βœ… Coding Interview Questions with Answers [Part-1] πŸ’»πŸš€

1. What is the time and space complexity of your code?
Time complexity measures how the runtime grows with input size. Space complexity measures memory used. Always analyze both to optimize your solution.

2. What is the difference between an array and a linked list?
Arrays store elements contiguously with fast access by index. Linked lists store elements as nodes connected by pointers, allowing easy insertion/deletion but slower access.

3. How does a HashMap work internally?
It uses a hash function to convert keys into indexes in an array. Collisions are handled by chaining (linked lists) or open addressing.

4. What is recursion? Give an example.
Recursion is a function calling itself to solve smaller subproblems.
Example: Factorial(n) = n Γ— Factorial(n-1), with base case Factorial(0) = 1.

5. Explain stack vs. queue.
Stack: Last In First Out (LIFO), like a stack of plates.
Queue: First In First Out (FIFO), like a line at a store.

6. What is a binary search and when to use it?
Binary search efficiently finds an item in a sorted array by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half. Use on sorted data for O(log n) time.

7. What is the difference between BFS and DFS?
BFS (Breadth-First Search) explores nodes level by level using a queue.
DFS (Depth-First Search) explores as far as possible along a branch using a stack or recursion.

8. What is dynamic programming?
A method to solve problems by breaking them into overlapping subproblems and storing solutions to avoid repeated work.

9. Solve Fibonacci using memoization.
Memoization stores already calculated Fibonacci numbers in a cache to reduce repeated calculations and improve performance from exponential to linear time.

10. Explain two-pointer technique with an example.
Use two pointers to traverse data structures simultaneously.
Example: Find if a sorted array has two numbers summing to a target by moving pointers from start and end inward.

11. What is a sliding window algorithm?
A technique for solving problems involving arrays or strings by maintaining a window that slides over data. It helps reduce time complexity by avoiding nested loops.
Example: Finding the max sum of subarrays of size k.

12. Detect cycle in a linked list.
Use Floyd's Cycle Detection Algorithm (Tortoise and Hare).
⦁ Move two pointers at different speeds.
⦁ If they meet, a cycle exists.
⦁ To find the cycle start, reset one pointer to head and move both one step until they meet again.

13. Find the intersection of two arrays.
Use a HashSet to store elements of the first array, then check each element in the second array.
⦁ Time: O(n + m)
⦁ Space: O(min(n, m))

14. Reverse a string or linked list.
⦁ For a string: Use two-pointer swap or Python's slicing.
⦁ For a linked list: Use three pointers (prev, curr, next) and iterate while reversing links.

15. Check if a string is a palindrome.
Use two pointers from start and end, compare characters.
Return false if mismatch, true if all characters match.

16. What are the different sorting algorithms?
⦁ Bubble Sort
⦁ Selection Sort
⦁ Insertion Sort
⦁ Merge Sort
⦁ Quick Sort
⦁ Heap Sort
⦁ Radix Sort
Each has different time and space complexities.

17. Explain quicksort vs. mergesort.
⦁ Quicksort: Divide and conquer, picks a pivot.
⦁ Average: O(n log n), Worst: O(n²), Space: O(log n)
⦁ Mergesort: Always divides array into halves, then merges.
⦁ Time: O(n log n), Space: O(n), Stable sort

18. What is a binary search tree (BST)?
A tree where left child < node < right child.
⦁ Efficient for searching, insertion, deletion: O(log n) if balanced.
⦁ Unbalanced BST can degrade to O(n)

19. Inorder, Preorder, Postorder traversals.
⦁ Inorder (LNR): Sorted order in BST
⦁ Preorder (NLR): Used to copy or serialize tree
⦁ Postorder (LRN): Used to delete tree

20. Implement LRU Cache.
Use a combination of HashMap + Doubly Linked List.
⦁ HashMap stores key-node pairs.
⦁ Linked list maintains access order.
⦁ When cache is full, remove the least recently used node.
Operations (get, put): O(1) time.

