7) Pair wise swap of elements in linked list (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/pairwise-swap-elements-of-a-given-linked-list/) 

8) HashMap internals (http://javarevisited.blogspot.in/2011/02/how-hashmap-works-in-java.html)

17) Find if two rectangles overlap (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find-two-rectangles-overlap/) 

18) Multithreading concepts 

19) Given an array of integers, update the index with the multiplication of previous and next integers. 

   e.g. Input: 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6
