Suppose we have to make a timebased key-value store class called TimeMap, that supports two operations.set(string key, string value, int timestamp): This will store the key and value, along with the given timestamp.get(string key, int timestamp): This will return a value such that set(key, value, timestamp_prev) was called previously, with timestamp_prev

Suppose we have an array of n elements, and a positive integer s. We have to find the minimal length of a contiguous subarray, of which the sum is greater or equal to s. If there isn’t one, then return 0 instead. So if the array is like [2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4] and sum is 7, then the output will be 2. This is the subarray [4, 3] has the minimum length for this case.To solve this, we will follow these steps −ans := 0, n := size of array A, j := 0 and sum := 0for ...

Suppose we have two integers A and B, we have to return any string S, such that −S has length A + B and contains exactly A number of letter ‘a’ and B number of ‘b’ letters.Substring “aaa” and “bbb” will not be in the string SSo if the given integers are A = 4, B = 1, then the result will be “aabaa”.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a string ret, initially this is emptywhile |A – B| >= 2, if A > B, thenret := ret concatenate ‘aa’decrease A by 2if B is non-zero concatenate ...

Suppose we have an array of citations (The citations are non-negative integers) of a researcher. We have to define a function to compute the researcher's h-index. According to the definition of h-index: "A scientist has index h if h of his/her N papers have at least h citations each, and the other N − h papers have no more than h citations each."So if the input is like citations = [3, 0, 6, 1, 7], then the output will be 3, as it indicates that the researcher has five papers, they have got 3, 0, 6, 1, 7 citations respectively. ...

Suppose we have a 2D binary matrix filled with 0's and 1's. We have to find the largest square containing only 1's and return its area. So if the matrix is like −10100101101111110010Then the output will be 4To solve this, we will follow these steps −ans := 0, n := number of rows, c := number of rowsif n is 0, then return 0Create another matrix of order (n x c)for i in range 0 to n – 1for j in range 0 to c – 1m[i, j] := matrix[i, j]ans := maximum of m[i, j] and ansfor j in ...

In this article we will be discussing the working, syntax and examples of std::is_abstract template in C++ STL.Is_abstract template helps to check whether the class is an abstract class or not.What is an abstract class?Abstract class is a class which has at least one Pure Virtual Function. We use Abstract classes because when we define the function, we don’t know its implementation, so it is very helpful in the case when we don't know what the function of a class is supposed to do further but we are sure that there must be a function like this in our system. ...

Suppose we have an array if equations that represent relationships between variables, now each string equations[i] has the length 4 and takes one of two different forms: "a==b" or "a!=b". Here, a and b are lowercase letters, that are representing one-letter variable names. So we have to find true if and only if it is possible to assign integers to variable names so as to satisfy all the given equations.If the input is like: ["a==b", "b==c", "a==c"], then the answer will be true.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a method called getParent(), this will take character x ...

Suppose we have one infinite integer sequence, we have to find the nth digit of this sequence. So if the input is 11, then the output will be 0 as if we place the numbers like 123456789101112, so the 11th digit is 0.To solve this, we will follow these steps −len := 0 and cnt := 9 and start := 1while n > len * cntn := n – (len * cnt)cnt := cnt * 10, start := start * 10increase len by 1start := start +(n - 1) / lens := start as stringreturn s[(n – 1) mod len]Example ...
