Here we will see how to calculate the remainder of array multiplication after dividing the result by n. The array and the value of n are supplied by the user. Suppose the array is like {12, 35, 69, 74, 165, 54} so the multiplication will be (12 * 35 * 69 * 74 * 165 * 54) = 19107673200. Now if we want to get the remainder after dividing this by 47 it will be 14. As we can see this problem is very simple. We can easily multiply the elements then by using modulus operator, it can get ...

In this section we will see how we can get the product of unique prime factors of a number in an efficient way. There is a number say n = 1092, we have to get product of unique prime factors of this. The prime factors of 1092 are 2, 2, 3, 7, 13. So the unique prime factors are {2, 3, 7, 13}, and the product is 546. Syntax int uniquePrimeProduct(int n); Algorithm To solve this problem, we have to follow this approach − Handle factor 2: When the number is divisible ...

A parabola is a U-shaped curve that can be described by a quadratic equation. In C programming, we can find key properties of a parabola including its vertex, focus, and directrix using mathematical formulas. The general equation of a parabola is − Syntax y = ax² + bx + c Where a, b, and c are coefficients and a ≠ 0. ...

In this article, we will learn how to count the number of elements whose absolute values are distinct in an array. For example, in the array {5, 5, 6, -5, 8, 2, -2, 1}, there are 8 elements total, but only 5 distinct absolute values: {5, 6, 8, 2, 1}. Note that -5 and 5 are considered the same since their absolute values are identical. Syntax int absoluteDistinctCount(int arr[], int n); Algorithm To solve this problem, we use a simple approach − 1. Create a boolean array to mark visited absolute values ...

Here we will see how we can find the absolute difference between the sum of all prime numbers and all non-prime numbers of an array. To solve this problem, we have to check whether a number is prime or not. One possible way for primality testing is by checking if a number is not divisible by any number between 2 to square root of that number. This process will take O(√n) amount of time for each number. Syntax int diffPrimeNonPrimeSum(int arr[], int n); Algorithm begin sum_p := sum of ...

Here we will see how to get the absolute difference between the first X and last X digits of a number N. To solve this problem, we first extract the last X digits using the modulus operator, then extract the first X digits by reducing the number's length. Finally, we calculate the absolute difference between these two values. Syntax int diffFirstLastDigits(int n, int x); Algorithm diffFirstLastDigits(N, X) begin p := 10^X last := N mod p len := length of the ...

In this section we will see how to find the absolute difference between the sum of the roots and the product of the roots of a quartic equation. A quartic equation has the form ax4 + bx3 + cx2 + dx + e = 0. We can solve the equation and then calculate the sum and product of the roots using traditional methods, but that approach is time-consuming and inefficient. For a quartic equation, we have two important formulas − Sum of roots = -b/a Product of roots = e/a Therefore, we need to find ...

Two-way selection sort is an improved version of selection sort that processes the array from both ends simultaneously. Instead of finding only the minimum element in each pass, it finds both the minimum and maximum elements and places them at their correct positions from the left and right ends respectively. Syntax void twoWaySelectionSort(int arr[], int n); Algorithm begin for i := 0, and j := n-1, increase i by 1, and decrease j by 1, until i >= j, do min := minimum element from index i ...

We know that the binary search algorithm is better than the linear search algorithm. This algorithm takes O(log n) amount of time to execute. Though most of the cases the implemented code has some problem. Let us consider one binary search algorithm function like below − Syntax int binarySearch(int array[], int start, int end, int key); Problem in Common Implementation Here is a common but problematic implementation of binary search − #include int binarySearch(int array[], int start, int end, int key){ if(start key) ...
