What is mutex, semaphore? What is best sorting algorithm, its time complexity? Fibonacci which skips one digit eg: 5!=5x3x1 Exceptional handling Function overriding Inheritance concepts Race condition, life stages of thread A lot of code snippets asking to predict output Birthday Paradox problem How to check if a number can be expressed in powers of 2? Using bitwise op OO model for a college including professor students etc
