[@snlagr]

"You need 1 big tech or 1 well known startup experience in your resume within first 7-8 years after that even if you do average, atleast you'll get interviews, you'll keep consistently making that bare minimum amount" That was so insightful!

[@nachiketgomkale5400]

first time seeing someone whos is giving hard time to Kirat !!

[@pcodes]

Bro Harkirat, Please invest in a nice podcast setup. Audio quality can be much better. Though the content is as always one of a kind and inspiring.

[@3rd_Eye_Gang]

Arpit is one of the most enthusiastic person I have ever come across..been following him for almost 2 years and he always motivates me to dive deeper into everything you are working on..One of the best out there,No doubt.

[@SnehilCodes]

Haven't written C in a while but going by pseudo-code, I believe this is how the signature would be. The function is supposed to be able to sort both an array or a linked list. Let's call them collection in general. We'll assume the sort function doesn't know ANYTHING about the data structure. For sorting the function should know how to do the following operations at the bare minimum: 1. Know where start from: start pointer 2. Know how to go to the next item: iterator (func pointer) 3. Know which value among two neighboring values is bigger: comparator (func pointer) 4. Know how to swap 2 values: let's call it mutator for lack of a better term (func pointer) During a in-place merge sort, you can reach mid by calling iterator using slow and fast pointers. During merge, you can call comparator to give you the order in which you need to place the items and then use the mutator to perform the swap. void sort(start, iterator, comparator, mutator) This way we've abstracted away the data structure and that spec can be defined by the function's consumers.

[@Ayan-od8hk]

Good one. I also think this is the bare minimum information the function needs to know, that you called 'specs' to be able to do this job. But again, he said, you pass it Array or LInkedLIst, it will do the rest, without needing to know what data structure it is. I wonder if that is possible.

[@learn_with_rks]

Great bro!

[@Harzit]

Bro's content 🗿 Bro's setup 🤡

[@motivationhub2101]

One of the best podcast kirat... his attitude is truly exceptional! ❤️

[@zyne75]

49:47 what i think could be a possible signature: As the sorting function doesn't know about the nature of the "thing" passed (thing could be an array or a linked list), we bring both array and linked list to the same pedestal, by this i mean creating a unified interface that will deal for both. Now we create two wrapper classes, both for an array and a linked list. These two wrapper classes will have similar set of methods as in: getElement, setElement, getLength. These classes will provide a common way to deal with, without the sorting function knowing if its an array or a linked list. Now write the sorting function that will use these common methods provided by the wrappers. It doesn’t care if it’s working on an array or a linked list because the methods behave the same. So finally coming to the raw answer, the function signature would look like: function sort(data) { // Sorting logic using the methods provided by the `data` object. }

[@sensiblehuman5328]

It depends on the person. I have been a Senior Software Engineer and very happy. Don't want to go up the ladder. People get that FOMO. I was there but understood soon that its not for me. If you are not interested in spending too much time at your job, for god's sake please stop at Senior Software Engineer. Get a remote job and chill. Spend time with your family. Have fun. Also spend time on yourself and your passion. Your passion will earn you lot of money or whatever you choose. You have 1 life. Live it up. So many people higher up the ladder are depressed. Again, this is coming from a Senior Software Engineer who makes much more than his Director :)

[@Tejvard1]

Are you for real? Why is that FOMO? How did you concluded that its not for you? Can you detail?

[@goliathstark9142]

it makes sense...bro grinded programming but paid attention to business operations...i hate coding but i love the scaling solutions that efficient data management brings to tech service startups. bro see if u can get sanjeev sharma from swayatt..hes sick

[@Ivy_Inquisitor]

Regarding 49:00 - challenge for the audience, If you do not want to use if else then you need to use an array of function pointers, void* (*sort[2])(void *InitialElement, int length); before calling sort function initialize it with respective functions, sort[0] = sortArray; sort[1] = sortList; get the 'type' of data being worked on and store it in a variable say - 'type'. and basically call, sort[type]; Alternative is to pass a comparator function pointer and depending on the data type the comparison implementation will vary. void* sort(void *InitialElement, int length, void* (*comparator)(void *a, void *b));

[@rishabhraj9802]

Here i think there is no need to make a array also, based on need just point the function pointer to the desired sort function, array just helps to pass a static value

[@Ayan-od8hk]

I don't know if I understood correctly. But I don't think we are allowed to determine the type of datastructure being used and calling based on that, because that would basically be like doing if else the hard way. The second options seems more agreeable based on the constraints.

[@AshishSaharia]

to check if the passed parameter is linked list or array what can we do is check the size of the object or type that it is referring. In case of linked list the object size would be greater than the integer one. then we can simply apply the sorting algo.

[@VinayKumar-tv1nd]

Answer is Bubble sort. Linked List we can get element and next element only. then a function of swap element from using a temp variable.

[@ayushtripathi429]

best one so far harkirat!!!

I had the chance to work and improve the tools and internal products created by Arpit Bhayani. Never had the chance to meet him in person though. Fun part I had been also administrating the whole infrastructure both dev and prod. Arpit if you are reading, Jkk is still there, had real fun working with him. Alk left though but his code is a diamond mine.

[@joshua_dlima]

Arpit sir is an absolute legend!! have been following him on LinkedIn for a while.

[@sulemansohail2831]

I have worked in C++, something like that may work. //index operator override Node overrideFunction(Node * x, int index){ int i = 0; while(inext; i++; } return x->value; } void sort(T * head, int size){ // n-square sort function :( for (int i = 0; i < size - 1; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < size - i - 1; j++) { if (head[j] > head[j + 1]) { T temp = head[j]; head[j] = head[j + 1]; head[j + 1] = temp; } } } }

[@namangoyal8477]

loved the podcast.

[@nikhillamba1878]

I think, answer to the question lies in the basic principles of what Array and Linkedlist is. And if memory addresses are passed to the function directly, then, it doesn't matter which data structure it is. Correct me, if I'm wrong.

[@itsmemyme]

The OG Arpit Bhayani 🙌

[@advaitdocvita]

Two legends in a frame 🎉❤

[@MuditAnand-d8o]

My approach to solution would be method overloading 🙂

[@prakharpandey4496]

In the question at last can we use an interface that both Array and LinkedList implements then we can write a sort method that takes that interface (basically utilize polymorphism) to sort it. I think this is what we can do in Java. Curious to know how this could be implemented in C++ as told by Arpit.

[@Ayan-od8hk]

As someone did in the comments, one idea is to pass a comparator and iterator (basically telling how to compare and iterate) when using the function with the datastructure being used.
