- Q1. How you find loop in a linked list
- Ans.

Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm uses two pointers, one moving at twice the speed of the other.
If there is a loop in the linked list, the two pointers will eventually meet.
To detect the meeting point, we reset one of the pointers to the head of the linked list and move both pointers at the same speed.
The meeting point is the start of the loop.
- Q2. What is LRU, MRU and LFU
- Ans.
LRU, MRU and LFU are caching algorithms used to manage memory in computer systems.
LRU stands for Least Recently Used and removes the least recently used items from the cache when the cache is full.
MRU stands for Most Recently Used and removes the most recently used items from the cache when the cache is full.
