A Software Engineer was asked
Q. What is the difference between a stack and a queue? Give an example where you would use each.
Ans. 

A stack is a LIFO data structure while a queue is a FIFO data structure.

  • Stack: Last In First Out (LIFO), used in undo/redo functionality, backtracking, and recursion.

  • Queue: First In First Out (FIFO), used in job scheduling, breadth-first search, and printing.

  • Stack uses push() and pop() operations while queue uses enqueue() and dequeue() operations.

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. Given a binary tree, return the zigzag level order traversal of its nodes' values. (i.e., from left to right, then right to left for the next level and alternate between).
Ans. 

Zigzag traversal of a binary tree is a way of traversing the tree in a zigzag pattern.

  • Use a stack to keep track of nodes to be visited.

  • For each level, alternate between adding nodes to the stack from left to right and right to left.

  • Pop nodes from the stack and add their children to the stack in the appropriate order.

  • Repeat until all nodes have been visited.

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. Given a linked list, reverse it. Provide solutions for both O(1) and O(N) space complexity, where N is the size of the linked list.
Ans. 

Reverse a given Linked List with O(1) and O(N) space complexity.

  • For O(1) space complexity, use three pointers to reverse the links in place.

  • For O(N) space complexity, use a stack to store the nodes and then pop them to create the reversed list.

  • Be careful with edge cases such as empty list or list with only one node.

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. Given a dictionary with {Key, Value} as {String, Integer}, how would you sort it in ascending/descending order according to: 1) Key and 2) Value?
Ans. 

Sort a dictionary by key or value in ascending/descending order.

  • Use sorted() function with lambda function to sort by key or value.

  • For ascending order, use reverse=False and for descending order, use reverse=True.

  • Example: sorted_dict = sorted(dictionary.items(), key=lambda x: x[0], reverse=True)

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. Given N non-negative integers representing an elevation map where the width of each bar is 1, compute how much water it is able to trap after raining.
Ans. 

Compute amount of water trapped in an elevation map after raining

  • Iterate through the array and find the maximum height on the left and right of each bar

  • Calculate the amount of water that can be trapped on each bar using the difference between the minimum of the two maximum heights and the height of the bar

  • Add up the amount of water trapped on each bar to get the total amount of water trapped

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. In a party of N people, only one person is known to everyone. Such a person may be present in the party, if yes, (s)he doesn't know anyone in the party. Find this celebrity if present.
Ans. 

Find the celebrity in a party of N people where only one person is known to everyone.

  • The celebrity doesn't know anyone in the party.

  • We can use a stack to keep track of potential celebrities.

  • If a person knows someone, they cannot be a celebrity.

  • If a person doesn't know someone, we can push them onto the stack.

  • After iterating through all people, we check if the stack has only one person and if that person is known t...

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. Explain in detail the working behind the algorithms of Merge Sort and Quick Sort.
Ans. 

Merge Sort and Quick Sort are sorting algorithms that use divide and conquer approach.

  • Merge Sort divides the array into two halves, sorts them recursively, and then merges them.

  • Quick Sort selects a pivot element, partitions the array around the pivot, and recursively sorts the sub-arrays.

  • Merge Sort has a worst-case time complexity of O(nlogn), while Quick Sort has an average case time complexity of O(nlogn).

  • Merge ...

  • Q1. What is the difference between a stack and a queue? Give an example where you would use each.
  • Ans. A stack and a queue are both abstract data types used to store and manage collections of elements, but they differ in the way elements are inserted and removed from them. In a stack, the last element added is the first element to be removed. This is known as Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) behavior. You can think of a stack as a pile of books where the last book added to the pile is the first one to be removed. On the other...

GF salary Vs. My salary
Me and my gf have been dating for 5 years. Back in 2020, I started my career with a package of ₹5 LPA. Over the years, I’ve reached ₹22 LPA in 2025. She started her journey with ₹3 LPA(2020) and is now earning ₹8 LPA(2025). We’ve been in a live-in relationship for around 2 years, and the idea was to share expenses equally. But, equal sharing never really happened. If we go to a café she likes, especially with friends, I will pay the entire bill. We only split the house rent and grocery bills. I told her lots of time to cut down these costly cafe expenses or earn more money, increase your package, study and work hard, but.....she is now in her comfort zone. Being from a tech background, I have seen people upgrade their skills and package for a good life in metro cities. I am ready to support her in her studies, but she is like I am earning enough for myself.... No, you are not. I love her, but I don't know how to overcome this issue between us. Please suggest!
