Regular expression basics

Below are some representations for Regex 

  • Single occurrence of Any character in a string can be replaced by     .
  • Zero or more occurrences of any character                                         *
  • To represent whitespaces                                                                     \s
  • One of the character inside square bracket (eg. any char a, b or c)     [abc] 

  • Exclusion of characters -except anyone inside square bracket in single position
            (eg. non of the char a, b or c)                                                              [^abc]                                                                                                            
  • One of the character falling in the range given in square brackets                                                                 (eg. a to d -a, b, c or d)                                                                   [a-d]

Algorithm solving Common Patterns & Techniques

  These are targeted data manipulation strategies used to handle arrays, strings, and linked lists efficiently. Two Pointers : Uses two reference pointers to iterate through a data structure simultaneously, typically from opposite ends or at different speeds (Fast & Slow pointers). Sliding Window : Maintains a subset of data (a "window") over a sequential structure to track running statistics without recalculating the whole set. Prefix Sum : Pre-computes and stores cumulative sums of an array to allow for \(O(1)\) constant-time range sum queries. Dynamic Programming (DP ): Dynamic programming is an optimization technique used to solve problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems and storing the results of these subproblems to avoid redundant computations. It is particularly effective for problems exhibiting overlapping subproblems and optimal substructure. Greedy Algorithm Breadth-First Search (BFS) / Depth-First Search (DFS) : Systematic graph and tree travers...
