Odd Even Linked List

Data Structures & AlgorithmsMedium

Given the head of a singly linked list, group all the nodes with odd indices together followed by the nodes with even indices, and return the reordered list. The first node is considered odd, and the second node is even, and so on. Note that the relative order inside both the even and odd groups should remain as it was in the input. You must solve the problem in O(1) extra space complexity and O(n) time complexity. For example: Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5] Output: [1,3,5,2,4] Input: head = [2,1,3,5,6,4,7] Output: [2,3,6,7,1,5,4]

Walk through a resume project, learning new tech, and maximum subarray problem with specific constraints. Optimize it further if possible too.

Behavioral

Let's explore your resume and then dive into a coding question. First, regarding your resume: Could you walk me through a project that you are particularly proud of? Describe your role, the challenges you faced, and the solutions you implemented. Be specific about the technologies you used and the impact your contributions had on the project's outcome. Tell me about a time you had to work with a technology or framework that you were unfamiliar with. How did you approach learning it, and how did you apply it to the project at hand? What resources did you find most helpful, and what challenges did you encounter during the learning process? Describe a situation where you had to make a trade-off between different approaches or technologies. What factors did you consider when making your decision, and how did you evaluate the potential consequences of each option? Can you provide a specific example of such a trade-off? Now, for the coding question: Given a list of integers, write a function to find the contiguous sub-array with the largest sum. For example, if the input is [-2, 1, -3, 4, -1, 2, 1, -5, 4], the output should be [4, -1, 2, 1], with a sum of 6. Explain your approach, and provide a working implementation of the function in your preferred programming language. Consider edge cases such as an empty input list or a list with only negative numbers. What is the time complexity of your solution? Can you optimize it further?
