HSBCAmazonThought Works

You are given a Singly Linked List of integers. You have to return true if the linked list is palindrome, else return false.


A Linked List is a palindrome if it reads the same from left to right and from right to left.


Example:
The lists (1 -> 2 -> 1), (3 -> 4 -> 4-> 3), and (1) are palindromes, while the lists (1 -> 2 -> 3) and (3 -> 4) are not.
Problem approach

Using two pointer technique (left and right)
This belongs to DP if recursion is used.
Another approach is using stack.

Info Edge India (Naukri.com)DelhiveryIntuit

You are given an array of integers 'ARR' of size 'N' and another integer 'K'.


Your task is to find and return 'K'th smallest value present in the array.


Note: All the elements in the array are distinct.


Example
If 'N' is 5 and 'K' is 3 and the array is 7, 2, 6, 1, 9

Sorting the array we get 1, 2, 6, 7, 9

Hence the 3rd smallest number is 6.
Problem approach

2. In built ds - Priority queue was a best choice for finding the kth smallest or largest number as it uses heap sort internally.
