Remove Character from String Problem Statement
Given a string str and a character 'X', develop a function to eliminate all instances of 'X' from str and return the resulting string.
Input:
The first lin...read more
Ans. Iterative Solution
• We create an empty string that will store our final result. We will return it at the end.
• We iterate from 0 to the length of the string. Say, our loop variable is i. We can then access the ith character as input[i]
• If the ith character equals the character c i.e input[i] == c, then we skip this character and do nothing.
• Else we need to append the character to the output string.
• We finally return the outpu...read more

Q2. Role of java in backend, explain polymorphism in oops, reverse string.
Ans. 
Java is a popular backend language, polymorphism allows objects to be treated as instances of their parent class, reverse string by iterating through characters.
• Java is commonly used in backend development for its robustness and scalability.

• Polymorphism in OOP allows objects to be treated as instances of their parent class, enabling flexibility and reusability.

• To reverse a string, iterate through the characters from th...read more

Q1. 
Cycle Detection in a Singly Linked List
Determine if a given singly linked list of integers forms a cycle or not.
A cycle in a linked list occurs when a node's next points back to a previous node in the ...read more
Ans. 
The task is to determine if a given singly linked list forms a cycle or not.
• A cycle occurs when a node's next points back to a previous node in the list.

• To solve this problem, we can use the Floyd's Cycle-Finding Algorithm.

• The algorithm uses two pointers, one moving at a normal pace and the other moving twice as fast.

• If there is a cycle, the fast pointer will eventually catch up to the slow pointer.

• If the fast pointer ...read more

Minimum Depth of a Binary Tree

Ans. 
The minimum depth of a binary tree is the number of nodes along the shortest path from the root node down to the nearest leaf node.
• The minimum depth can be found by performing a breadth-first search (BFS) traversal of the binary tree

• During the BFS traversal, keep track of the current level and increment the depth by 1 for each level

• Stop the BFS traversal when a leaf node is encountered and return the depth as the minim

Q2. 
Intersection of Two Arrays Problem Statement
Given two arrays A and B with sizes N and M respectively, both sorted in non-decreasing order, determine their intersection.
The intersection of two arrays in...read more
Ans. 
The problem is to find the intersection of two sorted arrays.
• Use two pointers to iterate through the arrays.

• Compare the elements at the current pointers and move the pointers accordingly.

• If the elements are equal, add it to the intersection array and move both pointers.

• If the element in the first array is smaller, move the first pointer.

• If the element in the second array is smaller, move the second pointer.

• Repeat until...read more

Q3. What is the difference between a mutex and a semaphore?
Ans. 
A mutex is a binary semaphore used for mutual exclusion, while a semaphore is a generalized synchronization primitive.
• Mutex is used to protect a critical section of code, allowing only one thread to access it at a time.

• Semaphore is used to control access to a shared resource, allowing multiple threads to access it simultaneously.

• Mutex has ownership, meaning the thread that locks it must unlock it.

• Semaphore does not hav...read more

Q1. Pillar of java with example
Ans. 
Four pillars of Java are Abstraction, Encapsulation, Inheritance, and Polymorphism.
• Abstraction: Hiding implementation details and showing only necessary information.

• Encapsulation: Wrapping data and code into a single unit.

• Inheritance: Acquiring properties and behavior of a parent class by a child class.

• Polymorphism: Ability of an object to take many forms.

• Example: A car is an abstraction of a vehicle, encapsulating its...read more
