Q1. 
Total Unique Paths Problem Statement
You are located at point ‘A’, the top-left corner of an M x N matrix, and your target is point ‘B’, the bottom-right corner of the same matrix. Your task is to calcula...read more
Ans. 
The task is to calculate the total number of unique paths from the top-left to bottom-right corner of an M x N matrix by moving only right or down.
• Use dynamic programming to solve this problem efficiently.

• Create a 2D array to store the number of unique paths for each cell in the matrix.

• Initialize the first row and first column with 1 as there is only one way to reach each cell in the first row and column.

• For each cell ...read more

Q2. 
Most Frequent Word Problem Statement
You are given two strings 'A' and 'B' composed of words separated by spaces. Your task is to determine the most frequent and lexicographically smallest word in string ...read more
Ans. 
Find the most frequent and lexicographically smallest word in string 'A' that is not present in string 'B'.
• Split strings 'A' and 'B' into words

• Count frequency of each word in 'A'

• Check if word is not in 'B' and is the most frequent and lexicographically smallest

• Return the word or -1 if no such word exists

Q1. 
Number of Islands Problem Statement
You are provided with a 2-dimensional matrix having N rows and M columns, containing only 1s (land) and 0s (water). Your goal is to determine the number of islands in t...read more
Ans. 
Count the number of islands in a 2D matrix of 1s and 0s.
• Use Depth First Search (DFS) or Breadth First Search (BFS) to traverse the matrix and identify connected groups of 1s.

• Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited cells to avoid redundant traversal.

• Increment the island count each time a new island is encountered.

• Consider all eight possible directions for connectivity while traversing the matrix.

• Handle edge ca...read more

Q2. 
Largest Rectangle in Histogram Problem Statement
You are given an array/list HEIGHTS of length N, where each element represents the height of a histogram bar. The width of each bar is considered to be 1.
...read more
Ans. 
Find the area of the largest rectangle that can be formed within the bounds of a given histogram.
• Iterate through the histogram bars and maintain a stack to keep track of increasing heights.

• Calculate the area of the rectangle formed by each bar as the smallest height in the stack times the width.

• Update the maximum area found so far and return it as the result.

Q1. 
Ninja's Pattern with Powers of 2
Ninja, who loves playing with numbers, sets out to arrange numbers within 'N' rows. The unique arrangement follows these rules: the first row contains 1 number, the second...read more
Ans. 
Generate a pattern of numbers in rows following a specific sequence based on powers of 2.
• Start with 1 number in the first row, 2 numbers in the second row, 4 numbers in the third row, and so on based on powers of 2.

• Fill the pattern with numbers in increasing sequence from 1 to 9, recycling back to 1 after reaching 9.

• Output the pattern for a given number 'N' of rows.

• Example: For N = 4, the pattern would be 1, 23, 4567,

Q2. 
Validate Binary Search Tree (BST)
You are given a binary tree with 'N' integer nodes. Your task is to determine whether this binary tree is a Binary Search Tree (BST).
BST Definition:
A Binary Search Tr...read more
Ans. 
Validate if a given binary tree is a Binary Search Tree (BST) or not.
• Check if the left subtree of a node contains only nodes with data less than the node's data.

• Check if the right subtree of a node contains only nodes with data greater than the node's data.

• Recursively check if both the left and right subtrees are also binary search trees.

• Example: For a node with data 4, left subtree nodes (2, 1, 3) are smaller and righ

Q1. 
Zig-Zag Array Rearrangement
You are provided with an array of distinct elements, and your task is to rearrange the array elements in a zig-zag manner. Specifically, for every odd index i, the element ARR[...read more
Ans. 
Rearrange array elements in a zig-zag manner where every odd index element is greater than its neighbors.
• Iterate through the array and swap elements to satisfy the zig-zag condition.

• Ensure that for every odd index i, ARR[i] > ARR[i-1] and ARR[i] > ARR[i+1].

• Multiple correct answers may exist for a given array.

Q2. 
Flatten a Linked List
You are provided with a linked list of 'N' nodes. Each node contains two pointers: NEXT, pointing to the next node in the list, and CHILD, pointing to a linked list. Each child linke...read more
Ans. 
Flatten a linked list of sorted child linked lists into a single sorted linked list.
• Traverse the linked list and maintain a priority queue to keep track of the next smallest element.

• Merge the child linked lists into the priority queue while traversing the main linked list.

• Pop elements from the priority queue to create the final flattened linked list.

My interview started at 9:30 and it took around 45 minutes to complete my interview.This was held on Amazon Chime and the interview lasted for 1 hour. Firstly the interviewer asked to introduce about myself, later asked regarding the projects I have mentioned in my resume. Then started displaying the coding question. The first question is number of islands in a matrix.

• Use Depth First Search (DFS) or Breadth First Search (BFS) to traverse the matrix and identify connected groups of 1s.

• Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited cells to avoid redundant traversal.

• Increment the island count each time a new island is encountered.

• Consider edge cases like when the matrix is empty or all cells are water (0s).
