Ans. 
Given an array of 0s and 1s, find the maximum count of 1s by flipping a sub-array at most once.
• Iterate through the array and keep track of the maximum count of 1s obtained by flipping a sub-array.

• Consider flipping a sub-array from index i to j and calculate the count of 1s in the resulting array.

Q1. Hashmap working
Ans. 
Hashmap is a data structure that stores key-value pairs and allows for fast retrieval of values based on keys.
• Hashmap uses a hashing function to map keys to indices in an array.

• It allows for constant time complexity O(1) for insertion, deletion, and retrieval operations.

• Example: HashMap<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>(); map.put("key", 123); int value = map.get("key");
