Assume you have a logistic model that is heavily weighted on one variable and that one variable has sample data like 50.00, 100.00, 40.00, etc….

Next let’s assume that there was a data quality issue with that variable and an unknown number of values removed the decimal point. For example 100.00 turned into 10000.

Would the model still be valid? Why or why not? How would you fix the model?

You are given an N-dimensional array (a nested list) and your task is to convert it into a 1D array. The N-dimensional array can have any number of nested lists and each nested list can contain any number of elements. The elements in the nested lists are integers. Write a function that takes an N-dimensional array as input and returns a 1D array.

Example 1:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>array = [1, [2, 3], [4, [5, 6]], 7]
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>flatten_array(array) -&gt; [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
</code></pre>

Example 2:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>array = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>flatten_array(array) -&gt; [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
</code></pre>

<ol>
<li>Given an example paragraph string and an integer <code>N</code>, write a function <code>n_frequent_words</code> that returns the top <code>N</code> frequent words in the posting and the frequencies for each word.</li>

<li>What’s the function run-time?</li>
</ol>

Example:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>posting = &#34;&#34;&#34;
Herbal sauna uses the healing properties of herbs in combination with distilled water. 
The water evaporates and distributes the effect of the herbs throughout the room. 
A visit to the herbal sauna can cause real miracles, especially for colds. 
&#34;&#34;&#34; 
n = 3
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>n_frequent_words(posting,N) = [
 (&#39;the&#39;, 6), 
 (&#39;herbal&#39;, 2), 
 (&#39;sauna&#39;, 2),
]
</code></pre>

Given two strings, <code>string1</code> and <code>string2</code>, write a function <code>is_subsequence</code> to find out if <code>string1</code> is a subsequence of <code>string2</code>.

Bonus: A subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from another sequence by deleting some elements without changing the order of the remaining elements.

Example:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>string1 = &#39;abc&#39;
string2 = &#39;asbsc&#39;
string3 = &#39;acedb&#39;

is_subsequence(string1, string2) -&gt; True
is_subsequence(string1, string3) -&gt; False
</code></pre>

You have been given a table <code>tbl_numbers</code> with only one column: <code>int_numbers</code>. It can have one integer number value per row in a sequential manner.

Write a query to return the number repeated by one times its own value.

For example, the integer number 5 would appear five times in the output (1 times 5).

Example:

Input:

<code>tbl_numbers</code> table

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>int_numbers</th>
</tr>
</thead>

<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code>1</code></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><code>2</code></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><code>3</code></td>

Given a <code>ListNode</code> representing the head of a linked list, write a function <code>is_cyclic</code> which returns <code>True</code> if a linked list is cyclic and <code>False</code> if it is not. A linked list is cyclic when there is no tail to the linked list, and the supposed tail is attached to another node inside the list itself, creating a cycle.

A <code>ListNode</code> is defined as:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>class ListNode:
	value: ListNode = None
 next: ListNode = None
</code></pre>

Example:

Input:

<img src="/s3/questions/1a65651d-a483-4481-b073-2738d65ab9d7.png" alt="image"/>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>def is_cyclic(head) -&gt; True
</code></pre>

Cyclic Detection

Write a Python function called <code>group_anagrams</code> that takes a list of strings as input and returns a list of lists, where each inner list contains a group of anagrams that were present in the input list.

An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once.

Note: Each of the inner lists should be ordered alphabetically and contain no duplicate values

<h3>Example:</h3>

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>words = [&#34;eat&#34;, &#34;tea&#34;, &#34;tan&#34;, &#34;ate&#34;, &#34;nat&#34;, &#34;bat&#34;]
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>[ 
 [&#34;nat&#34;,&#34;tan&#34;],
 [&#34;ate&#34;,&#34;eat&#34;, &#34;tea&#34;],
 [&#34;bat&#34;]
]
</code></pre>

Explanation:

In the example, the words “eat”, “tea”, and “ate” are anagrams of each other, as are the words “tan” and “nat”. The word “bat” does not have any anagrams in the input list, and therefore is listed on its own. The function then groups the anagrams together and returns a list of lists representing these groups.

Each of the lists representing a group of anagrams is sorted in alphabetical order.

Identify the groups of anagrams in a list of words

Write a Python function called <code>longest_increasing_subsequence</code> that takes a list of integers as input and returns as output the length of the longest increasing subsequence in the list.

Note: An increasing subsequence is a subset of a list where the elements are in strictly increasing order. The subsequence does not have to be contiguous or unique.

<h3>Example:</h3>

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>nums = [10, 9, 2, 5, 3, 3, 7, 101, 18]
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>4
</code></pre>

Explanation:

The longest increasing subsequence is <code>[2, 3, 7, 101]</code>, for a total length of 4.

Find the longest increasing subsequence in a list of integers.

Longest Increasing Subsequence

Given a list of strings, write a function, <code>sorting</code> from scratch to sort the list in ascending alphabetical order.

Notes:
- Do NOT use the built-in <code>sorted</code> function
- Return the new sorted list, rather than modifying the list in-place

Bonus: Have your solution be \(O(n log(n))\).

