The Counting Sort counts the number of objects having distinct key values. Let us see an example −Note − The below code can be used with negative numbers as well.Exampleimport java.util.*; public class Demo{    static void count_sort(int[] arr){       int max_val = Arrays.stream(arr).max().getAsInt();       int min_val = Arrays.stream(arr).min().getAsInt();       int range = max_val - min_val + 1;       int count[] = new int[range];       int result[] = new int[arr.length];       for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){          count[arr[i] - min_val]++;   ...

Suppose we want to define a function to count the total strobogrammatic numbers that exist in the range of (low and high). As we know that a strobogrammatic number is a number that looks the same when rotated 180 degrees.So, if the input is like low = "50", high = "100", then the output will be 3 as there are three results, 69, 88, and 96.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function findStrobogrammatic(), this will take n, Define an array retif n & 1 is non-zero, then −insert "0" at the end of retinsert "1" at ...

Suppose we have a positive integer, we have to check whether it has alternating bits − so, two adjacent bits will always have different values.So, if the input is like 10, then the output will be True, as binary representation of 10 is 1010.To solve this, we will follow these steps −p := n AND 1if n < 2, then −return truen := n/2while n is non-zero, do −c := n AND 1if c XOR p is same as 0, then −return falsep := cn := n/2return trueLet us see the following implementation to get better understanding −Example#include using ...

Suppose we have a string s, we have to find the count of contiguous substrings that have the same number of 0's and 1's, and all the 0's and all the 1's in these substrings are grouped consecutively. If substrings occur multiple times are counted the number of times they occur.So, if the input is like "11001100", then the output will be 6, as the substrings are "1100", "10", "0011", "01", "1100", "10".To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define an array cnt of size 2 and fill this with 0res := 0for initialize i := 0, when i ...

Suppose we have n houses in a row, now each house can be painted with one of the k colors. The painting cost of each house with a certain color is different. Now we have to keep in mind that we have to paint all the houses such that no two adjacent houses have the same color.The cost of painting each house with a certain color is represented by a matrix of order n x k. And we have to find the minimum cost to paint all houses.So, if the input is like153294then the output will be 5, as paint ...

The Comb Sort in Java eliminates the smaller values situated to the end of the list and the inversions are removed oby by one. Let us see an example −Exampleimport java.util.Arrays; public class Demo{    void comb_sort(int nums[]){       int len_gap = nums.length;       float shrink_val = 1.3f;       boolean swap = false;       while (len_gap > 1 || swap) {          if (len_gap > 1) {             len_gap = (int)(len_gap / shrink_val);          }          swap = ...

Suppose there is a new alien language and that uses the latin alphabet. However, the order among letters are not known. We have a list of non-empty words from the dictionary, these words are sorted lexicographically by the rules of this new language. we have to find the order of letters in this language.So, if the input is like ["wrt", "wrf", "er", "ett", "rftt" ], then the output will be "wertf"To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define one map called degreeDefine one map called graphn := size of wordsfor initialize i := 0, when i < size of ...

Degree of an Array in C++

Updated on 11-Mar-2026 712 Views

Suppose we have an array of non-negative integers called nums, the degree of this array is actually the maximum frequency of any one of its elements. We have to find the smallest possible length of a contiguous subarray of nums, that has the same degree as nums.So, if the input is like [1, 2, 2, 3, 1], then the output will be 2, this is because the input array has a degree of 2 because both elements 1 and 2 appear twice. The subarrays that have the same degree − [1, 2, 2, 3, 1], [1, 2, 2, 3], [2, ...

Suppose we have a binary search tree and a target value; we have to find k values in that BST that are closest to the target. We have to keep in mind that the target value is a floating-point number. We can assume k is always valid, and k ≤ total nodes.So, if the input is liketarget = 3.714286, and k = 2, then the output will be [4, 3]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function pushSmaller(), this will take node, stack st, and target, while node is not present, do −if val of node < ...
