You are given 'N' jobs with their start time 'Start', end time 'End' and profit 'Profit'. You need to tell the maximum profit you can obtain by performing these jobs such that no two jobs overlap.

Note:
The start time of one job can be equal to the end time of another.
Problem approach

As the profit is different here so greedy one will not work here.
We will sort according to finish time.
Then we will take next job which has start time equal or greater than previous one.

You are given an array/list ARR of integers and a positive integer ‘K’. Your task is to find two non-overlapping subarrays (contiguous) each of length ‘K’ such that the total sum of these subarrays is maximum.

For Example:
If you are given ARR = [2, 5, 1, 2, 7, 3, 0] and K = 2, the output is 17. 

We can choose non-overlapping subarrays [2, 5] and [7, 3] to get a total sum of 17 (i.e. 2 + 5 + 7 + 3) which is the maximum possible sum.

You can assume that the array will always contain at least two non-overlapping subarrays with size ‘K’. So, the answer will always exist.

You are given a string ‘STR’. You need to find and return the minimum number of characters to be deleted from ‘STR’ so that the frequency of each character in the string becomes unique.

Example:
If the given string is “aaBBccc” then the frequency of characters: { a:2, B:2, c:3 }. Now, as ‘a’ and ‘B’ both have the same frequency 2, we need to delete one character either one ‘a’ or one ‘B’, to make their frequency different. After deleting any character we will get frequency as 1,2 and 3, as they all are different. Thus we got our solution as 1.
