OlaGoldman SachsIBM

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.

Given a leaderboard of a game with the following ranking pattern:

The player with the highest score is ranked number 1 on the leaderboard.

Players who have equal scores receive the same ranking number, and the next player(s) receive the immediately following ranking number.

You are given game scores of a player of ‘M’ rounds. Your task is to return the position obtained in each round.

Note:
The leaderboard scores are in descending order.
The game scores are given in ascending order.

You are given a multi-level linked list of 'N' nodes, each node has a next and child pointer which may or may not point to a separate node. Flatten the multi-level linked list into a singly linked list. You need to return the head of the updated linked list.

Example:

You have been given an array/list ARR consisting of ‘N’ integers. You are also given a positive integer ‘K’.

Your task is to find the lexicographically smallest ARR that can be obtained by swapping at most K consecutive elements.

An array/list P is lexicographically smaller than its permutation Q if and only if, for the earliest index at which P and Q differ, P's element at that index is smaller than Q's element at that index. Example, P = [1, 12, 4, 7, 8] is lexicographically smaller than Q = [1, 12, 8, 4, 7].

For example, if ARR = [70, 60, 90, 21, 11] and K = 3, then-

Swap 1: We swap adjacent elements 90 and 21. So, ARR after one swap is [70, 60, 21, 90, 11].
Swap 2: We swap adjacent elements 60 and 21. So, ARR after one swap is [70, 21, 60, 90, 11].
Swap 3: We swap adjacent elements 70 and 21. So, ARR after one swap is [21, 70, 60, 90, 11].
The lexicographically smallest ARR after K = 3 swaps is [21, 70, 60, 90, 11].

1. Design a hashset

Asked in companies
Goldman SachsExpedia GroupMorgan Stanley

Design a HashSet without using any built-in hash table libraries.

Implement the following public functions :

1) Constructor: It initializes the data members as required.

2) add(value): It inserts an element into the HashSet. The function takes one argument which is the value that needs to be added and returns nothing

3) contains(value): It checks whether the element exists in the HashSet or not. The function takes one argument which is the value that needs to be searched for in the HashSet. The function returns true if the element exists, otherwise returns false.

4) remove(value): It removes an element from the HashSet. The function takes one argument which is the value that needs to be removed from the HashSet and returns the element which is being removed. If the element does not exist in the HashSet or if HashSet is empty, return -1.
Operations Performed on the HashSet:
Query-1 (Denoted by an integer 1)- Inserts an element in the HashSet

Query-2 (Denoted by an integer 2)- Returns a boolean value denoting whether the element is present in the HashSet or not.

Query-3 (Denoted by an integer 3)- Removes the element from the HashSet.
