C++ program to Adding elements of an array until every element becomes greater than or equal to k
We have array of unsorted element i.e. arr[] and have an integer K, and we have to find the minimum number of steps needed in which the elements of the array will be added to make all the elements greater than or equal to K. We can add two elements of array and make them one.Example, Input: arr[] = {1 10 12 9 2 3}, K = 6 Output: 2ExplanationFirst we can add (1 + 2), so the new array is 3 10 12 9 3, we can add (3 + 3), So the new array is 6 10 12 ...
Read MoreHow to access a derived class member variable by an interface object in Java?
When you try to hold the super class’s reference variable with a sub class object, using this object you can access the members of the super class only, if you try to access the members of the derived class using this reference you will get a compile time error.Exampleinterface Sample { void demoMethod1(); } public class InterfaceExample implements Sample { public void display() { System.out.println("This ia a method of the sub class"); } public void demoMethod1() { System.out.println("This is demo method-1"); } public static void main(String args[]) { ...
Read MoreMeta Strings (Check if two strings can become same after a swap in one string) in C++
In this section, we will see how to check whether two strings are meta string or not. The meta strings are those strings that are very much similar. If we swap two elements in one string, then it will be matched with other string. Suppose two strings are “HELLO” and “OELLH”, then they are meta strings.To check whether two strings are meta string or not, we have to follow these steps.Steps −If both strings are of different length, then return falseElse find a number of characters, that have not matched, also store the index of non-matched charactersIf the count is ...
Read MoreWhat is the difference between getter/setter methods and constructor in Java?
ConstructorsA constructor in Java is similar to method and it is invoked at the time creating an object of the class, it is generally used to initialize the instance variables of a class. The constructors have the same name as their class and, have no return type.If you do not provide a constructor the compiler defines one on your behalf, which initializes the instance variables with default values.You can also accept parameters through constructors and initialize the instance variables of a class using the given values, these are known as parameterized constructors.ExampleThe following Java program has a class named student ...
Read MoreMinimize Cost with Replacement with other allowed in C++
Suppose we have an array with N elements. We have to remove element from the array by following the given operations. The operation is like, we have to choose any two numbers of the array, and remove larger. Cost including in this operation is the same as the smaller number. We have to delete only one element at a time, based on this operation, and perform the task in minimum cost. Suppose the array has {4, 2, 5}. I take 4 and 2, remove 4 by paying cost 2, then we remove 5 again with cost 2.The approach is too ...
Read MoreWhy subclass doesn't inherit the private instance variables of superclass in Java?
When you declare the instance variables of a class private, you cannot access them in another class if you try to do so a compile-time error will be generated.But, if you inherit a class that has private fields, including all other members of the class the private variables are also inherited and available for the subclass.But, you cannot access them directly, if you do so a compile-time error will be generated.Exampleclass Person{ private String name; public Person(String name){ this.name = name; } public void displayPerson() { System.out.println("Data of the Person ...
Read MoreWhy should a blank final variable be explicitly initialized in all Java constructors?
A final variable which is left without initialization is known as blank final variable.Generally, we initialize instance variables in the constructor. If we miss out they will be initialized by the constructors by default values. But, the final blank variables will not be initialized with default values. So if you try to use a blank final variable without initializing in the constructor, a compile time error will be generated.Examplepublic class Student { public final String name; public void display() { System.out.println("Name of the Student: "+this.name); } public static void main(String args[]) { ...
Read MoreWhy Java wouldn't allow initialization of static final variable in a constructor?
If you declare a variable static and final you need to initialize it either at declaration or, in the static block. If you try to initialize it in the constructor, the compiler assumes that you are trying to reassign value to it and generates a compile time error −Exampleclass Data { static final int num; Data(int i) { num = i; } } public class ConstantsExample { public static void main(String args[]) { System.out.println("value of the constant: "+Data.num); } }Compile time errorConstantsExample.java:4: error: cannot assign a value to final ...
Read MoreMinimum LCM and GCD possible among all possible sub-arrays in C++
Suppose we have an array arr of size N. it has N positive numbers. We have to find the minimum elements of all possible subarray. Suppose the array is {2, 66, 14, 521}, then minimum LCM is 2, and GCD is 1.We will solve this problem using a greedy approach. If we decrease the number of elements, then LCM will be less, and if we increase the array size, GCD will be less. We need to find the smallest element from the array, which is a single element, which will be required LCM. For GCD, GCD will be GCD of ...
Read MoreCan a final keyword alone be used to define a constant in Java?
A constant variable is the one whose value is fixed and only one copy of it exists in the program. Once you declare a constant variable and assign value to it, you cannot change its value again throughout the program.Unlike other languages java does not support constants directly. But, you can still create a constant by declaring a variable static and final.Static − Once you declare a variable static they will be loaded into the memory at the compile time i.e. only one copy of them is available.Final − once you declare a variable final you cannot modify its value ...
