Suppose we have one undirected, connected tree where N nodes are present. These are labelled as 0...N-1 and N-1 edges are given. The ith edge connects nodes edges[i][0] and edges[i][1] together. We have to find a list where ans[i] is the sum of the distances between node i and all other nodes.So, if the input is like N = 6 and edges = [(0, 1), (0, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5)], then the output will be [8, 12, 6, 10, 10, 10]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function dfs1(), this will take node, parent, ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum size rectangle binary sub-matrix with all 1s.For this we will be provided with 2D matrix containing zeroes and ones. Our task is to find the largest 2D matrix subset containing only ones.Example#include using namespace std; #define R 4 #define C 4 //finding the maximum area int maxHist(int row[]) {    stack result;    int top_val;    int max_area = 0;    int area = 0;    int i = 0;    while (i < C) {       if (result.empty() || row[result.top()]

Suppose we have two strings X and Y, these are similar if we can swap two letters of X, so that it equals Y. Also two the strings X and Y are similar if they are equal. As an example, consider, two strings are like "tars" and "rats" are similar, if we swap t and r, then we can find another, now "rats" and "arts" are similar, but "star" is not similar to "tars", "rats", or "arts". Now we can see, these form two connected groups by similarity: {"tars", "rats", "arts"} and {"star"}. Here "tars" and "arts" are in the ...

Suppose we have two strings s and t which consist of only lowercase letters. Now, string t is generated by random shuffling string s and then add one more letter at a random index. We have to find the letter that was added in t.So, if the input is like "mnopq", "pqmnot", then the output will be "t", this is the extra letter.To solve this, we will follow these steps −sSum := 0, tSum := 0for initialize i := 0, when i < call length() of s, update (increase i by 1), do −sSum := sSum + s[i]for initialize j ...

Suppose we have one undirected, connected graph with N nodes these nodes are labeled as 0, 1, 2, ..., N-1. graph length will be N, and j is not same as i is in the list graph[i] exactly once, if and only if nodes i and j are connected. We have to find the length of the shortest path that visits every node. We can start and stop at any node, we can revisit nodes multiple times, and we can reuse edges.So, if the input is like [[1], [0, 2, 4], [1, 3, 4], [2], [1, 2]], then the output ...

Suppose we have an integer; we have to devise an algorithm to convert it to hexadecimal. For negative numbers we will use the two’s complement method.So, if the input is like 254 and -12, then the output will be fe and fffffff4 respectively.To solve this, we will follow these steps −if num1 is same as 0, then −return "0"num := num1s := blank stringwhile num is non-zero, do −temp := num mod 16if temp

Suppose we have two strings A and B. These two strings are K-similar (where K is one nonnegative integer) if we can swap the positions of two letters in A exactly K times so that the resulting string is B. So, we have two anagrams A and B, we have to find the smallest K for which A and B are K-similar.So, if the input is like A = "abc", B = "bac", then the output will be 2.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function swapp(), this will take string s, i, j, x := s[i], ...

Suppose there are N workers. Each worker has the quality parameter. The i-th worker has a quality[i] and a minimum wage expectation wage[i]. Now we want to hire K workers to form a paid group. When we are hiring a group of K workers, we must pay them according to the following rules −Each worker in the paid group should be paid in the ratio of their quality by comparing with others in the paid group.Every worker in the paid group must be paid at least their minimum wage expectation.We have to find the least amount of money needed to ...

Suppose we have a string which consists of lowercase or uppercase letters, we have to find the length of the longest palindromes that can be built with those letters. Now the string is case sensitive, so "Aa" is not considered a palindrome here.So, if the input is like "abccccdd", then the output will be 7, as one longest palindrome that can be built is "dccaccd", whose length is 7.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define one map mpfor each character i in s(increase mp[i] by 1)ma := 0, c := 0, ans := 0for each key-value pair i ...
