🕉 Java & OOPs 🕉
Q: What is Java known for in terms of platform independence?
A: Java is "write once, run anywhere" due to its use of the Java Virtual
Machine (JVM).

Q: Name the four pillars of OOP and briefly explain each.


A: The four pillars are: Encapsulation (data and methods together), Inheritance
(subclass inherits from a superclass), Polymorphism (objects taking multiple
forms), and Abstraction (hiding implementation details).

Q: What is a class, and what are objects in Java?


A: A class is a blueprint, and objects are instances created from that blueprint
to represent real-world entities.

Q: What is a constructor, and how does Java handle object cleanup?


A: Constructors initialize objects (same name as class, no return type). Java
uses garbage collection for object cleanup, so no destructors are needed.

Q: How do access modifiers control class member visibility?


A: Access modifiers (public, protected, default, private) manage which class
members can be accessed from outside the class.

Q: What does inheritance achieve, and what is method overriding/overloading?


A: Inheritance allows subclass to inherit properties from superclass. Method
overriding changes the superclass method in the subclass, while overloading
has methods with the same name but different parameters.

Q: Describe abstraction and the purpose of interfaces.


A: Abstraction hides complexity. Interfaces provide a contract for classes to
follow and enable multiple inheritance.
Q: How does Java handle exceptions, and what are checked and unchecked
exceptions?
A: Exceptions are handled with try-catch blocks. Checked exceptions are
checked at compile time, while unchecked exceptions aren't.

Q: What is the Java Collections Framework, and what are ArrayList and
LinkedList?
A: Java Collections provides ready-to-use data structures. ArrayList is a
resizable array, LinkedList is a doubly-linked list. ArrayList is faster for
random access, LinkedList for frequent insertions/deletions.

Q: Define a thread and explain how to prevent race conditions.


A: Threads are small units of execution. Prevent race conditions with
synchronization techniques like synchronized blocks.

Q: What are Java keywords, and why are they important?


A: Java keywords are reserved words with predefined meanings used in the
language. They are vital for defining syntax and structure in Java programs.

Q: What does the static keyword do in Java?


A: The static keyword is used for class-level variables and methods, making
them accessible without creating an instance of the class.

Q: How is the final keyword used in Java?


A: The final keyword makes variables unchangeable (constants) and prevents
class inheritance or method overriding.

Q: Explain the purpose of the super keyword.


A: The super keyword is used to access superclass members or call the
superclass constructor from a subclass.
Q: What is the Object class in Java?
A: The Object class is the root class of all classes in Java. Every class
implicitly inherits from it.

Q: Differentiate between method overriding and method hiding.


A: Method overriding occurs in subclasses with a changed method
implementation. If a subclass defines a static method with the same signature
as a static method in the super class, in such a case, the method in the subclass
hides the one in the superclass. The mechanism is known as method hiding.

Q: What are packages in Java, and why are they used?


A: Packages group related classes together, providing a namespace to avoid
naming conflicts and better organization of code.

Q: Which access modifiers can be used for top-level classes in Java?


A: Top-level classes can have either public or default (package-private) access
modifiers.

Q: What are the differences between an interface and an abstract class?


A: Interfaces only declare abstract methods and cannot have instance variables,
while abstract classes can have instance variables and concrete methods in
addition to abstract ones.

Q: Explain serialization in Java and how it is achieved.


A: Serialization is the process of converting objects into a byte stream to save
or transmit. It is achieved by implementing the Serializable interface and using
ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream.

Q: What are lambda expressions, and how do they simplify code?


A: Lambda expressions allow the representation of functional interfaces more
concisely, reducing boilerplate code.
Q: Compare StringBuilder and StringBuffer classes in Java.
A: Both classes are used to manipulate strings, but StringBuilder is not
thread-safe, while StringBuffer is.

Q: What are wrapper classes, and why are they used?


A: Wrapper classes convert primitive data types to objects, enabling them to be
used in Java Collections and other classes that require objects.

Q: What is an enum in Java, and how is it used?


A: Enums are special data types that define a set of named constants. They are
useful for representing fixed sets of values.

Q: Define annotations in Java and their purpose.


A: Annotations provide metadata to Java code, allowing developers to add
additional information or instructions to classes, methods, or fields.

