Q1. 
Kevin and His Cards Problem Statement
Kevin has two packs of cards. The first pack contains N cards, and the second contains M cards. Each card has an integer written on it. Determine two results: the tot...read more
Ans. 
Find total distinct card types and common card types between two packs of cards.
• Create a set to store distinct card types when combining both packs.

• Iterate through each pack and add card types to the set.

• Find the intersection of card types between the two packs to get common card types.

Reversed link...read more
Ans. 
Reverse a singly linked list of integers and return the head of the reversed linked list.
• Iterate through the linked list and reverse the pointers to point to the previous node instead of the next node.

• Use three pointers - prev, current, and next to reverse the linked list in O(N) time and O(1) space complexity.

• Update the head of the reversed linked list as the last node encountered during the reversal process.

Q2. 
Sort 0 1 2 Problem Statement
Given an integer array arr of size 'N' containing only 0s, 1s, and 2s, write an algorithm to sort the array.
Input:
The first line contains an integer 'T' representing the n...read more
Ans. 
Sort an array of 0s, 1s, and 2s in linear time complexity.
• Use three pointers to keep track of 0s, 1s, and 2s while traversing the array.

• Swap elements based on the values encountered to sort the array in-place.

• Time complexity should be O(N) and space complexity should be O(1).
