Q1. 
Bubble Sort Problem Statement
Sort the given unsorted array consisting of N non-negative integers in non-decreasing order using the Bubble Sort algorithm.
Input:
The first line contains an integer 'T' r...read more
Ans. 
Bubble Sort algorithm is used to sort an array of non-negative integers in non-decreasing order.
• Implement the Bubble Sort algorithm to sort the array in place.

• Compare adjacent elements and swap them if they are in the wrong order.

• Repeat this process until the array is sorted.

• Time complexity of Bubble Sort is O(n^2) in the worst case.

• Example: For input [6, 2, 8, 4, 10], the output should be [2, 4, 6, 8, 10].

Graph Coloring Problem
You are given a graph with 'N' vertices numbered from '1' to 'N' and 'M' edges. Your task is to color this graph using two colors, such as blue and red, in a way that no two adjacen...read more
Ans. 
Given a graph with 'N' vertices and 'M' edges, determine if it can be colored using two colors without adjacent vertices sharing the same color.
• Use graph coloring algorithm like BFS or DFS to check if the graph can be colored with two colors without conflicts.

• Check if any adjacent vertices have the same color. If so, it is not possible to color the graph as described.

• If the graph has connected components, color each co...read more

Ans. 
Detect cycles in an undirected graph.
• Use Depth First Search (DFS) to detect cycles in the graph.

• Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited vertices.

• If a visited vertex is encountered again during DFS, a cycle exists.

• Check for cycles in each connected component of the graph.

• Consider edge cases like disconnected graphs and self-loops.

Ans. 
Count the number of islands in a 2D matrix of 1s and 0s.
• Use depth-first search (DFS) to traverse the matrix and identify connected groups of 1s.

• Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited cells to avoid redundant traversal.

• Increment the island count each time a new island is encountered.

Q1. Can you explain Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs)?
Ans. 
BJTs are three-terminal semiconductor devices used for amplification and switching of electronic signals.
• BJTs have three regions - emitter, base, and collector.

• They can be NPN or PNP type, depending on the arrangement of semiconductor materials.

• BJTs are current-controlled devices, where a small current at the base terminal controls a much larger current between the collector and emitter.

• Common BJT examples include 2N22...read more

Ans. 
Graph coloring problem where vertices need to be colored with two colors such that no adjacent vertices share the same color.
• Check if the graph can be colored using two colors without any adjacent vertices sharing the same color.

• Use graph coloring algorithms like Greedy Coloring or Backtracking to solve the problem.

Q1. Can you explain in detail about Stacks and Graphs?
Ans. 
Stacks are data structures that follow the Last In First Out (LIFO) principle, while Graphs are data structures that consist of nodes and edges to represent relationships.
• Stacks are used for implementing functions, backtracking, and expression evaluation.

• Graphs are used for representing networks, social connections, and shortest path algorithms.

• Stacks can be implemented using arrays or linked lists.

• Graphs can be direct...read more

Ans. 
Find all possible paths for a rat in a maze from start to finish.
• Use backtracking to explore all possible paths in the maze.

• At each cell, check if it is a valid move and mark it as part of the path.

• Explore all four directions (up, down, left, right) recursively.
