: Explain SQL joins, stored procedures, views and the ORDER BY clause.
A: Joins combine rows across tables on a matching condition, views are saved queries you can select from, stored procedures are precompiled routines that can take parameters and run logic, and ORDER BY sorts the result set.
