A file is a collection of data that is stored on a computer or other device. Files can be
text, images, sounds, or any combination of these. They can be stored on a
computer, a hard drive, or some other device. When you open a file, you are actually
opening a copy of the data inside the file. This copy is called the “file” and it is what
you see when you open the file. The file can be opened in many different ways. For
example, you can open it by clicking on it or by double-clicking on it. The file can also
be opened by dragging and dropping it onto the screen or by using other methods.
When you open a file, you are actually opening a copy of the data inside the file.

3.   What is inheritance?
Inheritance is a way of structuring code so that it can be shared between different
classes. Inheritance allows code to be shared between different classes and allows
the same class to have different implementations in different contexts. Inheritance is
a powerful tool that can make your code more maintainable and easier to
understand. Inheritance is a fundamental concept in programming. It’s a way of
structuring code so that it can be shared between different classes.

computers. They are also used to create new types of robots.

8.   What is a class variable?


A class variable is a variable that is defined in a class and shared by all instances of the
class. Class variables can be used to store information about an object, such as its
name, its location in memory, and its state at any given time. Class variables are o en
used to store information that is shared by objects in the same class. For example, a
class might have a variable called name that is shared by all instances of the class.
Class variables are o en created with the special keyword class.

9.   What is a So ware Development Life Cycle?

Page 8 © Copyright by Interviewbit


Computer Science Interview Questions

A so ware development life cycle (SDLC) is a process used to plan and manage the
development of so ware. The SDLC is a set of activities that are performed over a
period of time to ensure that the so ware is developed in a way that is efficient and
effective. The SDLC can be divided into three phases: planning, design, and
implementation. During the planning phase, the organization identifies the goals and
objectives that need to be achieved. During the design phase, the organization
identifies the requirements for the so ware that will be developed. During the
implementation phase, the organization prepares the so ware for production and
tests it to ensure that it meets all of its requirements. The SDLC is an important part
of any so ware development process because it ensures that the so ware is
developed in a way that is efficient and effective.

10.   What is a programming language?

Page 9 © Copyright by Interviewbit


Computer Science Interview Questions

A programming language is a computer language designed to facilitate the creation


of so ware. It is a set of rules and guidelines that govern the structure and format of
computer programs. A programming language is typically a high-level language that
abstracts away the complexities of programming in order to make it easier for
programmers to understand and write code. There are many different programming
languages, including C, C++, Java, and Python. The most popular programming
languages today are C++ and Java. C++ is a high-level language that abstracts away
the complexities of programming in order to make it easier for programmers to
understand and write code.

11.   What is Integrated Development Environment?

work together. Frameworks are usually built using a set of reusable components.
These components can be used to build different types of so ware, such as web
applications, desktop applications, and mobile apps. A framework can be used to
structure large projects and to help teams work together. A framework can also be
used to help teams understand the different stages of so ware development. For
example, a framework can help teams understand the different stages of so ware
development when building web applications.

13.   What is an Interface?

Page 11 © Copyright by Interviewbit


Computer Science Interview Questions

An interface is a way of communicating between two objects. The objects can be


so ware or hardware. An interface can be defined in many different ways, but the
most common definition is that it is a way for one object to talk to another object.
This communication can take many different forms, such as sending data to the
other object, receiving data from the other object, or both. An interface can be
implemented in many different ways, but the most common way is to use a so ware
class. This class defines the interface and then other classes can use this class to
implement the interface. When an object uses an interface, it is saying that it
understands how the interface works and can use it to communicate with other
objects.

14.   What is an abstract class?


An abstract class is a class that is not defined in the source code. Instead, it is defined
in a file that contains a definition of the class. The file defines the class by defining all
of the properties and methods of the class. However, the class does not have to be
defined in the source code. Instead, it can be defined in a separate file that is
included in the source code. The file can then be referenced by the source code. This
allows the class to be abstract and still be defined in the source code. The main
advantage of an abstract class is that it allows other classes to use the class without
having to know all of its properties and methods. This makes it possible for other
classes to use a class without knowing all of its properties and methods.

15.   What is an array?
An array is a data structure that can hold a lot of data. Arrays are used in a lot of
different applications, such as databases, spreadsheets, and games. Arrays are made
up of different data types, such as numbers, strings, and characters. Arrays are also
called indexed structures because they can be accessed by indexing. Arrays are one of
the most important data structures in programming. They are used to store data in a
way that is easy to access and to organize it in a way that makes sense. Arrays are also
used in many different applications, such as databases, spreadsheets, and games. An
array is a data structure that can hold a lot of data. Arrays are used in a lot of different
applications, such as databases, spreadsheets, and games.

