1. Design a shopping app using any design pattern. Write classes , explain the design.

2..​Memory Management

Consider the code below:

class Student {

let name: String

init(name: String) { [Link] = name }

var university: University?

deinit { print("\(name) is being deinitialized") }


}

class University {

let uniName: String

init(uniName: String) { [Link] = uniName }

var student: Student?

deinit { print("University \(unit) is being deinitialized") }


}

Each of the classes has a reference to the other. Let’s initialise them.

var me: Student?


var uni: University?
me = Student(name: "John Doe")
uni = University(uniName: "IIT")

me?.university = uni
uni?.student = me

This creates a strong reference cycle between both the classes.​ ​How will you resolve the strong
reference cycle between both the classes?

3. In this challenge, read a text file and capture a timestamp from each line of text. Then ​create
a text file with a list of all timestamps that occur multiple times​, each on its own line.
Naming convention and a data description are as follows:

Naming convention:​ You will be provided with an input file name called ​filename​. ​Your
output filename should be req_​filename​ (replace ​filename​).

Data description:​ Each line of the .txt file contains a single log record for ​July 1995​ with the
following columns in order:
1. The ​hostname​ of the ​host​ making the request.
2. This column's values are missing and described by a hyphen (i.e., ​-​).
3. This column's values are missing and described by a hyphen (i.e., ​-​).
4. A timestamp enclosed in square brackets following the format
[DD/mmm/YYYY:HH:MM:SS -0400],​ where ​DD​ is the day of the month, ​mmm​ is the
name of the month, ​YYYY​ is the year, ​HH:MM:SS​ is the time in ​24​-hour format, and
-0400​ is the time zone.
5. The ​request,​ enclosed in quotes (e.g., ​"GET /images/[Link]
HTTP/1.0"​).
6. The ​HTTP response code​.
7. The total number of ​bytes​ sent in the response.

For example, given the following log record:


[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:12 -0400] "GET
/shuttle/countdown/video/[Link] HTTP/1.0" 200 0
We can label each column in the record like so:

Hostname - - Timestamp Request HTTP Byte


Response s
Code

[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:12 "GET 200 0


m -0400] /shuttle/countdown/video/livevideo.
gif HTTP/1.0"

Given a string, ​filename​, that denotes the name of a real text file, ​create an output file
named ​req_f​ ilename​ to store timestamp records. Each line of the output file must contain a
timestamp in the format ​DD/mmm/YYYY:HH:MM:SS​ for any timestamp that appears in more
than one request in ​filename​. The line order in the output file does not matter.

Constraints

● The log file contains no more than ​2 × 10​5​ records.

Sample Input
hosts_access_log_00.txt
Sample Output
Given ​filename = "hosts_access_log_00.txt",​ process the records in ​hosts_access_log_00.txt
and create an output file named ​req_hosts_access_log_00.txt​ containing the following rows:
01/Jul/1995:00:00:12
01/Jul/1995:00:00:14
01/Jul/1995:00:00:15

Explanation 0
The log file ​hosts_access_log_00.txt​ contains the following log records:
[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:06 -0400] "GET /shuttle/countdown/
HTTP/1.0" 200 3985
[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:11 -0400] "GET /shuttle/countdown/[Link]
HTTP/1.0" 304 0
[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:12 -0400] "GET /images/[Link]
HTTP/1.0" 304 0
[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:12 -0400] "GET
/shuttle/countdown/video/[Link] HTTP/1.0" 200 0
[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:13 -0400] "GET /shuttle/countdown/ HTTP/1.0" 200 3985
[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:14 -0400] "GET /shuttle/countdown/[Link]
HTTP/1.0" 200 40310
[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:14 -0400] "GET /images/[Link]
HTTP/1.0" 200 786
[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:14 -0400] "GET /images/[Link]
HTTP/1.0" 200 1204
[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:15 -0400] "GET /shuttle/countdown/[Link] HTTP/1.0"
200 40310
[Link] - - [01/Jul/1995:00:00:15 -0400] "GET /images/[Link] HTTP/1.0"
200 786
The data confirms the following:

1. The timestamp ​01/Jul/1995:00:00:12​ occurs ​two​ times.


2. The timestamp ​01/Jul/1995:00:00:14​ occurs ​three​ times.
3. The timestamp ​01/Jul/1995:00:00:15​ occurs ​two​ times.

Strip the brackets and time zones from the three timestamps occurring more than once and
append them to the output file.

4 .Contiguous subarrays are a group of an uninterrupted range of elements from an array as they
occur. No elements in the range can be skipped or reordered. Given an array of integers,
numbers and an integer k, determine the total number of subarrays of numbers having a
product that is less than or equal to k.
For example, contiguous subarrays of numbers = [3,4,5] are [[3], [4], [5], [3,4], [4,5], [3,4,5]].
The product of a subarray is the product of all of its elements so the products for the list of
subarrays are [3, 4, 5, 12, 20, 60]. If k = 5, there are 3 subarrays that satisfy the condition, [3],
[4] and [5].

Function Description

numbers = [1, 2, 3]. We have the following 6 subarrays:

[1] → 1.
[2] → 2.
[3] → 3.
[1, 2] → 1 × 2 = 2.
[2, 3] → 2 × 3 = 6.
[1, 2, 3] → 1 × 2 × 3 = 6.

