In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find the cost of painting n*m grid.For this we will be provided with two integers n and m. Our task is to calculate the minimum cost of painting a n*m grid is the cost of painting a cell is equal to the number of painted cells adjacent to it.Example#include using namespace std; //calculating the minimum cost int calc_cost(int n, int m){    int cost = (n - 1) * m + (m - 1) * n;    return cost; } int main(){    int n = 4, m = 5;    cout

Suppose we have a list of daily temperatures T, we have to return a list such that, for each day in the input, shows how many days we would have to wait until a warmer temperature. If there is no future day for which this is possible, store 0 instead. For example, if T = [73, 74, 75, 71, 69, 72, 76, 73], output will be [1, 1, 4, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0].To solve this, we will follow these steps −ans := an array of size same as T, and fill this with 0define one stack, and insert 0 ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find the cost to balance the parentheses.For this we will be provided with a sequence of brackets. Our task is to balance those parentheses in the equation by shifting their position by one and print -1 if balancing them isn’t possible.Example#include using namespace std; int costToBalance(string s) {    if (s.length() == 0)       cout

Suppose we have a string S of lowercase letters is given. We will partition this string into as many parts as possible so that each letter appears in at most one part, finally return a list of integers representing the size of these parts. So if the string is like “ababcbacadefegdehijhklij”, output is [9, 7, 8], because the partitions are “ababcbaca”, “defegde”, “hijhklij”. So this is a partition so that each letter occurs in at most one part. A partition like "ababcbacadefegde", "hijhklij" is not correct, because it splits S into less parts.To solve this, we will follow these steps ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find the cost of making a string panagram.For this we will be provided with an array of integers. Our task is to convert the given string into a panagram and calculate the cost of doing that with the help of the array provided with the costs of adding characters.Example#include using namespace std; //calculating the total cost of //making panagram int calc_cost(int arr[], string str) {    int cost = 0;    bool occurred[26] = { false };    for (int i = 0; i < str.size(); i++)     ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find the numbers having ‘d’ digits with 0 as a digit.For this we will be provided with a number ‘d’. Our task is to count and print the number of positive integers having ‘d’ digits and 0 as one of their digit.Example#include using namespace std; //counting the number of 'd' digit numbers int count_num(int d) {    return 9*(pow(10,d-1) - pow(9,d-1)); } int main(){    int d = 1;    cout

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find the distinct pairs with difference equal to k.For this we will be provided with an integer array and the value k. Our task is to count all the distinct pairs that have the difference as k.Example#include using namespace std; int count_diffK(int arr[], int n, int k) {    int count = 0;    //picking elements one by one    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {       for (int j = i+1; j < n; j++)          if (arr[i] - arr[j] ...

Suppose we have some sticks with positive integer lengths. We can connect any two sticks of lengths X and Y into one stick by paying a cost of X + Y. This will be performed until there is one stick remaining. We have to find the minimum cost of connecting all the given sticks into one stick in this way. So if the stack is [2, 4, 3], then the output will be 14.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a max heap priority queue pqinsert all elements of s into pqans := 0while pq has more than ...
