Suppose we have two numbers c and d. Amal has two numbers a and b initially both are zero. Amal wants to perform some operation on them. Before performing each operation, some positive integer k is picked, which is then used to perform one of the following operations −add number k to both a and b, oradd number k to a and subtract k from b, oradd number k to b and subtract k from a.We have to find the minimum number of operations needed to make a and b equal to c and d respectively. If not possible, return ...

Suppose we have a string S with n digits. A number with exactly 11 digits is a telephone number if it starts with '8'. In one operation, we can remove one digit from S. We have to check whether we can make the string a valid phone number or not.So, if the input is like S = "5818005553985", then the output will be True, because we can make the string "8005553985" with 11 characters and first digit is 8.StepsTo solve this, we will follow these steps −m := size of S insert '8' at the end of S if if location of 8

Suppose we have an array A with n elements and another list of queries Q with q queries. each Query[i] contains a pair (x, k). When we process a query, for x: decrease the value of A[x] by 1. For k, print kth largest element. Initially all elements in A is either 0 or 1.So, if the input is like A = [1, 1, 0, 1, 0]; Q = [[2, 3], [1, 2], [2, 3], [2, 1], [2, 5]], then the output will be [1, 1, 1, 0]StepsTo solve this, we will follow these steps −n := size of A ...

Suppose we have two numbers l and r. There is a shop and we want to sell some food container with 'a' number of foods with a discount, and some customer wants to buy x foods. The customer following a greedy strategy −He buys floor of (x/a) packs with discountThen wants to buy remaining (x mod a) foods one by one.But the customer is greedy, so if he wants to buy (x mod a) foods one by one and it happens that (x mod a) ≥ a/2, so he decides to buy the whole pack of a foods. A customer ...

Suppose we have an array A with n elements and another number k. There are n piles of candies. The ith pile has A[i] number of candies. We can perform the operation on two indices i and j (i != j), then add another A[i] number of candies to A[i] (A[i] will not be reduced). We can perform this operation any number of times, but unfortunately if some pile contains strictly more than k candies we cannot perform the operation anymore. We have to find the maximum number of times we can perform this operation.So, if the input is like ...

Suppose we have a string S of length . Consider there are n numbers and they are arranged in a circle. We do not know the values of these numbers but if S[i] = 'E' it indicates ith and (i+1)th numbers are same, but if that is 'N' then they are different. From S we have to check whether we can recreate the sequence or not.So, if the input is like S = "ENNEENE", then the output will be True, because we can assign values like [15, 15, 4, 20, 20, 20, 15].StepsTo solve this, we will follow these steps ...

Suppose we have a number n. We have to find two composite integers (non-prime) a and b, such that a - b = n.So, if the input is like n = 512, then the output will be 4608 and 4096StepsTo solve this, we will follow these steps −print 10*n and 9*n.ExampleLet us see the following implementation to get better understanding −#include using namespace std; void solve(int n){    cout

Suppose we have an array A with n elements and a number m. There are n students giving an exam. The highest possible score is m. A[i] is the score of ith student. We can manipulate each students score, but the conditions must be satisfied. The score will not exceed m, all scores are integers and the average marks of all student does not change. If we want to maximize the first person's score what will be the highest possible score we can give.So, if the input is like A = [1, 2, 3, 4]; m = 10, then the ...

Suppose, we are given a rotary dial that contains all lowercase English alphabets. There is a printer attached to the dial and whichever character resides in the pointer of the rotary dial for 3 seconds, gets printed. The rotary dial initially stays at the letter 'a' and it does not reset to the initial position whenever it prints a character. We are given a string s and we have to print the given string. Whenever we move the dial to another letter, one amount of rotation takes place. We have to find out the total amount of rotations needed to ...
