You are given an 'N * N' matrix of integers where each row and each column is sorted in increasing order. You are given a target integer 'X'.


Find the position of 'X' in the matrix. If it exists then return the pair {i, j} where 'i' represents the row and 'j' represents the column of the array, otherwise return {-1,-1}


For example:
If the given matrix is:
[ [1, 2, 5],
  [3, 4, 9],
  [6, 7, 10]] 
We have to find the position of 4. We will return {1,1} since A[1][1] = 4.

For a given two-dimensional integer array/list ‘ARR’ of size (N x M), print the ‘ARR’ in a sine wave order, i.e., print the first column top to bottom, next column bottom to top, and so on.

For eg:-

The sine wave for the matrix:-
1 2
3 4
will be [1, 3, 4, 2].

Asked in companies
AmazonAdobeChegg Inc.

You are given an array/list NUM of integers. You are supposed to rearrange the elements of NUM such that no two adjacent elements will be the same or find out if it not possible.

For example:
Input: arr[] = {1,1,1,2,2,2} 
Output: {1,2,1,2,1,2}

Note: {2,1,2,1,2,1} is also valid because there are no two adjacent elements which are the same.
