Suppose we have a number n. We shall have to check whether n is weird or not. Here a number is weird when − 1. The number is odd 2. The number is not in range 2 to 5 3. The number is even and in range 6 to 20So, if the input is like n = 18, then the output will be Weird because it is even and in range 6 to 20.To solve this, we will follow these steps −if n is odd, thenreturn "Weird"otherwise when (n > 1 and n < 6) or n > 20, thenreturn ...

Suppose we have two integer arrays, src and tgt, both are of same length. We also have an array allowedSwaps where allowedSwaps[i] contains a pair (ai, bi) indicates that we can swap the elements at index ai with element index bi of the array src. (We can swap elements at a specific pair of indices as many times as we want in any order). As we know the Hamming distance of two arrays of the same length, src and tgt, is the number of positions where the elements are different. We have to find the minimum Hamming distance of src ...

Suppose we have a list L and another value k. We have to swap kth node from start and kth node from end and return the final list at end.So, if the input is like L = [1, 5, 6, 7, 1, 6, 3, 9, 12] k = 3, then the output will be [1, 5, 3, 7, 1, 6, 6, 9, 12], the 3rd node from start is 6 and from end is 3, so they are swapped.To solve this, we will follow these steps −temp := Lfor i in range 0 to k-2, dotemp := next of tempfirstNode ...

Suppose there is a sensor module that can monitor its nearby environment up to a radius of r. There are some things in the lattice point of the module's monitoring circle that needs to be monitored. So, k number of low-powered modules are placed so that they can monitor only those specific points. Given the square of the radius and k number of low-powered modules, we shall have to find out if the points can be monitored correctly. We return true if monitoring is possible, otherwise, we return false.So, if the input is like square of radius (j) = 4, ... Read More

Suppose we have a number n, we have to find a sequence that satisfies all of the following rules −1 occurs once in the sequence.Each number in between 2 and n occurs twice in the sequence.For every i in range 2 to n, the distance between the two occurrences of i is exactly i.The distance between two numbers on the sequence, a[i] and a[j], is |j - i|. We have to find the lexicographically largest sequence.So, if the input is like n = 4, then the output will be [4, 2, 3, 2, 4, 3, 1]To solve this, we will ... Read More

Suppose we have an array of few elements. We shall have to find the maximum weighted sum if the array elements are rotated. The weighted sum of an array nums can be calculated like below −$$\mathrm{𝑆=\sum_{\substack{𝑖=1}}^{n}𝑖∗𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑠[𝑖]}$$So, if the input is like L = [5, 3, 4], then the output will be 26 becausearray is [5, 3, 4], sum is 5 + 2*3 + 3*4 = 5 + 6 + 12 = 23array is [3, 4, 5], sum is 3 + 2*4 + 3*5 = 3 + 8 + 15 = 26 (maximum)array is [4, 5, 3], sum is 4 + ...

Suppose there are n number of cities and the cities are connected with two types of roads; highways and shortcuts. Now, there is a map and only the highways are present on the map and all the shortcuts are absent. The transport division of the cities wants to launch a transport that connects the cities utilizing the highways and the shortcuts. We know there is a shortcut between the two cities when there is no highway between them. Our task here is to find the minimum distances in terms of shortcuts from a starting city to all other cities.So, if ... Read More

Suppose we have a string s and two values x and y. We can perform given two types of operations any number of times.Search substring "ab", if present, then we can gain x points by removing it.Search substring "ba", if present, then we can gain y points by removing it.We have to find maximum points we can gain after applying the above operations on s.So, if the input is like s = "cbbaacdeabb" x = 4 y = 5, then the output will be 14 because initial string is "cbbaacdeabb", then remove "cbbaacde(ab)b" to get 4, now string is "cbbaacdeb", ...

Suppose there is a weighted graph with n vertices and m edges. The edges have the weights in powers of 2. Any vertex can be reached from any vertex in the graph, and the cost of travel will be the addition of all the edge weights in the graph. We shall have to determine the sum of minimum cost between each pair of vertices.So, if the input is likeand number of vertices (n) = 6; then the output will be 2696.The sum of all the distances is 2696.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function par_finder() . ...
