Sachin R. - "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?"See full answer

Anonymous Aardvark - "in simple words, linear regression helps in predicting the value whereas logistics regression helps in predicting the binary classification. But lets talk through some example Linear regression model: E-commerce website pricing recommendation engine is built on linear regression model where we do have some variables such as competitor price, internal economics and consumer demand etc when we put this in a supervised learning model, it helps in predicting prices Logistics regression model"See full answer

Will I. - "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."See full answer

Bless M. - "You can ask some clarifying questions like 1) Ask if the list is already sorted or not 2) is zero included in the list ? 3) Natural numbers are usually positive numbers ( clarify they are non negatives) Solution : 1) If sorted use two pointers and sort them in O(N) 2) if not sorted , -ve / only +ve numbers in the list doesn't matter - the easiest solution is Use a priority queue and push the number and its square in each iteration Finally return the list returned by the priority Queue.
