You are given two numbers, ‘X’ and ‘Y’. Your task is to find the greatest common divisor of the given two numbers.

The Greatest Common Divisor of any two integers is the largest number that divides both integers.

For Example:
You are given ‘X’ as 20 and ‘Y’ as 15. The greatest common divisor, which divides both 15 and 20, is 5. Hence the answer is 5.

The Interview was scheduled at 6 PM, and the interview was very nice. He was 5 years experienced. First he gave me his introduction and he asked me to give me mine. Then we discussed about my projects what all technologies I used and as I mentioned my GitHub and website link he opened and asked some questions from it. Then he straight away jumped to the DSA part.

You are given two integer arrays ARR1 and ARR2 of length N and M respectively. You have to return true if ARR2 is a subset of ARR1, otherwise, return false.

For Example:

If the given arrays are [1, 2, 3] and [1, 2] then you need to return true as ARR2 is a subset of ARR1, but if the given arrays are [1, 2, 3] and [1, 2, 2] then you need to return false since ARR2 is not a subset of ARR1.
Problem approach

Here I gave him the Map approach that first we will insert all the elements of array one and find if all the elements of array two is present in the map or not

Given a non-negative number represented as an array of digits, you have to add 1 to the number, i.e, increment the given number by one.

The digits are stored such that the most significant digit is at the starting of the array and the least significant digit is at the end of the array.

For Example
If the given array is {1,5,2}, the returned array should be {1,5,3}.
Note
Input array can contain leading zeros, but the output array should not contain any leading zeros (even if the input array contains leading zeroes).
For Example: 
If the given array is {0,2}, the returned array should be {3}.
Problem approach

I used the carry and sum technique in this question. If the last number isn't 9 then we can straight away add 1 to the last index but if it is 9 then we have a maintain a carry of value 1 and we have to make the value of index at that point as zero. We will iterate till we cant find a number whose sum is less than or equal to 9 or till the pointer doesn't reach to the starting of the array.
