 Q1881. What is the quickest way to find count of duplicate elements in an arraylist, without using iteration or loops ?Core Java
Ans. We can copy the elements to a Set and then find the difference of count between ArrayList and Set. As Set don't allow duplicates , they will be removed in the set.

Very frequently asked. Usually among very first few questions.
 Q1884. Define encapsulation in Java ?Core Java
Ans. Encapsulation is a feature of OOP's that binds the data and it's associated methods together as a single unit and facilitate protection and data hiding by providing minimal interface to outside. For example - member variables are declared private and are accessed through public methods. Moreover we have private methods that can only be used internally and hence providing minimal interface to outside class through use of public methods.

 Q1886. What is a shard in Kinesis stream ?Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Ans. A shard is a uniquely identified group of data records in a stream or we can say that Shard is a partition in Kinesis stream. A shard supports a fixed bandwidth i.e fixed number of messages per second. The total capacity of the stream is the sum of the capacities of its shards. If the data rate changes, we can allocate / deallocate more shards to accommodate that.

 Q1887. What is the relationship between shard and partition key in kinesis stream ?Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Ans. A partition key is used to group data by shard within a stream. A partition key identifies which shard the message belong to.

 Q1889. What do you understand by "Scaling Trigger" ?Server
Ans. It's a configuration for auto scaling environment that specify the attributes / conditions for scaling instances up and down. For example - We may like environment to scale up when the number of requests / sec increases a particular threshold and scale down when it decreases below a threshold.

 Q1890. How can we know how many instances are currently in service within an Elastic Beanstalk environment ?Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Ans. We can go to respective environment and check configuration and then scaling. It mentions that as current status like

Current status:

2 instance(s) in service, Min: 1, Max: 4

 Q1892. How can we get count of all keys within Redis ?Redis
Ans. We can either do DBSIZE or KEYS *

Keys * will return the list of all keys too so DBSIZE is preferred if we just want the count.

 Q1893. What is the difference between "Manual Scaling" and "Auto Scaling" ? Server
Ans. Manual scaling is the process of scaling instances up and down in a an enviornment manually by observing the scaling trigger whereas Auto scaling is the process wherein a Trigger condition specified as a scaling trigger will trigger scaling up and down of instances.

for example - If an organization has a policy of scaling up if requests / sec / instance exceeds 10000, Operations team will have to manually monitor the metric and they can request scaling up and down as the need arise. Manual scaling offers flexibility as team can scale on the basis of combination of factors and can take decision on flyby requires continuous monitoring.

The same trigger can be fed as triggering policy to the environment and can be taken care by the system. This requires availability of such triggering policy within the environment configuration but as it's automatically handled, requires no supervision.

 Q1895. Give an example of how Object Oriented Programming Concepts can be implemented.Design
Ans. You can implement encapsulation in Java by keeping the fields (class variables) private and providing public getter and setter methods to each of them. Java Beans are examples of fully encapsulated classes. Encapsulation in Java: Restricts direct access to data members (fields) of a class.

 Q1899. What is an infinite loop ?Core Java
Ans. Infinite loop is a programming condition wherein the control goes into an infinite loop because the loop termination condition can never be met. For example -

for(int x=1;x>0;x++){
}

in this loop, with each increment the condition x > 0 will remain true till infinity.

 Q1900. What is a ternary operator ?Database
Ans. Ternary operator , also called conditional operator is used to decide which value to assign to a variable based on a Boolean value evaluation. It is used as

condition ? value1 : value2

For example

int y = (x > 0) ? x:0; // assign x if it's greater than 0, else assign 0

 Q1909. What is the problem we could face if we be very liberal with importing classes even if we are not using them ? For example

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
Core Java
Ans. It makes application little heavy as we are importing classes that aren't required.

It creates class name conflicts as similar name classes might be available across different packages. In case of such conflicts, we will have to specify the package name with the class name at the time of it's usage.
