Ans. 
Find the maximum sum of any contiguous subarray in an array of numbers in O(N) time.
• Use Kadane's algorithm to find the maximum subarray sum in O(N) time.

• Initialize two variables: maxEndingHere and maxSoFar to keep track of the maximum sum.

• Iterate through the array and update the variables accordingly.

• Return the maxSoFar as the result.

Q1. 
Smallest Integer Not Representable as Subset Sum
Given a non-decreasing sorted array ARR of N positive numbers, determine the smallest positive integer that cannot be expressed as the sum of elements from...read more
Ans. 
The task is to find the smallest positive integer value that cannot be represented as a sum of elements of any proper subset of the given array.
• The array is sorted in non-decreasing order, so we can iterate through the array and keep track of the maximum sum we can form.

• If the current element is greater than the maximum sum + 1, then the maximum sum + 1 is the smallest positive integer that cannot be represented.

• If all...read more

Ans. 
Given an array and a target sum, find a subarray that sums up to the target sum.
• Iterate through the array while keeping track of the running sum and the starting index of the subarray.

• Use a hashmap to store the running sum and its corresponding index.

• If the running sum - target sum is found in the hashmap, it means a subarray with the target sum exists.

• Return the starting and ending indices of the subarray or [-1, -1]

3 coding Questions:
1st : Easy question based on simple loop iteration
2nd :Medium level Dp question 
3rd : Medium level tree question(where we were not just required to complete the tree function but to build whole bst from 
scratch) 

It was conducted from 1:30 - 3:00 pm.
The coding platform was very good (as auto indentation and auto completion of brackets were there)
having camera on.

Q1. Sort array of cards in color red , blue,green
Ans. 
Sort array of cards in red, blue, green colors.
• Use a custom sorting function to sort the array based on color order.

• Assign a numerical value to each color (e.g. red: 0, blue: 1, green: 2) and sort based on these values.

• Implement a sorting algorithm like bubble sort or quicksort to rearrange the array based on color order.
