Calculate the sum of an array, treating negative numbers as positive, using recursion and without recursion.
Create a variable to store the sum
Iterate through the array and add each element to the sum, treating negative numbers as positive
For the recursive solution, create a helper function that takes the array and the current index as parameters
In the recursive function, check if the current index is within the ar...
Peak and majority element finding algorithms
Peak element: binary search for element greater than both neighbors
Majority element: Boyer-Moore voting algorithm

Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms. Overriding is when a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by its parent class.
Polymorphism allows objects to be treated as if they are of any of their compatible types.
Overriding is used to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by its parent class.

HashMap is a data structure that stores key-value pairs for efficient data retrieval and manipulation.
HashMap allows O(1) average time complexity for insertions, deletions, and lookups.
It uses a hash function to compute an index into an array of buckets or slots.
Example: In Java, HashMap<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
Collisions are handled using techniques like chaining or open addressing.
Example o...
