You are given an M X N matrix of integers ARR. Your task is to find the maximum sum rectangle.

Maximum sum rectangle is a rectangle with the maximum value for the sum of integers present within its boundary, considering all the rectangles that can be formed from the elements of that matrix.

A rectangle is a 2-D polygon with opposite sides parallel and equal to each other.

For example:
Consider following matrix:

 1  2 -1 -4 -20
-8 -3  4  2   1
 3  8  10 1   3
-4 -1  1  7  -6

The rectangle (1,1) to (3,3) is the rectangle with the maximum sum, i.e. 29.

 1   2 -1 -4  -20
-8 |-3  4  2 |  1
 3 | 8  10 1 |  3
-4 |-1  1  7 | -6

You are given two Singly Linked Lists of integers, which may have an intersection point.

Your task is to return the first intersection node. If there is no intersection, return NULL.


Example:-
The Linked Lists, where a1, a2, c1, c2, c3 is the first linked list and b1, b2, b3, c1, c2, c3 is the second linked list, merging at node c1.

Coding problem1

Interviewer asked me to write code of Pattern that shared by interviewer on screen.
I solved that pattern then asked question from Tree, HashMap and then switch of CAP theorem of DBMS .
After these discussion, they started question from Dijkestra algo and asked to write code of Dijkestra then switch to OS Scheduling Algorithm Questions.
I was able to answer all above questions.

Pattern for N = 4


Hint
As taught in the video, you just have to modify the code so that instead of printing numbers, it should output stars ('*').

The dots represent spaces.
