You are given the arrival and departure times of N trains at a railway station in a day. You need to find the minimum of platforms required for the railway station such that no train waits i.e No train should wait for the platform to be clear or free.

Problem approach

I took one map where the key will be the time and value will be either"Arrival" or "Departure". Store all the values given in 2 arrays in this map. now sort this map according to the key. after sorting the map, iterate through every key and check if the value is arrival -> sum+1 and if the value is "departure" -> sum-1. Return the value of the sum

For a given array with N elements, you need to find the length of the longest subsequence from the array such that all the elements of the subsequence are sorted in strictly increasing order.

Strictly Increasing Sequence is when each term in the sequence is larger than the preceding term.

For example:
[1, 2, 3, 4] is a strictly increasing array, while [2, 1, 4, 3] is not.
Problem approach

I firstly took one array ans[] and initialized it with 1. now take two pointers i and j, where i will start from 0 and j will start from 1. now take a while loop with condition -> (i arr[i] then 

ans[j] = max(ans[j], ans[i]+1

return max value-form the ans array

Problem approach

Tip 1: List down all the requirements. Work with the interviewer to check what all should be covered. For example in this 
case should we consider any coupons for booking shows?
Tip 2: Try to estimate the number of queries or hits you will get. This will help you to scale your system better
Tip 3: Design a single server with DBMS, API, and business logic and then scale it for the no. of queries estimated in 
Tip-2. Learn about CAP theorem

Here's your problem of the day