The only subarrays having products less than or equal to k = 4 are [1], [2], [3], and [1, 2].

numbers = [1, 2, 3]. We have the following 6 subarrays:

[1] → 1.
[2] → 2.
[3] → 3.
[1, 2] → 1 × 2 = 2.
[2, 3] → 2 × 3 = 6.
[1, 2, 3] → 1 × 2 × 3 = 6.

All six of the above subarrays have products less than or equal to k = 7.
[Link] the function FoodDistribution(arr) read the array of numbers stored in arr which will
represent the hunger level of different people ranging from 0 to 5 (0 meaning not hungry at all, 5
meaning very hungry). You will also have N sandwiches to give out which will range from 1 to
20. The format of the array will be [N, h1, h2, h3, ...] where N represents the number of
sandwiches you have and the rest of the array will represent the hunger levels of different
people. Your goal is to minimize the hunger difference between each pair of people in the array
using the sandwiches you have available.

// For example: if arr is [5, 3, 1, 2, 1], this means you have 5 sandwiches to give out. You can
distribute them in the following order to the people: 2, 0, 1, 0. Giving these sandwiches to the
people their hunger levels now become: [1, 1, 1, 1]. The difference between each pair of people is
now 0, the total is also 0, so your program should return 0. Note: You may not have to give out
all, or even any, of your sandwiches to produce a minimized difference.

// Another example: if arr is [4, 5, 2, 3, 1, 0] then you can distribute the sandwiches in the
following order: [3, 0, 1, 0, 0] which makes all the hunger levels the following: [2, 2, 2, 1, 0]. The
differences between each pair of people is now: 0, 0, 1, 1 and so your program should return the
final minimized difference of 2.

[Link] the function PermutationStep(num) take the num parameter being passed and return the
next number greater than num using the same digits.
//For example: if num is 123 return 132, if it's 12453 return 12534.
//If a number has no greater permutations, return -1 (ie. 999).
// Sample Test Cases

// Input:11121

// Output:11211

// Input:41352

// Output:41523
3.​Have the function ​OverlappingRanges(​arr​)​ take the array of numbers stored in ​arr​ which will
contain 5 positive integers, the first two representing a range of numbers (a to b), the next 2 also
representing another range of integers (c to d), and a final 5th element (x) which will also be a
positive integer, and return the string ​true​ if both sets of ranges overlap by at least x numbers.
For example: if ​arr​ is [4, 10, 2, 6, 3] then your program should return the string ​true​. The first
range of numbers are 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and the second range of numbers are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The
last element in the array is 3, and there are 3 numbers that overlap between both ranges: 4, 5,
and 6. If both ranges do not overlap by at least x numbers, then your program should return the
string ​false​.

Common questions

To identify timestamps appearing multiple times in a log file, parse each line to extract the timestamp from the specified format [DD/mmm/YYYY:HH:MM:SS -0400]. Use a dictionary to count occurrences of each timestamp. Any timestamp with a count greater than one should be outputted without the brackets and time zone in a new file named req_filename .

Contiguous subarrays consist of elements that appear consecutively in the original array, whereas regular subarrays do not require consecutive elements. Contiguous subarrays maintain the order and sequences from the original array without skipping elements .

A strong reference cycle occurs when two objects hold strong references to each other, preventing deallocation. In the Student-University class structure, this cycle can be resolved by changing one of the references to a weak reference. For example, making the 'student' property in the University class a weak reference can break the cycle, allowing the objects to be deinitialized .

Start by identifying the rightmost digit that is smaller than a digit to its right. Then, find the smallest digit to the right of this position that is larger than this digit and swap them. Finally, reverse the order of all digits to the right of the original position to get the smallest possible next permutation .

To minimize hunger differences using sandwiches, distribute sandwiches to the most hungry individuals first, prioritized by the largest difference in hunger level between adjacent persons. The goal is to equalize hunger as much as possible while ensuring that no resource is wasted if the hunger difference can become zero earlier .

To design a shopping app using a design pattern, one could employ the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. This involves creating a Model to handle data and business logic, a View for the user interface, and a Controller to process input and update the Model and View. Key classes include Product, ShoppingCart, User, Order (Model), AppView (View), and UserController (Controller).

The problem requires identifying contiguous subarrays from an integer array such that their product is less than or equal to a given integer k, with specific constraints on the array size (n) and element range (1 to 102). Efficient computation is critical due to constraints on n (up to 5×10^5) and k (up to 10^6), making direct enumeration impractical .

Use a two-pointer technique to maintain a sliding window of subarrays. Start both pointers at the beginning of the array, extending the window with the right pointer until the product exceeds k. Then move the left pointer to reduce the product. Count subarrays for each extension of the window while maintaining the product within limits .

In structured text data, handle missing data by checking for hyphen occurrences, which indicate absence of data. Ensure that processing scripts recognize these placeholders as missing data, potentially replacing or ignoring them during processing to avoid misinterpretation of the dataset .

Create sets for both numeric ranges and calculate the intersection. Count the elements in the intersection. If the count is greater than or equal to the specified minimum overlap number x, the ranges are considered sufficiently overlapping .
