The gardener wants to water the garden by opening the minimum number of taps. The garden is one-dimensional along the x-axis of length N i.e. the garden starts from point 0 and ends at point N. There are N + 1 tap located at points [0, 1, 2, …, N] in the garden.

You are given an integer N, and an array named “ranges” of size N + 1(0-indexed). The ith tap, if opened, can water the gardener from point (i - ranges[i]) to (i + ranges[i]) including both. The task is to find the minimum number of taps that should be open to water the whole garden, return -1 if the garden can not be watered.

Can you solve the problem in O(N) time?

You are given an array/list ARR consisting of N integers. Your task is to find all the distinct triplets present in the array which adds up to a given number K.

An array is said to have a triplet {ARR[i], ARR[j], ARR[k]} with sum = 'K' if there exists three indices i, j and k such that i!=j, j!=k and i!=j and ARR[i] + ARR[j] + ARR[k] = 'K'.

Note:

1. You can return the list of values in any order. For example, if a valid triplet is {1, 2, -3}, then {2, -3, 1}, {-3, 2, 1} etc is also valid triplet. Also, the ordering of different triplets can be random i.e if there are more than one valid triplets, you can return them in any order.
2. The elements in the array need not be distinct.
3. If no such triplet is present in the array, then return an empty list, and the output printed for such a test case will be "-1".

What is a BST, what are other types of trees?
Theoretical questions based on the Graph data structure. 
Where graph traversals algorithms are used? Tell about different traversal algorithms and write the order of printing of nodes.

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.

You are given a binary search tree and an integer ‘S’. Your task is to find all the pairs of nodes in the BST which sum to the value ‘S’. If no such pair exists, then print -1 - 1.

Note:

You can use extra space of the order of not more than O(log n).

A binary search tree (BST) is a binary tree data structure which has the following properties.
• The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with data less than the node’s data.
• The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with data greater than the node’s data.
• Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.

Note:

1. All the elements of the Binary Search Tree are unique.
2. You can’t use the same node value/element of BST twice.
