Q1. 
Minimum Cost to Destination
You are given an NxM matrix consisting of '0's and '1's. A '1' signifies that the cell is accessible, whereas a '0' indicates that the cell is blocked. Your task is to compute ...read more
Ans. 
Find the minimum cost to reach a destination in a matrix with specified rules.
• Use Breadth First Search (BFS) algorithm to explore all possible paths from the starting point to the destination.

• Keep track of the cost incurred at each cell and update it as you move through the matrix.

• Return the minimum cost to reach the destination or -1 if it is unreachable.

• Consider edge cases such as when the starting point is the desti

Q2. 
Maximum of All Subarrays of Size k
Given an array of 'N' non-negative integers and an integer 'K', your task is to find the maximum elements for each subarray of size 'K'.
Input:
The first line contains...read more
Ans. 
Find the maximum elements for each subarray of size 'K' in a given array of non-negative integers.
• Iterate through the array and maintain a deque to store the indices of elements in decreasing order.

• Pop elements from the deque if they are out of the current window of size 'K'.

• The front of the deque will always have the index of the maximum element for the current window.

Q1. 
Convert Min Heap to Max Heap Problem Statement
Given an array representation of a min-heap of size 'n', your task is to convert this array into a max-heap.
Input:
The first line of input contains an int...read more
Ans. 
Convert a given array representing a min-heap into a max-heap.
• Iterate through the array and swap parent nodes with their children to convert min-heap to max-heap.

• Maintain the heap property by comparing parent with its children and swapping if necessary.

• Ensure the final array satisfies the max-heap property where parent nodes are greater than their children.

Q2. 
Sum Between Zeroes Problem Statement
Given a singly linked list containing a series of integers separated by the integer '0', modify the list by merging nodes between two '0's into a single node. This mer...read more
Ans. 
Given a singly linked list with integers separated by '0', merge nodes between '0's into a single node with sum of included nodes.
• Traverse the linked list and keep track of sum between zeroes

• Merge nodes between zeroes by updating the sum in the merged node

• Update the linked list by removing the nodes between zeroes

• Handle edge cases like list starting and ending with '0'

Q3. 
Snake and Ladder Problem Statement
Given a 'Snake and Ladder' board with N rows and N columns, where positions are numbered from 1 to (N*N) starting from the bottom left, alternating direction each row, f...read more
Ans. 
Find the minimum number of dice throws required to reach the last cell on a 'Snake and Ladder' board.
• Create a graph representation of the board with snakes and ladders as edges.

• Use Breadth First Search (BFS) to find the shortest path from the starting cell to the last cell.

• Keep track of visited cells and the number of dice throws at each cell.

• Handle cases where the last cell is unreachable by returning -1.

• Consider the ...read more
