At the beginning of this round, the interviewer asked me about the data structures I knew. Linked lists, trees, graphs, arrays etc. was my answer. He asked me how well I knew Dynamic Programming. I said I wasn’t strong in that and he said that he would ask me a question on dynamic programming for sure.

Q1. Implement a Trie data structure and write functions to insert and search for a few words in it.
Ans. 
Implement a Trie data structure with insert and search functions.
• Create a TrieNode class with children and isEndOfWord attributes.

• Implement insert function to add words by iterating through characters.

• Implement search function to check if a word exists by traversing the Trie.

• Example: Insert 'apple', 'banana', 'orange' and search for 'apple' and 'grape'.

Ans. 
BFS traversal of an undirected and disconnected graph starting from vertex 0.
• Start BFS traversal from vertex 0 and visit all connected nodes in sorted order.

• Use a queue to keep track of nodes to visit next.

• Keep a visited array to avoid revisiting nodes.

• Print the BFS traversal path as the nodes are visited.

• Example: For input V=5, E=4 and edges 0-1, 0-2, 1-3, 2-4, the BFS traversal will be [0, 1, 2, 3, 4].
