Tip
Tip

Tip 1 : Do not rush into things. Learning takes time. Focus should be on the concepts and not just on leaving topics half-prepared. Devote 70% of both time and effort to DSA. I solved a total of around 500 questions on sites like GFG and Leetcode. Do not repeat similar questions just to increase the count of the number of questions

Tip 2 : Competitive Programming is a bonus and not a necessity, rather focus on core DSA based problems before trying CP. Do not pursue CP if you do not like it. Devote that extra time to core CS subjects and aptitude preparation.

Tip 3 : Projects play an important role too, do no ignore them. Try to get your hands dirty with a little bit of every field i.e., frontend, backend, and database.

Resume Tip
Resume tip

Tip 1 : Try to make a single-page resume. Highlight skills, projects, and work experience more than CGPA. Ensure proper spacing and font to maintain professionalism.

Tip 2 : Does not lie on a resume. Everything written on your resume must be known by you in and out.

Given a binary tree, write a function that returns a list containing all the leaf nodes of the binary tree in the order in which they appear from left to right. In case two leaf nodes are at the same distance from the leftmost node, the one that has a lesser depth has to be printed first.

 Remember/Consider:
If both horizontal and vertical distances are the same for two leaf nodes, then print the one with smaller node data.
Problem approach

Given a binary tree, we need to write a program to print all leaf nodes of the given binary tree from left to right. That is, the nodes should be printed in the order they appear from left to right in the given tree.

You have been given a linked list of integers. Your task is to write a function that deletes a node from a given position, 'POS'.

Note :
Assume that the Indexing for the linked list always starts from 0.

If the position is greater than or equal to the length of the linked list, you should return the same linked list without any change.
Illustration :
The following images depict how the deletion has been performed.

1. Minimum Operations

BNY MellonLinkedInThought Works

You are given an array 'ARR' of 'N' positive integers. You need to find the minimum number of operations needed to make all elements of the array equal. You can perform addition, multiplication, subtraction or division with any element on an array element.

Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication or Division on any element of the array will be considered as a single operation.

Example:

If the given array is [1,2,3] then the answer would be 2. One of the ways to make all the elements of the given array equal is by adding 1 to the array element with value 1 and subtracting 1 from the array element with value 3. So that final array would become [2,2,2]. 
Problem approach

Find the minimum operations you would require to convert a string to its given permutation. Take a character from anywhere and put it in the end - this is the only operation which is allowed.

You have been given a binary tree of 'N' nodes. Print the Spiral Order traversal of this binary tree.

For example
For the given binary tree [1, 2, 3, -1, -1, 4, 5, -1, -1, -1, -1]
    1
   / \
  2   3
     / \
    4   5

Output: 1 3 2 4 5
Problem approach

Print the binary Tree in spiral order.
