Ugly numbers are those numbers whose prime factors are 2, 3 or 5. From 1 to 15, there are 11 ugly numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15. The numbers 7, 11, 13 are not ugly because they are prime. The number 14 is not ugly because in its prime factor the 7 will come. So suppose we want to check the 10th ugly number. The value will be 12.Let us see the following algorithm to get an idea −AlgorithmgetUglyNumbers(n)Input − The number of terms.Output − Find nth Ugly numbers.Begin    define array named uglyNum ...

Problem statementGiven an array of N integers, rearrange the array elements such that the next array element is greater than the previous element arr[i+1] > arr[i]ExampleIf input array is {300, 400, 400, 300} then rearranged array will be −{300, 400, 300, 400}. In this solution we get 2 indices with condition arr[i+1] > arr[i]. Hence answer is 2.AlgorithmIf all elements are distinct, then answer is simply n-1 where n is the number of elements in the arrayIf there are repeating elements, then answer is n – maxFrequencyExampleLet us now see an example −#include #define MAX 1000 using namespace std; ...

Problem statementGiven two arrays of equal size N, form maximum number of pairs by using their elements, one from the first array and second from the second array, such that an element from each array is used at-most once and the absolute difference between the selected elements used for forming a pair is less than or equal to a given element K.ExampleIf input is −arr1[] = {3, 4, 5, 2, 1}arr2[] = {6, 5, 4, 7, 15}and k = 3 then we can form following 4 pairs whose absolute difference is less than or equal to 3 −(1, 4), (2, ...

Suppose we have an array A. We have to replace every element by the greatest element on the right side of this element. And replace the last one by -1. So if A = [5, 17, 40, 6, 3, 8, 2], then it will be [40,40,8,8,8,2,-1]To solve this, we will follow these steps −We will read the array element from right to left.take e := -1for i := n – 1 to 0temp := ee := max between e and array[i]array[i] := tempreturn arrayExampleLet us see the following implementation to get better understanding −#include using namespace std; void print_vector(vector v){    cout

Problem statementGiven a minimum heap find maximum element in that.ExampleIf input heap is −Then maximum element is 55AlgorithmIn minimum heap parent node will be lesser than its children. Hence we can conclude that a non-leaf node cannot be the maximum.Search maximum element in the leaf nodesExampleLet us now see an example −#include using namespace std; int getMaxElement(int *heap, int n) {    int maxVal = heap[n / 2];    for (int i = n / 2 + 1; i < n; ++i) {       maxVal = max(maxVal, heap[i]);    }    return maxVal; } int main() {    int heap[] = {15, 27, 22, 35, 29, 55, 48}; int n = sizeof(heap) / sizeof(heap[0]);    cout

Suppose we have an array of integers. We have to find the sum of the elements present from index i to j. Two things we have to keep in mind that the array will be immutable, so elements will not be altered, and there will be multiple such queries. So we have to care about the execution time for a large number of queries. Suppose the array is like A = [5, 8, 3, 6, 1, 2, 5], then if query is (A, 0, 3), then it will be 5 + 8 + 3 + 6 = 22.To solve this, ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to convert an array into zig-zag fashion.For this we will be provided with an array containing distinct elements. Our task is to rearrange the elements of the given array in a zig zag fashion with greater and smaller elements alternatively as compared to the previous element.Example#include using namespace std; //converting into zig-zag fashion void convert_zigzag(int arr[], int n) {    //flag denotes the greater or smaller relation    bool flag = true;    for (int i=0; i arr[i+1])          swap(arr[i], arr[i+1]);       } else { ...

Suppose we have an integer n. We have to return any array that contains n unique integers, such that they add up to 0. So if input is n = 5, then one possible output will be [-7, -1, 1, 3, 4]To solve this, we will follow these steps −take an array A as final answer, and take x := 0for i in range 0 to n – 2A[i] = (i + 1)x := x + i + 1A[n – 1] = xreturn AExampleLet us see the following implementation to get better understanding −#include using namespace std; void print_vector(vector v){    cout

Given an array arr[n], containing n number of integers and an integer k for defining the size; the task is to print the product of all the subsequences of size k except the minimum and maximum elements.Let us assume we have a set of 4 elements {1, 2, 3, 4} and k as 2 so its subsets will be − {1, 2}, {2, 3}, {3, 4}, {1, 4}, {1, 3}, {2, 4}So excluding the maximum element 4, and minimum element 1, the remaining elements will be −2, 3, 3, 3, 2, product of which will be −2 * 3 * ...

Problem statementGiven a number n, the task is to find the maximum 0’s between two immediate 1’s in binary representation of given n. Return -1 if binary representation contains less than two 1’sExampleIf input number is 35 then its binary representation is −00100011In above binary representation there are 3 0’s between two immediate 1’s. Hence answer is 3.AlgorithmWe can use bitwise shift operator to solve this problem. We need to find the position of two immediate 1’s in binary representation of n and maximize the difference of these position.If number is 0 or power of 2 then return -1IInitialize variable ...
