Suppose we have an array with n objects. These are colored red, white, or blue, sort them in place so that the objects of the same color are adjacent. So with the colors in the order red, white and blue. Here, we will use the numbers like 0, 1, and 2 to represent the color red, white, and blue respectively. So if the array is like [2,0,2,1,1,0], then the output will be [0,0,1,1,2,2]To solve this, we will follow these steps −set low := 0, mid := 0 and high := length of array – 1while mid

Suppose we have a matrix and we have to print the matrix elements in a spiral way. At first starting from the first row, print the whole content and then follow the last column to print, then the last row, and so on, thus it prints the elements in a spiral fashion. So if the matrix is like −123456789101112131415161718Then the output will be like [1 2 3 4 5 6 12 18 17 16 15 14 13 7 8 9 10 11 15 16]To solve this, we will follow these steps −currRow := 0 and currCol := 0while currRow and ...

Suppose we have two inputs x and n. x is a number in range -100.0 to 100.0, and n is a 32-bit signed integer. We have to find x to the power n without using library functions.So if the given inputs are x = 12.1, n = -2, then output will be 0.00683To solve this, we will follow these steps −power := |n| and res := 1.0while power is not 0if last bit of power is 1, then res := res * xx := x * xif n < 0return 1 / resreturn resExample(Python)Let us see the following implementation to ...

Suppose we have a collection of distinct integers; we have to find all possible permutations. Now if the array stores the duplicate elements, then ignore that state which is looking similar. So if the array is like [1, 1, 3], then the result will be [[1, 1, 3], [1, 3, 1], [3, 1, 1]]To solve this, we will follow these steps −We will use the recursive approach, this will make the list, index. Index is initially 0if index = size of the list then insert list into res array, and returnfor i in range index to length of given list ...

Suppose we have one 9x9 Sudoku board. We have to check whether that is valid or now. Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the following rules −Each row must contain the digits from 1-9 without repetition.Each column must contain the digits from 1-9 without repetition.Each of the 9 (3x3) sub-boxes of the grid must contain the digits from 1-9 without repetition.Suppose the Sudoku grid is like −537619598686348317266284195879This is valid.To solve this, we will follow these steps −for i in range 0 to 8create some empty dictionary called row, col and block, row_cube := 3 * (i ...

Suppose we have an array of integers A. This is sorted in ascending order, we have to find the starting and ending position of a given target value. When the target is not found in the array, return [-1, -1]. So if the array is like [2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6], and target is 4, then the output will be [4, 7]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Initially res := [-1, -1], set low := 0, high := length of array Awhile low < highmid := low + (high – low)/2if A[mid] ...

Consider we have an array sorted in ascending order, and that is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand. For example, [0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7] might become [4, 5, 6, 7, 0, 1, 2]. We have given a target value to the search. If we can get it in the array, then return its index, otherwise return -1. We can assume no duplicate exists in the array. So if the array is like [4, 5, 6, 7, 0, 1, 2], then the output will be 4. as the index of this element is present at index ...

Suppose we have two integers dividend and divisor. We have to divide two integers without using multiplication, division, and mod operator. Return the quotient after dividing the dividend by divisor. The integer division should truncate toward zero. Both of the inputs are integersSo if the given inputs are dividend = 7, divisor = -3, then output will be -2.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Taking two arguments x and y it indicates x divides yif x < -Infinity and y = 1, then return infinitya := |x|, b := |y| and ans := 0while a – b >= ...

Suppose we have a value n. We have to generate all possible well-formed parentheses where n number of opening and closing parentheses are present. So if the value of n = 3, then the parentheses set will be ["()()()", "()(())", "(())()", "(()())", "((()))"]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define method called genParenthesisRec(). This takes left, right, temp string and result array. initially result array is emptyThe function genParenthesisRec, will work like belowif left = 0 and right := 0, then insert temp into result, and returnif left > 0getParenthesisRec(left – 1, right, temp + “(”, result)if right > ...

Suppose we have a linked list. We have to remove the Nth node from the end of the list, then return its head. So if the list is like [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] and n = 3, then the returned list will be [1, 2, 3, 5, 6].To solve this, we will follow these steps −If there is no node after head, then return Nonefront := head, back := head, counter := 0 and fount := falsewhile counter
