Suppose we have an array nums with few duplicate elements and some unique elements. We have to find the sum of all the unique elements present in nums.So, if the input is like nums = [5, 2, 1, 5, 3, 1, 3, 8], then the output will be 10 because only unique elements are 8 and 2, so their sum is 10.To solve this, we will follow these steps −count := a dictionary holding all unique elements and their frequencyans := 0for each index i and value v in nums, doif count[v] is same as 1, thenans := ans + ...

Suppose we have a ball factory where we have n balls numbered from l to r (both inclusive) and have an infinite number of boxes numbered from 1 to infinity. So if we put each ball in the box with a number same to the sum of digits of the ball's number. (As an example, the ball number 123 will be put in the box number 1 + 2 + 3 = 6). So if we have two values l and r, we have to find the number of balls in the box with the most balls.So, if the input ... Read More

Suppose we have a string s represents time in the form of hh:mm. Some of the digits in s are hidden (represented by ?). Considering 24hr clock, the valid times are between 00:00 and 23:59. We have to find the latest valid time that we can get from time by replacing the hidden digits.So, if the input is like s= "1?:?5", then the output will be 13:55 as the latest hour beginning with the digit '2' is 23 and the latest minute ending with the digit '0' is 50.To solve this, we will follow these steps −ans := a new ...

Suppose there is a biker who is going on a road trip. There are n different points in his road trip at different altitudes. The biker starts his trip from point 0 with altitude 0. If we have a sequence called gain with n elements, gain[i] is the net gain in altitude between points i and i + 1 for all (0

Suppose we have a hidden array arr with n non-negative integers. Now this array is encoded into another array enc of length n-1. So here enc[i] = arr[i] XOR arr[i+1]. If we have the encoded enc array and an integer first, that is the first element of actual array, we have to find the original array.So, if the input is like enc = [8, 3, 2, 7], first = 4, then the output will be [4, 12, 15, 13, 10].To solve this, we will follow these steps −arr := an array with only one element firstfor i in range 0 ...

Suppose you put 1Rs in a bank on first day say Monday. And every day from next day, Tuesday to Sunday, you put in 1Rs more than the day before. And on every subsequent Monday, you will put in 1Rs more than the previous Monday. If we have a number n, we have to find the total amount of money you will have in the bank at the end of the nth day.So, if the input is like n = 17, then the output will be 75 because, put 1Rs on Monday, 2Rs on Tuesday and so on, so 7Rs ...

Suppose we have a set of boxes represented as a 2D array called boxTypes, where boxTypes[i] contains two elements [number of boxes of type i, number of units per box of type i]. Now we also have another value k, which is the maximum number of boxes that can be put on that truck. We can select any boxes to put on the truck as long as the number of boxes does not cross k. We have to find the maximum total number of units that can be put on the truck.So, if the input is like boxTypes = [[2, ... Read More

Suppose we have a string s whose length is even. We have to split this string into two different halves of same lengths. So consider 'a' is the first half and 'b' is the second half. We say two strings are alike when they have the same number of vowels (uppercase or lowercase). We have to check whether 'a' and 'b' are alike or not.So, if the input is like s = "talent", then the output will be True because two halves are "tal" and "ent", they are alike because they have only one vowel and two consonants.To solve this, ...

Suppose we have a phone number as string. The phone number number consists of digits, spaces and/or dashes '-'. We want to reformat the phone number in a certain manner. There are few rules −Remove all spaces and dashes at beginningGroup the digits from left side to right side into blocks of length 3 until there are 4 or less digits are left.The final digits are then grouped like −For 2 digits: A single block of length 2.For 3 digits: A single block of length 3.For 4 digits: Two more blocks of length 2 each.These blocks are then clubbed by ...
