Sambangi C. - "#simple solution 1.firstly find the node in the bst (O(logn) time complexity it take) 2.now removing the node consists of 3 cases: 1.if the node is leaf (no children): (keep track of parent and do) parent.left or parent.right=NULL simply remove the node () 2.if(has one child) replace the node with its child 3.if has both childs we replace the node with either inorder predesor(max of left tree)or inorder succesor and remove the node wh"See full answer

Nicholas S. - "First thing the interviewee did wrong is not asking clarifying questions. This is the most vague problem I have every heard, and the interviewee just made assumptions and started programming."See full answer

Kishor J. - "we can use two pointer + set like maintain i,j and also insert jth character to set like while set size is equal to our window j-i+1 then maximize our answer and increase jth pointer till last index"See full answer
