Use a max heap to efficiently track the largest number in a stream of bytes.
Initialize a max heap to store the bytes as they are received.
For each byte received, insert it into the max heap.
The largest number can be accessed in O(1) time from the root of the max heap.
To maintain the heap property, the insertion operation takes O(log n) time.
Example: If the stream is [3, 1, 4, 1, 5], the max heap will be structured...
A stack is a linear data structure that follows Last In First Out (LIFO) principle for adding and removing elements.
Elements are added and removed from the top of the stack.
Common operations include push (adding) and pop (removing).
Example: In a stack of plates, you can only add or remove the top plate.
Stacks are used in function call management in programming languages.
They are also used in undo mechanisms in app...

Modified unbounded knapsack problem involves maximizing the value of items with unlimited quantities and weight constraints.
Consider items with values and weights, along with a weight constraint
Dynamic programming can be used to solve this problem efficiently
Examples: Given items with values [60, 100, 120] and weights [10, 20, 30], and a weight constraint of 50, maximize the value
Java's substring method extracts a portion of a string based on specified indices.
The method signature is: String substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex).
Example: 'Hello'.substring(1, 4) returns 'ell'.
If only one parameter is provided, like 'Hello'.substring(2), it returns 'llo'.
Indices are zero-based, meaning the first character is at index 0.
If beginIndex is greater than endIndex, it throws StringIndexOutOfBound...

- Q1. How to find a loop in a Linked List and how to remove it
- Ans.
To find and remove a loop in a Linked List, we can use Floyd's Cycle Detection Algorithm.
Use two pointers, slow and fast, to detect if there is a loop in the Linked List
If the two pointers meet at some point, there is a loop
To remove the loop, set one of the pointers to the head of the Linked List and move both pointers one step at a time until they meet again
The meeting point is the start of the loop, set the next poi...
- Q2. Suppose there is an unsorted array. What will be the maximum window size, such that when u sort that window size, the whole array becomes sorted. Eg, 1 2 6 5 4 3 7 . Ans: 4 (6 5 4 3)
- Ans.
Find the maximum window size to sort an unsorted array.
Identify the longest decreasing subarray from the beginning and longest increasing subarray from the end
Find the minimum and maximum element in the identified subarrays
Expand the identified subarrays until all elements in the array are covered
The length of the expanded subarray is the maximum window size
- Q3. How to find longest last occurring word in a sentence with multiple whitespace
- Ans.
Finding the longest last occurring word in a sentence with multiple whitespace.
Split the sentence into words using whitespace as delimiter
Reverse the list of words

- Q4. What is merge sort and Quick sort. Adv and Disadv of each and which one would u use to sort huge list and Y
- Ans.
Merge sort and Quick sort are sorting algorithms used to sort arrays of data.
Merge sort is a divide and conquer algorithm that divides the input array into two halves, sorts each half recursively, and then merges the sorted halves.
Quick sort is also a divide and conquer algorithm that selects a pivot element and partitions the array around the pivot, sorting the two resulting sub-arrays recursively.
Merge sort has a tim...
- Q5. Define Process &thread

- Q6. What happens when an recursive function is called
- Ans.
A recursive function calls itself until a base case is reached, then returns the result to the previous call.
Each call creates a new instance of the function on the call stack
The function continues to call itself until a base case is reached
Once the base case is reached, the function returns the result to the previous call
The previous call then continues executing from where it left off
- Q7. Solve and code the problem of a ball falling from staircase. Each jump can be of 1 step or 2. Find the number of combination of reaching step N
- Ans.
Code to find number of combinations of reaching step N by ball falling from staircase with 1 or 2 steps per jump.
Use dynamic programming to solve the problem
Create an array to store the number of ways to reach each step
Initialize the array with base cases for steps 0, 1, and 2
Use a loop to fill in the array for steps 3 to N
The number of ways to reach step i is the sum of the number of ways to reach step i-1 and i-2

- Q9. What’s priority queue. How will u make stack and queue with priority queue
- Ans.
Priority queue is a data structure that stores elements with priority levels and retrieves them in order of priority.
Priority queue is implemented using a heap data structure.
Stack can be implemented using a priority queue by assigning higher priority to the most recently added element.
Queue can be implemented using a priority queue by assigning higher priority to the oldest element.
- Q10. Implement stack using queue
- Ans.
Implementing stack using queue involves using two queues to simulate stack behavior.
Create two queues, q1 and q2.
Push operation: Enqueue the element to q1.
Pop operation: Dequeue all elements from q1 to q2 except the last element. Dequeue and return the last element.
Swap the names of q1 and q2 after each pop operation.
Top operation: Return the last element of q1 without dequeuing it.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: He went
through my CV and asked me something about making an android app. (Note: I had
mentioned Android a couple of times in CV) I explained him how a basic app is
made with model (XML) and layout (Java). He told me about connector which
connects model to layout. Then he asked the two questions. For second ques, I gave a N square approach (dynamic).
He suggested a greedy approach of Order N. It was fitting most cases so I wrote
the code on greedy approach. Turned out, greedy wasn’t the solution anyway.
Doesn’t matter. (Note: Boss is always right!!!)
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: He went
through my CV and asked me about my dropped grades in 12th.In third question, interesting part was, he said me to answer only if I knew it. I replied that I know but the definition isn’t totally memorized and he said to let it go then. (PS: Learn basic defs)
Tips: Ans to 5) is Fibonacci and 6) is A is taller than B
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: He
went through my CV and asked my if I had done Intern in Amazon or Training.
Followed by, he asked me why I didn’t get a PPO there. He then asked me, which
subject I m more confident with: Algo types or OS types. I chose algo.
Tips: Keep your cool and code with confidence. Reason I am saying this is because, he was the senior most interviewer and somehow, he knew the art to stress test you.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: 1)
Be honest
2)
Sit with open palms
3)
Don’t cross your hands or legs(if legs can be
visible)
4)
Keep some back stories ready. Use any names, use your friends story anything to make it real. It will go a long way because nobody is
going to verify it.
5)
Most imp, Be confident about yourself. If you r not
sure of yourself, you would be useless to the company.
