Q2. 
0/1 Knapsack Problem Statement
A thief is planning to rob a store and can carry a maximum weight of 'W' in his knapsack. The store contains 'N' items where the ith item has a weight of 'wi' and a value of...read more
Ans. 
Yes, the 0/1 Knapsack problem can be solved using dynamic programming with a space complexity of not more than O(W).
• Use a 1D array to store the maximum value that can be stolen for each weight capacity from 0 to W.

• Iterate through each item and update the array based on whether including the item would increase the total value.

• The final value in the array at index W will be the maximum value that can be stolen.

Ans. 
Rotate a linked list by K positions in a clockwise direction.
• Traverse the linked list to find the length and the last node.

• Connect the last node to the head to form a circular linked list.

• Find the new head by moving (length - K) steps from the last node.

• Break the circular list at the new head to get the rotated linked list.

Ans. 
The task is to sort an array in a wave form, where each element is greater than or equal to its adjacent elements.
• Iterate through the array and swap adjacent elements if they do not follow the wave pattern

• Start from the second element and compare it with the previous element, swap if necessary

• Continue this process until the end of the array

• Repeat the process for the remaining elements

• Return the sorted wave array
