FacebookSprinklrOptum

You are given an undirected graph G(V, E), where ‘V’ is the number of vertices and ‘E’ is the number of edges present in the graph and two integers ‘v1’ and ‘v2’ denoting vertices of the graph, find and print the path from ‘v1’ to ‘v2’ (if exists) in reverse order. Print an empty list if there is no path between ‘v1’ and ‘v2’.

Find the path using DFS and print the first path that you encountered.

Note:
Vertices are numbered through 0 to V-1.

2. Interleaving Two Strings

You are given three strings 'A', 'B' and 'C'. Check whether 'C' is formed by an interleaving of 'A' and 'B'.

'C' is said to be interleaving 'A' and 'B', if the length of 'C' is equal to the sum of the length of 'A' and length of 'B', all the characters of 'A' and 'B' are present in 'C' and the order of all these characters remains the same in all three strings.

For Example:
If A = “aab”, 'B' = “abc”, 'C' = “aaabbc”
Here 'C' is an interleaving string of 'A' and 'B'. because 'C' contains all the characters of 'A' and 'B' and the order of all these characters is also the same in all three strings.

interleaving

If 'A' = “abc”, 'B' = “def”, 'C' = “abcdefg”
Here 'C' is not an interleaving string of 'A' and 'B'. 'B'ecause neither A nor 'B' contains the character ‘g’.

CIS - Cyber InfrastructureMakeMyTripExpedia Group

You are given a Circular Linked List of integers, and an integer, 'key'.

You have to write a function that finds the given key in the list and deletes it. If no such key is present, then the list remains unchanged.

For Example :
This is a visualization of the Circular Linked List, represented by:
1 2 3 4 5 -1

linked_list_1

Note :
The Circular Linked List before/after deletion may happen to be empty. In that case, only print -1.

All integers in the list are unique.

Media.netExpedia GroupQuikr

You are given an integer array 'ARR' of size 'N' and an integer 'S'. Your task is to return the list of all pairs of elements such that each sum of elements of each pair equals 'S'.

Note:

Each pair should be sorted i.e the first value should be less than or equals to the second value. 

Return the list of pairs sorted in non-decreasing order of their first value. In case if two pairs have the same first value, the pair with a smaller second value should come first.

FacebookGoldman SachsAmazon

You have been given a directed graph of 'V' vertices and 'E' edges.

Your task is to count the total number of ways to reach different nodes in the graph from the given source node ‘S’. A way is called as different from others if the destination node or used edges differ.

As the total number of such ways can be large, print the total ways modulo 10 ^ 9 + 7.

Note:

1. Include the source node as a destination also.
2. There are no cycles in the given graph.
