You are given a 2D board('N' rows and 'M' columns) of characters and a string 'word'.


Your task is to return true if the given word exists in the grid, else return false. The word can be constructed from letters of sequentially adjacent cells, where adjacent cells are horizontally or vertically neighboring.


Note:
The same letter cell should not be used more than once.
For Example:
For a given word “design” and the given 2D board 
[[q’, ‘v’, ‘m’, ‘h’],
 [‘d’, ‘e’, ‘s’, ‘i’],
 [‘d’, ‘g’, ‘f’, ‘g’],
 [‘e’, ‘c’, ‘p’, ‘n’]]

The word design can be formed by sequentially adjacent cells as shown by the highlighted color in the 2nd row and last column.

2. 0 1 Knapsack

A thief is robbing a store and can carry a maximum weight of ‘W’ into his knapsack. There are 'N' items available in the store and the weight and value of each item is known to the thief. Considering the constraints of the maximum weight that a knapsack can carry, you have to find the maximum profit that a thief can generate by stealing items.

Note: The thief is not allowed to break the items.

For example, N = 4, W = 10 and the weights and values of items are weights = [6, 1, 5, 3] and values = [3, 6, 1, 4]. Then the best way to fill the knapsack is to choose items with weight 6, 1 and 3. The total value of knapsack = 3 + 6 + 4 = 13.

You are given an arbitrary binary tree consisting of N nodes where each node is associated with a certain integer value from 1 to 9. Consider each root to leaf path as a number.

For example:

       1
      /  \
     2    3

The root to leaf path 1->2 represents the number 12.
The root to leaf path 1->3 represents the number 13.

Your task is to find the total sum of all the possible root to leaf paths.

In the above example,

The total sum of all the possible root to leaf paths is 12+13 = 25
Note:
The output may be very large, return the answer after taking modulus with (10^9+7).

Coding problem1

System Design- Similar to the SplitWise application
No code is expected but I tried to give pseudo code which consumed more time than I thought.
Able to cover only some requirements and failed to manage time in a better way.
 

1. System Design Question

Design a Splitwise Application.

For splitting bills with friends and family, Splitwise can track each expense and the amount that each person in the group owes. Rather than paying each bill individually, the app allows users to total all of the expenses that they owe and automatically transfer the total payment to others in the group.
