Betty White’s Deadpool Review Is Hilarious

"I give it four Golden Girls. It's the best picture of the year"

Betty White’s seemingly innocent review of Deadpool is not quite what you would expect from everyones’ favorite Golden Girl.

The Marvel film, starring Ryan Reynolds, is described by White as something the whole family would love, before she launches in an explicit breakdown of the film.

“Plus, Ryan Reynolds looks so f—ing handsome in his red leather suit. I give it four Golden Girls. It’s the best picture of the year”White says as she sits on a Deadpool-themed throne

LINK LIST IN DATA STRUCTURE

LINK LIST IN DATA STRUCTURE

Linked list is the most basic form of a data structure. A linked list is more or less similar to an array in that it can hold a list of values. But the similarity ceases here. The major difference between a linked list and array is that an array can hold values belonging to the same data type only whereas there is no such restriction on a linked list. For example, if an array is declared with type as int in C language, it can hold only integer values. Coming to a linked list, as it is a data structure, there is seldom any type associated with it. Apart from the above difference, there is one more difference that makes linked lists more versatile. It is not only possible to create linear linked lists but also circular linked lists i.e., the last element of the list can be made to point to the first. Another difference is that the memory to be allocated to a linked list can be specified dynamically i.e., we need not mention the number of elements in the linked list at the time of compilation. This facility may also be available for arrays in some languages but is not widely used. The most basic form of a linked list is created by creating a structure with one data element and a pointer to point to the next element in the data structure. The pointer of the last element is intialised to null to avoid it to point to some junk value if its a linear linked list. On the contrary, if it is a circular linked list, the pointer of the last element is made to point to the first element in the list. The above type of list allows traversing in only one direction. If we want bi-directional traversal, then we can create a structure with two pointers where one pointer is made to point to the previous element and the other point to the next element in the list. Modifications are made as stated above for a simple linked list to convert this to a circular list. Accordingly the above two types of lists are sometimes called single linked list and double linked list. Instead of using a single data element, we can use any number of data elements with several different data types within the structure. We may also use arrays as data elements of the linked list. An element in a linked list is often called a node. It is possible to add/delete nodes from any position within the linked list. According to the operation selected, the pointers need to be updated appropriately. Giving a C program to create a linked list would make this response too big as the programs to create linked lists often run more than hundred lines. Nevertheless, they are simple and can be easily understood once the concept is known. For further information and programs, you can refer to standard text books like Data

The link list in computer data structure program consists of sequence of data records with reference data field in each record in order to link each data record to the subsequent data field.
The link list grows when data is added and shrinks when data is deleted in the list. Hence link list is known as dynamic data structure in conjunction with dynamic memory management techniques.
Link list in data structure have flexibility in adding, deleting or rearranging data at run time permitting additional memory space and releasing unused memory space in order to optimum use of storage space.


Linked List is a complex dynamic data structure which contains of nodes having two parts data and next. Next is just a pointer pointing to the next node in the list. If the list is empty next just point ot NULL. There are different types of linked list namely Singly, Doubly and Circular. Singly Linked List is the list which can be traversed in one direction only and whose last last node of the list points to NULL. Doubly Linked list has two pointers PREV and NEXT.This list can be traversed in both the directions. PREV of the first node of doubly linked list always points to NULL and also the NEXT of last node points to NULL. Circular Linked List is the one whose last node points to the first instead of to the NULL. The different operations that can be performed on list are. INSERT:- We can dynamically insert any node at any desired position into the list. DELETE:- Similar to insertion, deletion can also be accomplished dynamically. TRAVERSE:- Traversing is just trvelling through the list visiting each node. As each thing has pros and cons, the only drawback of linked list is randomly accessing of element which can be achieved through array index in array but not in linked list.The good thing about linked list is its run­time expand­abil­ity which proves its flexibility.

Linked List is a Data storage mechanism in which list of data is stored in linear order. Linked list contains collection of nodes, each node contains data part and address part in which the next node address is stored. Each node in link list contains address of next node except the last node because last node contains the NULL pointer which indicates the end of list. Linked list has following types: 1. Singly Link List 2. Doubly Link List 3. Circular Link List
Link list data structure is created using the Structure of C as given below: struct list { int data; struct list *next; }; The dynamic node is created using malloc() and calloc() functions available in C language and new operator is used in case of C++. The following Operation can be performed on link list: 1.Insert element 2.Delete Element 3.Find Sum of All elements 4.Count number of node in list 5.Search any element 6.Reverse the list 7.Make copy of list 8.Merger two list 9.Update element Link list is widely used by various real life applications.

