Ans. 
Find the shortest path in a binary matrix from a source cell to a destination cell consisting only of 1s.
• Use Breadth First Search (BFS) to explore all possible paths from the source cell to the destination cell.

• Keep track of visited cells to avoid revisiting them.

• Update the path length as you traverse through the matrix.

• Return the shortest path length found or -1 if no valid path exists.

Q1. 
Maximum Subarray Sum Problem Statement
Given an array of integers, determine the maximum possible sum of any contiguous subarray within the array.
Example:
Input:
array = [34, -50, 42, 14, -5, 86]
Out...read more
Ans. 
Find the maximum sum of any contiguous subarray within an array of integers.
• Iterate through the array and keep track of the maximum sum of subarrays encountered so far.

• At each index, decide whether to include the current element in the subarray or start a new subarray.

• Update the maximum sum if a new maximum is found.

• Example: For array [34, -50, 42, 14, -5, 86], the maximum sum is 137.

• Example: For array [-5, -1, -8, -9]

Ans. 
Given an array representing an elevation map, find the maximum amount of rainwater that can be trapped between the bars.
• Iterate through the array and calculate the maximum height on the left and right of each bar.

• Calculate the trapped water by finding the minimum of the maximum heights on the left and right minus the current bar height.

• Sum up the trapped water for all bars to get the total trapped rainwater.

• Example: Fo...read more
