You are given an array A of length N, where N is always an odd integer. There are (N-1)/2 elements in the array that occur twice and one element which occurs once.

Your task is to find the only element that occurs once in the array.

Note: There are (N-1)/2+1 elements that are unique in the array.

Example:
Consider the array be 1,6,4,6,2,4,2
The integers 2, 4, 6 occur twice and only the integer 1 occurs once.

HCL TechnologiesWells FargoSquadstack

You are given an integer ‘N’. You have to print the value of Factorial of ‘N’. The Factorial of a number ‘N’ is defined as the product of all numbers from 1 to ‘N’.

For Example:
Consider if ‘N’ = 4, the Factorial of 4 will be the product of all numbers from 1 to 4, which is 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 = 24. Hence, the answer is 24.
Problem approach

Using recursion

1.Define a function that takes a positive integer as input and returns its factorial. This function will call itself recursively with smaller inputs until it reaches the base case.
2.Define the base case for the recursive function. The factorial of 0 is 1, so the base case should return 1 when the input is 0.
3.In the recursive case, multiply the input by the factorial of the input minus 1. This will continue until the base case is reached.

Using normal traversal

1.Define a variable to hold the factorial, initially set to 1.
2.Use a loop to iterate over the integers from 1 to the input number. For each integer, multiply the current value of the factorial variable by the integer.
3.After the loop finishes, the factorial variable will contain the factorial of the input number.

You are given an integer array 'A' of size 'N', sorted in non-decreasing order. You are also given an integer 'target'. Your task is to write a function to search for 'target' in the array 'A'. If it exists, return its index in 0-based indexing. If 'target' is not present in the array 'A', return -1.


Note:
You must write an algorithm whose time complexity is O(LogN)


Problem approach

Pseudocode of Iterative Binary Search Algorithm:
binarySearch(arr, x, low, high)
repeat till low = high
mid = (low + high)/2
if (x = arr[mid])
return mid
else if (x > arr[mid])
low = mid + 1
else
high = mid – 1

Please walk me through your thought process and the steps you would take to address the conflict.

Problem approach

Tip 1 : Active listening: Make sure you listen carefully to the problem statement, and ask clarifying questions if necessary. It is essential to understand the problem completely before attempting to solve it.
Tip 2 : Show empathy: Show that you understand the team member's perspective and that you are empathetic to their situation. This will help establish trust and rapport.