Linked List is basically a linear list of Elements which are linked to one another with some means of links, and hence it is known as linked list.

Each element in the list is known as Node.
And each node in the have at least two parts:-
1. Data Part
2. Link part

Data Part:- This part of every node of the list contains the information stored in that node of the list

Link Part:- This part of the node contains the memory address of the next node in the linked list.

For Example:Implementation of linked list node in C Language

Struct Node
{
int RollNo;//Data Part
int Marks;//Data Part
struct Node *link;//Address of the next Node
}; 

Note that the linked list contains a special node called the START which contains the address of the first node in the linked list.

if START == NULL
then it means that the linked list is Empty.


Linked List is a structure in data structures having a number of nodes that stores information as well as the pointer field that points to the next record to be processed. The pointer is basically a address that is used to access the next information part within a linked list. The last pointer field is filled using NULL character means there is no way further. So, it indicates the end of the linked list. Various algorithms are there to insert or delete nodes in a linked list.
It may be:

Insert element at the starting of linked list,
Insert element at the end of linked list,
Insert element at the middle of linked list,
Delete element at the starting of linked list,
Delete element at the end of linked list,
Delete element at the middle of linked list,


linked list a data structure which stores data in the form of nodes.It does not require linear memory as arrays. Each node contains a data part and a pointer part(a pointer to the next data in the list)

link or node is object of a class.there are so many types of linked list 1) single linked list
2)doubly linked list 
3)circular linked list.

single linked list:
here links contains pointer to first data and last data in the list.As said earlier a pointer to the next data.
example of a linked list:

class node{// all nodes will be the objects of this class
public int data;
public link next_node;//a pointer to next data
}
public node(int data){
this.data=data;
}//end of constructor
public void showdata(){
System.out.println("data= "+data);
}
}//end of class node

After defining class for each node we need to define a class for link list. Link list contains a pointer to the first node in the list,Which should be initialized to null in the beginning. All the operations to be performed on the link list is defined as functions in this class. For example insert first,Delete,insert search etc.

class linkedlist{
private node first_node;//pointer to the first node is defined
public linkedlist(){
first_node=null;
}
public void add_DAta(int data1){
//create newnode in the memory and store data
node newnode= new node(data1);
//initially first data is null 
//set the current first as the next node of the new node
newnode.next_node=first;
//set newnode as the first node
first_node=newnode;
}
}//end of class

Doubly link list:
This allows us to traverse backward and forward through the list . Here this a pointer to previous node i.e the class node in our example will have one more pointer to the previous node.
There is pointer to the last node in the list i.e class linkedlist contains pointer to last node in the list.
Circular linklist:
As the name indicate we can traversethe list i circular fashion that from first node to last node and back to firat node in the same direction. Last node will have a pointer to first node.

Dear CV Reader, Are You Preparing Seriously For Your Placement Tests ?


CTS 3 Sample Sequences Questions

In CTS you can expect few questions from sequences. Though generally easy to crack, these questions require good concentration on your part, else could get tricky.

Placement Question 1

Find the next pair in the sequence - AB CA FB JA

Options : 1) OB 2) OC 3) NA 4) NB

Answer 1

Answer is option 1) OB.

Reason.

Consider the first terms of the sequence A,C,F,J... Here C is one next A, F is two next C, J is three next F and so on. Hence next alphabet would be O (which is four next J). Consider second terms B,A,B,A... Hence this is an alternating sequence of Bs and As. Hence next alphabet would be B.

Based on the above two statements, the answer is OB.

Placement Question 2

Find the next pair of alphabets in the sequence - AB EC ID OE

Options : 1) LF 2) UF 3) UG 4) LE

Answer 2

Answer is option 2) UF.

Reason.

Consider the first terms of the sequence A,E,I,0... Have you seen this somewhere ? :). Yes, this is our good old sequence of vowels. Hence next vowel would be U.

Consider second terms B,C,D,E... This is a plain sequence of alphabets in order. Hence next one would be F. Combining above two statements answer is UF.

Placement Question 3

(Easy Question) Find the next alphabet in the sequence... A,Z,B,Y,_,X ?

Options : 1) D 2) C 3) F 4) G

Answer 3

You would had already guessed. Yes, it is option 2) C.

Reason

Consider the second, fourth and last alphabets. They are Z,Y and X which are the last three alphabets. Similarly consider the first and third terms - A and B. These are the first two alphabets. Hence logically the blank should be occupied by C which is the third alphabet from the start.

