Julia Programming Interview Questions and Answers

What Is Julia?
The Julia is open source programming language was designed from the beginning for high-performance.

Compiled, not interpreted, for speed. Julia is just-in-time (JIT) compiled using the LLVM compiler framework. Julia can approach or match the speed of C.

Julia is dynamic typing with static type benefits, feels like a scripting language, and easy to use.

Julia has a rich language of descriptive data-types, and type declarations can be used to clarify and solidify programs.

The Julia created in 2009 by a four-person team - Jeff Bezanson, Alan Edelman, Stefan Karpinski, and Viral B. Shah.

The Julia was designed for scientific and numerical computation. The Julia first appeared 2012; 7 years ago and the stable release 1.1.0 in 21 January 2019.

Julia’s syntax is very similar to Python, but also expressive and powerful. Python, C, and FORTRAN libraries are just a call away.

Why is Julia a language?
1.      Julia is a new and open source programming language
2.      Easy to use
3.      Julia has attracted some high-profile clients
4.      Dynamic typing with static type benefits
5.      Julia feels like a scripting language


What are the features of Julia?
According to the official website, the main features of the language are:
1.      Very good performance, approaching that of statically-typed languages like C
2.      Dynamic type system: types for documentation, optimization, and dispatch
3.      Multiple dispatches: providing ability to define function behavior across many combinations of argument types
4.      Call C functions directly: no wrappers or special APIs
5.      Call Python functions: use the PyCall package[a]
6.      A built-in package manager
7.      Lisp-like macros and other meta-programming facilities
8.      Powerful shell-like abilities to manage other processes
9.      Designed for parallel and distributed computing
10. Coroutines: lightweight green threading
11. User-defined types are as fast and compact as built-ins
12. Elegant and extensible conversions and promotions for numeric and other types
13. Efficient support for Unicode, including but not limited to UTF-8
14. Automatic generation of efficient, specialized code for different argument types

How to install Julia?
Julia installation is straightforward, several ways for you to run, whether using pre-compiled binaries or compiling from source. Download and install Julia by following the instructions at https://julialang.org/downloads/

Is Julia a good programming language?
1.      Yes! Julia is high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing and has similar syntax as Python.
2.      Easy to use
3.      Julia has attracted some high-profile clients
4.      Julia feels like a scripting language

Is Julia a functional language?
No! Julia is not a functional programming language. Julia offers features that are present in functional programming languages and can be used to a certain degree for coding in a functional programming style.

Is Julia a compiled language?
Yes! Julia is compiled, like C.

Is Julia object oriented?
No! Julia is not object-oriented because there is no inheritance.

Is Julia a scripting language?
Yes! Julia is a scripting language because Julia is an interpreted, embeddable language that features just-in-time (JIT) compilation.

Is Julia statically typed?
No! Julia is always dynamically typed and type annotations do not make it static.

Is Julia replacing python?
I can’t say! Market trend of data science projects are truly based on python.

SOLID Principle - Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)

The SOLID Principles are the design principles that enable us to manage several software design problems. These principles provide us with ways to move from tightly coupled code to loosely coupled and encapsulated real business needs properly. Also readable, adaptable, and scalable code. The SOLID Principles  guide developers as they write readable, adaptable, and scalable code or design an application. The SOLID Principles can be applied to any OOP program. The SOLID Principles were developed by computer science instructor and author Robert C. Martin. Now, SOLID principles have also been adopted in both agile development and adaptive software development. The 5 principles of SOLID are: 1.       Single-Responsibility Principle (SRP) 2.       Open-closed principle (OCP) 3.       Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) 4.       Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) 5.    ...
