Level Order Traversal, also known as Breadth-First Search (BFS), is a method of traversing a tree where nodes are visited level by level, starting from the root node and moving left to right within each level. In this article, our task is to print the nodes of a binary tree in level order, with each level displayed on a separate line. For example, if the binary tree (consider the below image) is traversed in level order. The output will look like this: 1 2 3 4 5 Printing Level Order Traversal Line by Line The following are the ...

LinkedHashSet is a collection in Java that maintains the insertion order of elements. It is part of the Java Collections Framework and extends the HashSet class. It stores unique elements and allows null values, but only one null element. It is similar to HashSet; the main difference is that a LinkedHashSet maintains a linked list holding of the entries of the current object, allowing it to maintain the order of elements. Let's learn how to get the size of a LinkedHashSet in Java. The following are some example scenarios: Scenario 1 Input : set = {1, 2, 3, 4, ... Read More
The Stack is a data structure that is used to store elements in a Last In First Out (LIFO) manner. In Java, a stack is represented by the java.util.Stack class. It provides methods to create and manipulate a stack. Get an Element of a Stack without Removing it The pop() method of the Stack class removes the element at the top of the stack and returns it. But there is no direct way to access an element without removing it. However, we can see/view the top element of a Stack in Java using the peek() method. This method returns the ... Read More
An array is a group of similar data elements stored at contiguous memory locations. It is one of the fundamental data structures in programming and used to store and manage multiple values of the same type. Here, we are given an array arr[] containing N unsorted elements, and our task is to find the three largest elements from this array. To understand the problem better. let's see the following example scenarios: Scenario 1 Input: arr[] = {7, 3, 9, 12, 1} Output: 12, 9, 7 Scenario 2 Input: arr[] = {15, 22, 6, 3, 11, 8} Output: 22, 15, ...

Merge sort is a popular sorting algorithm that follows the divide-and-conquer strategy. It works by recursively dividing the input array into two halves, sorting each half, and then merging them. With a time complexity of O(n log n). 3-Way Merge Sort An optimized variation of merge sort is the 3-way merge sort, where the array is divided into three equal parts instead of two. This reduces the number of recursive calls and improves performance in certain scenarios. 3-Way Merge Sort algorithm Following are the steps (algorithm) to implement the 3-way merge sort: Divide the array ...

A constructor is a special method in Java that is used to initialize objects. It gets called when an instance of a class is created. The constructor has the same name as the class and does not have a return type. The question is whether a constructor can be declared or made final in Java? The answer is no. Let's understand why. Why can't we declare a Java Constructor "final"? In Java, the final keyword is used to restrict modification of the members of a class (methods and variables). For example, a final method of a class cannot be overridden ... Read More
The 3 Sum Closest problem involves finding the sum of three numbers in an array that is closest to a given target value. We are given an integer array nums of length n and an integer target. Our goal is to find three integers in the array such that their sum is as close as possible to the target using C++ program. In this task, we assume that each input has exactly one solution. If there are multiple sums equally close to the target, we return the maximum one. Let's consider the following example scenario to understand the problem more ... Read More
A polygon is a closed two-dimensional shape formed by connecting three or more straight lines end-to-end. These lines form sides, and their connection points are called vertices. When the vertices of the polygon are given in a specific order either clockwise or counter-clockwise, we can calculate the area of the polygon using a mathematical formula known as the Shoelace Formula or Surveyor’s Formula. You are given the coordinates of a polygon with n vertices. The vertices are provided in an ordered manner, meaning they are listed either in clockwise or anticlockwise order starting from the first vertex to the last. ... Read More
We are given a string that contains both lowercase and uppercase characters, and we have to sort them in an alternate way, meaning one lowercase letter, then one uppercase letter, then again a lowercase letter, and so on, all in sorted order within their cases. Let's understand this with a few example scenarios. Scenario 1 Input: "aFegrAfStRzsV" Output: "AagfRsSeTvz" Explanation: Sorted uppercase letters: A, F, R, S, T, V Sorted lowercase letters: a, e, f, g, r, s, z We place one uppercase letter, then one lowercase letter, starting with an uppercase. We repeat this until all letters ... Read More
In this problem, we are given a number in the form of an array, and each digit of the number is stored at one index of the array, and the most significant digit comes first. Our task is to add 1 to this number and return the updated number in the same array format. Let's understand it with some example scenarios. Scenario 1 Input: Input_arr[] = {2, 6, 1} Output: 262 Explanation: The array represents 261. Adding 1 gives 261 + 1 = 262. Scenario 2 Input: input_arr[] = {5, 9, 9, 9} Output: 6000 Explanation: The array ... Read More
