An Application Developer was asked
Q. Explain the heap sort algorithm.
Ans. 

Heap sort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm that uses a binary heap data structure.

  • It divides the input into a sorted and an unsorted region.

  • It repeatedly extracts the largest element from the unsorted region and inserts it into the sorted region.

  • It has a worst-case and average-case time complexity of O(n log n).

An Application Developer was asked
Q. Given a string, reverse it.
Ans. 

Reverse a string

  • Use a loop to iterate through the string and append each character to a new string in reverse order

  • Alternatively, use the built-in reverse() method for strings in some programming languages

An Application Developer was asked
Q. There are 25 horses and only 5 horses can be raced at a time, and the top 3 are announced in each race. What is the minimum number of races required to find the top 3 among the 25 horses?
Ans. 

The minimum number of races required to find the top 3 among 25 horses is 7.

  • Divide the 25 horses into 5 groups of 5 horses each.

  • Race the 5 groups, which will give us the top 3 horses from each group.

  • Now we have 15 horses remaining.

  • Race the top 3 horses from each group, which will give us the top 3 horses overall.

  • This requires a total of 7 races.