21. Find the longest substring without repeating characters 
Use a sliding window with a set to track characters. 
def length_of_longest_substring(s):
    seen = set()
    left = max_len = 0
    for right in range(len(s)):
        while s[right] in seen:
            seen.remove(s[left])
            left += 1
        seen.add(s[right])
        max_len = max(max_len, right - left + 1)
    return max_len

22. Explain backtracking with N-Queens problem 
Backtracking tries placing a queen in each column, then recursively places the next queen if safe. If no safe position is found, it backtracks. 
def solve_n_queens(n):
    result = []
    board = [-1]Γ—n

    def is_safe(row, col):
        for r in range(row):
            if board[r] == col or abs(board[r] - col) == abs(r - row):
                return False
        return True

    def backtrack(row=0):
        if row == n:
            result.append(board[:])
            return
        for col in range(n):
            if is_safe(row, col):
                board[row] = col
                backtrack(row + 1)
                board[row] = -1

    backtrack()
    return result

23. What is a trie? Where is it used?
A Trie is a tree-like data structure used for efficient retrieval of strings, especially for autocomplete or prefix matching. 
Used in: 
- Dictionary lookups 
- Search engines 
- IP routing

24. Explain bit manipulation tricks 
- Check if number is power of 2: n & (n - 1) == 0 
- Count set bits: bin(n).count('1') 
- Swap without temp: x = x ^ y; y = x ^ y; x = x ^ y

25. Kadane’s Algorithm for maximum subarray sum 
def max_subarray(nums):
    max_sum = current = nums[0]
    for num in nums[1:]:
        current = max(num, current + num)
        max_sum = max(max_sum, current)
    return max_sum

26. What are heaps and how do they work? 
Heap is a binary tree where parent is always smaller (min-heap) or larger (max-heap) than children. Supports O(log n) insert and delete. 
Use Python’s heapq for min-heaps.

27. Find kth largest element in an array 
import heapq
def find_kth_largest(nums, k):
    return heapq.nlargest(k, nums)[-1]

28. How to detect cycle in a graph? 
Use DFS with visited and recursion stack. 
def has_cycle(graph):
    visited = set()
    rec_stack = set()

    def dfs(v):
        visited.add(v)
        rec_stack.add(v)
        for neighbor in graph[v]:
              if neighbor not in visited and dfs(neighbor):
                return True
            elif neighbor in rec_stack:
                return True
        rec_stack.remove(v)
        return False

    for node in graph:
        if node not in visited and dfs(node):
            return True
    return False


29. Topological sort of a DAG 
Used to sort tasks with dependencies. 

def topological_sort(graph):
    visited, result = set(), []

    def dfs(node):
        if node in visited:
            return
        visited.add(node)
        for neighbor in graph.get(node, []):
            dfs(neighbor)
        result.append(node)

    for node in graph:
        dfs(node)
    return result[::-1]


30. Implement a stack using queues 

from collections import deque

class Stack:
    def init(self):
        self.q = deque()

    def push(self, x):
        self.q.append(x)
        for _ in range(len(self.q) - 1):
            self.q.append(self.q.popleft())

    def pop(self):
        return self.q.popleft()

    def top(self):
        return self.q[0]

    def empty(self):
        return not self.q

βœ… JavaScript Essentials – Interview Questions with Answers πŸ§ πŸ’»

1️⃣ Q: What is the difference between let, const, and var?
A:
⦁ var: Function-scoped, hoisted, can be redeclared.
⦁ let: Block-scoped, not hoisted like var, can't be redeclared in same scope.
⦁ const: Block-scoped, must be assigned at declaration, cannot be reassigned.

2️⃣ Q: What are JavaScript data types?
A:
⦁ Primitive types: string, number, boolean, null, undefined, symbol, bigint
⦁ Non-primitive: object, array, function
Type coercion: JS automatically converts between types in operations ('5' + 2 β†’ '52')

3️⃣ Q: How does DOM Manipulation work in JS?
A:
The DOM (Document Object Model) represents the HTML structure. JS can access and change elements using:
⦁ document.getElementById()
⦁ document.querySelector()
⦁ element.innerHTML (sets HTML content), element.textContent (sets text only), element.style (applies CSS)
Example: document.querySelector('p').textContent = 'Updated text!';

4️⃣ Q: What is event handling in JavaScript?
A:
It allows reacting to user actions like clicks or key presses.
Example:
document.getElementById("btn").addEventListener("click", () => {
alert("Button clicked!");
});


5️⃣ Q: What are arrow functions?
A:
A shorter syntax for functions introduced in ES6.
const add = (a, b) => a + b;
