You are given an array consisting of 'N' elements and you need to perform 'Q' queries on the given array. Each query consists of an integer which tells the number of elements by which you need to left rotate the given array. For each query return the final array obtained after performing the left rotations.

Note:

Perform each query on the original array only i.e. every output should be according to the original order of elements.

Example:

Let the array be [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] and the queries be {2, 4, 1}. For every query, we’ll perform the required number of left rotations on the array.

For the first query, rotate the given array to the left by 2 elements, so the resultant array is: [3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2].

For the second query, rotate the given array to the left by 4 elements, so the resultant array is: [5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4].

For the third query, rotate the given array to the left by 1 element, so the resultant array is: [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1].
Problem approach

The steps were similar to the famous array rotation question. Rotate the array using required loops.

You’re given a slot machine with four slots where each slot will contain the color Red(R), Yellow(Y), Green(G), Blue(B), respectively. You don’t know the colors of this slot beforehand. You have to guess the colors. When you guess the correct color for the correct slot, you get a perfect hit, and you get 2 points, but if you guess a color that exists in the machine but is in the wrong slot, you get a pseudo hit, and you get 1 point.

You’re given the original string representing the slots’ colors and the guess string, and your task is to calculate and return the total number of points you have scored.

Note:

A slot that has been counted as a perfect hit can never count as a pseudo-hit.

Example:

Original String = “RGYB” and Guess String = “YGRR”.

Alt text

The second slot of both the guess and original matches, hence it’s a perfect hit. The guess string contains yellow, which is also present in the original string but not at the same slot as the guess slot. Hence it’s a pseudo hit. The guess string also contains two red slots, but the original string contains only one red which is also not at the same slot as the guess string; hence it is also a pseudo hit. Therefore total points will be 2+1+1= 4.

You are given an integer 'N'. For a given 'N' x 'N' chessboard, find a way to place 'N' queens such that no queen can attack any other queen on the chessboard.

A queen can be killed when it lies in the same row, or same column, or the same diagonal of any of the other queens. You have to print all such configurations.

The interviewer was supportive and he asked me various questions. He asked me a question similar to N Sum. Asked me to optimise it as much as possible. Had discussion over topics such related to oops, Java, Java script, data structures, DBMS, Trees, graphs, some named algorithm, merge sort etc

1. Pair Sum

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

Start with a brute force solution with time complexity N^x, where N is size of the array and x is the number of elements to add. Tried my best to bring down the time complexity to some extent.
