Suppose we have two integers N and M. We have to find minimum number of steps to reach M from N, by performing given operations −Multiply the number x by 2, so x will be 2*xSubtract one from the number x, so the number will be x – 1If N = 4 and M = 6, then output will be 2. So if we perform operation number 2 on N, then N becomes 3, then perform operation number one on updated value of N, so it becomes 2 * 3 = 6. So the minimum number of steps will be ...

Suppose we have a number N, and unlimited number of coins worth 1, 10 and 25 currency coins. Find minimum number of coins we need to use to pay exactly amount N. Suppose N is 14, then number of coins will be 5, as one 10 value coin and four 1 value coin.To solve this, we have to use these steps −If N < 10, then return N number of 1 value coinsIf N > 9 and N < 25, then divide the value with 10, and get the result, the remaining will be covered using 1 value coin, add ...

Here we will see how to get the Harmonic mean using the arithmetic mean and the geometric mean. The formula for these three means are like below −Arithmetic Mean − (a + b)/2Geometric Mean − $$\sqrt{\lgroup a*b\rgroup}$$Harmonic Mean − 2ab/(a+b)The Harmonic Mean can be expressed using arithmetic mean and geometric mean using this formula −$$HM=\frac{GM^{2}}{AM}$$Example#include #include using namespace std; double getHarmonicMean(int a, int b) {    double AM, GM, HM;    AM = (a + b) / 2;    GM = sqrt(a * b);    HM = (GM * GM) / AM;    return HM; } int main() ...

Suppose we have the first element of AP, and the differenced. We have to check whether the given number n is a part of AP or not. If the first term is a = 1, differenced = 3, and the term x = 7 will be checked. The answer is yes.To solve this problem, we will follow these steps −If d is 0, and a = x, then return true, otherwise false.Otherwise, if d is not 0, then if x belongs to the sequence x = a + n * d, where n is a non-negative integer, only if (n ...

We know that a rectangle can be represented using two coordinates, the top left corner, and the bottom right corner. Suppose there are two rectangles, we have to check whether these two overlap or not. There are four coordinate points (l1, r1) and (l2, r2).l1 is the top-left corner of first rectangler1 is the bottom-right corner of the first rectanglel2 is the top-left corner of second rectangler2 is the bottom-right corner of the second rectangleWe have assumed that the rectangles are parallel to the coordinate axes. To solve this, we have to check a few conditions.One rectangle is above the ...

Suppose we have three integers, a, b and x. The task is to get the multiple of x, which is closest to ab. So if a = 5, b = 4 and x = 3, then output will be 624. As 54 = 625, and 624 is the multiple of 3, which is closest to 625.The task is simple. we have to follow these steps to solve this problem −calculate num := abThen find f := floor of (num/x)Now the closest element at the left will be cl = x * f, and at right will be cr = x ...

Consider we have an element x, we have to find the largest prime factor of x. If the value of x is 6,  then-largest prime factor is 3. To solve this problem, we will just factorize the number by dividing it with the divisor of a number and keep track of the maximum prime factor.Example#include #include using namespace std; long long getMaxPrimefactor(long long n) {    long long maxPF = -1;    while (n % 2 == 0) {       maxPF = 2;       n /= 2;    }    for (int i = 3; i 2)    maxPF = n;    return maxPF; } int main() {    long long n = 162378;    cout

Suppose we have a number n, and we have to find the permutation of this number, that is divisible by 3, but not divisible by 6. If no such value can be made, then return -1. For example, if n is 336, then the output can be 363.As we know a number is divisible by 6 means it is divisible by 3 and 2. So each even number that is divisible by 3, will be divisible by 6. If we interchange the digits of a number which is divisible by 3 and also even, to make it odd, it will ...

Interactive Mode ProgrammingYou can use Perl interpreter with -e option at the command line, which lets you execute Perl statements from the command line. Let's try something at $ prompt as follows −$perl -e 'print "Hello World"'This execution will produce the following result −Hello, worldScript Mode ProgrammingAssuming you are already on $ prompt, let's open a text file hello.pl using vi or vim editor and put the following lines inside your file.Example#!/usr/bin/perl # This will print "Hello, World" print "Hello, world";Here /usr/bin/perl is actual the Perl interpreter binary.
