Ans. 
Find the smallest positive integer missing from an array of integers.
• Iterate through the array and mark positive integers as visited using index as a reference.

• After marking, iterate again to find the first unmarked index which represents the missing positive integer.

• Handle edge cases like duplicates and negative numbers appropriately.

• Example: For input [3, 4, -1, 1], the output should be 2.

Ans. 
Yes, the binary array can be sorted in linear time and constant space using a single traversal.
• Use two pointers approach to swap 0s to the left and 1s to the right.

• Maintain two pointers, one for 0s and one for 1s, and iterate through the array once.

• Example: Input array [1, 0, 1, 0, 1] will be sorted to [0, 0, 1, 1, 1] in a single traversal.

Q4. What is the difference between method overloading and method overriding?
Ans. 
Method overloading is having multiple methods in the same class with the same name but different parameters. Method overriding is having a method in a subclass with the same name and parameters as a method in its superclass.
• Method overloading involves multiple methods with the same name but different parameters.

• Method overriding involves a subclass redefining a method from its superclass with the same name and paramete...read more
