Practise real IBM questions with an AI interviewer and get instant feedback on your answers.
Q: What is shallow copy and deep copy?
A: A shallow copy duplicates the top level object but keeps pointing at the same nested objects, so changing a nested value shows up in both copies. A deep copy recursively duplicates everything, so the two objects are fully independent.
Q: For runtime polymorphism, what else is necessary, other than the function to be virtual?
A: You also need to call the function through a base class pointer or reference. A virtual function invoked on an object directly is resolved at compile time, so the dynamic dispatch never happens.
Q: Explain the SOLID principles.
A: SOLID covers single responsibility, open closed, Liskov substitution, interface segregation and dependency inversion. Together they push you toward small focused classes that you extend rather than edit, and that depend on abstractions instead of concrete types.
Q: String compression: convert "abbcddeee" into "ab2cd2e3".
A: Walk the string once, count each run of identical characters, then append the character and, only when the count is above one, the count itself. That gives O(n) time and O(n) space for the output buffer.
