- Q1. Given an array of n numbers , find the kth largest find the sum from a th largest to bth largest n can be huge
- Ans.
Find the sum of kth to bth largest numbers in a huge array efficiently.
Sort the array in descending order to easily find the kth and bth largest numbers.
Use a priority queue or min heap to efficiently find the kth and bth largest numbers without sorting the entire array.
Once you have the kth and bth largest numbers, iterate through the array and sum the numbers between them.
- Q2. Mostly elasticsearch related and company work related questions
