...read more
Ans. 
Implement a queue using two stacks with enqueue and dequeue operations.
• Use two stacks to simulate a queue - one for enqueue and one for dequeue.

• For enqueue operation, push elements onto the enqueue stack.

• For dequeue operation, if the dequeue stack is empty, pop all elements from enqueue stack and push onto dequeue stack.

• Return true for successful enqueue and the dequeued element for successful dequeue.

• Create character frequency maps for both strings and compare them.

• Sort both strings and compare if they are equal.

• Use a hash table to store character counts and check if they are the same for both strings.

Ans. 
Implement a function to search for a given integer in a 2D matrix with specific properties.
• Iterate through each row of the matrix and perform a binary search on each row to find the target integer.

• Since the rows are sorted, binary search can be applied efficiently to determine if the target exists in the matrix.

• Handle edge cases such as empty matrix or invalid input values.

• Return 'TRUE' if the target is found in the ma
