Suppose there are 8 prison cells in a row, and in each cell there is a prisoner or that is empty. In each day, whether the cell is occupied or vacant changes according to the following rules −If one cell has two adjacent neighbors that are both occupied or both vacant, then the cell becomes occupied.Otherwise, it becomes empty.We will describe the current state of the prison in the following way: cells[i] will be 1 if the i-th cell is occupied, else cells[i] will be 0.So we have the initial state of the prison, then return the state of the ...

Suppose we have an array of integers A with even length, now we have to say true if and only if it is possible to reorder it in such a way that A[2 * i + 1] = 2 * A[2 * i] for every 0 0, thenif m[key of kv] is not 0 and m[2* key of kv] > 0x := min of m[key of kv] and m[2* key of kv]cnt := cnt – (x * 2)decrease m[2 * key of kv] by xdecrease m[key of kv] by xotherwise when key of kv = 0, thencnt := cnt ...

Suppose we have a deck of cards; every card has a one unique number. We can order the deck in any order that we want. So Initially, all the cards start face down (unrevealed) in one deck. Now, we do the following steps multiple times, until all cards are revealed −Suppose we have a deck of cards; every card has a one unique number. We can order the deck in any order that we want. So Initially, all the cards start face down (unrevealed) in one deck. Now, we do the following steps multiple times, until all cards are revealed ... Read More
Suppose we have an initial power P, an initial score of 0 points, and one bag of tokens. Now each token can be used at most once, there is a value token[i], and has potentially two ways to use it, these are as follows −If we have at least token[i] power, then we may play the token face up, losing token[i] power, and gaining 1 point.Otherwise when we have at least 1 point, we may play the token face down, gaining token[i] power, and losing 1 point.We have to find the largest number of points that we can have after ...

Suppose we have a list of folders, we have to remove all sub-folders in those folders and return in any order the folders after removing. Here if a folder[i] is located within another folder[j], it is denoted as subfolder of it. The paths will be like folder1/subfolder2/… etc.Suppose the input is like["/myfolder", "/myfolder/secondfolder", "/another/document", "/another/document/extrafolder", "/another/final"], then the output will be: ["/myfolder", "/another/final", "/another/document"]To solve this, we will follow these steps −sort the folder array based on the length of the pathscreate one map m, and another array ansfor i in range 0 to size of path array – 1s ...

Suppose we have an array of integers A, here a move consists of choosing any A[i], and incrementing it by 1. We have to find the least number of moves to make every value in A unique. So if the input is like [3, 2, 1, 2, 1, 7], then the output will be 6, as after 6 moves, the array could be [3, 4, 1, 2, 5, 7], it can be shown with 5 or less moves that it is impossible for the array to have all distinct values.To solve this, we will follow these steps −ret:= 0sort array ...

Suppose we have some coins. The i-th coin has a probability prob[i] of facing heads when tossed. We have to show the probability that the number of coins facing heads equals target if you toss every coin exactly once. So if the prob array is like [0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5] and target is 0, then the output will be 0.03125.To solve this, we will follow these steps −n := size of prob arraycreate one 2d array of size n x (target + 5)set dp[0, 0] = 1 – prob[0] and dp[0, 1] := prob[0]for i in range 1 to ...

Suppose for some fixed value of N, an array A is beautiful when it is a permutation of the integers 1, 2, ..., N, such that −For every i < j, there is no such k with i < k < j such that A[k] * 2 = A[i] + A[j].Suppose we have N, we have to find any beautiful array A.So if the input is like 5, then the output will be [3, 1, 2, 5, 4]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Create one array called ret, insert 1 into retwhile size of ret < Ncreate an ...

Suppose we have the availability time slots lists slots1 and slots2 of two people and a meeting duration d, we have to find the earliest time slot that works for both of them and is of duration d. If there is no common time slot that satisfies the requirements, then show an empty array. Here the format of a time slot is an array of two elements [start, end] representing an inclusive time range from start to end. we can assume that no two availability slots of the same person intersect with each other. That is, for any two time ... Read More
Suppose an array A of 0s and 1s is given, we have to find how many non-empty subarrays have sum S? So if the input is like [1, 0, 1, 0, 1], and S = 2, then the result will be 4, as the subarrays are [1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1].To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a method called atMost(), this will take array A and integer xif x < 0, then return 0, set j := 0 and set ret := ...
