Maximize the Number of Equivalent Pairs After Swaps - Google Top Interview Questions
Problem Statement :
You are given a list of integers of the same length A and B. You are also given a two-dimensional list of integers C where each element is of the form [i, j] which means that you can swap A[i] and A[j] as many times as you want. Return the maximum number of pairs where A[i] = B[i] after the swapping. Constraints n ≤ 100,000 where n is the length of A and B m ≤ 100,000 where m is the length of C Example 1 Input A = [1, 2, 3, 4] B = [2, 1, 4, 3] C = [ [0, 1], [2, 3] ] Output 4 Explanation We can swap A[0] with A[1] then A[2] with A[3].

Fibonacci Numbers Tree
Shashank loves trees and math. He has a rooted tree, T , consisting of N nodes uniquely labeled with integers in the inclusive range [1 , N ]. The node labeled as 1 is the root node of tree , and each node in is associated with some positive integer value (all values are initially ). Let's define Fk as the Kth Fibonacci number. Shashank wants to perform 22 types of operations over his tree, T

Given an array, we define its value to be the value obtained by following these instructions: Write down all pairs of numbers from this array. Compute the product of each pair. Find the sum of all the products. For example, for a given array, for a given array [7,2 ,-1 ,2 ] Note that ( 7 , 2 ) is listed twice, one for each occurrence of 2.
