STR = "abcde"
Output:
"e...read more
Ans. Optimal Solution
• Traverse the string and swap the first character with the last character, the second character with the second last character and so on.
• Basically, you need to swap the i-th character with the (N-i-1)-th character where N is the length of the string and 0-based indexing is considered.

Move Zeros to Left Problem Statement
Your task is to rearrange a given array ARR such that all zero elements appear at the beginning, followed by non-zero elements, while maintaining the relative order of...read more
Ans. Solution Using Extra space
The idea is to use an extra vector to store all the non-zero elements while maintaining their relative order. So we will first add all the non-zero elements to a vector and then iterate that vector backwards and start updating the array values from end. In the end we will set all the array values whose values were not updated to 0. 
Steps:
1. Let storeNonZero be the vector that stores non-zero...read more

Q1. 
Distinct Elements in K-Sized Windows
The task is to determine the number of distinct elements in every sliding window of size 'K' across an array 'ARR' of size 'N'. A 'K' sized window is a contiguous sequ...read more
Ans. Brute Force
The basic idea of this approach is to check every window of size K and count the number of distinct elements in each window.
Our approach will be to maintain an array answer, which will store the count of the distinct elements in every window. We will traverse through each window and find the number of distinct elements in the current window. 
1. For each element in the window, we will traverse through the w...read more

MergeSort Linked List Problem Statement
You are given a Singly Linked List of integers. Your task is to sort the list using the 'Merge Sort' algorithm.
Input:
The input consists of a single line contain...read more
Ans. Merge Sort Linked List
1. The idea is to take a recursive approach by calling the sort function on the left half and right half of the list.
2. In order to do so, get the middle node and split the list into two halves. We can use a two-pointer technique to get the middle node by running a slow and a fast pointer.
   1. The idea here is to move both the slow and fast pointer simultaneously until fast reaches the end of the list.
   2. Here, ...read more
