# JBattle

> JBattle is a free, real-time multiplayer quiz app. Create or join a quiz in seconds, challenge friends, and play online quiz games right in your browser — with fresh questions on any topic, live leaderboards, streaks and ELO ranks. No download and no sign-up to start.

JBattle runs entirely in the browser at https://jbattle.in. A host opens a private room and shares a code; everyone answers the same timed questions at once while a live leaderboard updates in real time. Questions are generated for any topic you type, and solo modes — the Daily Challenge, the Mastery Forge (adaptive spaced-repetition learning) and mock interviews for technical and HR practice — help you learn as you play.

- [Learn hub](https://jbattle.in/learn): All learning tracks on JBattle - DSA, core computer science, languages and interview preparation.

### Data Structures & Algorithms
- [Data Structures & Algorithms](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa): A structured DSA course covering arrays, strings and hashing — memory layout, complexity, and the two-pointer, sliding-window, prefix-sum and counting patterns behind most interview questions.

#### Arrays
- [Arrays](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/arrays): Learn how arrays work in memory, what each operation really costs, and the two-pointer, sliding-window and prefix-sum patterns that solve most array interview questions.
- [Memory layout](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/arrays/memory-layout): Why array access is O(1): contiguous memory, fixed element size, and the base + index x size address formula, with a worked example.
- [Traversal & operations](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/arrays/traversal-and-operations): Declare and traverse arrays in Java, Python, C++ and JavaScript, and learn the exact time complexity of access, search, insert and delete.
- [Two pointers](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/arrays/two-pointers): Learn the two pointer technique with a step-by-step dry run: converging pointers on a sorted array, the fast/slow variant, and when it applies.
- [Sliding window](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/arrays/sliding-window): Fixed and variable sliding windows with worked code: reuse the previous window's answer instead of recomputing it, and turn O(n x k) into O(n).
- [Prefix sum](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/arrays/prefix-sum): Build a prefix sum array to answer any range-sum query in O(1), and use the prefix + hash map trick to count subarrays with a given sum.

#### Strings
- [Strings](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/strings): Understand string immutability and why concatenation in a loop is O(n squared), then work through the palindrome, anagram and pattern-matching questions interviewers actually ask.
- [Immutability & cost](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/strings/immutability-and-cost): Why strings are immutable, why building one in a loop is O(n squared), and how StringBuilder, join and rope-style buffers fix it.
- [Palindromes & anagrams](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/strings/palindromes-and-anagrams): Solve palindrome checks with two pointers and anagram checks with frequency counting, including the expand-around-centre technique.
- [Pattern matching](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/strings/pattern-matching): How substring search works: the naive O(n x m) scan, why it repeats work, and how the KMP prefix table brings it down to O(n + m).

#### Hashing
- [Hashing](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/hashing): How hash tables achieve average O(1) lookup, how collisions are resolved with chaining and open addressing, and the frequency-counting patterns that use them.
- [How hash tables work](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/hashing/hash-table-internals): Hash functions, buckets, load factor, and the two ways collisions are resolved — separate chaining and open addressing — with their real complexities.
- [Frequency counting](https://jbattle.in/learn/dsa/hashing/frequency-counting): The counting, seen-before and group-by patterns that hash maps make O(n), with worked code for each and the array-instead-of-map optimisation.

### CS Core
- [CS Core](https://jbattle.in/learn/cs-core): Core computer science for placement interviews: object-oriented programming with real code, composition over inheritance, database normalisation and how indexes decide query speed.

#### OOPs Concepts
- [OOPs Concepts](https://jbattle.in/learn/cs-core/oops): Encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance and polymorphism explained with code, plus the composition-over-inheritance rule and the SOLID principles that follow from it.
- [The four pillars](https://jbattle.in/learn/cs-core/oops/four-pillars): Encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance and polymorphism with real code, and the concrete problem each one solves.
- [Inheritance vs composition](https://jbattle.in/learn/cs-core/oops/inheritance-vs-composition): Why deep inheritance hierarchies break, how composition fixes them, and the practical rule for choosing between is-a and has-a.
- [Polymorphism in practice](https://jbattle.in/learn/cs-core/oops/polymorphism-in-practice): How dynamic dispatch actually works with virtual tables, what abstract classes and interfaces each give you, and how polymorphism removes conditional chains.

#### DBMS & SQL
- [DBMS & SQL](https://jbattle.in/learn/cs-core/dbms): Learn database normalisation up to 3NF and how indexes really work — B-trees, when an index is skipped, and how to read the cost of a query.
- [Normalisation](https://jbattle.in/learn/cs-core/dbms/normalization): Normalisation up to 3NF with one table refactored step by step, plus the anomalies each normal form removes and when to denormalise.
- [Indexes & query cost](https://jbattle.in/learn/cs-core/dbms/indexes-and-query-cost): B-tree indexes, composite index column order, the leftmost prefix rule, and the common mistakes that make a database ignore your index entirely.

### Languages
- [Languages](https://jbattle.in/learn/languages): Language-specific interview preparation: the JVM memory model, garbage collection, pass-by-value semantics and how to choose between Java's collection implementations.

#### Java
- [Java](https://jbattle.in/learn/languages/java): Learn how the JVM divides memory between stack and heap, what garbage collection really guarantees, and how to choose between Java's collection implementations.
- [JVM memory model](https://jbattle.in/learn/languages/java/jvm-memory-model): How the JVM splits memory between stack and heap, what pass-by-value really means in Java, and what garbage collection does and does not guarantee.
- [Collections framework](https://jbattle.in/learn/languages/java/collections-framework): ArrayList vs LinkedList, HashMap vs TreeMap vs LinkedHashMap, HashSet vs TreeSet — with the complexities and the interview answers behind each choice.
