We are given a string of binary numbers i.e. combination of 0’s and 1’s and an integer value k and the task is to calculate the count of substrings formed with the given binary string having given k 1’s.Input − string str = ‘10000100000’, k = 2Output − Count of substrings of a binary string containing K ones are − 6Explanation − Substrings that can be formed from the given string are 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 010, 100001, 10001, 1001, 101, 11, 1000010. So there are 6 substrings having k number of 1’s i.e. exactly 2 ones.Input − string ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called row and this is representing socks lying in a row. They are not sorted, but we want to rearrange them so that each pair of socks are side by side like (0, 1), (2, 3), (4, 5), and so on. We have to find the minimum number of swaps required to rearrange them.So, if the input is like row = [0, 5, 6, 2, 1, 3, 7, 4], then the output will be 2, as the row orders are[0, 5, 6, 2, 1, 3, 7, 4][0, 1, 6, 2, 5, 3, 7, ...

Given a sorted doubly linked list containing integer values. The goal is to find triplets whose product is equal to the given value x. If input linked list is 3−4−1−2 and x is 6 then count will be 1 (triplet (3, 1, 2))For ExampleInputlinked list: [ 200−4−16−5−10−10−2 ] x=200OutputCount of triplets in a sorted doubly linked list whose product is equal to a given value x are: 3ExplanationTriplets will be: (4, 5, 10), (4, 5, 10) and (10, 10, 2)Inputlinked list: [ 4−3−1−5−2−4−2] x=12OutputCount of triplets in a sorted doubly linked list whose product is equal to a given value ...

In this problem, we are given two numbers A and B. Our task is to create a program to calculate the Fast average of two numbers without division. Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Input: A = 34       B = 54Output: 44Solution Approach: Normally, the average is calculated by adding two numbers and then divide it by 2. This requires division but we need to find the average without using division. This can be done using right shift operator >> and shift the binary expansion instead of using division operator.Program to illustrate the working of our solution, Example#include ...

We are given an array of positive integers. The goal is to find the count of pairs of elements of arr[] such that pairs have elements ( A, B ) where frequency of A is B times and frequency of B is A.Let us understand with examples.Input − int arr[] = { 3, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6, 6}Output − Count of pairs in an array such that frequency of one is at least value of other are − 1Explanation − The valid pairs in an array where A occurs B times and B occurs A times are (3, 3) ...

Suppose we have a list of tree edges in the form [u, v], this indicates there is an undirected edge between u and v. And we also have two values x and y. If we are at node x, and our opponent is at node y. In the first round, we move, then in the next round the opponent moves and so on. The opponent can select to not make a move in a round. We have to find the minimum number of rounds it we need to catch the opponent.So, if the input is like edges = [[0, 1], ...

In this problem, we are given an integers x. Our task is to calculate Fast inverse square root () of a 32-bit floating point number.  The algorithm to find the inverse square root of the number is of great use in programming, such as vector normalization in video games,  in 3D graphics, etc.  Algorithm: Step 1: The algorithm converts the floating point value to integer. Step 2: Operate on the integer value and return approximate value of the inverse square root.Step 3: Convert the integer value back to floating point using the same method used in step 1.Step 4: The approximation is made for improving precision using ...

Suppose we have a 2D matrix where these values are present: 0 represents an empty cell. 1 represents a wall. 2 represents a person. Now a person can walk any of the four direction of up, down, left, right otherwise stay in one time unit. We have to find a walkable cell such that it minimizes the time it would take for everyone to meet and return the time. We have to keep in mind that two people can walk through the same empty cell and you can assume there is always some path between any two people.So, if the ...
