Practice real questions, get instant feedback, and walk in ready to perform.
Q: Given array arr[], find the number of arr[i] > arr[j] > arr[k] where i < j < k.
A: This counts strictly decreasing triplets. For each middle index j, count elements greater than arr[j] on its left and elements smaller than arr[j] on its right, then multiply and sum across all j.
Q: Given n towers with varying heights, find the number of towers visible from each tower.
A: A tower is visible until a taller tower blocks the line of sight. Scan from each direction with a monotonic stack, popping shorter towers, so every tower is pushed and popped once.
Q: After doing k operations, find the maximum possible value of the smallest element.
A: Binary search on the candidate minimum value. For each guess, greedily check whether k operations can lift every element to at least that value; the feasibility check runs in O(n).
Q: Search an element in a sorted and rotated array.
A: Use a modified binary search. At each step one half is sorted, so compare the target against that half's endpoints to decide which side to keep, giving O(log n).
