AmazonDunzoDeutsche Bank

You are given an array/list ‘ARR’ of ‘N’ positive integers and an integer ‘K’. Your task is to check if there exists a subset in ‘ARR’ with a sum equal to ‘K’.

Note: Return true if there exists a subset with sum equal to ‘K’. Otherwise, return false.

For Example :
If ‘ARR’ is {1,2,3,4} and ‘K’ = 4, then there exists 2 subsets with sum = 4. These are {1,3} and {4}. Hence, return true.

2. Most Frequent Word

You are given a paragraph that may have letters both in lowercase and uppercase, spaces, and punctuation. You have also given a list of banned words. Now your task is to find the most frequent word which is not in the list of banned words. There will always be a solution, and the solution will be unique.

While comparing words, you can ignore whether the letter is lowercase or uppercase. For example, ‘AsK’ and ‘aSK’ are the same. The words will always contain only alphabets or we can say words will be separated by spaces or punctuation. The answer will be in uppercase letters.

The words in the banned list will always be in upper letters and free from punctuation and spaces.

For example :

Paragraph = ‘It's a square SqUare. It's a FLAT flat.’ 
Banned =[FLAT, IT, S]. 
So we can see these words [IT, S, SQUARE, FLAT ]  are most frequent.
Now we will look at to banned list and we can see 3 of the words are banned.
So we have a unique answer SQUARE which has a frequency of 2 and not on the banned list.

Bubble Sort is one of the sorting algorithms that works by repeatedly swapping the adjacent elements of the array if they are not in sorted order.

You are given an unsorted array consisting of N non-negative integers. Your task is to sort the array in non-decreasing order using the Bubble Sort algorithm.

For Example:
Bubble Sort implementation for the given array:  {6,2,8,4,10} is shown below :-
