11. What is the difference between `mainAxisAlignment` and `crossAxisAlignment` in Flutter layout?

• `mainAxisAlignment` refers to horizontal layout only, and `crossAxisAlignment` refers to vertical layout only.
• `mainAxisAlignment` sets the direction of scrolling, whereas `crossAxisAlignment` sets the scrolling speed.
• `mainAxisAlignment` controls the alignment of children along the main axis, while `crossAxisAlignment` controls the alignment along the cross axis.
• `mainAxisAlignment` is for spacing between elements, and `crossAxisAlignment` is for defining the widget`s size.

12. How do you create a responsive UI in Flutter?

• Use MediaQuery to adapt layouts
• Avoid using responsive design altogether
• Use a single fixed size for all screens
• Create separate versions of the app for each device

13. What are mixins in Dart and how can they be used in Flutter?

• Mixins in Dart are a type of widget that manages app state.
• Mixins in Dart are only used for defining styles in Flutter.
• Mixins in Dart are used to create themes for UI components.
• Mixins in Dart are a way to reuse a class’s methods in multiple class hierarchies.

14. How can you prevent widget rebuilds to optimize performance in Flutter?

• Use the `const` keyword for immutable widgets.
• Use stateful widgets for every UI component.
• Write all UI directly in the build method.
• Avoid using separate widget classes in the layout.

15. Why is it important to follow the widget lifecycle in Flutter?

• It allows for smoother animations and transitions.
• It ensures efficient UI updates and resource management.
• It helps in managing user authentication processes effectively.
• It reduces the number of widgets available for general use.

16. How does Flutter`s `InheritedWidget` facilitate state management?

• It stores data permanently in the app’s memory.
• It provides a way for widgets to access data efficiently.
• It automatically rebuilds the entire app on state change.
• It creates a separate thread for state management.

17. What is the role of the `Navigator` in Flutter routing?

• The Navigator generates random numbers for user input.
• The Navigator creates UI animations for smooth transitions.
• The Navigator manages the app`s routing and navigation state.
• The Navigator handles HTTP requests to fetch data.

18. How can you handle platform-specific code in a Flutter application?

• Write all code in a single file for simplicity.
• Avoid using third-party packages completely.
• Use conditional imports based on the platform.
• Hardcode values for each platform directly.

19. What is the purpose of using `FutureBuilder` in Flutter?

• To return data from an asynchronous source and build widgets accordingly.
• To create static content without updates.
• To display images only in the app.
• To handle all user input directly.

20. How can you leverage Flutter`s `SharedPreferences` for local storage?

• Store large files directly in the app`s folder.
• Store data directly in memory without saving it.
• Use SharedPreferences to store key-value pairs.
