Q1. 
Duplicate Integer in Array
Given an array ARR of size N, containing each number between 1 and N-1 at least once, identify the single integer that appears twice.
Input:
The first line contains an integer...read more
Ans. 
Identify the duplicate integer in an array containing numbers between 1 and N-1.
• Iterate through the array and keep track of the frequency of each element using a hashmap.

• Return the element with a frequency greater than 1 as the duplicate integer.

• Ensure the constraints are met and a duplicate number is guaranteed to be present.

Q2. 
Sum Root to Leaf Numbers
You are given an arbitrary binary tree consisting of N nodes, each associated with an integer value from 1 to 9. Each root-to-leaf path can be considered a number formed by concat...read more
Ans. 
Calculate the total sum of all root to leaf paths in a binary tree formed by concatenating node values.
• Traverse the binary tree from root to leaf nodes, keeping track of the current path sum

• Add the current node value to the path sum and multiply by 10 for each level

• When reaching a leaf node, add the final path sum to the total sum

• Return the total sum modulo (10^9 + 7)

Q3. 
Topological Sort Problem Statement
You are given a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Your task is to perform topological sorting of the graph and return any valid ordering.
Explanation:
A directed acyclic g...read more
Ans. 
Implement a function to perform topological sorting on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) and return any valid ordering.
• Create a graph data structure to represent the DAG

• Use depth-first search (DFS) to perform topological sorting

• Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited nodes

• Return the ordering of nodes after DFS traversal

Q1. 
LCA of Binary Tree Problem Statement
You are given a binary tree consisting of distinct integers and two nodes, X and Y. Your task is to find and return the Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA) of these two nodes...read more
Ans. 
Find the Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA) of two nodes in a binary tree.
• Traverse the binary tree to find the paths from the root to nodes X and Y.

• Compare the paths to find the last common node, which is the LCA.

• Handle cases where one node is an ancestor of the other.

• Consider edge cases like when X or Y is the root node.

• Implement a recursive or iterative solution to find the LCA efficiently.

Q2. 
Rotated Array Minimum Finder
You are provided with a sorted array that has undergone 'K' rotations (the exact value of 'K' is unknown). A rotation involves shifting each element of the array to the right,...read more
Ans. 
Implement a function to find the minimum number in a rotated sorted array efficiently.
• Use binary search to find the minimum element in the rotated array.

• Compare the mid element with the start and end elements to determine which half of the array to search next.

• Continue the binary search until the minimum element is found.

Q3. 
Maximum Binary Tree Construction Problem
Given an array TREE of 'N' unique integers, construct a maximum binary tree using the following rules:
1. The root of this tree is the maximum number in TREE.
2. T...read more
Ans. 
Construct a maximum binary tree from an array of unique integers following specific rules.
• Find the maximum number in the array to set as the root of the tree.

• Recursively construct the left subtree with elements before the maximum number.

• Recursively construct the right subtree with elements after the maximum number.

Q1. 
Find the Duplicate Number Problem Statement
Given an integer array 'ARR' of size 'N' containing numbers from 0 to (N - 2). Each number appears at least once, and there is one number that appears twice. Yo...read more
Ans. 
Find the duplicate number in an integer array containing numbers from 0 to (N - 2).
• Iterate through the array and keep track of the frequency of each number using a hashmap.

• Return the number that appears twice in the array.

• The duplicate number is always present in the given array.

Q1. 
Bubble Sort Problem Statement
Sort an unsorted array of non-negative integers using the Bubble Sort algorithm, which swaps adjacent elements if they are not in the correct order to sort the array in non-d...read more
Ans. 
Bubble Sort is used to sort an array of non-negative integers in non-decreasing order by swapping adjacent elements if they are not in the correct order.
• Iterate through the array and compare adjacent elements, swapping them if they are in the wrong order.

• Repeat this process until the array is sorted in non-decreasing order.

• Time complexity of Bubble Sort is O(n^2) in worst case.

• Example: For input [6, 2, 8, 4, 10], the o

Q1. 
Unweighted Graph Shortest Path Problem
You are tasked with finding the shortest path between two houses in the city of Ninjaland, represented as an unweighted graph. The city has N houses numbered from 1 ...read more
Ans. 
Find the shortest path between two houses in a city represented as an unweighted graph.
• Use breadth-first search (BFS) algorithm to find the shortest path in an unweighted graph.

• Start BFS from the source house and keep track of the shortest path to each house.

• Once the destination house is reached, backtrack to find the shortest path.

• Consider using a queue data structure to implement BFS efficiently.
