Ninja has started a new business of selling bricks. There are ‘N’ types of bricks of distinct types present in his shop, and each brick’s cost is the number of bricks of that type currently present in his shop. The total number of each type of brick in the shop is given in an array 'ARR'. Ninja has received an order of ‘L’ bricks in his shop. Your task is to find the maximum profit Ninja can attain by this order.

You are given two water jugs with capacities X and Y litres respectively. Both the jugs are initially empty. There is an infinite amount of water supply available. The jugs do not have markings to measure smaller quantities.

The following operations are allowed:

• Fill any of the jugs entirely with water.
• Empty any of the jugs.
• Pour water from one jug into another till the other jug is full, or the first jug itself is empty.

You are required to tell whether it is possible to measure exactly ‘Z’ litres using both of the jugs.

If Z litres of water is measurable, you must have Z litres of water contained within one or both buckets by the end.

For example:

In order to measure 2 litres from jugs of 4 and 6 litres we can follow the following steps-

• Fill 6-litres jugs to its maximum capacity.
• Pour water from 6-litres jug to the jug with 4-litres capacity.
• Pour water from 6-litres jug to the jug with 4-litres capacity.

You have been given a Singly Linked List of integers, determine if it forms a cycle or not. If there is a cycle, remove the cycle and return the list.

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

You have been given an integer array/list(ARR) of size 'N'. It only contains 0s, 1s and 2s. Write a solution to sort this array/list.

Note :

Try to solve the problem in 'Single Scan'. ' Single Scan' refers to iterating over the array/list just once or to put it in other words, you will be visiting each element in the array/list just once.

Given a sequence of ‘N’ space-separated non-negative integers A[1],A[2],A[3],......A[i]…...A[n]. Where each number of the sequence represents the height of the line drawn at point 'i'. Hence on the cartesian plane, each line is drawn from coordinate ('i',0) to coordinate ('i', 'A[i]'), here ‘i’ ranges from 1 to ‘N’. Find two lines, which, together with the x-axis forms a container, such that the container contains the most area of water.

Note :

1. You can not slant the container i.e. the height of the water is equal to the minimum height of the two lines which define the container.

2. Do not print anything, you just need to return the area of the container with maximum water.

Example

For the above Diagram, the first red marked line is formed between coordinates (2,0) and (2,10), and the second red-marked line is formed between coordinates (5,0) and (5,9). The area of water contained between these two lines is (height* width) = (5-2)* 9 = 27, which is the maximum area contained between any two lines present on the plane. So in this case, we will return 3* 9=27.

For a given two-dimensional integer array/list of size (N x M), print it in a spiral form. That is, you need to print in the order followed for every iteration:

a. First row(left to right)
b. Last column(top to bottom)
c. Last row(right to left)
d. First column(bottom to top)

 Mind that every element will be printed only once.

Mention a time when you over-delivered than someone's expectations.

Mention a time when you gave a solution that is out of the box.

You have been given a binary tree of integers. You are supposed to serialize and deserialize (refer to notes) the given binary tree.

You can choose any algorithm to serialize/deserialize the given binary tree. You only have to ensure that the serialized string can be deserialized to the original binary tree.

Note :

Serialization is the process of translating a data structure or object state into a format that can be stored or transmitted (for example, across a computer network) and reconstructed later. The opposite operation, that is, extracting a data structure from stored information, is deserialization.
