1.

Basic Programming & Data Structures

• Arrays (1D & 2D basics)

• Strings (basic operations, substring, character counts)

• Loops (for, while, nested)

• Conditional Statements (if-else, switch)

• HashMap / Dictionary usage for frequency/counting

2. Sorting and Searching

• Sorting basics (Arrays.sort, custom comparators)

• Binary Search (on sorted arrays, and binary search on answer pattern)

3. Two Pointers & Sliding Window

• Two pointers technique for array/string problems

• Sliding window for subarray/substrings problems

4. Prefix Sum & Frequency Count

• Prefix sums to quickly calculate sums in subarrays

• Frequency counting with HashMap/arrays for counting characters/elements

5. Basic Greedy Algorithms

• Simple greedy logic for optimization problems

6. Brute Force + Optimization

• Understand brute force approach

• Small optimizations to pass medium constraints

7. Simple Recursion

• Basic recursion patterns (factorial, fibonacci, subsets)

• Backtracking basics (optional, for partial 3rd problem)

8. Edge Case Handling & I/O

• Handling corner cases (empty arrays, single element, max/min values)

• Fast Input/Output in Java (Scanner, BufferedReader)

Bonus for Partial Third Problem (Harder)


• Dynamic Programming basics (top-down memoization)

• Binary Search on Answer (advanced searching)

• String/Array transformation patterns (like rearranging or substring rebuild)
