Software Engineer Concept Interview Questions

Louie Z. - "DNNs can learn hierarchical features, with each layer learning progressively more abstract features, and generalizes better. SNNs are better for simplier problems involving smaller datasets and if low latency is required."See full answer

Sue G. - "Abstract class A class that can have Abstract methods - without implementations and Concerete Methods i.e with implementation. Can have private, protected and public access modifiers. Supports Single inheritance i.e a class can extend only 1 abstract class Can have constructors Mainly used when sharing common behaviors Interface Class A collection of abstract methods ( can have static and default methods also - onwards of java 8) Public, static, final are the access"See full answer

Meenakshi D. - "BETWEEN and HAVING clauses in SQL serve different purposes: 1. BETWEEN Clause Used to filter rows based on a range of values. Works with numeric, date, or text values. Can be used with WHERE or HAVING clauses. The range includes both lower and upper bounds. Example: Filtering employees with salaries between 30,000 and 50,000 `SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE salary BETWEEN 30000 AND 50000;` 2. HAVING Clause Used to filter **groups"See full answer

Darpan D. - "Clarifying When we say cloud gaming, we refer to a video gaming experience using cloud computing, right? Assumption: Yes. Understanding of cloud computing first. I'll use some analogies: Imagine you are looking to do heavy computing but don't have a powerful CPU and GPU. CPU and GPU are like your big calculators. You can buy a powerful CPU and GPU, but problems: It costs a lot to buy. It costs a lot to run. You don't need it 24-7. You are not a un"See full answer

Ali H. - "SQL databases are relational, NoSQL databases are non-relational. SQL databases use structured query language and have a predefined schema. NoSQL databases have dynamic schemas for unstructured data. SQL databases are vertically scalable, while NoSQL databases are horizontally scalable."See full answer

Sue G. - "In Java, GC is the process of automatically identifying and reclaming memory occupied by objects that are no longer reachable.. the process involves the 3 steps Mark phase -- identify the objects that are still in use. i.e reachable sweep Phase -- removes the unreachable objects compact phase -- rearragnes objects to prevent fragmentation 4 types of Garbage collection Serial GC -- single threaded simple and compacting -- best for small applications Parrallel GC -- throughput GC"See full answer

Sonia M. - "virtual function is a member function declared with virtual keyword in a base class. It enables derived classes to redefine this function with their own specific implementations."See full answer

Arun G. - "An Object Oriented programming deals with data and members. An Object Oriented Programming consumes more memory. An OOPS Consist of bottom-up approach. An OOPS is more secure Than POP. POP. An POP deals with Functions. An POP is less secure compare to OOPS. An POP contains less memory. An POP doesnt contain acess Modifiers."See full answer

Susmita S. - "Function that is passed as an argument or parameter to another function and it gets executed when the function that it is passed to gets executed"See full answer

Niteesh V. - "inheritance means its acquire all properties from parent class to child class.composition means its acquire some properties as our request is called composition"See full answer

Aziz V. - "ArrayList allows constant time access (O(1)) to elements using their index because it uses a dynamic array internally, whereas LinkedList requires traversal from the head node, resulting in linear time complexity (O(n))."See full answer
