Suppose we have an array A with m elements and another number n. Amal decided given a present for his n friend, so he will give each of them a jigsaw puzzle. The shop assistant told him that there are m puzzles in the shop, but they might differ in difficulty and size. Specifically, the ith jigsaw puzzle consists of A[i] pieces. So Amal decided that the difference between the numbers of pieces in his presents must be as small as possible. Let x be the number of pieces in the largest puzzle that he buys and y be the ...

Suppose we have an array A with n elements. A[i] represents there are A[i] number of blocks stacked on top of each other at ith column. The entire blocks are inside a closed transparent boundary box. Now if we rotate the entire big box clockwise 90°, then due to change of gravity direction, the blocks will fall, after than reverse it to its previous orientation. Then find the new array like A after these operations.Problem CategoryThis problem falls under sorting problems. Sorting is a very common problem while we are talking about different problem solving algorithms in computer science. As ... Read More

Suppose we have an array A with n elements. Amal has decided to make some money doing business on the Internet for exactly n days. On the i-th day he makes A[i] amount of money. Amal loves progress, that's why he wants to know the length of the maximum non-decreasing subsegment in sequence A[i]. The subsegment of the sequence is its continuous fragment. A subsegment of numbers is called non-decreasing if all numbers in it follow in the nondecreasing order.Problem CategoryAn array in the data structure is a finite collection of elements of a specific type.

Suppose we have two numbers n and k. We are determined to rearrange natural numbers. But there are too many natural numbers, so we have decided to start with the first n. Pick the following sequence of numbers: firstly, all odd integers from 1 to n (in ascending order), then all even integers from 1 to n (also in ascending order). We have to find which number will stand at the position number k.Problem CategoryVarious problems in programming can be solved through different techniques. To solve a problem, we have to devise an algorithm first, and to do that we ... Read More

Suppose we have a string S with n characters. In a joke programming language, there are only 4 instructions."H" to print "Hello World""Q" to print its source code"9" to print "99 bottles of juice""+" to increment the value stored in accumulatorInstructions "H" and "Q" are case-sensitive and they must be in uppercase. The characters except these four are ignored. We have a program written in this language. You have to check whether executing this program will produce any output or not.Problem CategoryVarious problems in programming can be solved through different techniques.

Suppose we have a binary string S of size n. Amal loves football very much. One day, he was watching a match, he was writing the players' current positions on a piece of paper. The given string is the written position. A zero corresponds to players of one team; a one corresponds to players of another team. If there are at least 7 players of some team standing one after another, then the situation is marked as "dangerous". We have to check whether it is dangerous or not.Problem CategoryTo solve this problem, we need to manipulate strings. Strings in a ... Read More

Suppose we have a number n. We are developing a project to build a new data center. The plot of this data center will be a rectangle with an area of exactly n square meters. Each side of the data center must be an integer. We want to minimize the impact of the external environment on the data center. For this reason, we want to minimize the length of the perimeter of the data center (that is, the sum of the lengths of its four sides). We have to find the minimum perimeter of a rectangular data center with an ... Read More
