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 < ...

Given the task is to find the maximum count of substrings of length K consisting of same characters. Given a string s and another integer K, we have to count the occurrence of sub-strings of size K that have same characters.Out of the sub-strings that are found, we have to choose the sub-string occurring the maximum number of time.Let’s now understand what we have to do using an example −Inputs = ”tuuxyyuuc”, K = 2Output2ExplanationHere the sub-strings of length 2 and having same characters are: “uu” and “yy” but as it is seen that “yy” occurs only 1 time and ...

Suppose there is a group of two or more people and they wants to meet and minimize the total travel distance. We have a 2D grid of values 0 or 1, where each 1 mark the home of someone in the group. The distance is calculated using the formula of Manhattan Distance, so distance(p1, p2) = |p2.x - p1.x| + |p2.y - p1.y|.So, if the input is like100010000000100then the output will be 6 as from the matrix we can understand that three people living at (0, 0), (0, 4), and (2, 2): The point (0, 2) is an ideal meeting ...

Given the task is to find the maximum integer value that can be obtained while travelling in a path from the top left element to the bottom right element of a given square binary array, that is, starting from index [0][0] to index [n - 1][n - 1].While covering the path we can only move to right ([i][j + 1]) or to the bottom ([i + 1][j])The integer value will be calculate using the bits of the traversed path.Let’s now understand what we have to do using an example −Inputm = {    {1, 1, 1, 1},    {0, 0, ...

In Bitonic Sort, the comparision is in predefined sequence (Bitonic sequence), not dependent on the data to be sorted. Let us see an example for Bitonic Sort Java program −Examplepublic class Demo{    void compare_swap(int my_arr[], int i, int j, int direction){       if ((my_arr[i] > my_arr[j] && direction == 1) || (my_arr[i] < my_arr[j] && direction == 0)){          int temp = my_arr[i];          my_arr[i] = my_arr[j];          my_arr[j] = temp;       }    }    void merge_vals(int my_arr[], int low, int cnt, int direction){   ...

Suppose we have one binary tree and we have to serialize and deserialize them. As we know that the serialization is the process of converting a data structure or object into a sequence of bits so we can store them in a file or memory buffer, and that can be reconstructed later in the same or another computer environment.Here we have to devise an algorithm to serialize and deserialize binary tree. The binary tree is a rooted tree in which each node has no more than 2 children.So, if the input is likethen the output will be Serialize − 1 ...

Given the task is to find a sub-string from a given binary string and then the maximum difference between the number of zeroes and the ones.Let’s now understand what we have to do using an example −Inputstr = “100100110”Output2ExplanationIn the sub-array from the position 1 to 5 (“00100”), the difference between the zeros and ones = 4 – 1 = 3 which is the maximum that can be found.Inputstr = “00000”Output5Approach used in the below program as followsIn main() function create a string str to store the binary string. Also initialize a variable int size to store the size of ...

Updated on 11-Mar-2026 552 Views

Suppose we have an image and that image is represented by a binary matrix with 0 as a white pixel and 1 as a black pixel. Here the black pixels are connected, so there is only one black region. Pixels are connected horizontally and vertically. If we have a location (x, y) of one of the black pixels, we have to find the area of the smallest (axis-aligned) rectangle that encloses all black pixels.So, if the input is like001001100100and x = 0, y = 2, then the output will be 6To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define one ...

ConceptWith respect of the given number of cities N numbered from 0 to N-1 and the cities in which stations are located, our task is to determine the maximum distance between any city and its nearest station. It should be noted that the cities with stations can be given in any order.InputnumOfCities = 6, stations = [2, 4]Output2InputnumOfCities = 6, stations = [4]Output4The following figure indicates the first example containing 6 cities and the cities with stations highlighted with green color. So, in this case, the farthestcities from its nearest stations are 0 at a distance of 2. Hence maximum ...
