Find pairs in a list of integers that sum to a specified target value.
Use a hash map to store numbers and their indices for quick lookup.
Iterate through the list and check if (target - current number) exists in the hash map.
Example: For list [1, 2, 3, 4] and target 5, pairs are (1, 4) and (2, 3).
Consider edge cases like duplicates and negative numbers.
The start point of a linked list is the first node in the list.
The start point is typically referred to as the 'head' of the linked list.
It is the entry point for traversing the linked list.
Example: In a linked list with nodes A -> B -> C, A would be the start point.
A linked list is a data structure where each element points to the next element in the sequence.
Create a Node class with data and next pointer
Initialize a head pointer to the first node
Traverse the list by following the next pointers
Insert and delete nodes by updating pointers accordingly
Primary annotations in Java are metadata that provide information about the program but do not affect its execution.
Annotations are defined using the '@' symbol, e.g., @Override.
They can be used for documentation, code analysis, and runtime processing.
Common primary annotations include @Deprecated, @Override, and @SuppressWarnings.
Custom annotations can be created using the 'annotation' keyword, e.g., @interface M...
A qualifier in Java is a keyword used to specify additional information about a variable or method.
Qualifiers include 'final', 'static', 'abstract', 'public', 'private', 'protected', etc.
They are used to define the behavior and access level of variables and methods.
For example, 'final' qualifier makes a variable constant and 'static' qualifier allows a method to be called without creating an instance of the class.
View binding simplifies UI interactions in Android by providing type-safe access to views.
View binding is enabled in the build.gradle file: 'android { viewBinding { enabled = true } }'
It generates a binding class for each XML layout file, e.g., 'ActivityMainBinding' for 'activity_main.xml'.
Access views directly using the binding object, e.g., 'binding.textView.setText('Hello World!')'.

Code to find the maximum time occupied room given meeting slots.
Sort the meeting slots based on start time.
Iterate through the sorted slots and keep track of the maximum occupied time.
Check for overlapping slots and update the maximum occupied time accordingly.
Design a data pipeline to ingest data from streaming sources.
Identify the streaming sources and their data formats
Choose a streaming platform like Apache Kafka or AWS Kinesis
Design the pipeline architecture with data ingestion, processing, and storage components
Ensure scalability, fault-tolerance, and data consistency
Monitor and optimize the pipeline performance
Row and columnar file formats in Hive differ in the way data is stored and accessed.
Row format stores data in a row-by-row manner, while columnar format stores data in a column-by-column manner.
Row format is suitable for OLTP workloads, while columnar format is suitable for OLAP workloads.
Columnar format allows for faster query performance and compression, while row format allows for faster inserts and updates.

Other methods of linked list include doubly linked list, circular linked list, and sorted linked list.
Doubly linked list: Each node has a reference to the next and previous node.
Circular linked list: Last node points back to the first node, forming a circle.
Sorted linked list: Nodes are arranged in a sorted order based on a specific criteria.
The start point of a linked list is the first node in the list.
The start point is typically referred to as the 'head' of the linked list.
It is the entry point for traversing the linked list.
Example: In a linked list with nodes A -> B -> C, A would be the start point.

Code for singleton design pattern, binary search, and finding minimum number of coins needed
For singleton design pattern, create a private static instance variable and a private constructor
For binary search, divide the array in half and compare the middle element with the target
For finding minimum number of coins, use dynamic programming and iterate through the denominations
