This is a written round on paper for everyone. Three coding questions were given. Two out of three must be correct covering every single edge case to qualify for the next round. Only the most optimal solution was to be considered.

Q1. 
Maximum Subarray Sum Problem Statement
Given an array ARR consisting of N integers, your goal is to determine the maximum possible sum of a non-empty contiguous subarray within this array.
Example of Sub...read more
Ans. 
Find the maximum sum of a contiguous subarray in an array of integers.
• Use Kadane's algorithm to find the maximum subarray sum in linear time.

• Initialize two variables: maxSum and currentSum.

• Iterate through the array and update currentSum by adding the current element or starting a new subarray.

• Update maxSum if currentSum becomes greater than maxSum.

• Return maxSum as the maximum subarray sum.

Finding Triplets in a Binary Tree Problem Statement
You are given a Binary Tree of integers and an integer 'X'. Your task is to find all the triplets in the tree whose sum is strictly greater than 'X'. Th...read more
Ans. 
Find all triplets in a binary tree whose sum is greater than a given integer X, with a grandparent-parent-child relationship.
• Traverse the binary tree to find all possible triplets.

• Check if the sum of each triplet is greater than X.

• Ensure the relationship of grandparent-parent-child in each triplet.

• Return the valid triplets in any order.

• Handle constraints and edge cases appropriately.

Q2. What is the difference between Mutex and Semaphores? Please provide a real-life example.
Ans. 
Mutex is used for exclusive access to a resource by only one thread at a time, while Semaphores can allow multiple threads to access a resource simultaneously.
• Mutex is binary and allows only one thread to access a resource at a time, while Semaphores can have a count greater than one.

• Mutex is used for protecting critical sections of code, while Semaphores can be used for controlling access to a pool of resources.

Ans. 
Determine the minimum number of platforms needed at a railway station so that no train has to wait.
• Sort the arrival and departure times arrays in ascending order.

• Initialize two pointers, one for arrival times and one for departure times.

• Increment the platform count when a train arrives and decrement when it departs.

• Keep track of the maximum platform count needed.

• Return the maximum platform count as the minimum number o

Ans. 
The minimum number of swaps required to make a string K-periodic by replacing characters with elements from an array.
• Iterate through the string and check if each character matches the character K positions ahead.

• Count the number of characters that need to be swapped to make the string K-periodic.

• Use the array elements to swap characters in the string.

• Return the total number of swaps needed for each test case.

Ans. 
Find the minimum number of jumps Bob needs to make from shop 0 to reach the final shop, or return -1 if impossible.
• Use BFS to traverse through the shops and keep track of the minimum jumps required.

• If at any point the current shop is unreachable (Arr[i] = 0), return -1.

• Optimize by using a visited array to avoid revisiting the same shop.

Ans. 
Find pairs of elements in an array that sum up to a given value, sorted in a specific order.
• Iterate through the array and for each element, check if the complement (S - current element) exists in a hash set.

• If the complement exists, add the pair to the result list.

• Sort the result list based on the criteria mentioned in the question.

• Return the sorted list of pairs.
