Q1. 
Count Inversions Problem Statement
Given an integer array ARR of size N, your task is to find the total number of inversions that exist in the array.
An inversion is defined for a pair of integers in the...read more
Ans. 
Count the total number of inversions in an integer array.
• Iterate through the array and for each pair of elements, check if the conditions for inversion are met.

• Use a nested loop to compare each pair of elements efficiently.

• Keep a count of the inversions found and return the total count at the end.

Ans. 
Find the maximum sum of any contiguous subarray within an array of integers.
• Iterate through the array and keep track of the maximum sum of subarrays encountered so far.

• At each index, decide whether to include the current element in the subarray or start a new subarray.

• Use Kadane's algorithm to solve the problem efficiently.

• Example: For array [34, -50, 42, 14, -5, 86], the maximum subarray sum is 137.

Q1. 
Merge Sort Problem Statement
You are given a sequence of numbers, ARR. Your task is to return a sorted sequence of ARR in non-descending order using the Merge Sort algorithm.
Explanation:
The Merge Sort...read more
Ans. 
Implement Merge Sort algorithm to sort a sequence of numbers in non-descending order.
• Divide the input array into two halves recursively until each array has only one element.

• Merge the sorted halves to produce a completely sorted array.

• Time complexity of Merge Sort is O(n log n).

• Example: Input: [3, 1, 4, 1, 5], Output: [1, 1, 3, 4, 5]

Database questions and discussion about projects

Q1. What is a normal form in database management systems, and can you explain Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF)?
Ans. 
Normal forms in database management systems help in organizing data to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity.
• Normal forms are rules used to design relational database tables to minimize redundancy and dependency.

• Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF) is a stricter version of Third Normal Form (3NF) where every determinant is a candidate key.

• BCNF helps in eliminating anomalies like insertion, update, and deletion anomalie...read more

Q2. What is the difference between the 'WHILE' keyword and the 'HAVING' keyword in SQL?
Ans. 
WHILE is used in loops to repeatedly execute a block of code, while HAVING is used in SQL queries to filter results based on aggregate functions.
• WHILE is used in programming languages like SQL to create loops for executing a block of code multiple times.

• HAVING is used in SQL queries to filter results based on aggregate functions like SUM, COUNT, AVG, etc.

• WHILE is used for iterative operations, while HAVING is used for
