Q. Explain the time complexity of a binary tree.
Ans. 

Time complexity of binary tree refers to the amount of time it takes to perform operations on the tree based on its size.

  • Time complexity for searching, inserting, and deleting in a binary tree is O(log n) on average.

  • In worst case scenarios, time complexity can be O(n) for operations like searching if the tree is unbalanced.

  • Balanced binary trees like AVL trees or Red-Black trees ensure O(log n) time complexity for ...

Q. Given the root of a binary tree, determine if it is a valid binary search tree (BST). A valid BST is defined as follows: The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than the node's key. Th...
Ans. 

Check if a binary tree is a valid binary search tree (BST) based on node values.

  • A BST is defined such that for any node, all values in the left subtree are less, and all values in the right subtree are greater.

  • Use a recursive approach to validate each node against a range of valid values.

  • Example: For the tree with root 2, left child 1, and right child 3, it is a valid BST.

  • Example: For the tree with root 5, left ch...

Q. What is the difference between SQL and NoSQL primary and unique keys?
Ans. 

SQL uses primary keys to uniquely identify records in a table, while NoSQL databases use unique keys for the same purpose.

  • SQL databases use primary keys to uniquely identify each record in a table, typically using an auto-incrementing integer value.

  • NoSQL databases use unique keys to achieve the same purpose, but the key can be any unique value, not necessarily an integer.

  • In SQL, primary keys are used to enforce en...
