Q1. 
0/1 Knapsack Problem Statement
A thief is planning to rob a store and can carry a maximum weight of 'W' in his knapsack. The store contains 'N' items where the ith item has a weight of 'wi' and a value of...read more
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.

Q1. 
Hurdle Game Problem Statement
Kevin is playing a hurdle game where he must jump over hurdles to clear levels. Each level ‘i’ consists of ‘i’ hurdles (e.g., Level 6 has 6 hurdles).
Given the total number ...read more
Ans. 
Given the total number of hurdles Kevin has jumped, determine how many levels he has cleared.
• Iterate through levels while subtracting hurdles from total jumped until remaining hurdles are less than current level

• Return the current level as the number of levels cleared

N Queens Problem
Given an integer N, find all possible placements of N queens on an N x N chessboard such that no two queens threaten each other.
Explanation:
A queen can attack another queen if they ar...read more
Ans. 
The N Queens Problem involves finding all possible placements of N queens on an N x N chessboard without threatening each other.
• Use backtracking algorithm to explore all possible configurations.

• Keep track of rows, columns, and diagonals to ensure queens do not threaten each other.

• Generate valid configurations recursively and backtrack when a solution is not possible.

Q1. 
Generate Binary Strings with No Consecutive 1s
Given an integer K, your task is to produce all binary strings of length 'K' that do not contain consecutive '1's.
Input:
The input begins with an integer ...read more
Ans. 
Generate all binary strings of length 'K' with no consecutive '1's in lexicographically increasing order.
• Use backtracking to generate all possible binary strings of length 'K' with no consecutive '1's.

• Start with an empty string and recursively add '0' or '1' based on the condition of no consecutive '1's.

• Sort the generated strings in lexicographically increasing order before outputting them.

Q2. 
Shuffle Two Strings Problem Statement
You are provided with three strings A, B, and C. The task is to determine if C is formed by interleaving A and B. C is considered an interleaving of A and B if:
• T...read more
Ans. 
Check if a string is formed by interleaving two other strings.
• Iterate through characters of A, B, and C simultaneously to check if C is formed by interleaving A and B.

• Use dynamic programming to efficiently solve the problem.

• Handle edge cases like empty strings or unequal lengths of A, B, and C.

• Example: A = 'aab', B = 'abc', C = 'aaabbc' should return True.

Ans. 
Detect cycles in a directed graph and return true if a cycle exists, false otherwise.
• Use Depth First Search (DFS) to detect cycles in the directed graph.

• Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited vertices and a recursion stack to detect back edges.

• If a vertex is visited and is present in the recursion stack, then a cycle exists.

• Example: For the input 4 4, the graph has a cycle 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 1.

Q1. How does a URL work and what is a load balancer?
Ans. 
A URL is a web address that specifies the location of a resource on the internet. A load balancer distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure optimal resource utilization and prevent overload.
• A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and the mechanism for retrieving it.

• URLs typically consist of a protocol (such as HTTP ...read more
