Ans. 
Serialization and deserialization of an N-ary tree involves converting the tree into a sequence of bits and reconstructing the original tree from this format.
• Serialize the N-ary tree by traversing it in level order and representing each node and its children using a space-separated sequence of integers.

• Deserialize the serialized tree by parsing the input sequence and reconstructing the tree structure based on the provi...read more

Ans. 
Design a constant time data structure for key-value mappings with operations like INSERT, DELETE, SEARCH, GET, GET_SIZE, and IS_EMPTY.
• Use a hash table to achieve constant time complexity for operations.

• Implement INSERT, DELETE, SEARCH, GET, GET_SIZE, and IS_EMPTY functions.

• Ensure key is a string and value is a positive integer.

• Return appropriate results based on the operation type.

• Handle edge cases like key not found o
