If we have two integers A and B, and B >= A, we have to compute the last digit of the B! / A! When the value of A = 2 and B = 4, then result is 2, 2! = 2 and 4! = 24, so 24/2 = 12. the last digit is 2.As we know that the last digit of factorial will be in set {0, 1, 2, 4, 6}, then follow these steps to solve this problem −We will find the difference between A and Bif diff >=5, then answer is 0otherwise, iterate from (A + 1) ...

Problem statementGiven an array of integers, a number and a maximum value, the task is to compute the maximum value that can be obtained from the array elements. Every value on the array traversing from the beginning can be either added to or subtracted from the result obtained from the previous index such that at any point the result is not less than 0 and not greater than the given maximum value. For index 0 take the previous result equal to the given number. In case of no possible answer print -1.If arr[] = {3, 10, 6, 4, 5}, number ...

Suppose we have one ‘head’ which is a reference node to a singly-linked list. The value of each node present in the linked list is either 0 or 1. This linked list stores the binary representation of a number. We have to return the decimal value of the number present in the linked list. So if the list is like [1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1]To solve this, we will follow these steps −x := convert the list elements into an arraythen reverse the list xans := 0, and temp := 1for i in range i := 0, to size ...

Problem statementGiven an array of size n and a number k. We have to modify an array k number of times.Modify array means in each operation we can replace any array element arr[i] by negating it i.e. arr[i] = -arr[i]. The task is to perform this operation in such a way that after k operations, the sum of an array must be maximum.If input arr[] = {7, -3, 5, 4, -1} then maximum sum will be 20First negate -3. Now array becomes {7, 3, 5, 4, -1}Negate -1. Now array becomes {7, 3, 5, 4, 1}Algorithm1. Replace the minimum element ...

Problem statementGiven two arrays with size n, maximize the first array by using the elements from the second array such that the new array formed contains n greatest but unique elements of both the arrays giving the second array priority i.e. all elements of the second array appear before the first array. The order of appearance of elements should be kept the same in output as in inputIf arr1[] = {12, 15, 10} and arr2[] = {16, 17, 5} then {16, 17, 15} are the maximum elements from both array by maintaining order.Algorithm1. Create temporary array of size 2 * ...

Problem statementGiven a string comprising of ones and zeros. The task is to find the maximum length of the segments of string such that a number of 1 in each segment is greater than 0ExampleIf input string is “10111000001011” the answer will 12 as follows −First segment is of length 7 10111000001011Second segment is of length 5 10111000001011Total length is length of (segment 1 + segment 2) = (7 + 5) = 12AlgorithmIf start == n then return 0.Run a loop from start till n, computing for each subarray till n.If character is 1 then increment the count of 1 ...

Problem statementGiven a binary array, find the maximum number of zeros in an array with one flip of a subarray allowed. A flip operation switches all 0s to 1s and 1s to 0sIf arr1= {1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}If we flip first 2 1’s to 0’s, then we can get subarray of size 7 as follows −{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}Algorithm1. Consider all subarrays and find a subarray with maximum value of (count of 1s) – (count of 0s) 2. Considers this value be maxDiff. Finally return count of zeros in original array + maxDiff.Example#include ...

This article is intended to print a half-pyramid pattern bash using the C++ programming language. In the view of the stipulated pattern to be printed, the following algorithm is being orchestrated to achieve our goal as;AlgorithmStep-1 Set the length of the Bash (Height) Step-2 Outer loop to handle the number of rows Step-3 Inner loop to handle columns Step-4 Print the pattern with the character (@) Step-5 Set the pointer to a new line after each row (outside the inner loop) Step-6 Repeat the loop till the Bash HeightExampleSo, the following C++ source code is ultimately carved out by complying ...

Suppose we have two values a and b. We have to find x and y, such that ax – by = 0. So if a = 25 and b = 35, then x = 7 and y = 5.To solve this, we have to calculate the LCM of a and b. LCM of a and b will be the smallest value that can make both sides equal. The LCM can be found using GCD of numbers using this formula −LCM (a,b)=(a*b)/GCD(a,b)Example#include #include using namespace std; void getSmallestXY(int a, int b) {    int lcm = (a * b) / __gcd(a, b);    cout

Problem statementGiven an array of N integers. The bitwise OR of all the elements of the array has to be maximized by performing one task. The task is to multiply any element of the array at-most k times with a given integer xIf input array is {4, 3, 6, 1}, k = 2 and x = 3 then maximum value can be obtained is 55Algorithm1. multiply an array element with (x^k) and do bitwise OR it with the bitwise OR of all previous elements 2. Multiply an array element with bitwise OR of all next elements 3. Return the maximum ...