Q: Explain Java I/O and the difference between InputStream and Reader,
OutputStream, and Writer.
A: Java I/O deals with input and output operations. InputStream and Reader
are used for reading data, where InputStream deals with byte streams, and
Reader deals with character streams. Similarly, OutputStream and Writer are
used for writing data, where OutputStream deals with byte streams, and Writer
deals with character streams.

What is Java?
Java is a general-purpose programming language that is used for a wide variety
of applications. Java is a compiled language, which means that it is converted

classes that can be instantiated. Abstract classes are used to define the common
behavior of a group of classes. Concrete classes are used to implement the
specific behavior of a particular class.

What is OOPs?
OOPs stands for Object-Oriented Programming. OOPs is a programming
paradigm that models real-world objects as software objects.
What are the benefits of OOPs?
OOPs has a number of benefits, including:
Modularity: OOPs allows code to be broken down into smaller, more
manageable modules.
Reusability: OOPs allows code to be reused across different applications.
Abstraction: OOPs allows code to be hidden from the user, making it easier to
understand and maintain.
Encapsulation: OOPs allows data to be hidden from the user, making it more
secure.
Polymorphism: OOPs allows code to be written in a way that is independent of
the specific type of object being used.

What are the different types of OOPs concepts?


There are a number of different types of OOPs concepts, including:
Classes: Classes are blueprints for creating objects.
Objects: Objects are instances of classes.
Attributes: Attributes are the data that is stored in an object.
Methods: Methods are the actions that can be performed on an object.
Inheritance: Inheritance is the ability of one class to inherit the attributes and
methods of another class.

What is data?
Data is a collection of facts or information, presented in numerical, textual, or
visual forms. It can be raw or processed and is used to gain insights, make
informed decisions, conduct analysis, and draw meaningful conclusions.

What is data structure?


A data structure is a way of organizing and storing data in a computer's
memory or storage system in a manner that enables efficient access,
modification, and manipulation of that data.

Why do we have to learn data structure?


Data structures and algorithms are the foundation of efficient code. By
understanding how data structures work and how to use them effectively, you
can write code that is faster, uses less memory, and is more reliable.

Different types of data structures


Arrays:
An array is a fundamental data structure in computer programming that stores
a collection of elements of the same data type in a contiguous block of
memory. Each element in an array is identified by its position, known as an
index, which starts from zero for the first element. Arrays provide a way to
efficiently store and access a group of related data values under a single
variable name.

Key characteristics of arrays:


Homogeneity: All elements in an array must be of the same data type (e.g.,
integers, floats, characters).

Contiguous Memory: Array elements are stored in adjacent or neighboring


memory locations, which allows for quick and direct access based on the
index.
Fixed Size: Arrays have a fixed size specified when they are declared, and this
size cannot be changed during runtime. The size is determined by the number
of elements the array can hold.

Zero-based Indexing: The index of the first element is 0, the second element
has an index of 1, and so on.

Example of an array:
int numbers [] = {10,20,30,40,50};
sout(numbers[0]) //This will print 10
sout(numbers[1]) //This will print 20
sout(numbers[2]) //This will print 30
sout(numbers[3]) //This will print 40
sout(numbers[4]) //This will print 50

Arrays are used to represent and work with collections of data efficiently.
They are useful in various scenarios like

Storing Lists: Arrays are often used to store lists of items, such as student
scores, temperatures, or names.

Iterating: Arrays provide an easy way to iterate through elements sequentially


using loops.

Random Access: Elements can be accessed in constant time using their


indices, making arrays suitable for random access patterns.

Mathematical Computations: Arrays are used in mathematical computations


and algorithms, like matrix operations.

Sorting and Searching: Many sorting and searching algorithms rely on arrays
for efficient manipulation.

Implementing Data Structures: Arrays serve as the foundation for more


complex data structures like stacks, queues, and matrices.
What is a Linked List:
A linked list is a linear data structure used in computer science to organize and
store a collection of elements, called nodes, where each node contains both
data and a reference (or pointer) to the next node in the sequence. Linked lists
provide a way to dynamically allocate memory for data elements and maintain
a flexible structure, allowing efficient insertion and deletion operations.

Key characteristics of linked lists:

Nodes: Each element in a linked list is represented by a node. A node consists


of two main parts: the data it holds and a reference (pointer) to the next node in
the sequence.

