Ans. 
Return the level order traversal of a binary tree given in level order with null nodes represented by -1.
• Create a queue to store nodes for level order traversal

• Start with the root node and add it to the queue

• While the queue is not empty, dequeue a node, print its value, and enqueue its children

• Repeat until all nodes are traversed in level order

Q1. What is a deadlock in DBMS, and can you explain the concepts of join and query?
Ans. 
A deadlock in DBMS occurs when two or more transactions are waiting for each other to release locks, causing them to be stuck indefinitely.
• Deadlock is a situation where two or more transactions are unable to proceed because each is waiting for the other to release locks.

• To prevent deadlocks, DBMS uses techniques like deadlock detection and prevention algorithms.

• Joins in DBMS are used to combine rows from two or more ta...read more

Q1. 
Maximum Subarray Sum Queries
You are provided with an array of ‘N’ integers and ‘Q’ queries. Each query requires calculating the maximum subarray sum in a specified range of the array.
Input:
The first ...read more
Ans. 
Implement a function to calculate maximum subarray sum queries in a given range of an array.
• Iterate through each query and calculate the maximum subarray sum within the specified range using Kadane's algorithm.

• Keep track of the maximum sum found so far and update it as needed.

• Return the maximum subarray sum for each query in the test case.

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 integer array containing only 0s, 1s, and 2s in linear time complexity.
• Use a single scan over the array to sort it in-place.

• Maintain three pointers for 0s, 1s, and 2s and swap elements accordingly.

• Example: Input: [0, 2, 1, 2, 0], Output: [0, 0, 1, 2, 2]

Q1. 
Find the Third Greatest Element
Given an array 'ARR' of 'N' distinct integers, determine the third largest element in the array.
Input:
The first line contains a single integer 'T' representing the numb...read more
Ans. 
Find the third largest element in an array of distinct integers.
• Sort the array in descending order and return the element at index 2.

• Handle cases where the array has less than 3 elements separately.

• Consider edge cases like negative integers and duplicates.

Ans. 
Implement a wildcard pattern matching algorithm to determine if a given wildcard pattern matches a text string completely.
• Create a recursive function to match the pattern with the text character by character.

• Handle cases for '?' and '*' characters in the pattern.

• Use dynamic programming to optimize the solution.

• Check for edge cases like empty pattern or text.

Q3. 
Detect and Remove Loop in Linked List
For a given singly linked list, identify if a loop exists and remove it, adjusting the linked list in place. Return the modified linked list.
Expected Complexity:
A...read more
Ans. 
Detect and remove loop in a singly linked list with O(n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity.
• Use Floyd's Cycle Detection Algorithm to identify the loop in the linked list.

• Once the loop is detected, use two pointers to find the start of the loop.

• Adjust the pointers to remove the loop and return the modified linked list.

• Example: For input 5 2 and elements 1 2 3 4 5, output should be 1 2 3 4 5.

Ans. 
The task is to find the length of the longest common subsequence between two given strings.
• Implement a function to find the longest common subsequence length.

• Use dynamic programming to solve the problem efficiently.

• Iterate through the strings to find the common subsequence.

• Handle edge cases like empty strings or equal strings.

• Example: For input 'abcde' and 'ace', the longest common subsequence is 'ace' with a length of