Wipro 3 Sample C Basics Interview Questions

During Wipro interviews, you can expect few questions touching the basics of C. These may not be difficult, but would require a good understanding of the basics. Let us discuss 3 sample questions which can help during your interviews.

Interview Question 1

Tell one good programming requirement that illustrates the fact that C is a strongly typed language ?

Answer 1

C involves variable declarations before their usage. This makes it clear that C is strongly typed.

Interview Question 2

Consider a weather report application in C where any change in temperature by +- 2 degrees will be constantly reported to the system and the application should store the times of the day when these changes took place. Which is a better data structure to be used in this scenario - an array or a linked list ?

Answer 2

Linked List would handle dynamically growing data very well when compared to arrays. Hence it would be a better choice.

Interview Question 3

Can one use arrays to implement stacks or queues over linked lists ? Is it feasible ?

Answer 3

Thought linked lists are commonly used for implementing stacks or queues, with good programming logic, arrays can also be used to implement those. However, as you would expect, linked lists are far more efficient in this scenario.


4 CTS Sample Interview Easy Questions

You can expect technical questions from various subjects like sql,microprocessors,algorithms and their complexities etc during CTS interviews. Below are few sample questions (easy) for your practice.

Interview Question 1

Can u tell a simple difference between candidate keys and primary key ?

Answer 1

Both candidate and primary keys uniquely identify a row in a table. However, only one can be chosen as primary key, while there can be many candidate keys.

Interview Question 2

Is semicolon mandatory at the end of a block statement in C ?

Answer 2

No, semicolon is not essential at the end of a block statement. For example, consider a statement of the form if(x==5){...some statements...}
In the above statement, there is no need for semicolon after the closing '}'.

Interview Question 3

Consider there are two programs written respectively using two algorithms A and B. Say A has a complexity of n^2 and the other has a complexity of n/2. Given the same number of inputs which would take longer time to run.

Answer 3

First program written using algorithm A will take longer time. Higher the order of complexity, longer the time taken for execution.

Interview Question 4

How microcontroller is different from microprocessor with respect to hardware and memory requirements ?

Answer 4

Microcontroller, unlike microprocessor, is self contained with necessary hardware like I/O, memory etc embedded to it.

The Top IT Company Solved Placement Papers

Image by Getty Images via @daylifeWipro Type Time & Work Problems

Time & Work is a favourite area considering placement test of any big company like Wipro. You can always expect few questions from time and work section. Though tagged as wipro sample paper, one can expect these kinds of questions in other papers as well.

Question 1

Consider three people A,B and C. Let A and B can finish a job in 21 days, B and C in 14 days and A and C in 28 days. Who will take the least time when working independently ?

Options : 1) A 2) B 3) C 4) Can't be determined

Answer 1

Correct answer is B

Consider WA, WB and WC be the work done per day by A,B and C respectively. Then

WA + WB = 1/21 -- eq 1

WB + WC = 1/14 -- eq 2

WA + WC = 1/28 -- eq 3

Eq 2 - Eq 3 will give

WB - WA = 1/14 - 1/28 = 1/28 -- eq 4

Eq 1 + Eq 4 will give

2WB = 1/21 + 1/28 = 7/84

WB = 7/168

Sub value of WB in eq 1, we get

WA = 1/21 - 7/168 = 1/168.

Sub value of WA in eq 3, we get

wc = 1/28 - WA = 1/28 - 1/168 = 5/168

Since WB (work done by B per day) is greater when compared to WA and WB clearly B will be able to the maximum work on any given day and hence he should consume least amount of time when working independently.

Question 2

Consider two postmen A and B respectively. A is young and can deliver 20 parcels in 3 hours while B is older than A and can deliver only 15 parcels in 4 hours. If the total number of parcels to deliver is 60, how long they will take working together.

a. 121/12 hours b. 144/36 hours c. 144/25 hours d. 121/25 hours

Answer 2

Correct ans is option c. 144/25 hours.

A can deliver 20 parcels in 3 hours. Hence for 1 hour he can deliver 20/3 parcels.
B can deliver 15 parcel in 4 hours. Hence for 1 hour B needs 15/4 parcels.