Connection: Nodes are connected in a linear sequence, forming a chain-like


structure.

Dynamic Size: Linked lists can grow or shrink in size during program
execution, unlike arrays that have a fixed size.

Memory Allocation: Nodes are allocated dynamically in memory, allowing


efficient use of memory and avoiding the need to preallocate a large block of
memory.

Insertion and Deletion: Linked lists allow for efficient insertion and deletion
of elements at any position within the list. This is in contrast to arrays, where
insertion and deletion operations might require shifting of elements.

Traversal: To access elements, you start at the head (the first node) and follow
the references to subsequent nodes until the desired element is reached.

Different variations of Linked lists:


Singly Linked List: Each node has a reference pointing to the next node in the
sequence. It forms a unidirectional chain.

Doubly Linked List: Each node has references pointing both to the next node
and the previous node. This allows for efficient traversal in both directions.
And It forms a bidirectional chain.

Circular Linked List: The last node's reference points back to the first node,
creating a circular structure.

What is a stack?
A stack is a linear data structure in computer science that follows the
Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle. It represents a collection of elements where
items are added and removed from the same end, known as the "top" of the
stack. The most recently added element in a stack is the first to be removed,
similar to a stack of plates where you can only add or remove plates from the
top.

Key characteristics of a stack:


Last-In-First-Out (LIFO): The last element added to the stack is the first one
to be removed.

Operations: Stacks support two main operations: "push," which adds an


element to the top of the stack, and "pop," which removes and returns the top
element.

Peek or Top: Another common operation is "peek" or "top," which allows you
to view the top element without removing it.

Dynamic Size: Stacks can grow or shrink in size during program execution.

Fixed End: Elements are added and removed from the same end of the stack,
known as the "top."

Stacks are used in various scenarios, such as:

Function Calls: Stacks are used in programming languages to manage


function calls, storing return addresses and local variables.

Expression Evaluation: Stacks can be used to evaluate arithmetic expressions


and maintain the order of operations.

Backtracking: In algorithms like depth-first search, a stack is used to track the


path and backtrack if necessary.

Undo Operations: Stacks can be used to implement undo functionality in


applications.

Memory Management: Stacks are used for managing memory allocation and
deallocation.
Parsing: Stacks are used in parsing and syntax analysis of programming
languages.

Algorithm:
Insertion: push()
1. Check if the stack is full.
2. If the stack is full, produce an error and exit.
3. If the stack is not full, increments top to point next
empty space.
4. Adds data element to the stack location, where top
is pointing.
5. Returns success.
Deletion: pop()
1. Check if the stack is empty.
2. If the stack is empty, produce an error and exit.
3. If the stack is not empty, access the data element at
which top is pointing.
4. Decreases the value of top by 1.
5. Returns success.

What is Queue?
A queue is a linear data structure in computer science that follows the
First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle. It represents a collection of elements where
items are added at one end, known as the "rear" of the queue, and removed
from the other end, known as the "front" of the queue. In a queue, the element
that has been in the queue the longest is the first one to be removed, similar to
a queue of people waiting in line.

Key characteristics of a queue:

First-In-First-Out (FIFO): The first element added to the queue is the first
one to be removed.

Operations: Queues support two primary operations: "enqueue," which adds


an element to the rear of the queue, and "dequeue," which removes and returns
the front element.

Front and Rear: Elements are added at the rear and removed from the front of
the queue.

Dynamic Size: Queues can grow or shrink in size during program execution.

Queues are used in various scenarios, such as:

Task Scheduling: Queues are used for managing tasks or processes in a


system, where tasks are executed in the order they are enqueued.

Breadth-First Search: In graph algorithms, queues are used in the


breadth-first search to explore nodes level by level.

Print Job Management: Queues are used in managing print jobs in printers.

Buffering: Queues are used for buffering data between processes or


components.

Resource Sharing: Queues can be used to manage access to shared resources


to ensure fair utilization.
What is a tree?
A tree is a hierarchical data structure in computer science that consists of
nodes connected by edges. Each node in a tree has a parent node (except for
the root node) and zero or more child nodes. Trees are widely used for
organizing and representing hierarchical relationships between elements or
data.

Key characteristics of trees:


Root Node: The topmost node of a tree,
which has no parent. It serves as the
starting point for traversing the tree.

