Asked in companies
Morgan StanleyHewlett Packard EnterpriseSprinklr

You have been given an integer array/list(ARR) of size N which contains numbers from 0 to (N - 2). Each number is present at least once. That is, if N = 5, the array/list constitutes values ranging from 0 to 3 and among these, there is a single integer value that is present twice. You need to find and return that duplicate number present in the array.

Note :
Duplicate number is always present in the given array/list.
Problem approach

Use the array indexes as storage and apply module operation to find the repertitive no

Bubble Sort is one of the sorting algorithms that works by repeatedly swapping the adjacent elements of the array if they are not in sorted order.

You are given an unsorted array consisting of N non-negative integers. Your task is to sort the array in non-decreasing order using the Bubble Sort algorithm.

For Example:
Bubble Sort implementation for the given array:  {6,2,8,4,10} is shown below :-

1. Shortest path in an unweighted graph

The city of Ninjaland is analogous to the unweighted graph. The city has ‘N’ houses numbered from 1 to ‘N’ respectively and are connected by M bidirectional roads. If a road is connecting two houses ‘X’ and ‘Y’ which means you can go from ‘X’ to ‘Y’ or ‘Y’ to ‘X’. It is guaranteed that you can reach any house from any other house via some combination of roads. Two houses are directly connected by at max one road.

A path between house ‘S’ to house ‘T’ is defined as a sequence of vertices from ‘S’ to ‘T’. Where starting house is ‘S’ and the ending house is ‘T’ and there is a road connecting two consecutive houses. Basically, the path looks like this: (S , h1 , h2 , h3 , ... T). you have to find the shortest path from ‘S’ to ‘T’.

For example
In the below map of Ninjaland let say you want to go from S=1 to T=8, the shortest path is (1, 3, 8). You can also go from S=1 to T=8  via (1, 2, 5, 8)  or (1, 4, 6, 7, 8) but these paths are not shortest.
