Q2. Print first duplicate value in a string.
Ans. 
Find the first duplicate value in an array of strings.
• Create a hash table to store the frequency of each string.

• Iterate through the array and check if the string already exists in the hash table.

• If it does, return the string. If not, add it to the hash table.

• If no duplicates are found, return null or an appropriate message.

Ans. 
Calculate the N-th term of a Geometric Progression series given the first term, common ratio, and term position.
• Use the formula A * R^(N-1) to find the N-th term of the GP series.

• Remember to return the result modulo 10^9 + 7 as the term can be very large.

• Handle multiple test cases efficiently by iterating through each case.

Q1. 
Distinct Subsequences Problem Statement
You are given a string 'S' of length 'N' which may include duplicate alphabets. Your goal is to calculate the number of distinct subsequences in the string.
Exampl...read more
Ans. 
Calculate the number of distinct subsequences in a string with possible duplicates.
• Use dynamic programming to keep track of the count of distinct subsequences for each character in the string.

• Consider the cases where the current character is included or excluded in the subsequence.

• Handle duplicates by using a hashmap to store the last occurrence index of each character.

• Modulo the final count by 10^9 + 7 to avoid overfl

Ans. 
The task is to determine if a given year is a leap year or not.
• Check if the year is divisible by 4, if yes then proceed to next step

• If the year is divisible by 100, then it should also be divisible by 400 to be a leap year

• If the year satisfies both conditions, output 'Yes', else output 'No'