Example:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>array = [&#34;apple&#34;, &#34;cat&#34;, &#34;banana&#34;, &#34;zoo&#34;, &#34;football&#34;]
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>def sorting(array) -&gt; [&#34;apple&#34;, &#34;banana&#34;, &#34;cat&#34;, &#34;football&#34;, &#34;zoo&#34;]
</code></pre>

Write a function `sorting` from scratch to sort a list of strings in ascending alphabetical order

Sort Strings

Let’s say that we want to build a chatbot system for frequently asked questions. Whenever a user writes a question, we want to return the closest answer from a list of FAQs.

What are some machine learning methods for building this system?

Given a list of strings, write a function that returns their longest common prefix. For example, if you were given the strings <code>&#34;flowers&#34;</code>, <code>&#34;flow&#34;</code>, and <code>&#34;flight&#34;</code>, your function should return the string <code>&#34;fl&#34;</code>.

If the list of strings has no common prefix, return an empty string.

Example 1:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>strings = [&#34;flowers&#34;, &#34;flow&#34;, &#34;flight&#34;] 
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>&#34;fl&#34;
</code></pre>

Example 2:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>strings = [&#34;showboat&#34;, &#34;showcase&#34;, &#34;shower&#34;]
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>&#34;show&#34;
</code></pre>

Given a list of strings, write a function that returns the longest common prefix

Common Prefix

Given a list of integers, identify all the duplicate values in the list. Assume that the list can contain both positive and negative numbers, and the order of the list does not matter. A number is considered a duplicate if it appears more than once in the list. Return a list of the duplicate numbers.

Example 1:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>nums = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>find_duplicates(nums) -&gt; [1, 2, 3]
</code></pre>

The numbers 1, 2, and 3 all appear more than once in the list, so they are considered duplicates.

Example 2:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>nums = [1, -1, 2, 3, 3, -1]
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>find_duplicates(nums) -&gt; [-1, 3]
</code></pre>

The numbers -1 and 3 both appear more than once in the list, so they are considered duplicates. Note that the order of the output does not matter.

Example 3:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>find_duplicates(nums) -&gt; []
</code></pre>

None of the numbers in the list appear more than once, so there are no duplicates.

This problem involves identifying duplicate numbers in a list of integers. The function should return a list of the duplicate numbers.

Find Duplicate Numbers in a List

Given two strings, write a function to return <code>True</code> if the strings are anagrams of each other and <code>False</code> if they are not.

Note: A word is not an anagram of itself.

Example 1:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>string_1 = &#34;listen&#34;
string_2 = &#34;silent&#34;
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>True
</code></pre>

Example 2:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>string_1 = &#34;banana&#34;
string_2 = &#34;bandana&#34;
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>False
</code></pre>

Write a function to return True if two strings are anagrams of each other and False if they are not

Valid Anagram

Say you are given a text document in the form of a string with the following sentences:

Example:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>document = &#34;I have a nice car with a nice tires&#34;
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>
{
&#34;I&#34;:0.11,
&#34;have&#34;:0.11,
&#34;a&#34;:0.22,
&#34;nice&#34;:0.22,
&#34;car&#34;: 0.11,
&#34;with&#34;:0.11,
&#34;tires&#34;:0.11
}
</code></pre>

Write a program in python to determine the TF (<code>term_frequency</code>) values for each term of this document.

Note: Round the term frequency to 2 decimal points.

Write a program in python to determine the TF values for each term of a document

Given an array and a target integer, write a function <code>sum_pair_indices</code> that returns the indices of two integers in the array that add up to the target integer. If not found, just return an empty list.

Note: Can you do it on \(O(n)\) time?

Note: Even though there could be many solutions, only one needs to be returned.

Example 1:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>array = [1 2 3 4] 
target = 5 
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>def sum_pair_indices(array, target) -&gt; [0 3] or [1 2]
</code></pre>

Example 2:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>array = [3]
target = 6 
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>Do NOT return [0 0] as you can&#39;t use an index twice.
</code></pre>

Given an array and a target integer, write a function that returns the indices of two integers in the array that add up to the target integer.

Target Indices

Given the head of a singly linked list represented as a <code>ListNode</code>, and two zero-indexed positions <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>, write a function <code>swap_node</code> which swaps the positions of nodes <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> and returns the new head. Note that you cannot simply swap the values of these nodes, as these nodes do not have values. Instead, you must swap these two using pointer manipulation (i.e., modifying the <code>next</code> references of the involved nodes inside the list).

A <code>ListNode</code> is defined as:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>class ListNode:
 next: ListNode = None
</code></pre>

Example:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>linked_list = ListNode(0x01) -&gt; ListNode(0x02) -&gt; ListNode(0x03) 
# Here, imagine that &#39;0x0_&#39; refer to their memory locations.
head = 0x01
x = 1
y = 2
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>def swap_node(head, x, y) -&gt; ListNode(0x01) -&gt; ListNode(0x03) -&gt; ListNode(0x02)
</code></pre>

Swapping Nodes

You are working with the sales team of an e-commerce store to analyze their monthly performance.

They give you the <code>sales</code> table that tracks every purchase made on the store. The table contains the columns <code>id</code> (purchase id), <code>product_id</code>, <code>date</code> (purchase date), and <code>price</code>.

Write a SQL query to compute the cumulative sum of sales for each product, sorted by product_id and date.

Note: The cumulative sum for a product on a given date is the sum of the price of all purchases of the product that happened on that date and on all previous dates.

<h3>Example:</h3>

Input:

<code>sales</code> table

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Column</th>
<th>Type</th>
