Q2. How to get the largest values from a list
Ans. 
Use a sorting algorithm to arrange the list in descending order and then select the first few elements.
• Use a sorting algorithm like quicksort or mergesort to sort the list in descending order.

Q1. Given a grid which represents an ocean( For all index i,j if mat[i][j] = 1 is island and mat[i][j] = 0 means water). Find the island with largest area.
Ans. 
Find the largest island area in a grid representing an ocean using DFS or BFS.
• Use Depth-First Search (DFS) or Breadth-First Search (BFS) to explore the grid.

• Mark visited cells to avoid counting them multiple times.

• Count the size of each island during the traversal.

• Example: For a grid [[1,0,0],[1,1,0],[0,0,1]], the largest island has area 3.

• Keep track of the maximum area found during the exploration.