16.   What is a constructor?

Page 12 © Copyright by Interviewbit


Computer Science Interview Questions

A constructor is a function that is called when an object is created. A constructor is a


function that takes a few arguments the type of object to be created, the initial state
of the object, and the name of the class that will contain the object. When an object
is created, it is passed to the constructor of the class that contains the object. A
constructor can be used in many different ways. For example, a constructor can be
used to initialize an array of objects or to initialize a variable that will be used by
multiple objects. In these cases, it is important to use a constructor that takes only a
few arguments.

17.   Define Cin and Cout in C++?


Cin and cout are two important functions in C++ that you should know about. Cin and
cout are functions that allow you to read and write data to a stream. The basic syntax
of cin and cout is as follows:
cin(stream) - Read data from the stream.
cin(stream, value) - Read data from the stream and assign a value to the
variable.
cout(stream) - Write data to the stream.
cout(stream, value) - Write data to the stream and assign a value to the variable.

Page 13 © Copyright by Interviewbit


Computer Science Interview Questions

The first function cin takes a stream as an argument and reads data from the stream.
The second function cout takes a stream as an argument and writes data to the
stream. You can use cin and cout to read and write data from a file, a database, or any
other source of data.

18.   What is artificial intelligence?


Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that deals with the
development of machines that can learn and process information. AI has applications
in a wide range of fields, including robotics, machine learning, and artificial
intelligence. In robotics, AI is used to build robots that can perform tasks that would
be too difficult or dangerous for humans to perform. For example, AI could be used
to build robots that can navigate through dangerous environments, such as mines or
oil rigs. In machine learning, AI is used to train machines to recognize patterns and
make decisions based on those patterns.

19.   What is machine learning?

Computer Science Interview Questions

Machine learning is a field of computer science that deals with the identification and
analysis of patterns in data. Machine learning algorithms can be used to identify
patterns in data, such as relationships between variables, or to make predictions
based on those relationships. Machine learning algorithms can be divided into two
broad categories: supervised and unsupervised. Supervised machine learning
algorithms, such as classification and regression, are used to identify patterns in
data. Unsupervised machine learning algorithms, such as clustering and association
analysis, are used to identify associations between variables. The most common
supervised machine learning algorithms are classification and regression.

recognition, speech recognition, and translation. Deep learning has become a hot
topic in recent years due to its potential applications in fields such as artificial
intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision. In order to train a deep learning
network, it is first necessary to create a model. A model is a representation of the
data that the network is expected to learn from.

21.   What are the different OOPS principles?


OOPS, principles are a set of rules and guidelines that organizations can use to
ensure that their so ware is as bug-free as possible. The OOPS principles are:
1. Open source- All so ware should be released under an open-source license,
such as the GNU General Public License (GPL) or the Apache License.
2. Patent- All so ware should be released with a patent waiver, such as the
USPTO's Patent Promise or the EU's EPO.
3. Quality- All so ware should be developed using quality-assured tools and
practices, such as unit testing and code reviews.
4. Simplicity- All so ware should be easy to understand and maintain, and should
not require complex configuration or customization.
5. Reuse- All so ware should be reusable so that it can be adapted to new needs
without requiring a complete rewrite.
6. Simplicity- All so ware should be easy to understand and maintain, and should
not require complex configuration or customization.

22.   Explain the access modifiers?


Access modifiers are a way of specifying which users have access to a resource. Access
modifiers are o en used to control access to data, files, or other resources. For
example, a database might allow only certain users to see the data. Or, a file might be
locked down so that only the owner can see it.

Computer Science Interview Questions

23.   What do you mean by destructor?


A destructor is a function that is called when an object is destroyed. A destructor is a
way to clean up a er an object has been destroyed. When an object is destroyed, the
memory associated with the object is released. When an object is created, the
memory associated with the object is allocated. The destructor is called when the
memory associated with the object is no longer needed. The destructor frees up the
memory associated with the object and releases it into the environment. When an
object is destroyed, it can be very difficult to find out why an object was destroyed.

