Tip
Tip

Tip 1 : Graph should be on your tips.
Tip 2 : while explaining the solution to interviewer, dont just hop onto the most optimal solution. Start with the brute force one, give the cons of brute force solution, and then go step by step till you reach the optimal solution.
Tip 3 : Improve on your communication skills as well.

Application process

Given a binary tree of integers, you are supposed to modify the given binary tree to a sum tree where each node value is replaced by the sum of the values of both left and right subtrees in the given tree. The value of leaf nodes is changed to zero.

Example:
Below is the example showing the input tree and its sum tree.

You have been given a string STR. Your task is to find the total number of palindromic substrings of STR.

Example :
If the input string is "abbc", then all the possible palindromic substrings would be: ["a", "b", "b", c", "bb"] and hence, the output will be 5 since we have 5 substrings in total which form a palindrome.
Note :
A string is said to be a 'Palindrome' if it is read the same forwards and backwards. 
For example, “abba” is a palindrome, but “abbc” is not.

A 'Substring' is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string. 
For example, "a", "b", "c", "ab", "bc", "abc" are substrings of "abc".

Given a sequence of numbers. Find all leaders in sequence. An element is a leader if it is strictly greater than all the elements on its right side.

Note:
1. Rightmost element is always a leader.

2. The order of elements in the return sequence must be the same as the given sequence
Example:
The given sequence is 13, 14, 3, 8, 2 .

13 Not a leader because on the right side 14 is greater than 13.

14 lt is a leader because no one greater element in the right side.

3 Not a leader because on the right side 8 are greater than 3.

8 It is a leader because no one greater element on the right side.

2 It is a leader because it is the rightmost element in a sequence.

Hence there are 3 leaders in the above sequence which are 14, 8, 2.

GrabThalesSterlite Technologies Limited

You are given a Singly Linked List of integers. Return true if it has a cycle, else return false.


A cycle occurs when a node's next points back to a previous node in the list.


Example:
In the given linked list, there is a cycle, hence we return true.

Sample Example 1

Problem approach

You have given a Singly Linked List of integers, determine if it forms a cycle or not.
A cycle occurs when a node's next points back to a previous node in the list. The linked list is no longer linear with a beginning and end—instead, it cycles through a loop of nodes.
Note: Since, it is binary problem, there is no partial marking. Marks will only be awarded if you get all the test cases correct.
