  • Q5. Devise an algorithm to determine the Nth-to-Last element in a singly linked list of unknown length. If N = 0, then your algorithm must return the last element. You should parse the list only once
  • Ans. 

    Algorithm to find Nth-to-Last element in a singly linked list of unknown length

    • Traverse the list and maintain two pointers, one at the beginning and one at Nth node from beginning

    • Move both pointers simultaneously until the second pointer reaches the end of the list

    • The first pointer will be pointing to the Nth-to-Last element

    • If N=0, return the last element

    • Parse the list only once

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. Given an array of integers, print all possible permutations. Also explain your approach
  • Ans. 

    Print all possible permutations of an array of integers

    • Use recursion to swap elements and generate permutations

    • Stop when all elements have been swapped with the first element

    • Print each permutation as it is generated

  • Q7. Design a Stack DS that also prints in O(1) the minimum element you pushed in the stack
  • Ans. 

    Design a stack that prints the minimum element pushed in O(1)

    • Use two stacks, one for storing elements and another for storing minimums

    • When pushing an element, compare it with the top of minimum stack and push the smaller one

    • When popping an element, pop from both stacks

    • To get the minimum element, just return the top of minimum stack

  • Answered by AI
  • Q8. Given a linked list with loop, how would you find the starting point of the loop ?
  • Ans. 

    To find the starting point of a loop in a linked list, use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm.

    • Use two pointers, one moving at twice the speed of the other.

    • When they meet, move one pointer to the head of the list and keep the other at the meeting point.

    • Move both pointers one step at a time until they meet again, which is the starting point of the loop.

  • Ans. 

    To find a number in a matrix where all rows and columns are sorted non-decreasingly. Complexity of the solution.

    • Use binary search to find the number in each row and column