Parent and Child Nodes: Each node (except the root) has exactly one parent
node and zero or more child nodes.

Leaf Nodes: Nodes with no children are called leaf nodes. They are the
endpoints of a tree's branches.

Depth: The level of a node in the tree. The root node has a depth of 0, and
each subsequent level increases the depth.

Height: The length of the longest path from a node to a leaf. The height of the
tree is the height of the root node.
Trees are used in various scenarios, such as
Hierarchy Representation: Trees are used to represent hierarchical
relationships, like organizational structures, file systems, and category
hierarchies.

Search and Sorting: Binary search trees allow efficient search, insertion, and
deletion operations. Heaps are used for priority queue operations.

Data Compression: Trees can be used in various compression algorithms, like


Huffman coding.

Graph Algorithms: Trees are a subset of graphs and serve as a foundation for
graph algorithms and traversals.

Mathematical Expressions: Expression trees are used to represent


mathematical expressions for evaluation and manipulation.

Trees come in various types


such as binary trees, binary search trees, AVL trees, and more, each tailored to
specific use cases and requirements.

What is a binary tree?


A binary tree is a type of tree data structure in which each node has at most
two children, referred to as the left child and the right child. It is a hierarchical
structure that is commonly used in computer science for various applications,
including efficient searching, sorting, and organizing data.
What is a binary search tree?
A Binary Search Tree (BST) is a binary tree data structure characterized by its
specific ordering property, designed to facilitate efficient searching, insertion,
and deletion operations. In a BST, each node contains a value, and the nodes
are organized in a way that maintains a consistent hierarchy based on the
values. The fundamental property of a binary search tree is that for every node:
The values of nodes in its left subtree are less than or equal to the value of the
node. The values of nodes in its right subtree are greater than the value of the
node.

What is an AVL
tree?
An AVL tree is a type
of binary search tree
(BST) that
employs a
self-balancing mechanism to ensure efficient search, insertion, and deletion
operations. Named after its inventors Adelson-Velsky and Landis, an AVL tree
is characterized by its ability to maintain a consistent balance between its left
and right subtrees, promoting a logarithmic height and optimal performance.
What is balance factor?
The difference between the heights of the left subtree and the right subtree for
any node is known as the the balance factor.

What is Graph:
A graph is a versatile and fundamental data structure in computer science that
consists of a set of nodes (also called vertices) connected by edges. Graphs are
used to represent relationships between entities and can model a wide range of
real-world scenarios, from social networks to transportation systems and more
complex structures.

Key characteristics of graphs:

Nodes (Vertices): Represent individual entities or objects in the graph.

Edges: Connect pairs of nodes and define the relationships between them.
Edges may have weights or other attributes that provide additional information
about the connection.

Directed vs. Undirected: In an undirected graph, edges have no direction, and


the relationship between nodes is symmetric. In a directed graph (also called a
digraph), edges have a direction, indicating a one-way relationship.
Weighted vs. Unweighted: Edges can be unweighted (no associated values) or
weighted (with values representing a cost, distance, etc.).

Complete graph and Regular graph:

Cycles: A cycle occurs when a sequence of edges returns to the starting node,
forming a closed loop.

Connectedness: A graph can be connected (there's a path between every pair


of nodes) or disconnected (nodes are isolated or grouped into separate
components).

Graphs are used in various scenarios, such as:

Social Networks: Nodes represent individuals, and edges represent


relationships or interactions.

Transportation Networks: Nodes can represent locations (e.g., cities), and


edges represent routes or connections (e.g., roads, flights).

Dependency Resolution: Graphs can model dependencies between tasks or


components.
Recommendation Systems: Graphs can model user-item interactions to make
personalized recommendations.

Circuit Design: Graphs are used in designing electronic circuits.

Web Page Ranking: Graphs model the links between web pages for ranking
algorithms like PageRank.

Data Structures and Algorithms: Graphs serve as the foundation for graph
algorithms, such as breadth-first search, depth-first search, shortest path
algorithms, and more.

What is a heap?
A heap is a specialized and efficient tree-based data structure used to maintain
a collection of elements with specific priority or ordering properties. Heaps are
predominantly employed for managing priority queues, where the highest (or
lowest) priority element can be accessed and removed efficiently.

