Here we will see one interesting problem. Suppose one binary array is given of size n. Here n > 3. A true value or 1 value indicates that the active state, and 0 or false indicates inactive. Another number k is also given. We have to find active or inactive cells after k days. After every day state of ith cell will be active if the left and right cells are not same, if they are same, then it will be inactive. The left most and right most cell has no cell before and after it. So left most and ...

The rat in maze problem is one of the well-known problem of the backtracking. Here we will see that problem with little variation. Suppose one NxN maze M is given. The starting point is top left corner M[0, 0], and the destination is right bottom corner M[N – 1, N - 1]. One rat is placed at the starting point. Our goal is to find a path from starting point to ending point that can be by the rat to reach the destination. Here the rat can jump (The variation). Now there are some constraintsThe rat can move either towards ...

Here we will see another sorting problem named Pancake sort. This problem is simple. We have one array. We have to sort this. But we can use only one operation called rev(arr, i). This will reverse the elements of arr from 0 to ith position.This idea is like the selection sort. We repeatedly place the max element at end reduce the size of the array. Let us see the algorithm to get the idea.AlgorithmpancakeSort(arr, n)Begin    size := n    while size > 1, do       index := index of max element in arr from [0 to size ...

In this section we will see one interesting problem. We will see two code segments. Both are with two nested loops. We have to identify which one will run faster. (We will assume that the compiler is not optimizing the code).Segment 1for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){    for(int j = 0; j

Here we will see one matrix probability problem. We have one rectangular matrix. We can move four directions from the current cell with equal probability. These four directions are left, right, up and down. We have to calculate the probability after N moves from position M[i, j].Here we will do something related to DFS. We will traverse recursively traverse in each of the four possible rooms from the current room. Then we will calculate the probability with one less move. As each of the four directions has equal probability, then each direction will contribute 0.25 of total probability. If we ...
