You are given a 2D board('N' rows and 'M' columns) of characters and a string 'word'.


Your task is to return true if the given word exists in the grid, else return false. The word can be constructed from letters of sequentially adjacent cells, where adjacent cells are horizontally or vertically neighboring.


Note:
The same letter cell should not be used more than once.
For Example:
For a given word “design” and the given 2D board 
[[q’, ‘v’, ‘m’, ‘h’],
 [‘d’, ‘e’, ‘s’, ‘i’],
 [‘d’, ‘g’, ‘f’, ‘g’],
 [‘e’, ‘c’, ‘p’, ‘n’]]

The word design can be formed by sequentially adjacent cells as shown by the highlighted color in the 2nd row and last column.

board

Problem approach

You are given a 2D board(N rows and M columns) of characters and a string “word”. Your task is to check if the given word exists in the grid or not. The word can be constructed from letters of sequentially adjacent cells, where “adjacent” cells are horizontally or vertically neighboring.

You have been given two singly Linked Lists, where each of them represents a positive number without any leading zeros.

Your task is to add these two numbers and print the summation in the form of a linked list.

Example:
If the first linked list is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> NULL and the second linked list is 4 -> 5 -> NULL.

The two numbers represented by these two lists are 12345 and 45, respectively. So, adding these two numbers gives 12390. 

So, the linked list representation of this number is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 9 -> 0 -> NULL.
Problem approach

You are given two linked lists representing two non-negative numbers. The digits in the linked list are stored in reverse order, i.e. starting from least significant digit (LSD) to the most significant digit (MSD), and each of their nodes contains a single digit. Your task is to find the sum list and return the head of the sum list where the sum list is a linked list representation of the addition of two numbers.

You're given a string 'S' consisting of "{", "}", "(", ")", "[" and "]" .


Return true if the given string 'S' is balanced, else return false.


For example:
'S' = "{}()".

There is always an opening brace before a closing brace i.e. '{' before '}', '(' before ').
So the 'S' is Balanced.
Problem approach

You're given string ‘STR’ consisting solely of “{“, “}”, “(“, “)”, “[“ and “]” . Determine whether the parentheses are balanced.

1. Basic HR Questions

Have you considered starting your own business?

How do you define success and how do you measure up to your own definition?

How much salary do you expect?

Tell me something about our company.

Problem approach

To be very honest, currently, I don't have any idea about that. Because starting your own business must have a plan knowledge idea and more importantly budget. So I am just a fresher now. In future it might be.

Here's your problem of the day

Solving this problem will increase your chance to get selected in this company
