You are given a QUEUE containing ‘N’ integers and an integer ‘K’. You need to reverse the order of the first ‘K’ elements of the queue, leaving the other elements in the same relative order.

You can only use the standard operations of the QUEUE STL:

1. enqueue(x) : Adds an item x to rear of the queue
2. dequeue() : Removes an item from front of the queue
3. size() : Returns number of elements in the queue.
4. front() : Finds the front element.
For Example:
Let the given queue be { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } and K be 3.
You need to reverse the first K integers of Queue which are 1, 2, and 3.
Thus, the final response will be { 3, 2, 1, 4, 5 }.

Asked in companies
PhonePeChegg Inc.Barclays

For a given array with N elements, you need to find the length of the longest subsequence from the array such that all the elements of the subsequence are sorted in strictly increasing order.

Strictly Increasing Sequence is when each term in the sequence is larger than the preceding term.

For example:
[1, 2, 3, 4] is a strictly increasing array, while [2, 1, 4, 3] is not.
Problem approach

Standard problem, I told the optimal solution which can be done using dynamic programming
