Asked in companies
You are given a string ‘S’. You are also given ‘M’ integers in an array ‘A’. You perform ‘M’ operations on this string. The operations are given in an array ‘A’ of size ‘M’.
You perform the operations in the order they appear in the array ‘A’. In the ‘i’th operation, you reverse the substring of ‘S’ from the position ‘A[i]’ to ‘len(S)’ - ‘A[i]’ - 1 (0 based).
Your task is to find the string after performing all the operations.
Example :
‘S’ = “aabcd”, ‘M’ = 2, ‘A’ = [0, 1]
After 1st operation i.e, reversing from [0, 4], ‘S’ = “dcbaa”.
After 2nd operation i.e, reversing from [1, 3], ‘S’ = “dabca”.
Hence, the answer is “dabca”.

Asked in companies
You have been given an integer 'N'.
Your task is to return true if it is a power of two. Otherwise, return false.
An integer 'N' is a power of two, if it can be expressed as 2 ^ 'K' where 'K' is an integer.
For example:
'N' = 4,
4 can be represented as 2^2. So, 4 is the power of two, and hence true is our answer.
