Essential Concepts in Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning
Data Analytics Life Cycle in Big Data
Discovery
Goal: Understand the problem and define objectives. Identify business challenges, determine project scope and potential value, and assess available resources (data, tools, skills). Understand data sources and feasibility.
Example: A retail company wants to improve sales forecasting using big data analytics.
Data Preparation
Goal: Collect, clean, and organize the data. Gather data from various sources (structured, semi-structured, unstructured). Clean and
Python Hash Tables: Chaining vs. Linear Probing
Introduction to Hash Tables
Hash tables are fundamental data structures that store key-value pairs. They provide efficient data retrieval, insertion, and deletion operations. The core idea behind a hash table is to use a hash function to map keys to indices (or “buckets”) in an array. However, different keys can sometimes map to the same index, leading to a collision. Resolving these collisions is crucial for the hash table’s performance.
Collision Resolution Strategies

Core JDBC Concepts and Usage
JDBC Query Methods: executeQuery() vs. executeUpdate()
The method executeQuery() is used when you want to retrieve data from the database, typically using a SELECT statement. It returns a ResultSet object which contains the data returned by the query.
Example:
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM users");
while (rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getString("username"));
}The method executeUpdate() is used for SQL statements that change the data in the
Mathematical Transforms for Signal Analysis
Fourier Series vs. Fourier Transform
Great question! Fourier Series and Fourier Transform are both mathematical tools used to analyze signals, but they serve different purposes.
- Fourier Series: This is used to represent a periodic function as a sum of sines and cosines. It decomposes a repeating signal into its frequency components. Essentially, if you have a function that repeats over time, the Fourier Series breaks it down into simpler waves.
- Fourier Transform: This, on the other hand, is used for

Computer Network Definition & OSI Model Openness
A computer network is a group of two or more interconnected computers that can communicate and share resources such as files, printers, applications, or internet access. The main goal of a network is to enable data sharing and communication between devices.
The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model is called “open” because it was developed as a universal, standardized framework that is not tied to any specific vendor, product, or technology.
