Given a database, where we know some portion of data (e.g. say 20%) is accessed more than the other portion of the database by the client. We have a frontend that client requests data from. Design a data structure that will increase the efficiency of access of objects. And we know that we can only hold on to n elements in memory.

Connect Four is a game where two players take turns dropping their color discs into a vertically suspended grid. The game ends when a player adds a disc to the playing grid that connects four discs of their color. The connected discs can be in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. Write a function to be called after every turn that returns true if the game is over (and false otherwise).

Given an array of unique non-negative integers, {A1,…,An}, and a positive integer, X, write a function that finds all pairs of numbers in the array that sum to X”. You are given an integer array nums sorted in ascending order (with distinct values), and an integer target. Suppose that nums is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand (i.e., [0,1,2,4,5,6,7] might become [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]).” Take a singly-linked list, and reorder in such a way that the first element points to the last element, second element points to second-to-last element, and so on.
