Given an array of intervals representing N meetings, find out if a person can attend all the meetings. Input: [[6,7],[2,4],[8,12]] Output: true Explanation: None of the meetings overlap with each other. Input: [[1,4],[2,5],[7,9]] Output: false Explanation: Meetings [1,4] and [2,5] overlap with each other. This problem is commonly asked nowadays ...

Given an array, find the length of the longest subarray which has no repeating numbers. Input: A = {1,2,3,3,4,5} Output: 3 Explanation: Longest subarray without any repeating elements are {1,2,3} & {3,4,5}. Thought Process 1. Brute Force In this approach, you will consider each subarray and then check whether that ...

Given n non-negative integers representing an elevation map where the width of each bar is 1, compute how much water it is able to trap after rain. For example, Input: [0,1,0,2,1,0,1,3,2,1,2,1] Output: 6 Basic thought We know water stays at the highest level it is able to, and it always maintains the ...
