2. Technical Questions

[Link] is the difference between process and thread?

Process is an independent program in execution. Thread is a lightweight unit inside a process that
shares memory.

[Link] is paging in OS?

Dividing memory into fixed-size blocks (pages) so that processes can be loaded in non-contiguous
locations.

[Link] is segmentation in OS?

Memory divided based on logical divisions (functions, arrays, modules) → variable sized blocks.
[Link] is RAID in storage systems?

Redundant Array of Independent Disks, combines multiple hard drives to improve speed & reliability.

[Link] is cache memory?

High-speed memory between CPU & RAM, stores frequently used instructions.

[Link] is the difference between TCP and UDP?

TCP → Reliable, connection-oriented, slower.

UDP → Fast, connectionless, no error checking.

[Link] is a firewall?

A security system that monitors and filters network traffic (like a security guard).

[Link] DNS hierarchy.

Root → Top-Level Domains (.com, .org) → Second-Level Domains ([Link]) → Subdomains

[Link] is ARP in networking?

Address Resolution Protocol → maps IP address to MAC address.

[Link] is a deadlock condition?

Occurs when 4 conditions exist: Mutual exclusion, Hold & Wait, No Preemption, Circular Wait.

[Link] between paging and swapping.

Paging = dividing process into pages. Swapping = moving entire process in/out of main memory.

[Link] is big-endian and little-endian?

Big-endian = stores most significant byte first. Little-endian = stores least significant byte first.

[Link] is virtual memory?

Technique where OS uses hard disk as extension of RAM.

Creates a new child process that is a copy of the parent process.

[Link] between TCP 3-way handshake and 4-way termination.

3-way handshake = establish connection (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK).

4-way termination = close connection (FIN, ACK, FIN, ACK).

[Link] is polymorphism in C++?

Compile-time (function/operator overloading) and Runtime (virtual functions).

[Link] is the difference between interface and abstract class (Java)?

Interface: only abstract methods. Abstract class: can have both abstract & normal methods.

[Link] is a race condition?

When multiple threads/processes access shared data simultaneously → unpredictable results.

[Link] is DHCP?

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol → assigns IP addresses automatically to devices.

[Link] is SSL/TLS?

Secure communication protocols used in HTTPS for encryption.

[Link] is difference between heap and stack memory?

Stack → stores local variables, managed automatically.

Heap → used for dynamic memory allocation, managed manually.

[Link] is load balancing?

Distributing network or computing workload across multiple servers.

IPv4 header = 20 bytes, more complex. IPv6 header = 40 bytes, simpler with larger address space.

[Link] is multithreading?

Running multiple threads within a process concurrently.

[Link] is a kernel in OS?

Core of the operating system that manages hardware and system resources.
