Kth User to Visit Website- Google Top Interview Questions
Problem Statement :
You are given a two-dimensional list of integers requests and an integer k.
Each element requests[i] contains [start, end] representing an inclusive interval for the possible times when user i visited the website.
Each user visits the site exactly once.
Return the users who may have been the kth (0-indexed) user to visit the site, sorted in ascending order. You can assume that the site can serve an unlimited number of users at any time.
Constraints
1 ≤ n ≤ 100,000 where n is the length of requests
0 ≤ k < n
Example 1
Input
requests = [
[3, 4],
[1, 3],
[4, 4]
]
k = 1
Output
[0, 1, 2]
Explanation
If users visited the site at timestamps [3, 3, 4], then user 0 and 1 may have been the kth user. If they
visited the site at [4, 3, 4], then user 0 and 2 may have been the kth user.
Example 2
Input
requests = [
[0, 0],
[0, 0],
[1, 1],
[2, 2],
[2, 2]
]
k = 3
Output
[3, 4]
Explanation
The only possible timestamps are [0, 0, 1, 2, 2]. Only the last two users could've been the 3rd user to
visit the site.
Example 3
Input
requests = [
[60, 70],
[0, 10],
[11, 30],
[22, 40]
]
k = 1
Output
[2, 3]
Explanation
If users visited the site at these timestamps [60, 5, 21, 22], then user 2 would've been the kth user. If they visited the site at [60, 5, 23, 22], then 3 would've been the kth user.

int count = 0;
for (int[] r : reqs) {

}
return count >= K;
}
}
Solution in Python :
class Solution:
def solve(self, requests, k):
# calculate the earliest and latest visit times for user k.
# return all requests that overlap with this interval.
ks = sorted(s for s, e in requests)[k]
ke = sorted(e for s, e in requests)[k]
return [i for i, (s, e) in enumerate(requests) if not (ke < s or e < ks)]

Reverse a linked list
Given the pointer to the head node of a linked list, change the next pointers of the nodes so that their order is reversed. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is empty. Example: head references the list 1->2->3->Null. Manipulate the next pointers of each node in place and return head, now referencing the head of the list 3->2->1->Null. Function Descriptio

You’re given the pointer to the head nodes of two linked lists. Compare the data in the nodes of the linked lists to check if they are equal. If all data attributes are equal and the lists are the same length, return 1. Otherwise, return 0. Example: list1=1->2->3->Null list2=1->2->3->4->Null The two lists have equal data attributes for the first 3 nodes. list2 is longer, though, so the lis
