You are given a string ‘expression’ consists of characters ‘+’, ‘-’, ‘*’, ‘/’, ‘(‘, ‘)’ and ‘0’ to ‘9’, that represents an Arithmetic Expression in Infix Notation. Your task is to evaluate this Arithmetic Expression.

In Infix Notation, operators are written in-between their operands.

Note :

1. We consider the ‘/’ operator as the floor division.

2. Operators ‘*’ and ‘/’ expression has higher precedence over operators‘+’ and ‘-’ 

3. String expression always starts with ‘(‘ and ends with ‘)’.

4. It is guaranteed that ‘expression’ represents’ a valid expression in Infix notation.

5. It is guaranteed that there will be no case that requires division by 0.

6. No characters other than those mentioned above are present in the string. 

7. It is guaranteed that the operands and final result will fit in a 32-bit integer.

For example :

Consider string ‘expression’ = ‘((2+3)*(5/2))’. 
Then it’s value after evaluation will be ((5)*(2)) = 10. 

You are given an array “arr'' of integers. Your task is to find the contiguous subarray within the array which has the largest product of its elements. You have to report this maximum product.

An array c is a subarray of array d if c can be obtained from d by deletion of several elements from the beginning and several elements from the end.

For e.g.- The non-empty subarrays of an array [1,2,3] will be- [1],[2],[3],[1,2],[2,3],[1,2,3]. 

For Example:

If arr = {-3,4,5}.
All the possible non-empty contiguous subarrays of “arr” are {-3}, {4}, {5}, {-3,4}, {4,5} and {-3,4,5}.
The product of these subarrays are -3, 4, 5, -12, 20 and -60 respectively.
The maximum product is 20. Hence, the answer is 20.

Can you solve this in linear time and constant space complexity?

Given the time in hours and minutes, you need to calculate the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand.

Note :

There can be two angles between the hour hand and minute hand, you need to print a minimum of two. Also, print the floor value of angle i.e. if the angle is 15.2, you need to print 15.

Just a discussion about my candidature and what the team has to offer me. We discussed my interviews and my skills for the role. All of my interviews were held between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. The interviewer was very friendly and ensured I was not getting anxious.
