Lowe’s -> 24 Feb 2024

For all the concepts, why this concept is introduced, what problem
does it solves, already there is a concept(eg: for loops) which is
solving a problem, then why there is a need of inventing this
concept (eg: streams) for solving a same problem,
What is difference between them, how does it adds more value than
previous one eg: why to use streams for iterating and applying
business logic when we have for loops to do same thing?
For all concepts understand them by asking below and above
questions on them
1. Why it is invented?
2. What problem does it solves?
3. What are its advantages and disadvantages?
4. When we already have a concept which does something
then why should use this concept over it?
5. How to decide when and what concept to be chosen?
6. What are the difference between those concepts which can
solve similar kind of problems?

Round 1 <- took by Sathish

1. Your intro

2. AWS Lambda, how did you created it <- learn everything about
creating and running was lambda in java, jax-rs, java-jerry

3. Monolithic vs MicroServices, advantages and disadvantages of

both them, which is more scalable, how can we scale them, why to
use micro services
4. Functional interface and Lambda Expressions

5. multithreading <- code multithreading <- Asynchronous call,

Future, CompletableFuture, ExecutorService, Runnable, Callable,
Thread, ThreadPool, Thread LifeCycle <- what logic you have written
to be executed by thread? <- callable interface implementation with
business logic

6. How do configure db-url and env specific things across testing

and prod environments, what all are the ways <- set environment
variables on cloud AWS lambda environment variables,
config/manifest.json, config/manifest-dev.json, config/manifest-
prod.json
springbok profiles application-dev.yaml or application-
dev.properties, application-prod.yaml, how you make which profile
should be used?

7. Http methods <- GET, POST, DELETE, UPDATE

8. mongoDB <- learn filtering data from db, inserting, updating,

deleting, by one or many

9. Sort Array List by passing lambda expressions in

Collections,sort(arrayListObj, (a,b) -> b-a) -> List<Emp> empList =
new ArrayList<>(); -> Collections.sort(emptiest, (a,b) -> b.name -
a.name);

10. How will be your working day, what do you do <- I develop java
code for given requirements and cover it with Junit test cases,
sonarqube report, sonaType report, code review, merge, deploy for
testing

11. How do you fix a reported bug <- by creating bug fix feature
branch

12. What All Data Structures You Know <- Learn All Data Structures
and Algorithms

13. What all are the time complexities we have <- O(n), O(nLogn),
O(n^2) etc…

14. DSA question solve in O(n) time complexity ->

mergeTwoSortedArrays -> arr1 = [1,2,3,6,7] arr2 = [4,5,7,8,9] ->
output arr1 [1,2,3,4,5] arr2 [6,7,7,8,9] -> use two pointer approach ->
left pointer = 0 for arr1, right pointer = 0 for arr2
compare arr[left] > arr[right] -> 6 > 4 -> swap them and
increment left++ and right++

15. What and how to use SQS, SNS, KAFKA, write code implementing
them

16. Write code to check a value form a JsonObject <- jsonObject has
List of JsonObjects from the list of json objects iterate them and
find the json object which has the value which we are looking for
convert jsonObject to java object, create endpoint for before
asked scenario(JsonObject), cover the code with Junit test case,
integration testing of an endpoint, test case for testing the api by
passing the path

17. Lombok annotations @Data annotation @NoArgsConstructor

annotations, all Lombok related annotations

18. Database caching reddis

19. Coding on Largest sum of SubArray from arrays <- give

optimised solution

20. HighLevel System Design of a application (Micro-services

Architecture)

Round 2 <- took by Pranav

1. Your intro

2. What is jax-rs, java jersey, why it is used, why it invented, how to

use it

3. What java version are you using <- java 8, what are features
introduced in java 8 and why they are introduced and how well and
frequently you are using it?

4. Lambda, functional interface, why to use lambda, why does it

introduced?

5. What is dependency injection, why to use dependency injection,

why to use @Autowired, why we should not create object using new
keyword, create singleton object, create prototype object in
springboot, constructed based dependency injection
why to use constructor based dependency inject?

6. Can you create asynchronous api in jax-rs/java-jersey/spring-boot,

what is synchronous call and asynchronous call?

7. Streams, apply streams on collection and filter data and collect it

into List Collectors.toLiist(), collect it into map
Collectors.toMap(), .map(), grouping which returns map <- all the
methods available in streams
List<Emp> empList = new ArrayList<>();
List<Emp> empWIthNamesHasEngineer =
empList.stream().filter(e ->
e.name.contains(“engineer”)).collect(Collectors.toList());
empList.stream().filter(e ->
e.name.contains(“engineer”)).map(e -> putInMap(e));
Map<Integer,String> empWIthNamesHasEngineer = new
HashMap<>();
putInMap(Emp emp){
empWIthNamesHasEngineer.put(emptied,emp.name);
}
solve same thing using stream().groupingBy() <- learn
grouping, flatMap and count() from streams <- all methods from
streams

8. Why to use streams over collections?

9. Mentioned I have good knowledge and given explanation on

Optional class and use cases and all the methods available in them

10. What all are the sorting algorithms, which algorithms you know
well, write code of mergeSort();

11. Which sorting algorithm does collections.sort() used and its time
and space complexity ?

12. Create an endpoint to Post Data in DB, post endpoint, return

ResponseEntity with statusCode and responseBody etc..

13. How can we validate request body received to the endpoint,

what all are the ways to do it, how can we do it just putting
annotation at endpoint @Valid, requestFilters and ResponseFilters

14. How do you handle exception <- @ControllerAdvisor, implements

ExceptionMapper(java-jersey/jax-rs)

15. Difference between @RestController and @Controller, how do you

choose which one to use?

16. Implement Repository Layer, what you need to pass in Generics

of JpaRepository eg: interface PostDataRepo extends
JpaRepository<Long, PostData>

17. What all are predefined methods in JpaRepository, can we create

our own methods.

18 write sql native query in repository for fetching the employees

whoever have the 5th highest salary <- throw the query get the
List<Employees> who all has the 5th largest salary

19 discussed about sql triggers and lots functionalities of sql, order

by desc, where clause, nested sql queries etc..

20. Create two entity classes and do @manyToMany Mapping <- write
code

21. What is Agile methodology?

22. What is CI/CD its abbreviation and why Jenkins is used, what is
the need of it, alternatives of Jenkins?

23. LocalDateTime vs Date in java

Feedback from round1 -> you have worked on all the requirements
we have, you good knowledge everything <- explore every concept
by asking why? When? How?

Feedback from round2 -> speaking with good energy keep it up

April 01 2024 <- hiring manager round

April 02 2024 <- HR round