24.   What are the Layers of the OSI Model?


The OSI model is a system-level networking model that describes the topology of a
network. The model consists of seven layers: Physical, Data Link, Transport, Network,
Application, and Management. Each layer is responsible for providing a specific
function. For example, the Physical layer provides connectivity between devices and
the Data Link layer is responsible for data transmission. The Transport layer is
responsible for routing data and the Network layer is responsible for managing the
network. The Application layer is responsible for providing services to the devices on
the network and the Management layer is responsible for managing the network.
Each layer in the OSI model has a specific purpose and each layer in the OSI model
has a specific role to play in the overall system.

25.   What is the thread in programming?


The thread is a fundamental concept in programming. It is a way of organizing and
managing code so that it can run in parallel. The thread is a way of keeping code
running in the background while the main program is running. Threads are used to
parallelize tasks and to share resources among multiple threads. When the main
program runs, it sends instructions to the thread that is running the task. When the
task is done, the thread that was running the task sends instructions to the main
program that is waiting for instructions. This process continues until all tasks are
done or until one of them crashes or gets interrupted. Threads are a fundamental
concept in programming because they allow programs to run in parallel and to share
resources. They are also useful for managing memory and CPU usage.

Page 18 © Copyright by Interviewbit


Computer Science Interview Questions

The primary memory in programming is the data structure that is used to store the
information that is used by the program to control the execution of the program. The
primary memory is composed of variables, constants, and data types. The variables
are used to store information about the current state of the program. The constants
are used to store values that are known at compile-time and are needed by the
program when it is run. The data types are used to store values that are known at
runtime and are needed by the program when it is run.
The primary memory in programming is composed of three different types of data
structures:
Variables - These are used to store information about the current state of the
program. Variables can be used to store values such as numbers, strings, and
booleans.
Constants - These are used to store values that are known at compile-time and
are needed by the program when it is run. Constants can be used to store values
such as integers, floating-point numbers, and booleans.
Data types - These are used to store values that are known at runtime and are
needed by the program when it is run. Data types can be used to store values
such as arrays, lists, and dictionaries.

27.   What is the internet?


The internet is a worldwide network of computers and devices that enables people to
share information, ideas, and products. It is made up of many different types of
networks, such as the internet, mobile networks, and satellite networks. The internet
is used for a variety of purposes, including communication, learning, and
entertainment. The internet was originally created to allow people to share
information and ideas. Today, it is used for a variety of other purposes, including
communication, learning, and entertainment. The internet is also an important part
of the economy by connecting people around the world.

28.   What is the World Wide Web?

Page 19 © Copyright by Interviewbit


Computer Science Interview Questions

The World Wide Web (or WWW) is a collection of interconnected data networks that
enable people to share information, documents, and programs across the Internet.
The web is made up of hundreds of different websites, each of which contains
information about a particular topic or subject. These websites are organized into a
hierarchy called a “web page” that describes the content of the page and links to
other pages. Web pages can be written in many different languages, and they can be
organized in many different ways, including using tabs and links. The web is a
powerful tool for sharing information because it enables people to easily access
information from anywhere on the planet. For example, you can access information
about any topic you want from any computer or device that has Internet access. You
can also use the web to share documents and programs with other people who have
access to the same devices as you do.

29.   What is an Algorithm?
An algorithm is a set of steps that are used to solve a problem. Algorithms are used in
a variety of fields, including computer science, mathematics, and engineering. An
algorithm is a set of instructions that tells a computer how to perform a task.

30.   What is cryptography?
Cryptography is the science and art of creating and using codes and ciphers to
protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction.
Cryptography is used to protect data from unauthorized access, modification, or
disclosure. Cryptography can also be used to secure data transmissions, such as e-
mail and web browsing. Cryptography also plays an important role in the security of
computer networks, such as the Internet. Codes and ciphers are used to encode and
decode information. For example, when you type in a password on a computer, the
computer uses a code to encrypt the password. When you send an e-mail, you use a
code to encrypt the message.

Computer Science Interview Questions

31.   What is a singleton class?


A singleton class is a class that is defined once and only once. This can be used to
reduce the number of classes you need to define in your application, and it can also
be used to reduce the complexity of your code. When you define a singleton class,
you are declaring that the class is only ever going to be created once. This can be
useful if you want to reduce the number of instances that your class will have to
create, and it can also be useful if you want to reduce the complexity of your code.
Singleton classes are o en used when you need to create a single instance of a class,
but you don't want that instance to be shared across multiple objects. For example, if
you want to create a single instance of a class that represents an image, you might
create a singleton class that represents that image.

