MathworksLivekeeping (An IndiaMART Company)Goldman Sachs

You are given a string 'str' of length 'N'.


Your task is to return the longest palindromic substring. If there are multiple strings, return any.


A substring is a contiguous segment of a string.


For example :
str = "ababc"

The longest palindromic substring of "ababc" is "aba", since "aba" is a palindrome and it is the longest substring of length 3 which is a palindrome. 

There is another palindromic substring of length 3 is "bab". Since starting index of "aba" is less than "bab", so "aba" is the answer.

AmazonUrban Company (UrbanClap)Microsoft

You are given a 2D matrix 'ARR' (containing either ‘0’ or ‘1’) of size 'N' x 'M', where each row is in sorted order.


Find the 0-based index of the first row with the maximum number of 1's.


Note :
If two rows have the same number of 1’s, return the row with a lower index.

If no row exists where at-least one '1' is present, return -1.


Example:
Input: ‘N’ = 3, 'M' = 3
'ARR' = 
[     [ 1,  1,  1 ],
      [ 0,  0,  1 ],
      [ 0,  0,  0 ]   ]

Output: 0

Explanation: The 0th row of the given matrix has the maximum number of ones.
