Q1. 1. Find the smallestMissingNumber in given array using Bitwise OR operation alone 2. Based on Array data Manipulation.
Ans. 
Using Bitwise OR operation to find the smallest missing number in an array.
• Iterate through the array and perform Bitwise OR operation with each element to set corresponding bit in a bitmask

• Iterate through the bitmask to find the first unset bit, which represents the smallest missing number

• Example: Array [0, 1, 3, 4, 6] would have a bitmask of 10101, smallest missing number is 2

Q1. Add two linked list
Ans. 
To add two linked lists, iterate through both lists simultaneously and add corresponding nodes, considering carry from previous addition.
• Create a dummy node to hold the result.

• Initialize current node to dummy node.

• Iterate through both lists, adding values and carry from previous addition.

• Move to next nodes in both lists.

• Handle cases where one list is longer than the other.

• Handle final carry if present.

Q2. Find shortest path in graph
Ans. 
Use Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path in a graph
• Implement Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path between two nodes in a graph

• Maintain a priority queue to keep track of the shortest distance to each node

• Update the shortest distance to each node as you traverse the graph

• Track the path by storing the previous node for each node visited

Q1. Check tree is BST
Ans. 
Check if a binary tree is a Binary Search Tree (BST)
• Perform an in-order traversal of the tree and check if the resulting array is sorted

• Keep track of the previous node value during traversal to compare with the current node value

• Ensure that each node's value is greater than the previous node's value in the in-order traversal

Q2. Check substring palindrome or not
Ans. 
Check if a substring in an array of strings is a palindrome or not.
• Iterate through each string in the array

• For each string, check if any of its substrings are palindromes

• Return true if a palindrome substring is found, false otherwise

Q2. Check if two stacks are equal
Ans. 
Check if two stacks are equal by comparing each element in the stacks
• Pop elements from both stacks and compare them one by one

• If the sizes of the stacks are different, they are not equal

• If any element in the stacks is different, they are not equal
