I literally spent an hour scratching my head trying to solve this, and its saying that it’s AI written 😭 (i was just testing)

There are few (not few) many terms that i don't understand in the context of LEETCODE some of them are :

GREEDY

Constructive Algorithm

DP..... etc.

Like wtf does they even mean, how would I know whether my solution or the question has to be solved this way 🥀.

so plz any help will be appreciated !!.

class Solution:
    def getSecondLargest(self, arr):

        arr.sort(reverse=True)
        myset = set(arr)

        if len(myset)==1:
            return -1
        elif len(arr)<2:
            arr.remove(max(arr))
            return arr[0]
        else:
            for i in range(len(arr)):
                if arr[i] != arr[i+1]:
                    return arr[i+1]

What's the fee of PICT HOSTEL (including Mess) for boys (obc).

which should i place first then - CSE (Aided) or CSE (Unaided) for ex .

My long-term goal is to become an ML Engineer, and for that I have already started learning the maths required. But the thing is, I'm currently going to take admission in an engineering college, and I'm so worried about whether I'll get an internship or not because I don't have any knowledge about frameworks and stuff like Node.js, Spring Boot, FastAPI, etc.

(What I mean is, MOST people do for e.g Web Development + DSA ; i only do DSA/CP).

So, what should I learn in order to get an internship at a good company?

- I don't like frontend at all.

- I really love building CLI tools (haven't built any yet).

- I can solve Easy/Medium and sometimes Hard LeetCode problems.

- I have basic to intermediate knowledge of Python, C++, Java, Git, and GitHub.

- I want to build cool CLI tools, but I don't know what I should learn.

- Will I get an internship if I build cool CLI projects along with DSA/CP?

Confusion:

I am confused between backend and CLI developer! Should I learn CLI first then Backend or CLI only.

Admission type : Direct Second year (lateral).

96.59 percentages in final year diploma.

My top 3 colleges are locked in for CSE/IT/AI : COEP, VJTI, and WCE.

Since my budget is tight, I’m strictly looking at 100% Govt or Govt-aided colleges only (absolutely no private).

Can someone give me an honest take on how to order my 4th to 7th choices among SGGS Nanded, GCOE Aurangabad, GCOE Amravati, and GCOE Karad, GCOE Kolhapur, GCOE Nagpur and so on.

Just help me with which college should I put on "4th ,5th 6th...place." cap round is gonna start in few days and i am totally stuck.
