- Q2. What is the Time Complexity of Binary Search and it's derivation
- Ans.
Binary Search has a time complexity of O(log n) and is derived from dividing the search space in half at each step.
Binary Search is a search algorithm that works on sorted arrays.
It starts by comparing the target value to the middle element of the array.
If the target value is smaller, the search continues on the lower half of the array.
If the target value is larger, the search continues on the upper half of the array.

Recursively apply the above steps to the sub-arrays
Combine the sorted sub-arrays to get the final sorted array

- Ans.
Code for Fibonacci Series using Recursion, Iteration and Dynamic Programming
Recursion: Define a function that calls itself with the previous two numbers in the series as arguments
Iteration: Use a loop to calculate the series by adding the previous two numbers in each iteration
Dynamic Programming: Store the previous two numbers in variables and use them to calculate the next number in the series
- Q5. How to implement an operation with Stacks which will be similar to Queue

Calculate the cumulative sum of the counts
Place each element in the sorted array based on its count and cumulative sum
Time complexity is O(n+k) where n is the number of elements and k is the range of input

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: First Question, at the start I was not able to answer and he gave me an hint(He asked me the insertion in an array). So, I got the idea for the insertion in Linked List and was able to answer it.
Remaining questions, I was able to answer confidently.
Tips: Take your own time in answering a question and be clear over your answer before telling about the code that you have written.
If you don't know an answer for some question, just keep telling him simple cases(which are valid), so that the interviewer will sometimes try to guide you through the solution.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I was able to answer all the questions confidently, since I know the answers for them, But the last question was out of my scope and I explained based on my intuition and knowledge.

- Q1. Implement queue with the help of two stacks
- Ans.
Queue can be implemented using two stacks by maintaining the order of elements in the stacks.
Create two stacks, let's call them stack1 and stack2
When an element is enqueued, push it to stack1
When an element is dequeued, pop all elements from stack1 and push them to stack2
Pop the top element from stack2 and return it as the dequeued element
If stack2 is empty, repeat step 3

- Q3. What is left join. Give example. And Full outer join?
- Ans.
Left join returns all records from left table and matching records from right table. Full outer join returns all records from both tables.
Left join is used to combine two tables based on a common column.
In left join, all records from the left table are returned along with matching records from the right table.
If there is no match in the right table, NULL values are returned.
Example: SELECT * FROM table1 LEFT JOIN table...
- Q4. What is magic functions and autoloading in PHP?
- Ans.
Magic functions are special methods in PHP that start with __. Autoloading is a way to automatically load classes.
Magic functions are used to handle certain events in PHP, such as object creation or property access.
Autoloading allows PHP to automatically load classes when they are needed, without requiring manual includes.
Magic functions can be used in conjunction with autoloading to dynamically load classes or handle

- Ans.
Given three sorted arrays, find common elements.
Create three pointers to traverse each array
Compare the elements at the pointers and move the pointer of the smallest element
If all pointers point to the same element, add it to the result and move all pointers

- Q6. A puzzle. You will be given with a 3 Litre container & a 7 Litre Container. Measure exactly 5 Litres of water
- Q7. Asked about one of my projects I mentioned in my resume?
- Q8. Find if a number is a power of 2 or not?
- Ans.
Check if a number is a power of 2 or not.
A power of 2 has only one bit set in its binary representation.
Use bitwise AND operator to check if the number is a power of 2.
If n is a power of 2, then n & (n-1) will be 0.