32.   Is string class final?


Yes. The string class is final. This means that you cannot subclass it, and you cannot
override its methods. This is a good thing because it means that you can use the
string class without worrying about its internal state. There are a few things that you
can do to subclass the string class, though. First, you can use StringBuilder to create a
subclass of the string class. This class can then override the methods that you need to
override to create your own subclass of the string class. Second, you can use
StringBuffer to create a subclass of the string class. This class can then override the
methods that you need to override to create your own subclass of the string class.
Finally, you can use StringBuilder and StringBuffer together to create a subclass of
the string class.

Computer Science Interview Questions

33.   What is a wrapper class?


A wrapper class is a class that inherits from another class and then provides a set of
methods and/or properties that are specific to its own purpose. Wrappers are
typically used to hide implementation details from the user, allowing the developer
to concentrate on the business logic. A wrapper class can be used to hide
implementation details from the user, allowing the developer to concentrate on the
business logic. Wrappers can also be used to provide a set of methods and/or
properties that are specific to their own purpose. The main advantage of wrappers is
that they allow you to hide implementation details from the user, allowing you to
concentrate on the business logic. The main disadvantage of wrappers is that they
can be difficult to maintain.

34.   What are multiple inheritances in Java?


Multiple inheritances are a way of passing on multiple copies of a particular class or
interface to a child's class. This can be useful when you want to make sure that some
code is always available to your child's classes. One way to do this is to create a
subclass of the parent class, and then provide the child with a copy of the parent
class. Another way is to create multiple inheritances in your Java code, and then
provide the child with a reference to the parent class. Multiple inheritances are useful
for situations where you need to make sure that some code is always available to
your child's classes. In Java, multiple inheritances are implemented using the public
and private modifiers on a class or interface. When multiple inheritances are present,
the public modifier indicates that the class or interface is publically accessible. The
private modifier indicates that the class or interface is privately accessible. Multiple
inheritances can be useful when you want to make sure that some code is always
available to your child's classes.

35.   What is Cache?
A cache is a temporary storage location for frequently accessed data. Caches are
useful for organizations that need to store large amounts of data in a short amount
of time. They can also be used to improve performance by reducing the amount of
data that needs to be retrieved from the network. Caches can be used to store data in
several different ways. They can be used to store data that is frequently accessed,
such as documents or images. They can also be used to store data that is rarely
accessed, such as log files or application states. They can also be used to store data
that is needed only occasionally, such as temporary files or cookies.

Computer Science Interview Questions

36.   What is Deadlock?
A deadlock is a situation where two or more processes are waiting for each other to
finish. Deadlock occurs when one process is waiting for another process to finish
before it can continue. The process that is waiting will not finish until the other
process finishes. This can be a problem if you need to wait for a long time, as this can
lead to your system becoming unresponsive.

Computer Science Interview Questions

37.   What is a Critical Section?


A critical section is a section of code that is crucial to the operation of a program. By
accessing critical sections, a program can make changes to the overall functionality
of the program without affecting other sections of code. Critical sections are o en
accessed through functions, methods, and variables. The purpose of a critical section
is to ensure that all parts of the program are working properly.

Computer Science Interview Questions

38.   What is Multithreading?
Multithreading is a technique that allows multiple threads to run in parallel on a
single processor. This allows multiple tasks to be run in parallel without the need for
synchronization. In addition, multithreading can improve performance by allowing
tasks to run in parallel without having to wait for each other to finish. For example, it
is not appropriate for applications that require high performance or when the
processor cannot support more than one thread at a time. Multithreading also has its
own set of risks and pitfalls. For example, multithreading can lead to increased
system load and increased system resource consumption.

39.   What is normalization in a Database?


Normalization is a process of abstracting and simplifying data. It is a way of making
data easier to understand and easier to work with. For example, if you have a data set
that contains a lot of numbers, you can normalize it by taking the numbers and
breaking them down into smaller pieces, such as by dividing by 10. This makes it
easier to work with the data and makes it easier to see trends and patterns. You can
also normalize your data by making it more consistent.

43.   Explain DNS?
DNS is the acronym for Domain Name System. It's a way of mapping domain names
to IP addresses. The IP address is a number that's assigned to each device that
connects to the Internet. When you type in a domain name, your computer sends a
request to the DNS server, which looks up the corresponding IP address. The DNS
server then returns a response that includes the domain name and an associated IP
address. This process is called name resolution. DNS is used by most websites and
services that use the Internet. It's also used by email services like Gmail and Yahoo
Mail, as well as by many online services like shopping sites and online banking
services.
