Suppose we have a set of n non-negative integers a1, a2, ..., an, each value represents a point at coordinate (i, a[i]). n vertical lines are present in such a way that the two endpoints of line i is at (i, a[i]) and (i, a[0]). We have to find two lines, which together with x-axis forms one container, so our goal is to find two columns where water volume is max. So if the array is like [1, 8, 6, 2, 5, 4, 8, 3, 7], then it will beIn the shaded part, the height is 7 and there are ... Read More

Suppose we have to design a module, that first discards as many whitespace characters as necessary until the first non-whitespace character is reached. After that, starting from this character, it takes an optional initial plus sign or minus sign followed by as many numerical digits, and interprets them as a numerical value.When the first sequence of non-whitespace characters in str is not a valid integral number, or when no such sequence exists because either str is empty or it contains only whitespaces, no conversion will be performed.So if the input is like “-45”, the output will be -45.To solve this, ...

Suppose the string is like " IWANTTOLEARNCODE". This string is written in a zigzag way on a given number of rows say n. So the pattern is looking like thisITAOWNOERCDALNEWhen we read the line like − "ITAOWNOERCDALNE"So we have to create one module that can perform this kind of operation by taking the string and the number of rows.To solve this, we will follow these stepswhen n = 1, then return screate an array of strings arr of size nrow := 0, and down := truefor i in range 0 to size of string – 1insert s[i] at the end ...

Suppose we have a string S. We have to find the longest palindromic substring in S. We are assuming that the length of the string S is 1000. So if the string is “BABAC”, then the longest palindromic substring is “BAB”.To solve this, we will follow these stepsDefine one square matrix of order same as the length of string, and fill it with FalseSet the major diagonal elements as true, so DP[i, i] = True for all i from 0 to order – 1start := 0for l in range 2 to length of S + 1for i in range 0 ...

Suppose we have a string s that is formed by digits ('0' - '9') and '#'. We have to map s to one English lowercase characters as follows −Characters ('a' to 'i') are represented by ('1' to '9') respectively.Characters ('j' to 'z') are represented by ('10#' to '26#') respectively.We have to find the string formed after mapping. We are taking one assumption that a unique mapping will always exist. So if the input is like “10#11#12”, then it will be “jkab”. As 10# is j, 11# is k, 1 is a and 2 is b.To solve this, we will follow ... Read More

Suppose we have one ‘head’ which is a reference node to a singly-linked list. The value of each node present in the linked list is either 0 or 1. This linked list stores the binary representation of a number. We have to return the decimal value of the number present in the linked list. So if the list is like [1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1]To solve this, we will follow these steps −x := convert the list elements into an arraythen reverse the list xans := 0, and temp := 1for i in range i := 0, to size ...

Suppose we have one 2D grid of size m x n. We have another variable k. We have to shift the grid k times. The shift operation will be as followsElement at grid G[i, j] moves to G[i, j + 1]Element at grid G[i, n – 1] moves to G[i + 1, 0]Element at grid G[m - 1, n – 1] moves to G[0, 0]So if the grid is like −123456789The output will be −912345678To solve this, we will follow these steps −The shift operation will take the matrix as inputn = number of rows, m := number of columns, ...

Suppose we have an array with n integers, our task is to check whether it could become nondecreasing by modifying at most one element. We can define an array is non-decreasing if it satisfies this rule: array[i] 0if arr[i - 1] > arr[i + 1], then arr[i + 1] := arr[i]return trueExample (Python)Let us see the following implementation to get a better understanding − Live Democlass Solution(object):    def checkPossibility(self, nums):       if len(nums) nums[i+1]:             if ans:                return False           ...

Suppose there are some chips, the i-th chip is at present at position chips[i]. We can perform any of the two following types of operations any many numbers of times as we want (possibly zero) on any chip −Move the i-th chip by 2 units to the left side or to the right side with a cost of 0.Move the i-th chip by 1 unit to the left side or to the right side with a cost of 1.Initially, there can be two or more chips. We have to return the minimum cost needed to move all the chips to ... Read More

Suppose we have an array A of integers, we have to modify the array in the following way −We can choose an i and replace the A[i] with -A[i], and we will repeat this process K times. We have to return the largest possible sum of the array after changing it in this way.So, if the array A = [4, 2, 3], and K = 1, then the output will be 5. So choose indices 1, the array will become [4, -2, 3]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Sort the array Afor i in range 0 to length ... Read More
