You are given a string (STR) of length N, consisting of only the lower case English alphabet.

Your task is to remove all the duplicate occurrences of characters in the string.

For Example:

If the given string is:
abcadeecfb

Then after deleting all duplicate occurrences, the string looks like this:
abcdef

Cut a circular cake into 8 pieces with only 3 cuts

You have been given a number of stairs. Initially, you are at the 0th stair, and you need to reach the Nth stair.

Each time, you can climb either one step or two steps.

You are supposed to return the number of distinct ways you can climb from the 0th step to the Nth step.

Example :

N=3

We can climb one step at a time i.e. {(0, 1) ,(1, 2),(2,3)} or we can climb the first two-step and then one step i.e. {(0,2),(1, 3)} or we can climb first one step and then two step i.e. {(0,1), (1,3)}.

Questions around my web development project. What was the impact, what was my role and what challenges i faced.

The lowest common ancestor (LCA) is a concept in graph theory and computer science.

Let ‘T’ be a rooted tree with ‘N’ nodes. The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes, ‘u’ and ‘v’, as the lowest node in ‘T’ that has both ‘u’ and ‘v’ as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself). - Wikipedia

For the given tree, The LCA of nodes 5 and 8 will be node 2, as node 2 is the first node that lies in the path from node 5 to root node 1 and from node 8 to root node 1.

Path from node 5 to root node looks like 5 → 2 → 1.

Path from node 8 to root node looks like 8 → 6 → 2 → 1.

Since 2 is the first node that lies in both paths. Hence LCA will be 2.

Given any two nodes ‘u’ and ‘v’, find the LCA for the two nodes in the given Tree ‘T’.

Note: For each test case, the tree is rooted at node 1.

I was asked to present the design of my project on a paper. Was asked how it can handle huge traffic in future. And what were my learnings during the project
