ARRAY NOTES (BEGINNER TO MEDIUM)

1. Approach:

Understand problem, check constraints, identify pattern, optimize.

2. Basics:

Array is fixed size, O(1) access.

3. Traversal:

Use loops to iterate forward/backward.

4. Searching:

Linear O(n), Binary O(log n) for sorted arrays.

5. Two Pointer:

Used for sorted arrays, pairs, in-place operations.

6. Sliding Window:

Used for subarrays (fixed/variable size).

7. Prefix Sum:

Used for range queries and subarray sum problems.

8. Kadane:

Find maximum subarray sum efficiently.

9. Hashing:

Used for frequency counting.

10. Moore Voting:

Find majority element in O(1) space.

11. Sorting:

Helps in grouping and two-pointer usage.

12. Bit Manipulation:

Used for unique elements.


13. Rotation:

Use reverse technique.

14. Subarray Patterns:

Sliding window or prefix sum.

15. Edge Cases:

Empty, single, negatives, overflow.

16. Interview Tips:

Explain logic, analyze complexity, dry run.

Master patterns → Solve most problems.
