Data structure, algorithms, optimization, and analysis

..Programming Languages: What programming languages are you most comfortable with, and why? Can you explain the differences between object-oriented programming and functional programming? Data Structures and Algorithms: Explain the difference between an array and a linked list. When would you use one over the other? Implement a basic sorting algorithm (e.g., bubble sort, quicksort) and explain its time complexity. Software Development: Describe the software development lifecycle. Which phase do you find most crucial and why? How do you handle version control in your projects? Which tools are you familiar with? Problem-solving: Given an array, write a function to find the two elements that sum up to a specific target. Solve a problem using recursion (e.g., factorial calculation, Fibonacci sequence).