Key characteristics of a heap:

Priority Property: A heap enforces a particular priority relationship among its


elements. In a max heap, the parent nodes have values greater than or equal to
those of their children, ensuring that the highest-priority element resides at the
root. In a min heap, the parent nodes have values less than or equal to their
children, placing the lowest-priority element at the root.
Tree Structure: Heaps are organized as complete binary trees, meaning all
levels are filled except possibly the last level, which is populated from left to
right. This structural property facilitates efficient storage and manipulation.

Heap Operations: Core operations on heaps include the insertion of elements


while maintaining the heap property, removal of the root element to preserve
the priority order, and retrieval of the root element without removal.

Balancing: Heaps do not necessarily adhere to strict balance rules like AVL
trees or Red-Black trees, but their structural completeness ensures a
balance-like behavior.

Applications of heaps include:

Priority Queues: Heaps are extensively used to implement priority queues,


where elements with higher (or lower) priority are accessible and removed
before elements with lower (or higher) priority.

Sorting Algorithms: Heapsort, a comparison-based sorting algorithm,


employs heaps to achieve efficient sorting by converting an unsorted array into
a heap and repeatedly extracting the root element.

Graph Algorithms: Algorithms like Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm and


Prim's minimum spanning tree algorithm utilize heaps to efficiently prioritize
and process vertices or edges.

Memory Management: Heaps are an integral part of dynamic memory


allocation systems, aiding in allocating and deallocating memory blocks.

Data Compression: In applications such as Huffman coding, heaps assist in


constructing optimal binary trees for character encoding and data compression.

Time and Space Complexity

What is Time Complexity?


Time complexity in computer science measures how an algorithm's execution
time changes when the problem's size gets bigger.It helps us understand how
fast an algorithm is as the input gets larger. In general terms, we can say time
complexity is nothing but the relation between input size and running
time(Operations)

What is Space Complexity?


Space complexity measures how much memory an algorithm requires to
complete its task as the input size grows.

Cases of Time Complexity


Best Case Ω(1):
In computer science, the best-case time complexity is the amount of time an
algorithm takes to run on the input that minimizes the number of steps
required.
Example:
number = 12345
Search for 1.
In this case, we found the 1 in the first position so the number of operations we
need to perform is one and it took one unit of time.

Average Case θ(n+1)/2: The average case time complexity of an algorithm is


defined as the average time it takes to run the algorithm on all possible inputs
of a given size.
number = 23415
Search for 1. We need to perform an average of all inputs, (1+2+3+4+5)/5
if we generalize this
It will be (1+2+3+......n)/n
So n(n+1)/2*n = (n+1)/n

Worst Case O(n):


The worst-case time complexity of an algorithm is the time it takes the
algorithm to run on the input that causes it to take the longest time.
number = 23451
Search for 1.
In this case, to find 1 we need to perform n numbers of operation.
Example of worst-case time complexity:
public class Main{

Public static void main(String[] args){

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);


int n = sc.nextInt();

for(int i = 0; i<n; i++){


for(int j = 0; j<n; j++){
System.out.println(“Hello”);
}
}
}
}

So in this case the outer loop running when


i=0;
i=1;
i=2;
i=3;
i=4;

And j running n times when


i=0; ➡ j=0, j=1, j=2, j=3, j=4
i=1; ➡ j=0, j=1, j=2, j=3, j=4
i=2; ➡ j=0, j=1, j=2, j=3, j=4
i=3; ➡ j=0, j=1, j=2, j=3, j=4
i=4; ➡ j=0, j=1, j=2, j=3, j=4

So here time complexity of this program will be O(n*n) that is O(n)2

What is the time complexity of inserting an element into an array?


The time complexity of inserting an element into an array depends on the
position of the element being inserted. If the element is inserted at the
beginning of the array, the time complexity is O(1). This is because the
element can be inserted without having to shift any of the other elements in the
array. If the element is being inserted at the end of the array, the time
complexity is also O(1). However, if the element is being inserted in the
middle of the array, the time complexity is O(n), where n is the number of
elements in the array. This is because the elements in the array need to be
shifted to make room for the new element.

What is the time complexity of deleting an element from an array?


The time complexity of deleting an element from an array is also O(n), where
n is the number of elements in the array. This is because the elements in the
array need to be shifted to fill in the gap left by the deleted element.

