AdobeThought WorksHSBC

You are given two strings 'str1' and 'str1'.


You have to tell whether these strings form an anagram pair or not.


The strings form an anagram pair if the letters of one string can be rearranged to form another string.

Pre-requisites:

Anagrams are defined as words or names that can be formed by rearranging the letters of another word. Such as "spar" can be formed by rearranging letters of "rasp". Hence, "spar" and "rasp" are anagrams. 

Other examples include:

'triangle' and 'integral'
'listen' and 'silent'
Note:
Since it is a binary problem, there is no partial marking. Marks will only be awarded if you get all the test cases correct.

You are given a string consisting only of parentheses and letters. Your task is to remove the minimum number of invalid parentheses and return all possible unique, valid strings thus obtained.

Note:

1) A string is valid only if every left parenthesis has corresponding right parentheses in the same order.

For example Given ‘STR’ = (())()) is not a valid string, whereas ‘STR’ = (())() is a valid string.

CultfitPayPalWalmart

Given an array of numbers, find the maximum sum of any contiguous subarray of the array.


For example, given the array [34, -50, 42, 14, -5, 86], the maximum sum would be 137, since we would take elements 42, 14, -5, and 86.


Given the array [-5, -1, -8, -9], the maximum sum would be -1.


Follow up: Do this in O(N) time.

Problem approach

Write an efficient program to find the sum of contiguous subarray within a one-dimensional array of numbers which has the largest sum.
