Q1. 
Distinct Elements in K-Sized Windows
The task is to determine the number of distinct elements in every sliding window of size 'K' across an array 'ARR' of size 'N'. A 'K' sized window is a contiguous sequ...read more
Ans. 
Calculate the count of distinct elements in each sliding window of size 'K' across an array 'ARR'.
• Use a sliding window approach to iterate through the array and keep track of distinct elements using a hashmap or set.

• Update the count of distinct elements in each window as it slides across the array.

• Return the array detailing the count of distinct elements in each 'K' sized window for each test case.

Q1. Find the memory of the given structure (Struct padding is the hint)
Ans. 
The question asks to find the memory of a given structure by considering struct padding.
