    "General Approach (using Max-Heap) Use a max-heap (priority queue) of size k. For each point: Compute the distance to P. Push it into the heap. If heap size > k, remove the farthest point. The heap will contain the k closest points to P. import java.util.*; public class KClosestPoints { static class Point { int x, y; public Point(int x, int y) { this.x = x; this.y = y; } // Euclidean distance squared (no need to take square root) p"

    Video answer for 'Product of Array Except Self'
    +58

    "If 0's aren't a concern, couldn't we just multiply all numbers. and then divide product by each number in the list ? if there's more than one zero, then we just return an array of 0s if there's one zero, then we just replace 0 with product and rest 0s. what am i missing?"

    "Is it bad to get the answer a different way? Will they mark that as not knowing Bayes Theorem or just correct as it is an easier way to get the answer? The way I went is to look at what happens when the factory makes 100 light bulbs. Machine A makes 60 of which 3 are faulty, Machine B makes 40 of which 1.2 are faulty. Therefore the pool of faulty lightbulbs is 3/4.2 = 5/7 from machine A and 1.2/4.2 = 3/7 from Machine B."

    "A few months ago I joined a micro-services platform engineering team as their manager, at that time my team was struggling to deliver towards an upcoming production deadline for a customer facing product. Production date had been moved 5 times already and there were about 40% of product features which were remaining to be tested and signed off to move to production . I was made responsible to deliver the release of this product within the deadline and turnaround the software delivery throughput."

Use this function to create a hashmap between each string and the CC-a string.
