This problem asks us to develop an algorithm that can determine whether or not a given string has all unique characters. For example, the input string "abcdefg" would return True, while the input string "aabbcc" would return False.
About this solution: The candidate's solution is correct and uses an efficient approach. The time complexity of the solution is O(n) and the space complexity is O(n).
The "Array Sum" code problem asks the programmer to return the sum of the elements in an array of integers. An example input would be [1, 2, 3, 4], and the corresponding output would be 10.
About this solution: This is a great solution! The candidate has clearly thought through the problem and has provided a very efficient solution.
Given a string, this function finds the first non-repeating character in it.
About this solution: The candidate's solution correctly finds the first non-repeating character in a string. The solution uses a hash map to keep track of the number of times each character appears in the string, then loops through the string again to find the first character with a count of 1.
One potential improvement to this solution would be to use a LinkedHashMap instead of a regular hash map, so that the order in which the characters are added to the map is preserved. This would allow the solution to find the first non-repeating character in the string in a single loop, without having to loop through the string twice.
Given an array of positive integers and a positive integer s, this function returns the minimal length of a contiguous subarray of which the sum is greater than or equal to s. If there isn 't one, it returns 0 instead.
About this solution: This is a great solution! The candidate has taken the time to include comments explaining what the code is doing, which is always appreciated. The code itself is clean and well-organized.
This problem deals with finding the first non-repeating character in a given string. For example, if the input string is "GeeksforGeeks", then the output should be ' f'.
About this solution: The candidate's solution correctly finds the first non-repeating character in a string. The solution uses a hash map to keep track of the number of times each character appears in the string, then loops through the string again to find the first character with a count of 1.
One potential improvement to this solution would be to use a LinkedHashMap instead of a regular hash map. This would allow the characters to be iterated over in the order in which they appear in the string, which would make the second loop unnecessary.
The problem is to find the sum of the elements in an array of integers. An example input would be [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], and the corresponding output would be 15.
About this solution: The candidate's solution does not demonstrate a level of completeness and does not solve the problem. The general approach is not clear.
Given an array of n integers, the maximum sum of any contiguous subarray of the array can be found by using the example input and output above.
About this solution: The candidate's solution correctly finds the maximum sum of any contiguous subarray of the array. The candidate's approach is to keep track of the current sum and update the maximum sum as needed. This is a good approach.
