Why 'C' is the default hard disk drive name

Computers have been really important part of our lives. Making our work easy and complete it in no time is the main advantage of computers. In the beginning computers were really expensive and were used by few people. Then with the increase and ease in technology computers became affordable and now-a-days everyone is using computers. Computers are proved as an evolution in our lives.

Though you may be using computers but some of you may not be aware of some hidden facts. If you are using computers daily so here is one simple question for you.

" Do you know why 'C' is the default hard dis drive and not 'A' or 'B'?

Here is the answer:

Hard disk drives became standard since 1980, Before Hard disk drives Floppy disk drivers were used as storage devices. Floppy Disk drives were initial storage devices. They came to existence in 1960's. They came in mainly 2 sizes, 5 1/4" and 3 1/2".

These two floppy disk drives were labelled as Local Disk (A) and Local Disk (B). After the invention of Hard disk , floppy disk of size 8 inch came to existence.Presently Floppy Disk drives and Hard disk drives replace floppy disks.

This is the reason behind 'C' being the default disk drive name. Next drive names are than labelled as D, E etc. DVD drive and USB drive are further named as F, G etc.

Though 'C' is the default drive name but if you want to you can change it to 'A' or 'B' if you have the administrative rights.

1721 - Swapping Nodes in a Linked List.

Hi, Today we will be solving leetcode qs 1721 - Swapping Nodes in a Linked List. This qs is really simple. We need to swap the nodes placed at k distance from the start and end of the Linked List. So let's suppose you have a Linked List input as follows: 1 -> 2-> 4 -> 5 -> 7 -> 8 -> 10-> 9 and you are given a k = 2, so the output should be 1 -> 10 -> 4 -> 5 -> 7 -> 8 -> 2 -> 9 so how do we achieve it??? Intuition The most brute force solution one can think of is using Array data structure. For that, we will traverse through linked List and store all the elements in the Array, swap the two numbers and again insert it in theLinked List again.
