The hierarchy of documents in a contract determines the order of precedence in case of conflicts among contract provisions.
1. Master Agreement: The primary document outlining the overall terms (e.g., a partnership agreement).
2. Schedules and Exhibits: Detailed attachments that provide specific information (e.g., pricing schedules).
3. Amendments: Changes made to the original contract, which may supersede earlier te...
Designing a configuration store involves defining requirements, selecting storage, ensuring security, and implementing access controls.
Define requirements: Identify what configurations need to be stored, e.g., application settings, user preferences.
Choose storage solution: Decide between databases (e.g., SQL, NoSQL) or file-based systems (e.g., JSON, XML).
Ensure security: Implement encryption for sensitive data an...
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. Tell about different sorting algorithms and their complexities.
- Q2. Why so many sorting algorithms present where only one can serve the purpose
- Q3. Advantages and disadvantages of quick sort and merge sort
- Ans.
Quick sort is faster on average but merge sort is more stable and guarantees O(n log n) time complexity.
