You can find whether a String contains a specified sequence of characters using any of the methods −The indexOf() method − The indexOf() method of the String class accepts a string value and finds the (starting) index of it in the current String and returns it. This method returns -1 if it doesn’t find the given string in the current one.The contains() method − The contains a () method of the String class accepts a sequence of characters value and verifies whether it exists in the current String. If found it returns true else it returns false.In addition to these, you ...

Here we will see how to find the LCM of Rational numbers. We have a list of rational numbers. Suppose the list is like {2/7, 3/14, 5/3}, then the LCM will be 30/1.To solve this problem, we have to calculate LCM of all numerators, then gcd of all denominators, then the LCM of rational numbers, will be like −$$LCM =\frac{LCM\:of\:all\:𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠}{GCD\:of\:all\:𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠}$$Example#include #include #include using namespace std; int LCM(int a, int b) {    return (a * b) / (__gcd(a, b)); } int numeratorLCM(vector vect) {    int result = vect[0].first;    for (int i = 1; i < ...

The String class of the java.lang package represents a set of characters. All string literals in Java programs, such as "abc", are implemented as instances of this class. Strings objects are immutable, once you create a String object you cannot change their values, if you try to do so instead of changing the value a new object is created with the required value and the reference shifts to the newly created one leaving the previous object unused.The StringBuffer (and StringBuilder) class is used when there is a necessity to make a lot of modifications to a String.Unlike Strings, objects of ...

Here we will see a program, that can find nth term of the Dragon Curve sequence. The Dragon curve sequence is an infinite binary sequence. It starts with 1, and in each step, it alternatively adds 1s and 0s before and after each element of the previous term, to form the next term.Term 1 : 1Term 2 : 110Term 3 : 1101100Term 4 : 110110011100100We will start with 1, then add 1 and 0, alternatively after each element of the preceding term. When the new term obtained becomes the current term, then repeat the steps from 1 to n to ...

Suppose one array A is given. We have to find a number of surpasser of each element in that array. The surpassers are greater elements which are present at the right side of the array of the current element. Suppose A = {2, 7, 5, 3, 0, 8, 1}, the surpassers are {4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 0, 0}, so 2 has 4 numbers at right side, which are greater than 4, and the same rule for others. The solution is very simple, two nested loops will be there, for each element, it will count surpassers, then store them into ...

The Breadth First Search (BFS) traversal is an algorithm, which is used to visit all of the nodes of a given graph. In this traversal algorithm one node is selected and then all of the adjacent nodes are visited one by one. After completing all of the adjacent vertices, it moves further to check another vertices and checks its adjacent vertices again.In The competitive coding, we have to solve problems very quickly. We will use the STL (Standard Library of C++) to implement this algorithm, we need to use the Queue data structure. All the adjacent vertices are added into ...

In multithreading when we deal with threads there comes the requirement of pause and start a thread for this Threading provides two methods wait and join which are used for the same.The following are the important differences between wait() and join().Sr. No.Keywait()join()1Declarationwait() method is defined in Object class and hence the wait() method is declared in java.lang package.join() method, on the other hand, is also defined in java.lang package but in Thread class.2Usagewait() method is primarily used for the inter-thread communication.On the other hand join() is used for adding sequencing between multiple threads, one thread starts execution after first thread ...

Suppose we have a number A, and LCM and GCD values, we have to find another number B. If A = 5, LCM is 25, HCF = 4, then another number will be 4. We know that −$$𝐴∗𝐵=𝐿𝐶𝑀∗𝐻𝐶𝐹$$$$𝐵= \frac{LCM*HCF}{A}$$Example#include using namespace std; int anotherNumber(int A, int LCM, int GCD) {    return (LCM * GCD) / A; } int main() {    int A = 5, LCM = 25, GCD = 4;    cout

We have a string with three colors (G, B, Y). We have to find the resulting color based on these relations −B * G = YY * B = GG * Y = BSuppose the string is “GBYGB” is B. If the string is “BYB”, then it will be Y.The approach is simple; we will take the string. Compare each alphabet with adjacent characters, using the given condition, find the color.Example#include using namespace std; char combination(string s) {    char color = s[0];    for (int i = 1; i < s.length(); i++) {       if (color ...

We have the sum and gcd of two numbers a and b. We have to find both numbers a and b. If that is not possible, return -1. Suppose the sum is 6 and gcd is 2, then the numbers are 4 and 2.The approach is like, as the GCD is given, then it is known that the numbers will be multiples of it. Now there following stepsIf we choose the first number as GCD, then the second one will be sum − GCDIf the sum of the numbers is chosen in the previous step is the same as the ...
