4 Two Pointers Technique – Used in sorted arrays (for pairs, duplicates).
5 Prefix Sum / Difference Array – Efficient range queries.
6 Sliding Window – For subarray/substring problems.
7 Floyd’s Cycle Detection – Detect cycles in linked lists.
8 Basic Recursion – Fibonacci, factorial, tree traversal, etc.
9 Hashing (Map/Set) – Frequency count, duplicates.

■ Intermediate (Real-World Problem Solving)


Focus: Pattern recognition, optimization, multiple data structures.
Good for: Mid-level product companies like Samsung, Adobe, Paytm, Oracle.

6 Union-Find (Disjoint Set) – Track connected components in graphs.
7 Topological Sort (DFS / Kahn’s Algo) – Task scheduling in DAG.
