The Selection Sort algorithm sorts an exhibit by more than once finding the base component from the unsorted part and putting it toward the start. In each emphasis of determination sort, the base component from the unsorted subarray is picked and moved to the arranged subarray.Example#include #include using namespace std; #define MAX_LEN 50 void selectionSort(char arr[][50], int n){    int i, j, mIndex;    // Move boundary of unsorted subarray one by one    char minStr[50];    for (i = 0; i < n-1; i++){       // Determine minimum element in unsorted array       ...

Suppose we have three stacks of positive numbers. We have to find the possible equal maximum sum of stacks with removal of top elements allowed. The stacks are represented as an array. The first index of the array represents the top element of the stack. Suppose the stack elements are like [3, 10], [4, 5] and [2, 1]. The output will be 0. The sum can only be equal after removing all elements from all stacks.To solve this, we will follow this idea. The idea is to compare the sum of each stack, if they are not equal, then remove ...

We are given two vectors let’s say vector A and vector B containing x, y, and directions, and the task is to find the cross product and dot product of the two given vector arrays.What is a vector?In mathematics, a quantity that has a magnitude and a direction is known as a vector whereas a quantity that has only one value as magnitude is known as a scalar. The point from where the vector starts is known as the initial point and the point where the vector ends is known as the terminal point. The distance between the initial point ...

Suppose we have two arrays X and Y of positive integers. Find the number of pairs such that x^y > y^x, where x is an element of X and y is an element of Y. Suppose the X = [2, 1, 6], and Y = [1, 5], then output will be 3. As there are three pairs, these are (2, 1), (2, 5) and (6, 1)We can solve this in an efficient way. The logic is simple, it will be when y > x then x^y > y^x with some exceptions. So this is the trick.Sort the array Yfor each ...

Problem statementGiven an unsigned number, find the minimum number that could be formed by using the bits of the given unsigned number.ExampleIf input = 10 then answer would be 3Binary representation of 10 is 1010 and minimum number with 2 set bits is 0011 i.e. 3Algorithm1. Count the number of set bits. 2. (Number of set bits) ^ 2 – 1 represents the minimized number)Example#include using namespace std; int getSetBits(int n) {    int cnt = 0;    while (n) {       ++cnt;       n = n & (n - 1);    }    return cnt; } int getMinNumber(int n){    int bits = getSetBits(n);    return pow(2, bits) - 1; } int main() {    int n = 10;    cout

Suppose we have a string. We have to find the balancing position count in that string from where left and right part of the string contains same characters. The frequency of characters does not matter. So if the string is “ABAABA”, then the number of balancing positions is 3. These positions are AB|AABA, ABA|ABA, ABAA|BA.To solve this, we will follow some efficient approach. After traversing the string we first feel right[] with counts of all characters. Then traverse the string from left to right. For every character we increment its count in left[] and decrement the count in right. For ...

Problem statementGiven an array of N distinct elements, find the minimum number of swaps required to sort the arrayExampleIf array is {4, 2, 1, 3} then 2 swaps are requiredSwap arr[0] with arr[2]Swap arr[2] with arr[3}Algorithm1. Create a vector of pair in C++ with first element as array alues and second element as array indices. 2. Sort the vector of pair according to the first element of the pairs. 3. Traverse the vector and check if the index mapped with the value is correct or not, if not then keep swapping until the element is placed correctly and keep counting ...

Here we will see how to design timer in C++ using a system call. We will not use any graphics or animations. Here timer means the stopwatch, that is up-counting the time. The used system calls are −sleep(n) − This will help the program to sleep for n number of secondssystem() − This is used to execute the system command by passing command as an argument to this function.Example#include #include #include #include using namespace std; int hrs = 0; int mins = 0; int sec = 0; void showClk() {    system("cls");    cout

Updated on 11-Mar-2026 236 Views

Problem statementThere are many points in two-dimensional space which need to be visited in a specific sequence.Path from one point to other is always chosen as shortest path and path segments are always aligned with grid lines.We are given the path which is chosen for visiting the points. We need to tell the minimum number of points that must be needed to generate given paths.Algorithm1. We can solve this problem by observing the pattern of movement when visiting the stop 2. If we want to take the shortest path from one point to another point, then we will move in ...
