9. How To Remove Duplicate Elements From ArrayList In Java?

Input : [1,2,4,2,4,5]
Output : [1,2,4,5]
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class RemoveDuplicatesFromArraylist {

public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList<Integer> num = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(1, 2, 4, 2, 4,
5));
for (int i = 0; i < num.size(); i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < num.size(); j++) {
if (num.get(i).equals(num.get(j))) {
num.remove(j);
j--;
}

}
System.out.println(num);
}
}
10. Given a sorted array of distinct integers and a target value, return the index if the target

Output: 2

public class FindElement {

public static int find(int[] nums, int target) {

int left = 0;
int right = nums.length - 1;

while (left <= right) {

int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;

if (nums[mid] == target)
return mid;
else if (nums[mid] < target)
left = mid + 1;
else
right = mid - 1;
}

return left;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

int[] nums = new int[] { 1, 3, 5, 6 };
int target = 5;
System.out.println(find(nums, target));
}
}

department_id INT,
salary DECIMAL(10, 2),
hire_date DATE
);

Now, imagine you frequently execute the following query to retrieve

employees earning a salary greater than a specified amount within a
particular department:

SELECT emp_name, salary

FROM employees
WHERE department_id = ? AND salary > ?
ORDER BY hire_date DESC;

Based on the provided query, which column or columns would you

recommend indexing on the "employees" table to optimize the query's
performance? Write the index structure and explain your reasoning.

Answer: -

CREATE INDEX idx_department_salary ON employees (department_id, salary);

10. Question 2

The ideal time between when a customer places an order and when the
order is delivered is below or equal to 45 minutes.
You have been tasked with evaluating delivery driver performance by
calculating the average order value for each delivery driver who has
delivered at least once within this 45-minute period.
Your output should contain the driver ID along with their corresponding
average order value.

Table: Delivery_details

Create Table Query

CREATE TABLE orders (

customer_placed_order_datetime DATETIME,
SQL Questions placed_order_with_restaurant_datetime DATETIME, 3

driver_at_restaurant_datetime DATETIME,
 driver_id INT,
restaurant_id INT,
consumer_id INT,
is_new BOOLEAN,
delivery_region VARCHAR(255),
is_asap BOOLEAN,
order_total FLOAT,
discount_amount FLOAT,
tip_amount FLOAT,
refunded_amount FLOAT
);

Answer: -

SELECT
driver_id,
AVG(order_total) AS average_order_value
FROM
orders
WHERE
delivered_to_consumer_datetime IS NOT NULL
AND TIMESTAMPDIFF(MINUTE, placed_order_with_restaurant_datetime,
delivered_to_consumer_datetime) <= 45
GROUP BY
driver_id;
