In this problem, we are given a number n. Our task is to print all Pierpont prime numbers less than n.Pierpont Prime number is a special type of prime number that is of the form, p= 2i . 3k + 1.Where p is a prime number, and i and k are some integers.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Input − n = 50Output − 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 37To solve this problem, we have to find all the prime numbers that follow the condition. For this, we will find a number with factors of powers ...

Suppose we have an array of integers with possible duplicates, we have to pick the index randomly of a given target number. We can assume that the given target number must exist in the array. So if the array is like [1, 2, 3, 3, 3], then pick(3), may return 2, 3, 4 randomly.To solve this, we will follow these steps −ret := - 1, cnt := 1for i in range 0 to size of vif v[i] = target, thenif random number mod cnt = 0, then ret = icnt := cnt + 1return retExample (C++)Let us see the following ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand if the C++ compiler creates a default constructor when we write our own.Generally, the C++ compiler uses the default constructor when no one is defined, but always uses the one defined by the user if any.Example#include using namespace std; class myInteger{ private:    int value;    //other functions in class }; int main(){    myInteger I1;    getchar();    return 0; }OutputCompiles successfullyExample#include using namespace std; class myInteger{    private:       int value;    public:       myInteger(int v) //user-defined constructor    { value = v; ...

Suppose we have a collection of rocks, now each rock has a positive integer weight. In each turn, we choose any two rocks and smash them together. If the stones have weights x and y with x = 0, decrease j by 1dp[j] := false when (dp[j] and dp[j – stones[i]]) both are false, otherwise trueif dp[j] is true, then reach := max of reach and jreturn total – (2 * reach)Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −Example#include using namespace std; class Solution {    public:    int lastStoneWeightII(vector& stones) {       int ...

Suppose we have a string, we can form a subsequence of that string by deleting some number of characters (possibly no deletions). So if there is two strings source and target, we have to find the minimum number of subsequences of source such that their concatenation equals target. If the task is impossible, then return -1. So if source is “abc” and target is “abcbc”, then the output will be 2.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a string called possible, this will take s and t as inputcreate a map mfor each character c in s mark ...

In this problem, we are given array arr[] and two integers M and K. our task is to create an Array using elements of the given array. The size of the new array should M and any sub-array of size greater than K cannot have all elements the same. we have to print the maximum sum possible by the created array.Let’s take an example to understand the problemInput − arr[] = {1, 2, 4, 5, 7 }, M = 5, K = 2Explanation − array created that satisfies the condition {7, 7, 5, 7, 7}. Here, no sub-array with size ...

Suppose we have the string s to be the infinite wraparound string of "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", so the value s will look like this − "...zabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcd....".Now we have another string p. Our job is to find out how many unique non-empty substrings of p are present in s. In particular, our input is the string p and we need to output the number of different non-empty substrings of p in the string s.So if the input is like “zab” the output will be 6. There are 6 substrings “z”, “a”, “b”, “za”, “ab”, “zab” of the string “zab” in the string sTo ...

Suppose we have an array of prices P [p1, p2..., pn] and a target value, we have to round each price Pi to Roundi(Pi) so that the rounded array [Round1(P1), Round2(P2)..., Roundn(Pn)] sums to the given target value. Here each operation Roundi(pi) could be either Floor(Pi) or Ceil(Pi).We have to return the string "-1" if the rounded array is impossible to sum to target. Otherwise, return the smallest rounding error, which will be (as a string with three places after the decimal) defined as −$\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i-1}^n |Round_{i} (???? ) - ????$So if the input is like [“0.700”, “2.800”, “4.900”], and the ...

Suppose on a single threaded CPU, we execute some functions. Now each function has a unique id between 0 and N-1. We will store logs in timestamp order that describe when a function is entered or exited.Here each log is a string written this format: "{function_id}:{"start" | "end"}:{timestamp}". For example, if the string is like "0:start:3" this means that the function with id 0 started at the beginning of timestamp 3. "1:end:2" means the function with id 1 ended at the end of timestamp 2. A function's exclusive time is the number of units of time spent in this function.So ...

Suppose we have a circular array C of integers represented by A, we have to find the maximum possible sum of a non-empty subarray of C. Also, a subarray may only include each element of the fixed buffer A at most once. If the array is like [1, -2, 3, -2], then the output will be 3. This is because subarray[3] has maximum sum 3.To solve this, we will follow these steps −n := size of vcreate arrays leftSum, leftSumMax, rightSum, rightSumMax all of size nleftSum[0] := v[0], leftSumMax[0] := maximum of 0 and v[0]for i in range 1 to ...
