Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I am from biotechnology stream so I was basically given a grill interview as to why am I keen on joining an IT firm. I did not give in. I retaliated at every point in a decent polite justifiable manner.
I was asked data structures- binary tree printing steps, pattern printing and a few other questions.
I was asked to prove that 2+2 equals to 4 which I did(I had practiced the same question..so go through puzzles online)
I was asked questions on team leaderships skills as I has mentioned that I am a team leader and a team player keeping in mind my position as the college society's head leader.
He was not quite agreeing with my solutions( even though I was write I knew)...so I did answer a little way too firmly and that is when he stopped grilling me on that...it was a 40 minute long interview when others were being down off in 15 minutes.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Mar 2015

What is difference between JDK,JRE and JVM?
JVM
JVM is an acronym for Java Virtual Machine, it is an abstract machine which provides the runtime environment in which java bytecode can be executed. It is a specification.
JVMs are available for many hardware and software platforms (so JVM is platform dependent).
