An Application Developer was asked
Q. Design a circular doubly linked list with all its operations.
Ans. 

Circular doubly linked list is a data structure where each node has a reference to both the next and previous nodes, forming a circular loop.

  • Create a Node class with data, next, and prev pointers

  • Implement operations like insert, delete, search, and display

  • Ensure the last node's next pointer points to the first node and the first node's prev pointer points to the last node

An Application Developer was asked
Q. Given an array of integers and an integer K, find the largest element in every contiguous subarray of size K.
Ans. 

Find the largest element in a window of size K in an array.

  • Iterate through the array and maintain a deque to store the indices of elements in decreasing order.

  • Remove indices from the front of the deque that are outside the current window.

  • The front of the deque will always have the index of the largest element in the current window.

An Application Developer was asked
Q. Convert an infix expression to a postfix expression.
Ans. 

Infix to postfix conversion involves rearranging expressions for easier evaluation using a stack-based algorithm.

  • Infix notation: Operators are between operands (e.g., A + B).

  • Postfix notation: Operators follow their operands (e.g., AB+).

  • Use the Shunting Yard algorithm by Edsger Dijkstra for conversion.

  • Example: Infix: (A + B) * C becomes Postfix: AB+C*.
