UnacademyAmerican ExpressGoldman Sachs

You are given a sorted integer array 'arr' of size 'n'.


You need to remove the duplicates from the array such that each element appears only once.


Return the length of this new array.


Note:
Do not allocate extra space for another array. You need to do this by modifying the given input array in place with O(1) extra memory. 


For example:
'n' = 5, 'arr' = [1 2 2 2 3].
The new array will be [1 2 3].
So our answer is 3.
Problem approach

Given an array of numbers sorted in ascending order, remove the duplicates such that each unique element appears only once. Entire relative order of the elements should be kept the same.

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.

1. First Missing Positive

Asked in companies
DunzoHikeSamsung

You are given an array 'ARR' of integers of length N. Your task is to find the first missing positive integer in linear time and constant space. In other words, find the lowest positive integer that does not exist in the array. The array can have negative numbers as well.

For example, the input [3, 4, -1, 1] should give output 2 because it is the smallest positive number that is missing in the input array.
