Ans. 
Sort an array of 0s, 1s, and 2s in linear time complexity.
• Use three pointers to keep track of 0s, 1s, and 2s while traversing the array.

• Swap elements based on the values encountered to sort the array in-place.

• Time complexity should be O(N) and space complexity should be O(1).

Q1. You need to find the fastest 3 horses out of a group, given that you can only race 5 horses at a time. How would you approach this problem?
Ans. 
To find the fastest 3 horses out of a group with 5 horses racing at a time, we can use a tournament style approach.
• Divide the horses into groups of 5 and race them against each other. This will give you the fastest horse in each group.

• Take the winners from each group and race them against each other. The top 3 horses in this final race will be the fastest 3 overall.

• Keep track of the results and compare the timings to d

Q2. How do you debug the root cause of lag on a screen?
Ans. 
To debug lag on a screen, analyze code, check for memory leaks, optimize rendering, and use profiling tools.
• Analyze code to identify any inefficient algorithms or operations causing lag.

• Check for memory leaks that could be impacting performance.

• Optimize rendering by reducing the number of draw calls, optimizing shaders, and minimizing overdraw.

• Use profiling tools like Xcode Instruments or Android Profiler to identify p

Ans. 
Yes, the 0/1 Knapsack problem can be solved using dynamic programming with a space complexity of not more than O(W).
• Use a 1D array to store the maximum value that can be stolen for each weight capacity from 0 to W.

• Iterate through each item and update the array based on whether including the item would increase the total value.

• The final value in the array at index W will be the maximum value that can be stolen.
