Question is verbose, uses search engine, string matching etc., but at the end boils down to this: There is two dimensional array where each sub array (row) is sorted, i.e. [[1 1000 2000] [20 10001 5000] [55 10002 222222]] Find a minimum range contain a number from each row. For above array it should be (1000-1002) range.

# Question 3: # Complete a function that returns a list containing all the mismatched words (case sensitive) between two given input strings # For example: # - string 1 : "Firstly this is the first string" # - string 2 : "Next is the second string" # # - output : ['Firstly', 'this', 'first', 'Next', 'second']

There is a body of water that starts with 1 square unit, and doubles in size every day (2 units after 2 days, 4 units after 4 days). It takes 100 days to fill up. How many days would it take to fill if you started with 2 square units?

Given an array of strings with commit ids, and a predicate isBuggy that returns if a single commit is buggy, write a program that finds the first buggy commit. - When a commit is buggy, we assume that all its children are buggy. - When a commit is not buggy, we assume that all its ancestors are not buggy. After solving it, I had to describe its time complexity and spatial complexity and how would I choose the test cases.
