Ans. 
The problem involves determining if a given graph can be colored with at most 'M' colors without adjacent vertices sharing the same color.
• Create a function that takes the adjacency matrix, number of nodes 'N', and maximum number of colors 'M' as input.

• Implement a graph coloring algorithm such as backtracking or greedy coloring to check if the graph can be colored with at most 'M' colors.

• Check if adjacent vertices have ...read more

• insert(word): Add a string "word" to the Trie.
• search(word): Verify if the string "w...read more
Ans. 
Implement a Trie data structure to insert, search, and check for prefixes in strings.
• Create a TrieNode class with children and isEndOfWord attributes.

• Implement insert, search, and startsWith methods in the Trie class.

• Use a Trie to efficiently store and search for strings based on prefixes.

• Example: insert 'apple', search 'apple' returns true, startsWith 'app' returns true, search 'app' returns false.

Q1. How do you perform a spiral order traversal of a binary tree? Please provide an explanation or code to print the binary tree in spiral order.
Ans. 
Spiral order traversal of a binary tree involves printing nodes level by level alternating between left to right and right to left.
• Start by pushing the root node into a queue.

• While the queue is not empty, pop a node, print its value, and push its children into the queue.

• For each level, alternate between printing nodes from left to right and right to left.

• Repeat until all nodes are printed in spiral order.

Ans. 
Find the minimum time to travel from a starting point to a destination point using direct movement and wormholes.
• Calculate the time taken for direct movement from source to destination.

• Consider using each wormhole to see if it reduces the total travel time.

Ans. 
The task is to find the number of substrings in 'S' that differ from some substrings of 'T' by exactly one character.
• Iterate through all substrings of 'S' and 'T' and compare them character by character to find the ones that differ by exactly one character.

• Use nested loops to generate all possible substrings of 'S' and 'T'.

• Count the number of substrings that differ by exactly one character and return the total count.

Reverse Linked List Problem Statement
Given a singly linked list of integers, return the head of the reversed linked list.
Example:
Initial linked list: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> NULL
Reversed link...read more
Ans. 
Reverse a singly linked list of integers and return the head of the reversed linked list.
• Iterate through the linked list and reverse the pointers to point to the previous node instead of the next node.

• Use three pointers - prev, current, and next to reverse the linked list in O(N) time and O(1) space complexity.

• Update the head of the reversed linked list as the last node encountered during reversal.

You are provided with an undirected graph containing 'N' vertices and 'M' edges. The vertices are numbered from 1 to 'N'. Your objective is to determi...read more
Ans. 
Detect cycles in an undirected graph.
• Use Depth First Search (DFS) to detect cycles in the graph.

• Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited vertices.

• If a visited vertex is encountered again during DFS, a cycle exists.

• Check for cycles in each connected component of the graph.

• Example: For input N=3, Edges=[[1, 2], [2, 3], [1, 3]], output is Yes.

Q3. What are the differences between a mutex and a semaphore?
Ans. 
Mutex is used for exclusive access to a resource by only one thread at a time, while semaphore can allow multiple threads to access a resource simultaneously.
• Mutex is binary semaphore with ownership, used for mutual exclusion.

• Mutex is typically used to protect critical sections of code.

• Semaphore is a signaling mechanism, used for synchronization between multiple threads.

• Semaphore can have a count greater than 1, allowi...read more

Q4. What is meant by multitasking and multithreading in operating systems?
Ans. 
Multitasking refers to the ability of an operating system to run multiple tasks concurrently, while multithreading involves executing multiple threads within a single process.
• Multitasking allows multiple processes to run simultaneously on a single processor, switching between them quickly to give the illusion of parallel execution.

• Multithreading involves breaking a process into multiple threads that can be executed ind...read more

Ans. 
Given an array of first N positive integers with one number repeating and one missing, find the repeating and missing numbers.
• Iterate through the array and keep track of the sum of elements and sum of squares to find the missing and repeating numbers.

• Use a set to identify the repeating number and calculate the missing number based on the sum of elements.

• Example: For nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5], the repeating number is 4

Q3. What is the Diamond Problem in C++ and how can it be resolved?
Ans. 
Diamond Problem in C++ is a common issue in multiple inheritance where a class inherits from two classes that have a common base class.
• Diamond Problem occurs when a class inherits from two classes that have a common base class, leading to ambiguity in accessing members.

• It can be resolved in C++ using virtual inheritance, where the common base class is inherited virtually to avoid duplicate copies of base class members.

Q4. What are friend functions in C++?
Ans. 
Friend functions in C++ are functions that are not members of a class but have access to its private and protected members.
• Friend functions are declared inside a class with the 'friend' keyword.

• They can access private and protected members of the class.

• They are not member functions of the class, but have the same access rights as member functions.

• Friend functions are useful for implementing operators that are not membe...read more

Q1. The Longest Increasing Subsequence (LIS) problem is to find the length of the longest subsequence of a given sequence such that all elements of the subsequence are sorted in increasing order.
Ans. 
The Longest Increasing Subsequence (LIS) problem is to find the length of the longest subsequence of a given sequence with increasing order.
• Use dynamic programming to solve the LIS problem efficiently.

• Maintain an array to store the length of the LIS ending at each element.

• Iterate through the array and update the LIS length based on previous elements.

• Example: For input [10, 22, 9, 33, 21, 50, 41, 60, 80], the LIS is [10
