Q1. Longest Common Subsequence
Given two strings, 'S' and 'T' with lengths 'M' and 'N', find the length of the 'Longest Common Subsequence'.
For a string 'str'...read more
Ans. Memoization
Let the two strings be x and y. 
Let x(i) be the substring of x from index 0 to index i. 
Let c[i, j] be the length of the longest common subsequence of strings x(i) and y(j).
Then the recurrence relation to find c[i, j] is as follows:
We can use this relation to write a simple recursive program but instead of recomputing the results of subproblems, compute them just once and store their results in a l...read more

Q1. Car Pooling
You are working as a cab driver. Your car moves in a straight line and moves toward the forward direction only. Initially, you have ‘C’ empty seats for the passengers.
Now, you are given ‘N’ ...read more
Ans. Hash Map Implementation
The simple idea is that we will keep a record of the number of passengers changed at every time in a hash map ‘passengers’ where the key represents the time at which the number of passengers changed and the value at that key represents the count of passengers changed. 
 
For Example- If we have trips = [ 2, 1,4 ], [ 2, 2,5 ] then at time = 1, no of passengers changed and increased by 2. S...read more

All the interviewers were very friendly no pressure.

Q1. Nth Fibonacci Number
Nth term of Fibonacci series F(n), where F(n) is a function, is calculated using the following formula -
    F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2), 
    Where, F(1) = F(2) = 1
Provided N you have...read more
Ans. Recursive Approach
• In this approach, we use recursion and uses a basic condition that :
  • If ‘N’ is smaller than ‘1’(N<=1) we return ‘N’
  • Else we call the function again as ninjaJasoos(N-1) + ninjaJasoos(N-2).
• In this way, we reached our answer.
Space Complexity: O(n)Explanation:
O(N),  where ‘N’ is the given number.  
As recursion uses a stack of size ‘N’
Time Complexity: O(2^n)Explanation:
O(2^N), where ‘N’ i...read more
