✅ DSA Part 4 – Strings: Patterns, Hashing & Two Pointers 🔤🧩⚡

Strings are everywhere—from passwords to DNA sequences. Mastering string manipulation unlocks powerful algorithms in pattern matching, text processing, and optimization.

1️⃣ What is a String?
A string is a sequence of characters. In most languages, strings are immutable and indexed like arrays.

Python Example:

s = "hello"
print(s[1])  # Output: 'e'

C++ Example:

string s = "hello";
cout << s[1];  // Output: 'e'

Java Example:

String s = "hello";
System.out.println(s.charAt(1));  // Output: 'e'

2️⃣ Common String Operations:
• Concatenation
• Substring
• Comparison
• Reversal
• Search
• Replace

Python – Reversal:

s = "hello"
print(s[::-1])  # Output: 'olleh'

C++ – Substring:

string s = "hello";
cout << s.substr(1, 3);  // Output: 'ell'

Java – Replace:

String s = "hello";
System.out.println(s.replace("l", "x"));  // Output: 'hexxo'

3️⃣ Pattern Matching – Naive vs Efficient
Naive Approach: Check every substring
Efficient: Use hashing or KMP (Knuth-Morris-Pratt)

Python – Naive Pattern Search:

def search(text, pattern):
    for i in range(len(text) - len(pattern) + 1):
        if text[i:i+len(pattern)] == pattern:
            print(f"Found at index {i}")

search("abracadabra", "abra")  # Output: Found at index 0, 7

4️⃣ Hashing for Fast Lookup
Use hash maps to store character counts, frequencies, or indices.

Python – First Unique Character:

from collections import Counter

def first_unique_char(s):
    count = Counter(s)
    for i, ch in enumerate(s):
        if count[ch] == 1:
            return i
    return -1

print(first_unique_char("leetcode"))  # Output: 0

5️⃣ Two Pointers Technique
Used for problems like palindromes, anagrams, or substring windows.

Python – Valid Palindrome:

def is_palindrome(s):
    s = ''.join(filter(str.isalnum, s)).lower()
    left, right = 0, len(s) - 1
    while left < right:
        if s[left] != s[right]:
            return False
        left += 1
        right -= 1
    return True

print(is_palindrome("A man, a plan, a canal: Panama"))  # Output: True

6️⃣ Practice Tasks:
✅ Implement pattern search (naive)
✅ Find first non-repeating character
✅ Check if a string is a palindrome
✅ Use two pointers to reverse vowels in a string
✅ Try Rabin-Karp or KMP for pattern matching

✅ DSA Part 5 – Linked Lists: Single, Double & Reverse 🔁🔗📚

Linked Lists are dynamic data structures ideal for scenarios requiring frequent insertions and deletions. Unlike arrays, they don’t need contiguous memory and offer flexible memory usage.

1️⃣ What is a Linked List?
A Linked List is a linear data structure where each element (node) contains:
- Data
- Pointer to the next node (and optionally the previous node)

Types:
- Singly Linked List: Each node points to the next
- Doubly Linked List: Nodes point to both next and previous
- Circular Linked List: Last node points back to the head

2️⃣ Singly Linked List – Basic Structure

Python

class Node:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data
        self.next = None

Java

class Node {
    int data;
    Node next;
    Node(int data) {
        this.data = data;
        this.next = null;
    }
}

C++

struct Node {
    int data;
    Node* next;
    Node(int data): data(data), next(nullptr) {}
};

3️⃣ Insert at Head (Singly)

Python

def insert_head(head, data):
    new_node = Node(data)
    new_node.next = head
    return new_node

Java

Node insertHead(Node head, int data) {
    Node newNode = new Node(data);
    newNode.next = head;
    return newNode;
}

C++

Node* insertHead(Node* head, int data) {
    Node* newNode = new Node(data);
    newNode->next = head;
    return newNode;
}

4️⃣ Doubly Linked List – Bi-directional Pointers

Python

class DNode:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data
        self.prev = None
        self.next = None

Java

class DNode {
    int data;
    DNode prev, next;
    DNode(int data) {
        this.data = data;
    }
}

C++

struct DNode {
    int data;
    DNode* prev;
    DNode* next;
    DNode(int data): data(data), prev(nullptr), next(nullptr) {}
};

5️⃣ Insert at Head (Doubly)

Python

def insert_head(head, data):
    new_node = DNode(data)
    new_node.next = head
    if head:
        head.prev = new_node
    return new_node

Java

DNode insertHead(DNode head, int data) {
    DNode newNode = new DNode(data);
    newNode.next = head;
    if (head != null) head.prev = newNode;
    return newNode;
}

