MicrosoftHewlett Packard EnterpriseAmerican Express

Given a non-negative number represented as an array of digits, you have to add 1 to the number, i.e, increment the given number by one.

The digits are stored such that the most significant digit is at the starting of the array and the least significant digit is at the end of the array.

For Example
If the given array is {1,5,2}, the returned array should be {1,5,3}.
Note
Input array can contain leading zeros, but the output array should not contain any leading zeros (even if the input array contains leading zeroes).
For Example: 
If the given array is {0,2}, the returned array should be {3}.

You are given an array of pairs of strings 'EQUATIONS', and an array of real numbers 'VALUES'. Each element of the 'EQUATIONS' array denotes a fraction where the first string denotes the numerator variable and the second string denotes the denominator variable, and the corresponding element in 'VALUES' denotes the value this fraction is equal to.

You are given ‘Q’ queries, and each query consists of two strings representing the numerator and the denominator of a fraction. You have to return the value of the given fraction for each query. Return -1 if the value cannot be determined.

Example :
'EQUATIONS' = { {“a”, ”s”} , {“s”, “r”} }
'VALUES' = { 1.5, 2 }
queries = { {“a”, “r” } }

For the above example (a / s) = 1.5 and (s / r) = 2 therefore (a / r) = 1.5 * 2 = 3.

You have been given a Binary Tree of integers. You are supposed to return the maximum width of the given Binary Tree. The maximum width of the tree is the maximum width among all the levels of the given tree.


The width of one level is defined as the length between the leftmost and the rightmost, non-null nodes in the level, where the null nodes in between the leftmost and rightmost are excluded into length calculation.


For example :
For the given binary tree

Example

The maximum width will be at the third level with the length of 3, i.e. {4, 5, 6}.

2. OS Question

What is Cache memory? (Learn)

Problem approach

Cache memory is an extremely fast memory type that acts as a buffer between RAM and the CPU. It holds frequently requested data and instructions so that they are immediately available to the CPU when needed.

3. OS Question

What is virtual memory? (Learn)

Problem approach

Virtual Memory is a storage scheme that provides user an illusion of having a very big main memory. This is done by treating a part of secondary memory as the main memory.

4. DBMS Question

What is Sharding? (Learn)

Problem approach

Sharding is a method of splitting and storing a single logical dataset in multiple databases. By distributing the data among multiple machines, a cluster of database systems can store larger dataset and handle additional requests.
