Ans. 
Bubble Sort is used to sort an array of non-negative integers in non-decreasing order by swapping adjacent elements if they are not in the correct order.
• Iterate through the array and compare adjacent elements, swapping them if they are in the wrong order.

• Repeat this process until the array is sorted in non-decreasing order.

• Time complexity of Bubble Sort is O(n^2) in worst case.

• Example: For input [6, 2, 8, 4, 10], the o

Ans. 
Find the shortest path between two houses in a city represented as an unweighted graph.
• Use breadth-first search (BFS) algorithm to find the shortest path in an unweighted graph.

An array is defined as non-de...read more
Ans. 
Determine if an array can be transformed into a non-decreasing array by modifying at most one element.
• Iterate through the array and check if there are more than one decreasing elements.

• If there is only one decreasing element, check if modifying it can make the array non-decreasing.

• Return true if the array can be made non-decreasing by modifying at most one element, otherwise false.

Ans. 
Given an array and a target sum, find all pairs of elements that add up to the target sum.
• Iterate through the array and for each element, check if the complement (target sum - current element) exists in a hash set.

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

• Sort the pairs based on the first element and then the second element.

• Handle edge cases like duplicate elements and pairs with the same values.

• Example...read more
