Data Structures - Arrays

1) Move all Negative numbers to the beginning of the Array
Move all the Negative elements to the beginning of the given Array. The solution is to take two pointers slowPointer, fastPointer. SlowPointer starting at position 0 and fastPointer starting at position 1. The required condition is to have all negatives at the beginning, so keep slowPointer at beginning as long as the element is positive and move it only incase the element is negative. For the fastPointer move it as long as the number is negative and stop when the number is positive and do a comparison with the slowPointer, if slowPointer is positive and fastPointer is negative swap the elements at both the positions and move both the pointers. When the Iteration is completed all the negative elements get moved to the beginning and all the positive elements to the end.

Rotate an Image represented as a 2D matrix in place To rotate an image represented as a 2D Matrix in place we first need to transpose the matrix(move row to column and column to row), after the transpose is completed then reverse the positions of elements for each row which makes the complete 2D array rotation by 90 degrees.

Java Productivity tools

Here are the list of Java Productivity tools that help in simplifying the daily life of a developer. Eclipse as an IDE simplifies the development life cycle which has a lots of plugins to support different programming languages and frameworks. Some of useful Eclipse plugins are - Sonarlint that helps to do static code analysis and give suggestions as we go along the development life cycle. JDGUI - Is the Eclipse Plugin that supports the decompilation of the Java application within eclipse, this is very handy when debugging and need to look at the out of the box code from a framework/library. JUnit is the unit testing framework that supports Unit Testing of Java Applications. Mockito is the framework that supports the Mock Unit Testing of the Java Application.

Core Java Interview Questions

1) Is Java Compiled or Interpreted languages? Java is both, first it is compiled by Java Compiler into ByteCode(which is a form of machine language just for the JVM). Then JVM interprets this byte code and converts it into machine understandable language. 2) How JVM Memory is organized? Which are stored in which part of JVM Memory? Classes and Methods are stored in Perm Gen space. String internalized are also stored in Perm Gen space. This space is very limited compared to the HeapSize. 3) Difference between PrintWriter and Buffered Writer PrintWriter is used for small and dirty applications where we can display/write the messages on to the console. More over PrintWriter swallows the exceptions, later can read the exceptions by calling checkError() method. 4) Difference between BufferedWriter vs FileWriter BufferedWriter stores the data in the buffer and won't make those many calls to the operating system, it also lets us to specify the size of the buffer, if the buffer size is s...
