 Here is the entire list of all the questions that are (will be) implemented

General

  • Find the most frequent integer in an array
  • Find pairs in an integer array whose sum is equal to 10 (bonus: do it in linear time)
  • Given 2 integer arrays, determine of the 2nd array is a rotated version of the 1st array. Ex. Original Array A={1,2,3,5,6,7,8} Rotated Array B={5,6,7,8,1,2,3}
  • Write fibbonaci iteratively and recursively (bonus: use dynamic programming)
  • Find the only element in an array that only occurs once.
  • Find the common elements of 2 int arrays
  • Implement binary search of a sorted array of integers
  • Implement binary search in a rotated array (ex. {5,6,7,8,1,2,3})
  • Use dynamic programming to find the first X prime numbers
  • Write a function that prints out the binary form of an int
  • Implement parseInt
  • Implement squareroot function
  • Implement an exponent function (bonus: now try in log(n) time)
  • Given an array of unknown size, reverse the positive numbers (before a negative marker) in the array.
  • Write a multiply function that multiples 2 integers without using *
  • HARD: Given a function rand5() that returns a random int between 0 and 5, implement rand7()
  • HARD: Given a 2D array of 1s and 0s, count the number of "islands of 1s" (e.g. groups of connecting 1s)

Strings

Trees

  • Implement a BST with insert and delete functions
  • Print a tree using BFS and DFS
  • Write a function that determines if a tree is a BST
  • Find the smallest element in a BST
  • Find the 2nd largest number in a BST
  • Given a binary tree which is a sum tree (child nodes add to parent), write an algorithm to determine whether the tree is a valid sum tree
  • Find the distance between 2 nodes in a BST and a normal binary tree
  • Print the coordinates of every node in a binary tree, where root is 0,0
  • Print a tree by levels
  • Given a binary tree which is a sum tree, write an algorithm to determine whether the tree is a valid sum tree
  • Given a tree, verify that it contains a subtree.
  • HARD: Find the max distance between 2 nodes in a BST.
  • HARD: Construct a BST given the pre-order and in-order traversal Strings

Stacks, Queues, and Heaps

  • Implement a stack with push and pop functions
  • Implement a queue with queue and dequeue functions
  • Find the minimum element in a stack in O(1) time
  • Write a function that sorts a stack (bonus: sort the stack in place without extra memory)
  • Implement a binary min heap. Turn it into a binary max heap
  • HARD: Implement a queue using 2 stacks

Linked Lists

  • Implement a linked list (with insert and delete functions)
  • Find the Nth element in a linked list
  • Remove the Nth element of a linked list
  • Check if a linked list has cycles
  • Given a circular linked list, find the node at the beginning of the loop. Example: A-->B-->C --> D-->E -->C, C is the node that begins the loop
  • Check whether a link list is a palindrome
  • Reverse a linked list iteratively and recursively

Sorting

  • Implement bubble sort
  • Implement selection sort
  • Implement insertion sort
  • Implement merge sort
  • Implement quick sort
