You are given an array of n integers (a1, a2,....,an), you need to find if the array contains a pythagorean triplet or not.

An array is said to have a pythagorean triplet if there exists three integers x,y and z in the array such that x^2 + y^2 = z^2.

Note
1. The integers x,y and z might not be distinct , but they should be present at different locations in the array i.e if a[i] = x, a[j] = y and a[k] = z, then i,j and k should be pairwise distinct.
2. The integers a,b and c can be present in any order in the given array.

Ninja went to an amusement park and visited a maze. Now, he is stuck in the maze. He can go in any direction(Up, Down, Left, or Right) from this point, but he cannot change his direction of motion until he comes across a wall in its path. Once he stops, he can choose his new direction.

Now, you are given Ninja’s starting point, the destination he wants to reach, and the maze in the form of a 2D matrix. You need to find out if Ninja can reach the destination from the starting point or not.

The maze is represented by a 2D array. ‘1’ means Ninja came across a wall and he needs to stop. ‘0’ means that it is an empty space and he can keep moving.

The coordinates of starting point and destination are represented by row and column numbers.

For Example
Given maze: {[0, 0, 1], [1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0]} 
Starting point: [2, 2]
Destination: [0, 0]

For the above example maze will look like this:

maze

So, we can see there are 2 ways for Ninja to reach destination(D), from the starting point(SP). They are: [left -> up -> left] and [up -> left -> up -> left].
So, you need to print true.

Asked in companies
SalesforceUberPayU

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.
Problem approach

Step 1 : First I checked with by generating all the subarrays and checking whether my given sum is equal to any of the subarray.
Step 2 : Time complexity for this approach was O(n^2). Interviewer asked me to optimize the solution
Step 3 : I have given him the two pointer approach to find the subarray
