Q1. 
Longest Substring with At Most K Distinct Characters
Given a string S of length N and an integer K, find the length of the longest substring that contains at most K distinct characters.
Input:
The first...read more
Ans. 
Find the length of the longest substring with at most K distinct characters in a given string.
• Use a sliding window approach to keep track of the characters and their counts within the window.

• Maintain a hashmap to store the characters and their frequencies.

• Update the window size and characters count as you iterate through the string.

• Return the maximum window size encountered for each test case.

Q1. 
Sort 0 and 1 Problem Statement
Given an integer array ARR of size N containing only integers 0 and 1, implement a function to sort this array. The solution should scan the array only once without using an...read more
Ans. 
Sort an array of 0s and 1s in linear time without using additional arrays.
• Iterate through the array and maintain two pointers, one for 0s and one for 1s.

• Swap elements at the two pointers based on the current element being 0 or 1.

• Continue this process until the entire array is sorted in place.

An integer N is provided, and the task is to determine if N is a perfect square. A perfect square refers to an integer which can be expressed as the square of another integer.
...read more
Ans. 
Implement a function to check if a given integer is a perfect square.
• Create a function that takes an integer as input and returns true if it is a perfect square, false otherwise.

• Iterate through possible square roots of the input integer and check if the square of the root equals the input.

• Return true if a perfect square is found, false otherwise.

Q2. 
Merge Sort Problem Statement
Given a sequence of numbers 'ARR', your task is to return a sorted sequence of 'ARR' in non-descending order using the Merge Sort algorithm.
Example:
Input:
ARR = [5, 3, 8,...read more
Ans. 
Implement Merge Sort algorithm to sort a given sequence of numbers in non-descending order.
• Merge Sort is a divide-and-conquer algorithm that splits the array into two halves, recursively sorts each half, and then merges the sorted halves back together.

• Time complexity of Merge Sort is O(n log n) in the worst case scenario.

• It is a stable sorting algorithm, meaning that the relative order of equal elements is preserved.

Ans. 
The task is to print the bottom view of a binary tree from left to right.
• Traverse the binary tree in level order and keep track of the horizontal distance of each node from the root.

• Store the nodes at each horizontal distance in a map, updating it as you traverse the tree.

• After traversal, extract the bottom-most nodes at each horizontal distance to get the bottom view sequence.
