Describe the difference between a stack and a queue. Provide an example of when you might use each data structure. Write functions to implement the push and pop methods for a stack and the enqueue and dequeue methods for a queue. Explain the time complexity of each of these operations. Additionally, discuss a scenario where you might need to implement a stack using a queue or a queue using a stack.

Let's delve into the realm of networking. Imagine you are tasked with designing a network for a growing company with three distinct departments: Engineering, Marketing, and Sales. Each department has unique needs and security requirements. The Engineering department requires high bandwidth for data transfer and code compilation, the Marketing department needs access to various social media platforms and marketing tools, and the Sales department needs secure access to customer data and CRM systems. Furthermore, the company wants to implement a guest network for visitors. The network should be designed with scalability, security, and performance in mind. Considering these requirements, address the following: Describe the network topology you would choose and why. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of your chosen topology in this scenario. Outline the IP addressing scheme you would implement. Include subnetting details and justification for your choices. Discuss the security measures you would implement to protect each department's data and ensure network security. Elaborate on firewall rules, access control lists (ACLs), and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS). Explain how you would segment the network to isolate the guest network from the internal network. What specific technologies or configurations would you use to achieve this? Describe how you would ensure high availability and redundancy in the network design. What measures would you take to prevent single points of failure? Outline the routing protocols you would use and why. How would you configure them to optimize network performance and ensure efficient data delivery? Discuss how you would monitor and manage the network to ensure optimal performance and security. What tools and techniques would you employ for network monitoring and troubleshooting?

Let's say you are managing a team of five engineers working on a critical feature for an upcoming product launch. One of your engineers, Sarah, consistently delivers high-quality work but has been missing deadlines lately. During a one-on-one meeting, Sarah confides in you that she is feeling overwhelmed with her workload due to personal issues outside of work. Additionally, another engineer, David, has been expressing frustration about the lack of clear direction and feeling that his skills are not being fully utilized. Furthermore, the team is starting to experience conflicts regarding code ownership and integration, leading to delays and tension. As the engineering manager, how would you address these issues to ensure the successful delivery of the feature while maintaining a positive and productive team environment? Please provide specific steps and strategies you would implement to handle each situation, including Sarah's performance, David's concerns, and the team's conflict.