When A and B work together, for 1 hour they can deliver, 20/3 + 15/4 parcles = 80 + 45 /12 = 125/12 parcels.
Hence to deliver 60 parcels they would require : 60 X 12/125 = 720/125 = 144/25 hours

Question 3

Consider a courier company A which can deliver 100 parcels in 5 days with 5 men working for 8 hours a day. Consider another courier company B where every employee is equally effecient as that of company B. Company B is short of one man when compared to A and has a policy of asking its workers to work only for 6 hours a day. How long (in days) company B will take to deliver 100 parcels.

Options : a. 8.3 b. 24 c. 12 d 6.6

Answer

Correct answer is a. 8.3 days

Total amount of work W = N x D X W

where N = number of men, D = number of days, W = amount of work per day

Applying the above formula for company A we get,

Work done by company A to deliver 100 parcels = 5 X 5 X 8 = 200 -- eq 1

Work done by company B to deliver 100 parcels = 4 X D x 6 = 24D -- eq 2

Since the work to be done is same in both the cases, eq 1 = eq2

or 200 = 24D or D = 8.3



4 Sample TCS Sentence Completion Questions


Dear Reader, sentence completion questions are the ones asking you to find contextually correct words (synonyms) to fill the given blanks. These types of placement questions can be expected on papers of several companies including TCS. Hence it is very essential to develop your vocabulary and the ability to pick the correct word in context.

Question 1

Value of currency started increasing which ultimately kick started __ (a. deflation / b. depreciation / c. disinflation) in economy.

Answer : a. deflation

Reason :Deflation is the term used to denote a fall in prices of goods indicating currency value rise. Though disinflation could appear close in context, it actually means a slow rise in inflation rather than an exact opposite of inflation.

Question 2

The introduction of number zero to mathematics is considered to be one of the greatest __ (a. innovations / b. inventions / c. discoveries) of all times.

Answer: a. innovations

Reason : Innovation means a change that could be considered to have brought a great positive change in some field. Hence innovation fits the context well. However, invention means to invent something new and discovery means to find something unknown.

Question 3

__ (a. incentives / b. bonuses /c. gifts) generally motivate people to carry out tasks in an efficient manner.

Answer: a. Incentives

Reason : Incentive means a motivating factor that encourages people to carry out their tasks efficiently. Though bonuses and gifts closely suit the context, they generally mean only monetary benefits whereas incentive can mean even non monetary benefits like appreciation.

Question 4

___ (a. Idiom / b. Connotation /c. Paradox) refers to words implying different meaning than the actual literal meaning.

Answer : b. Connotation

Reason : Connotation is where words actually mean something but their implied meaning would be different. For example think of the words 'warm reception'.


Wipro Type Conceptual Interview Questions

Dear Reader, in Wipro technical interviews, you may not only expect questions from facts but also you can expect questions asking you to explain the concepts. Below are 3 sample technical interview questions that can be used by you to prepare for Wipro and other similar interviews.

Question 1

In software applications, especially in JAVA based applications, how design patterns help after a problem/requirement is identified ?

Answer 1

Design pattern can be treated as a way or template to solve a problem depending upon the nature of the problem/requirement. Though they themselves cannot solve a problem, they provide greater insights into the best possible ways to solve them.

Question 2

Say two programs essentially dealing with solving same problem through similar algorithms. Let A be written using pointers and B be written using arrays. Which one will be memory efficient and which will be more readable.

Answer 2

A will be more memory efficient than B and B will be more readable than A. Reason : generally pointers are more memory efficient when used by an experienced programmer. And arrays are generally easily readable and can be easily understood by even beginner level programmer.

Question 3

What is the integrity constraint in SQL which when used ensures that values in a column of a table have a corresponding member on another column of another table.

Answer 3

Foreign Key is the answer (self explanatory as the question itself has got the explanation)


TCS Type 3 Facts & Concepts Interview Questions

You could expect questions on TCS interviews asking you to pick and explain a right answer based on the choices presented before you. These types of questions are not only limited to TCS but can be expected on several other companies placements/interviews as well.

Question 1

Which of the C variable qualifiers amongst const and Volatile provides more data safety ? Explain the reason.

Answer 1

const is the qualifier that provides more data security by throwing error when an accidental attempt is made to modify the same.

Question 2

Which is more memory efficient in generic sense - Arrays or Linked Lists ?

Answer 2

Actually, there is no significant difference in memory requirement for arrays and linked lists as both increase with increase in data. (However, linked lists are generally easier to work with dynamic data)

Question 3

Among function declaration and function definition which of the following gives first hand information to the compiler about its return data type and arguments.

Answer 3

Function declaration is the answer, as it precedes function definition. With function declaration, the compiler can get to know about its return data type, the number and type of the arguments etc.
