    You are given D dice, each having F faces numbered 1 to F, both inclusive. The task is to find the possible number of ways to roll the dice together such that the sum of face-up numbers equal t...

  • Ans. Brute force
    1. The idea is to use recursion to reduce the big problem into several small subproblems.
    2. We will call a helper function that returns us the number of combinations that sum upto S and store it in a variable say answer.
    3. The algorithm for the helper function will be as follows: 

      Int helper(D, F, S):
      A. If D as well as S becomes 0, return 1.
      B. If D becomes 0 or S becomes negative, return 0.
      C. Initialise a count v...

    Implement a Stack Data Structure specifically to store integer data using two Queues.

    There should be two data members, both being Queues to store the data internally. You may use the i...

  • Ans. Approach 1
    • This method ensures that every new element entered in the queue ‘q1’ is always at the front.
    • Hence, during pop operation, we just dequeue from ‘q1’.
    • For this, we need another queue ‘q2., which is used to keep every new element to the front of ‘q1’.
    • During push operation :
      • Enqueue new element ‘x’ to queue ‘q2’.
      • One by one, dequeue everything from ‘q1’ and enqueue to ‘q2’.
      • Swap the names of ‘q1’ and ‘q2’.
    • During pop o...

    You are given an array (ARR) of length N, consisting of integers. You have to find the sum of the subarray (including empty subarray) having maximum sum among all subarrays.

    A subar...

  • Ans. Brute Force Approach

    Let us check for all possible subarrays of the array. For this, we run two loops, where the outer loop points to the left boundary and the inner loop points to the outer boundary of the subarray. 

    Using another loop inside, find the sum of this subarray. Compare it with the maximum subarray sum obtained so far. After checking all the subarrays, simply return the maximum sum found.

  • Q2. What is the internal working mechanism of a HashMap?
  • Ans. 

    HashMap is a data structure that stores key-value pairs and uses hashing to quickly retrieve values based on keys.

    • HashMap internally uses an array of linked lists to store key-value pairs.

    • When a key-value pair is added, the key is hashed to determine the index in the array where the pair will be stored.

    • If multiple keys hash to the same index (collision), a linked list is used to store these pairs.

    • To retrieve a value, t...
