Suppose we have a balanced binary search tree, we have to create a function named is_valid_triplet() that returns true when there exist a triplet in given BST whose sum equals to 0, otherwise returns false. Design the method by following these constraints −expected time complexity is O(n^2)O(logn) extra space can be used.So, if the input is likethen the output will be True, as triplet is [-15, 7, 8]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function bst_to_doubli_list(), this will take root, head, tail, if root is same as NULL, then −returnif left of root is not null, then ...

We are given a positive integer N. The goal is to count the pairs of distinct non-negative positive integers that satisfy the inequality: x*x + y*y < NWe will start from x=0 to x2 < N and y=0 to y2 < N . If any x2 + y2 < N, increase count of pairs.Inputn=4Outputdistinct pairs= 4Explanation − pairs will be (0, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1), (1, 0). All these satisfy the inequality x2 + y2 < 4Inputn=2Outputdistinct pairs= 3Explanation − pairs will be (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0). All these satisfy the inequality x2 + y2 < 2Approach ...

We are given a binary sequence of 0’s and 1’s. Also assume a person is sitting at a position or point stored in current_pos. Now starting from current_pos, if the binary sequence has 0 then he moves one step left ( current_pos - 1). If it’s 1 he moves one step right ( current_pos + 1). The goal is to find distinct positions or points he visited after the whole binary sequence is completed.We will solve this using the number of times a point is visited. If frequency is non-zero, increase count of distinct points.InputPath[]= “001100” current_pos=3OutputDistinct points visited on ...

Suppose we have a list of tickets represented by pairs of departure and arrival airports like [from, to], we have to find the itinerary in order. All of the tickets belong to a man who departs from Chennai. So, the itinerary must begin with Chennai.So if the input is like [["Mumbai", " Kolkata"], ["Chennai ", " Mumbai"], ["Delhi", "Bangalore"], ["Kolkata", " Delhi"]], then the output will be ["Chennai", " Mumbai", " Kolkata", " Delhi", "Bangalore"].To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define array ret and a map called graph.Define a method called visit. This will take airport name as ...

Suppose we have a list of N jobs where each job has three parameters. 1. Start Time 2. Finish Time 3. Profit We have to find a subset of jobs associated with maximum profit so that no two jobs in the subset overlap.So, if the input is like N = 4 and J = {{2, 3, 55},{4, 6, 25},{7, 20, 150},{3, 150, 250}} , then the output will be [(2, 3, 55),(3, 150, 250)] and optimal profit 305To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function find_no_conflict(), this will take an array jobs, index,left := 0, right := index - 1while left

We are given with integers N and K. We have binary strings of length N, containing 0’s and 1’s only. The goal is to find the number of such strings of length N that have K consecutive 1’s. I.e, if N=3, and K=2, then count all 3-digit binary strings possible that have 2 consecutive 1’s.Example − 111, here adjacent 1’s appear twice ( K times ).In 011 and 110 adjacent 1’s appeared once only.We will solve this by storing the results of previous values.Taking 3D array count[x][y][z]. Where x is N, y is K and z is last digit of ...

Suppose we have a digital clock of type HH:MM. Which shows the time in hours and minutes only. We are given a number of hours and minutes as input. The goal is to count the number of times all digits are the same. H=M.This happens 3 times a day, first at 00:00 midnight, then at 11:11 and last at 22:22. As time is represented in 24 hour format.InputInput: 12 hours 22 minutes.Output2Explanation − For times 00:00 and 11:11. Twice in 12 hours.InputInput: 48 hours 22 minutes.Output5Explanation − For times 00:00 and 11:11, 22:22 .Approach used in the below program is ...

We are given a big object let’s say, ‘a’ and a small object let’s say, ‘b’. The choices for the object ‘a’ and ‘b’ depend upon the user. In the example below, we are taking objects to be toys which are big as well as small as per the size characteristics. The task is to calculate the maximum number of big toys that can be achieved by giving the small toys in return.Input − big_toys = 8, small_toys = 20, a = 6, b = 4Output − Maximize big when both big and small can be exchanged are − 11Explanation ...
