Game AI consists of several sophisticated algorithms, like the classic Min-Max algorithm used in Tic-Tac-Toe, or Alpha-Beta Pruning to eliminate game states which are of lesser value.

2.) How is it possible for you and dozens of other people to play online simultaneously and still have the game feel responsive most of the time? (Hint: - networking, client-server architecture)

1.) I think this might be optimizing problem, where, network engineers and database designers work together to bring the most of the available resources. System Design is one field which is mainly focused by developers of user-end applications.

Choosing the right Client-Server topography and efficient rerouting skills make the game/product to maintain uniformity, hence reducing input lags and irresponsive games, which eventually improves user experience.

As modern planes become more and more automated, with more of their subsystems being controlled by software components, how can you feel safe flying on a machine where a single software bug could jeopardize hundreds of lives? How can we find difficult-to-squash bugs and give guarantees that software is functioning correctly? (Hint: - software reliability, program analysis)

                  1.)   Rigorous testing and quality assurance checks are done to ensure that bugs are not occurred when the user is using the product. New features are added to Dev builds and are tested thoroughly, and then is released to the public.Version control and good contributor community are some key factors which play a role in software reliability.

How come the self-check-in kiosks are so easy to use and much more efficient than waiting in line for people to check you in? You just swipe a credit card, and you're all set! (Hint: - user interface, networking, databases)

1.)   Kiosks have smart scanners which are linked to the global database. Once a user performs a transaction, the details are processed in the cloud, by server-client communication, where the transaction details are processed by the main server and changes are made in the database.Efficiency is brought here by good Database design, along with best practices for securing and making the network fast enough, which helps in improving transaction experience
