Finding the Peak Element from an Array

Finding The Peak Problem

The peak element is an element that is greater than it's neighbors. In this problem, we have given an integer array and our task is to find the peak element from it. If the array contains more than one peak it will return only one.

For example: arr = [3,5,4,8] here 5 is the peak element (5 is greater than 3 and 4).

This problem can be solved using Binary Search Algorithm in O(logN) time where N is a length of an array or the number of elements in the array.

Four Sum Problem (4sum) Solution in Java, Python, C++

-
Given an array and K, your task is to find four elements in an array such that their sum is equal to K. You have to print all four elements in lexicographical order and make sure that no pair get repeated. (Level: Hard) For Example:  N = 9 and array = [3, 6, 8, 2, 3, 9, 5, 1, 7] and K = 18 so, one pair is 1+3+5+9 = 18 you have to find all pairs A SOLUTION IN C++: You can optimize it further!

Find the length of the longest substring without repeating character

-
Given a string, our task is to find the length of the longest substring without repeating any character. For example, the longest substring for "ABACDBFB" this string is "ACDBF" length of this string is 5. This problem can be solved with O(N) time complexity where N is the length of the string.

Reverse Words in a Sentence Without using any Library

-
Given a sentence or a string, our task is to reverse an order of words and print them. For example: Input: "python is love" Output: "love is python" The idea is to solve this problem is using split() and join() methods. First, split the sentence into words than change the order of words, then join then as one sentence.
