Efficiently finding the median from a stream of integers requires maintaining a balanced data structure for dynamic data.
Use Two Heaps: Maintain a max-heap for the lower half and a min-heap for the upper half of the numbers to efficiently find the median.
Insertion: When a new number is added, decide which heap to insert it into based on its value relative to the current medians.
Balancing Heaps: After each insertio...
Sort an array of strings based on a user-defined order.
Define the custom order as a string, e.g., 'cba'.
Create a mapping of characters to their indices for quick lookup.
Use a sorting function that utilizes the mapping to sort the array.
Example: For array ['a', 'b', 'c'] and order 'cba', the result should be ['c', 'b', 'a'].
A copy constructor creates a new object as a copy of an existing object, ensuring proper resource management.
A copy constructor is a special constructor in C++ that initializes an object using another object of the same class.
Syntax: ClassName(const ClassName &obj) { /* copy data */ }
Used for deep copying when an object contains pointers to dynamically allocated memory.
Example: If class A has a pointer, the co...
Allocating memory for a vector involves reserving space for its elements to optimize performance and avoid reallocations.
Use `std::vector<Type> vec;` to declare a vector.
To allocate memory, use `vec.reserve(size);` to set capacity without changing size.
Example: `vec.reserve(10);` reserves space for 10 elements.
To initialize with a specific size, use `std::vector<Type> vec(size);`.
Example: `std::vector&...
Determine the minimum number of platforms required for a train station to avoid delays during peak arrival times.
Identify the arrival and departure times of trains.
Sort the arrival and departure times.
Use a two-pointer technique to track the number of platforms needed.

Example: For arrivals [10:00, 10:15, 10:30] and departures [10:10,...
Merge overlapping intervals in a list to create a consolidated list of intervals.
Sort the intervals by their start time. Example: [[1,3],[2,6],[8,10],[15,18]] becomes [[1,3],[2,6],[8,10],[15,18]].
Initialize an empty list to hold merged intervals.
Iterate through the sorted intervals and compare the current interval with the last merged interval.
If they overlap (current start <= last end), merge them by updating ...
A virtual table is a mechanism used in object-oriented programming to support dynamic method resolution for polymorphism.
Virtual tables (vtables) store pointers to virtual functions of a class.
Each class with virtual functions has its own vtable.
When an object is created, it holds a pointer to its class's vtable.
Example: In C++, if class A has a virtual function, derived class B can override it, and the vtable wil...
A FIFO checker is a verification component used to monitor and validate the behavior of a First-In-First-Out buffer in a design.

Check that the data is read out in the same order it was written in
Verify that the FIFO buffer does not overflow or underflow
Use assertions to flag any violations of FIFO behavior
Example: Monitor the write a...
C++ is a powerful, high-performance programming language with features like OOP, templates, and memory management.
C++ supports Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) with classes and inheritance. Example: class Base { ... }; class Derived : public Base { ... };
C++ allows operator overloading, enabling custom behavior for operators. Example: class Complex { public: Complex operator+(const Complex& other) { ... }; };
...
Virtual functions allow a function to be overridden in a derived class, enabling polymorphic behavior.
Virtual functions are declared in a base class with the 'virtual' keyword.
They are meant to be overridden in derived classes to provide specific implementations.
When a virtual function is called through a base class pointer or reference, the actual function to be executed is determined at runtime based on the obje...

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status.
