Aahad and Harshit always have fun by solving problems. Harshit took a sorted array consisting of distinct integers and rotated it clockwise by an unknown amount. For example, he took a sorted array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and if he rotates it by 2, then the array becomes: [4, 5, 1, 2, 3].

After rotating a sorted array, Aahad needs to answer Q queries asked by Harshit, each of them is described by one integer Q[i]. which Harshit wanted him to search in the array. For each query, if he found it, he had to shout the index of the number, otherwise, he had to shout -1.

For each query, you have to complete the given method where 'key' denotes Q[i]. If the key exists in the array, return the index of the 'key', otherwise, return -1.

Note:

Can you solve each query in O(logN) ?

Ninja has been given a string ‘STR’ consisting of lowercase English letters. ‘STR’ might contain duplicate characters too. Ninja has to return all unique permutations of the given string in lexicographically increasing order.

Can you help Ninjas to do this task?.

String 'STR1' is lexicographically less than string 'STR2', if either 'STR1' is a prefix of 'STR2' (and 'STR1' ≠ 'STR2'), or there exists such i (1 <= i <= min(|'STR1'|, |'STR2'|)), such that 'STR1[i]’ < 'STR[i]’, and for any j (1 <= ‘j’ < ‘i’) 'STR1[i]’ = 'STR2[i]’. Here |'STR1'| denotes the length of the string 'STR1'.

For example :
If the string is “aab”, then its unique permutations in lexicographically increasing order are { “aab”, “aba”, “baa” }.
Problem approach

This question was very easy recursion and backtracking based question, which we have seen from our college days.

You are given a Singly Linked List of integers. Return true if it has a cycle, else return false.


A cycle occurs when a node's next points back to a previous node in the list.


Example:
In the given linked list, there is a cycle, hence we return true.

InfosysAccentureMindtree

You are given ‘N’ integers in the form of an array ‘ARR’. Print the sorted array using the insertion sort.

Note :
No need to return anything. You should sort the array in-place.
For example :
Let ‘ARR’ be: [1, 4, 2]
The sorted array will be: [1, 2, 4].
