Suppose we have a value N, consider a convex N-sided polygon with vertices labelled A[0], A[i], ..., A[N-1] are in clockwise order. Now suppose we want to triangulate the polygon into N-2 triangles. For each triangle, the value of that triangle is the product of the labels of the vertices, and the total score of the triangulation will be the sum of these values over all N-2 triangles in the triangulation. We have to find the smallest possible total score that we can achieve with some triangulation of the polygon. So if the input is [1, 2, 3], then the ...

Suppose we have a list of sorted integers from 1 to n. That is starting from left and ending at right, we have to remove the first number and every other number afterward until we reach the end of the list. We will repeat the previous step again, but this time from right to left, remove the right most number and every other number from the remaining numbers. We will repeat the steps again, alternating left to right and right to left, until one single number remains. We have to find the last number that remains starting with a list ...

Suppose we have a binary tree, we have to find the largest elements of each level of that tree. So if the tree is like −Then the output will be [3, 5, 8]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define an array called ansdefine a recursive function solve(), this will take tree node, and level, the level is initially 0. this method will act like −if node is null, then returnif level = size of ans, then insert node value into ans, otherwise ans[level] := max of ans[level] and node valuecall solve(left subtree of node, level + 1)call solve(right ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to customize behavior for an uncaught exceptions in C++.Usually, the exception is handled by the try-catch block, but there are instances where there isn’t a matching catch block and the program just terminates. This terminate() function is modifiable as per user requirements.Example#include #include using namespace std; //defining custom terminator void myhandler(){    cout

In this problem, we are given three integer value K, N, M. our task is to place K knights in an NxM chessboard such that no two knights attack each other. There can be cases with 0 valid ways and also cases with multiple valid ways. You need to print all valid cases.Knight is a chess piece that moves two moves ahead and then one move to the left of right. It can move in any direction in the chessboard.Attack is the position when one piece can be in the same place as other pieces in one chance of its ...

Suppose we have a list integers representing the data. We have to check whether it is valid UTF-8 encoding or not. One UTF-8 character can be 1 to 4-byte long. There are some properties −For 1-byte character, the first bit is a 0, followed by its unicode code.For n-bytes character, the first n-bits are all 1s, the n+1 bit is 0, followed by n-1 bytes with most significant 2 bits being 10.So the encoding technique is as follows −Character Number RangeUTF-8 octet sequence0000 0000 0000 007F0xxxxxxx0000 0080 0000 07FF110xxxxx 10xxxxxx0000 0800 0000 FFFF1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx0001 0000 0010 FFFF11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx ...

Suppose we have an integer array. All elements in that array is unique. A maximum tree building on this array is defined as follow −The root will hold the maximum number in the array.The left subtree is the maximum tree constructed from left side of the subarray divided by the maximum number.The right subtree is the maximum tree constructed from right side of subarray divided by the maximum number.We have to construct the maximum binary tree. So if the input is like: [3, 2, 1, 6, 0, 5], then the output will be −To solve this, we will follow these ...

Suppose we have a string representing arbitrarily nested ternary expressions, we have to calculate the result of the expression. we can always assume that the given expression is valid and only consists of digits 0-9, ?, :, T and F these few characters. (Here T and F represent True and False respectively). There are some properties −The length of the given string must be less than or equal to 10000.Each number will contain only one digit.The conditional expressions group right-to-left.The condition will always be either T or F. So the condition will never be a digit.The result of the expression ...

Suppose we have an infinite plane, a robot initially stands at position (0, 0) and faces north. The robot can receive one of three instructions −G − go straight 1 unit;L − turn 90 degrees to the left direction;R − turn 90 degrees to the right direction.The robot performs the instructions given in order, Instructions are repeated forever. We have to check whether there exists a circle in the plane such that the robot never leaves the circle. So if the input is like [GGLLGG], then the answer will be true. from (0, 0) to (0, 2), it will loop ...