C++

DNode* insertHead(DNode* head, int data) {
    DNode* newNode = new DNode(data);
    newNode->next = head;
    if (head) head->prev = newNode;
    return newNode;
}

6️⃣ Reversing a Singly Linked List

Python

def reverse_list(head):
    prev = None
    current = head
    while current:
        next_node = current.next
        current.next = prev
        prev = current
        current = next_node
    return prev

Java

Node reverseList(Node head) {
    Node prev = null, current = head;
    while (current != null) {
        Node next = current.next;
        current.next = prev;
        prev = current;
        current = next;
    }
    return prev;
}

C++

Node* reverseList(Node* head) {
    Node* prev = nullptr;
    Node* current = head;
    while (current) {
        Node* next = current->next;
        current->next = prev;
        prev = current;
        current = next;
    }
    return prev;
}

7️⃣ Why Use Linked Lists?
✅ Dynamic memory allocation
✅ Efficient insert/delete (O(1) at head/tail)
❌ Slower access (O(n) for random access)
✅ Great for implementing stacks, queues, hash maps, etc.

8️⃣ Practice Tasks
✅ Implement singly linked list with insert/delete
✅ Implement doubly linked list with insert at tail
✅ Reverse a singly linked list

Coding interview questions with concise answers for software roles:

1️⃣ What happens when you type a URL and hit Enter?
Answer:
- DNS Lookup → IP address
- Browser sends HTTP/HTTPS request
- Server responds with HTML/CSS/JS
- Browser builds DOM, applies styles (CSSOM), runs JS
- Page is rendered

2️⃣ Difference between var, let, and const?
Answer:
- var: function-scoped, hoisted
- let: block-scoped, not hoisted
- const: block-scoped, can’t be reassigned

3️⃣ Reverse a String in JavaScript

function reverseString(str) {
  return str.split('').reverse().join('');
}

4️⃣ Find the max number in an array

const max = Math.max(...arr);

5️⃣ Write a function to check if a number is prime

function isPrime(n) {
  if (n < 2) return false;
  for (let i = 2; i <= Math.sqrt(n); i++) {
    if (n % i === 0) return false;
  }
  return true;
}

6️⃣ What is closure in JavaScript?
Answer:
A function that remembers variables from its outer scope even after the outer function has returned.

7️⃣ What is event delegation?
Answer:
Attaching a single event listener to a parent element to manage events on its children using event.target.

8️⃣ Difference between == and ===
Answer:
- == checks value (with type coercion)
- === checks value + type (strict comparison)

9️⃣ What is the Virtual DOM?
Answer:
A lightweight copy of the real DOM used in React. React updates the virtual DOM first and then applies only the changes to the real DOM for efficiency.

🔟 Write code to remove duplicates from an array

const uniqueArr = [...new Set(arr)];

✅ 10 Key Programming Differences! 💻🚀

1️⃣ Python 2 vs Python 3
➡️ Python 2: Legacy, no updates
➡️ Python 3: Modern, better syntax support
📌 Always use Python 3 for new projects.

2️⃣ Static vs Dynamic Typing
➡️ Static: Type declared (e.g., Java, C++)
➡️ Dynamic: Type inferred at runtime (e.g., Python, JavaScript)
📌 Static = fewer bugs, Dynamic = faster dev

3️⃣ Abstraction vs Encapsulation
➡️ Abstraction: Hides complexity
➡️ Encapsulation: Hides data
📌 Abstraction = "What", Encapsulation = "How"

4️⃣ REST vs SOAP (APIs)
➡️ REST: Lightweight, uses HTTP
➡️ SOAP: Protocol, strict rules
📌 REST is more common today

5️⃣ SQL vs NoSQL
➡️ SQL: Structured data, tables (e.g., MySQL)
➡️ NoSQL: Unstructured, scalable (e.g., MongoDB)
📌 SQL = Relational, NoSQL = Flexible

6️⃣ For Loop vs While Loop
➡️ For: Known iterations
➡️ While: Unknown, condition-based
📌 Use for when count is known.

7️⃣ Function vs Method
➡️ Function: Independent block
➡️ Method: Function inside class
📌 All methods are functions, not vice versa

8️⃣ Frontend vs Backend
➡️ Frontend: User interface (HTML, CSS, JS)
➡️ Backend: Server logic, DB (Node.js, Python, etc.)
📌 Frontend = what users see

9️⃣ Procedural vs OOP
➡️ Procedural: Functions logic
➡️ OOP: Objects, classes
📌 OOP = more modular reusable

🔟 Null vs Undefined (JavaScript)
➡️ Null: Assigned empty value
➡️ Undefined: Variable declared, not assigned
📌 typeof null is 'object', quirky but true!
