Q1

What is the purpose of the 'final' keyword when applied to a variable in Java?

medium
View Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: It prevents the variable from being reassigned after its initial value is set
Explanation:
Once a final variable is assigned a value, attempting to reassign it causes a compile-time error. This is commonly used for constants, though for object references it only prevents reassigning the reference, not changing the object's internal state.
Q2

What is method overloading in Java?

easy
View Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: Defining multiple methods in the same class with the same name but different parameter lists
Explanation:
Overloading lets a class expose several versions of a method that differ in the number or type of parameters, and the compiler chooses which one to call based on the arguments provided at the call site.
Q3

What is the difference between a list and a tuple in Python?

easy
View Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A list is mutable and can be changed after creation, while a tuple is immutable
Explanation:
Because tuples cannot be changed after creation, they are often used for fixed collections of values, such as coordinates, and they can also be used as dictionary keys, which lists cannot because lists are unhashable.
Q4

What does the *args syntax allow a Python function to accept?

medium
View Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A variable number of positional arguments, collected into a tuple
Explanation:
When a function is defined with *args, any extra positional arguments passed to it are gathered into a tuple inside the function, letting the function accept a flexible number of inputs.
Q5

What is the difference between DELETE and TRUNCATE in SQL?

medium
View Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: DELETE removes rows one at a time and can be rolled back, while TRUNCATE removes all rows at once and is generally faster
Explanation:
DELETE is a logged, row by row operation that supports a WHERE clause and can be undone within a transaction, while TRUNCATE deallocates the data pages directly and typically cannot target specific rows.
Q6

What does the UNION operator do in SQL?

medium
View Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: Combines the results of two or more SELECT queries and removes duplicate rows
Explanation:
UNION requires each SELECT statement to return the same number of columns with compatible data types, and it automatically removes duplicate rows from the combined result unless UNION ALL is used instead.