What is the time complexity of searching for an element in an array?


The time complexity of searching for an element in an array depends on the
order of the elements in the array. If the elements are in sorted order, the time
complexity is O(log n). This is because a binary search can be used to search
for the element. If the elements are not in sorted order, the time complexity is
O(n). This is because a linear search must be used to search for the element.

What is the time complexity of pushing an element onto a stack?


The time complexity of pushing an element onto a stack is O(1). This is
because the element can be pushed onto the stack at the end of the stack.

What is the time complexity of popping an element off a stack?


The time complexity of popping an element off a stack is also O(1). This is
because the element can be popped off the stack from the end of the stack.

What is the time complexity of searching for an element in a stack?


The time complexity of searching for an element in a stack is O(N), where N is
the number of elements in the stack. This is because the search algorithm has
to iterate through all the elements in the stack until it finds the element it is
looking for.

What is the time complexity of inserting an element into a queue?


The time complexity of inserting an element into a queue is O(1). This is
because the element can be inserted into the queue at the end of the queue.

What is the time complexity of deleting an element from a queue?


The time complexity of deleting an element from a queue is also O(1). This is
because the element can be deleted from the queue from the front of the queue.

What is the time complexity of searching for an element in a queue?


The time complexity of searching for an element in a queue is O(N) in the
worst case, where N is the number of elements in the queue. This is because
the search algorithm has to iterate through all the elements in the queue until it
finds the element it is looking for.

What is the time complexity of searching for an element in a binary search


tree?
The time complexity of searching for an element in a binary search tree is
O(log n)

What is the time complexity of inserting an element into a binary search


tree?
The time complexity of inserting an element into a binary search tree is O(log
n). This is because the element can be inserted by traversing the tree until the
correct position is found.

What is the time complexity of deleting an element from a binary search


tree?
The time complexity of deleting an element from a binary search tree is O(log
n). This is because the element can be deleted by traversing the tree until the
node containing the element is found. The node can then be deleted by either
merging its children or replacing it with its successor.

What is the time complexity of finding the shortest path between two
vertices in a graph?
The time complexity of finding the shortest path between two vertices in a
graph depends on the algorithm that is used. The Dijkstra algorithm has a time
complexity of O(E log V), where E is the number of edges in the graph and V
is the number of vertices in the graph. The Bellman-Ford algorithm has a time
complexity of O(VE), where V is the number of vertices in the graph and E is
the number of edges in the graph.

What is the time complexity of finding the maximum flow in a graph?


The time complexity of finding the maximum flow in a graph depends on the
algorithm that is used. The Ford-Fulkerson algorithm has a time complexity of
O(VE^2), where V is the number of vertices in the graph and E is the number
of edges in the graph. The Edmonds-Karp algorithm has a time complexity of
O(VE^3), where V is the number of vertices in the graph and E is the number
of edges in the graph.

What is the time complexity of finding an element in a hash?


The time complexity of finding an element in a hash table is O(1) on average,
but it can be O(n) in the worst case.

What is a Confusion Matrix?


A confusion matrix is a table that is used to evaluate the performance of a
machine-learning model on a classification problem.

What I have done in my M.Tech project?

In my M. Tech project my problem statement was “An intelligent weather


prediction system using Machine Learning”. I worked with a labeled dataset
named weather.csv and it was collected from the Kaggle. After collecting the
dataset I preprocessed the data using data manipulation and data visualization.
Basically in this project, I worked with supervised learning and its Multiple
linear Regression model to train and test the data set and predict the weather.

At first, I imported necessary libraries like pandas , numpy, and from


sklearn.linear_model imported LinearRegression

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression

# Load the historical weather data


data = pd.read_csv("weather_data.csv")

# Choose the independent variables


independent_variables = ["temperature", "humidity", "pressure",
"wind_speed", "wind_direction"]

# Choose the dependent variable


dependent_variable = "weather"

# Split the data into training and test sets


X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(data[independent_variables],
data[dependent_variable], test_size=0.25)

# Create the multiple linear regression model


model = LinearRegression()

# Train the model on the training data


model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Make predictions on the test data


predictions = model.predict(X_test)

# Evaluate the model


print(model.score(X_test, y_test))
