In this problem, we are given a linked list with a node consisting of two values and a pointer. Our task is to create a program to find the sum of smaller elements of a node in a linked list.Here, in the linked list we have two elements say X and Y. The program will find a minimum of x and y. The minimum elements from all nodes are added which is the required result.Input −(5, 2)->(7, 9)->(6, 3)->(36, 24)->(19, 26)->nullOutput −55Explanation −Let’s take the minimum of X and Y from each node −node1 - mini = 5 node2 - ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum sum alternating subsequence.For this we will be provided with an array of integers. Our task is to find the maximum sum of an alternating subsequence i.e sequence which is first decreasing, then increasing, then decreasing and so on.Example#include using namespace std; //returning maximum sum alternating series int maxAlternateSum(int arr[], int n) {    if (n == 1) return arr[0];    int dec[n];    memset(dec, 0, sizeof(dec));    int inc[n];    memset(inc, 0, sizeof(inc));    dec[0] = inc[0] = arr[0];    int flag = 0 ;    for (int i=1; i

Suppose we have two non-empty strings s1 and s2 (maximum 100 characters) and two numbers n1 and n2 both are in range 0 to 106. Now suppose the strings S1 and S2, where S1=[s1, n1] and S2=[s2, n2].S = [s, n] defines the string S which consists of n connected strings s. As an exdample, ["ab", 4] ="abababab".On the other hand, we cal also define that string s1 can be obtained from string s2 if we remove some characters from s2 such that it becomes s1. So, "abc" can be obtained from "abdbec" based on the definition, but it can ...

Suppose we have a binary matrix; we have to find the pair of rows in the given matrix that has maximum bit difference.So, if the input is like matrix, then the output will be [2, 3] as bit difference between rows 2 and row 3 is 4, this is maximum.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define Trie structure, with value and two children.Define a function get_max_bit_diff(), this will take root of a trie, matrix, n, row_index, temp := root, count := 0for initialize i := 0, when i < n, update (increase i by 1), do−if child[ matrix[row_index, ...

In this problem, we are given 3 array X, Y, Z. Our task is to create a program to find the Sum of special triplets having elements from 3 arrays.Special Triplet is a special type of triplet that hold the following property −For (a, b, c): a ≤ b and b ≥ c, i.e the middle element of the triplet should be greeter that the other two.And, the value of the triplet is given by the formula −f(a, b, c) = (a+b) * (b+c)To create this triplet we need to use one element from each other the three arrays given.Let’s ...

In this problem, we are given a number n of the series. Our task is to find the sum of series 1^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 +... + (2*n - 1)^2 for the given value of n.Let’s take an example to understand the problem,Input −n = 5Output −84Explanation −sum = 1^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 7^2 + 9^2 = 1 + 9 + 25 + 49 = 84A basic approach to solve this problem is by directly applying the formula for the sum of series.Example#include using namespace std; int calcSumOfSeries(int n) {    int sum = 0;    for (int i = 1; i

In this problem, we are given an array arr[]. Our task is to create a program to find the maximum sum bitonic subarray in C++.Bitonic Subarray is a special subarray in which the element strictly increase first and then strictly decreases after reaching a certain point.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Inputarr[] = {4, 2, 3, 7 ,9, 6, 3, 5, 1}Output30ExplanationThe bitonic subarray is [2, 3, 7, 9, 6, 3]. Sum = 2 + 3 + 7 + 9 + 6 + 3 = 30Solution ApproachThe solution is similar to that in the bitonic subsequence problem. We ...

Suppose we have a non-empty string; we have to encode this string such that its encoded length will be minimum.The encoding rule is like − k[encoded_string], where the encoded_string inside [ ] is being repeated exactly k times. We have to keep in mind that k will be a positive integer and encoded string will not be empty or have extra space. We can assume that the input string contains only lowercase letters. If the encoding process does not make the string shorter, then do not encode that string.So, if the input is like "aaaaa", then the output will be ...

In this problem, we are given string str. Our task is to create a program to find the sum of similarities of the string with all of its suffixes.Suffixes of string str are all the strings that are created by eliminating starting characters of the string.Similarities of string str1 and str2 is the length of the longest prefix common to both the string. For example, str1 = ‘abbac’ and str2 = ‘abb’ is 3.While str1 = ‘abca’ and str2 = ‘ca’ is 0. As we count from start.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Input − str = ‘xyxyx’Output ...
