Section 1 : Aptitude (10 questions) : This section is easy not tough.
Section 2 : Set of Programming logic question belongs to C, C++, Java. Better learn Pointer concept, Array list, exception handling, and basic oops concept., it was good had a few Aptitude and Java questions.

The second round is also written but you need to write programming based on their concept.

1. Find prime numbers

HSBCSalesforceDeutsche Bank

You are given a positive integer ‘N’. Your task is to print all prime numbers less than or equal to N.

Note: A prime number is a natural number that is divisible only by 1 and itself. Example - 2, 3, 17, etc.

You can assume that the value of N will always be greater than 1. So, the answer will always exist.

Problem approach

The naïve approach for this question is to run a loop from the start to the end number. And for each number, check if it is prime or not. If the number is prime, we print it otherwise skip it.

One optimization to this approach would be to skip all even numbers (except 2 if present in interval) since even numbers are not prime.
Function to check if a number is prime or not :
isPrime(n):
if (n <= 1) return false
for (i=2; i if (n%i == 0)
return false
}
return true

2. Check If The String Is A Palindrome

SprinklrCIS - Cyber InfrastructureSamsung

You are given a string 'S'. Your task is to check whether the string is palindrome or not. For checking palindrome, consider alphabets and numbers only and ignore the symbols and whitespaces.

Note :

String 'S' is NOT case sensitive.

Example :

Let S = “c1 O$d@eeD o1c”.
If we ignore the special characters, whitespaces and convert all uppercase letters to lowercase, we get S = “c1odeedo1c”, which is a palindrome. Hence, the given string is also a palindrome.
Problem approach

The idea is to create a copy of num and recursively pass the copy by reference, and pass num by value. In the recursive calls, divide num by 10 while moving down the recursion tree. While moving up the recursion tree, divide the copy by 10. When they meet in a function for which all child calls are over, the last digit of num will be ith digit from the beginning and the last digit of copy will be ith digit from the end.

Technical round with questions mainly on Java and OOPS concepts.

1. Java Question

Difference between Static methods and Instance methods

Problem approach

Instance method can access the instance methods and instance variables directly.
Instance method can access static variables and static methods directly.
Static methods can access the static variables and static methods directly.
Static methods can’t access instance methods and instance variables directly. They must use reference to object. And static method can’t use this keyword as there is no instance for ‘this’ to refer to.

2. Java Question

Difference between Abstract Class and Interface

Problem approach

1) Abstract class can have abstract and non-abstract methods. Interface can have only abstract methods. Since Java 8, it can have default and static methods also.
2) Abstract class doesn't support multiple inheritance. Interface supports multiple inheritance.
3) Abstract class can have final, non-final, static and non-static variables. Interface has only static and final variables.
4) Abstract class can provide the implementation of interface. Interface can't provide the implementation of abstract class.
5) The abstract keyword is used to declare abstract class. The interface keyword is used to declare interface.
6) An abstract class can extend another Java class and implement multiple Java interfaces. An interface can extend another Java interface only.
7) An abstract class can be extended using keyword "extends". An interface can be implemented using keyword "implements".

3. Java Question

ClassNotFoundException Vs NoClassDefFoundError in Java

Problem approach

1. As the name suggests, ClassNotFoundException is an exception while NoClassDefFoundError is an error.
2. ClassNotFoundException occurs when classpath does not get updated with required JAR files while error occurs when the required class definition is not present at runtime.

4. Java Question

Difference between Error and Exception

Problem approach

1 Type : 
Error : Classified as an unchecked type 
Exception : Classified as checked and unchecked 
2 Package :
Error : It belongs to java.lang.error 
Exception : It belongs to java.lang.Exception 
3 Recoverable/ Irrecoverable : 
Error : It is irrecoverable
Exception : It is recoverable
4 Error : It can't be occur at compile time 
Exception : It can occur at run time compile time both 
5 Example
Error : OutOfMemoryError ,IOError 
Exception : NullPointerException , SqlException

5. Java Question

What is SerialVersionUID?

Problem approach

The serialization at runtime associates with each serializable class a version number called a serialVersionUID, which is used during deserialization to verify that the sender and receiver of a serialized object have loaded classes for that object that are compatible with respect to serialization.

6. Java Question

What are the requirement for creating a Immutable Class in Java?

Problem approach

Following are the requirements: 

The class must be declared as final so that child classes can’t be created.
Data members in the class must be declared private so that direct access is not allowed.
Data members in the class must be declared as final so that we can’t change the value of it after object creation.
A parameterized constructor should initialize all the fields performing a deep copy so that data members can’t be modified with an object reference.
Deep Copy of objects should be performed in the getter methods to return a copy rather than returning the actual object reference)
