    b.the-object-oriented-design-interview from site
    c. Optional but if you really want to understand in deep about design patterns https://www.amazon.in/Design-Patterns-Erich-Gamma/dp/9332555400/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1WKH7JZ3Q09G4&dchild=1&keywords=design+patterns+erich+gamma&qid=1595087534&sprefix=Eric+gamma+%2Caps%2C311&sr=8-1
