Q1. Intersection of Linked list
Ans. 
Intersection of two linked lists is finding the common node(s) between them.
• Traverse both lists and compare each node to find the common node(s).

• Use a hash table to store the nodes of one list and check for their presence in the other list.

• Calculate the length of both lists and move the pointer of the longer list to match the length of the shorter list, then compare each node.

Q1. How many ways we can share data between one app to another app?
Ans. 
There are multiple ways to share data between apps, including using intents, content providers, broadcast receivers, and shared preferences.
• Using Intents: Allows apps to send and receive data through an Intent object.

• Content Providers: Enable apps to share data with other apps by exposing a structured set of data through a URI.

• Broadcast Receivers: Apps can send broadcasts to other apps to share data or events.

• Shared Pr...read more

Q2. Lifecycle of activity. What would be the state if app is running in the background. When it will be in onStop and onRestart state?
Ans. 
The app lifecycle includes states like running in the background, onStop, and onRestart.
• App running in the background: When the app is not visible but still running, it is in the background state.

• onStop state: Occurs when the activity is no longer visible to the user.

• onRestart state: Follows onStop and is called when the activity is being re-displayed to the user.

Q6. Difference between Threads and Coroutines.
Ans. 
Threads are independent sequences of execution within a process, while coroutines are cooperative routines that can pause and resume.
• Threads are managed by the operating system, while coroutines are managed by the programmer.

• Threads run concurrently and can execute in parallel on multiple cores, while coroutines are typically single-threaded.

• Threads have their own stack and memory space, while coroutines share the same...read more

Q7. How we can perform background tasks in Android?
Ans. 
Background tasks in Android can be performed using services, AsyncTask, JobScheduler, or WorkManager.
• Use Services for long-running tasks in the background

• AsyncTask for short background tasks that need to interact with the UI

• JobScheduler for deferrable background tasks that require network connectivity

• WorkManager for tasks that need to run reliably across different Android versions

Ans. 
The N Queens Problem involves finding all possible placements of N queens on an N x N chessboard without threatening each other.
• Use backtracking algorithm to explore all possible configurations.

• Keep track of rows, columns, and diagonals to ensure queens do not threaten each other.

• Generate valid configurations recursively and backtrack when a solution is not possible.

Ans. 
Generate all binary strings of length 'K' with no consecutive '1's in lexicographically increasing order.
• Use backtracking to generate all possible binary strings of length 'K' with no consecutive '1's.

• Start with an empty string and recursively add '0' or '1' based on the condition of no consecutive '1's.

• Sort the generated strings in lexicographically increasing order before outputting them.

Ans. 
Detect cycles in a directed graph and return true if a cycle exists, false otherwise.
• Use Depth First Search (DFS) to detect cycles in the directed graph.

• Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited vertices and a recursion stack to detect back edges.

• If a vertex is visited and is present in the recursion stack, then a cycle exists.

• Example: For the input 4 4, the graph has a cycle 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 1.
