Ans. 
Find duplicates in an array of integers within a specified range.
• Iterate through the array and keep track of the count of each element using a hashmap.

• Return elements with count greater than 1 as duplicates.

• Time complexity can be optimized to O(N) using a set to store duplicates.

• Example: For input [0, 3, 1, 2, 3], output should be [3].

Q2. What is normalization and can you explain the concept of Third Normal Form (3NF)?
Ans. 
Normalization is the process of organizing data in a database to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity.
• Normalization is a technique used to organize data in a database efficiently.

• Third Normal Form (3NF) is a level of normalization that ensures that data is stored in a way that prevents certain types of data anomalies.

• In 3NF, every non-prime attribute is fully functionally dependent on the primary key.
