In Bertrand's original paper, he explains a proof depended on a general formula for the number of favourable sequences implementing a recursion relation.ExampleLet there are 5 voters, of whom 3 vote for candidate A and 2 vote for candidate B (so p = 3 and q = 2). Ten possibilities are exist for the order of the votes cast −AAABBAABABABAABBAAABAABBAABABABAABAABBAABABAABBAAAFor the order AABAB, the tally of the votes as the election progresses is given below −CandidateAABABA12233B00112For each column the tally for A is always greater than the tally for B so the A is always strictly ahead of B.

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to convert one string to other using append and delete last operations.For this we will be provided with two strings. Our task is to calculate whether the first string can be converted into the second one by performing k operations of append and delete last element.Example#include using namespace std; //checking if conversion between strings is possible bool if_convert(string str1, string str2, int k){    if ((str1.length() + str2.length()) < k)    return true;    //finding common length of both string    int commonLength = 0;    for (int i = ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to convert a number to have digits as 3 and 8 only.For this we will be provided with a random number. Our task is to convert its digits to be only 3 and 8 by either adding/subtracting 1 from the number or converting digits of the number to any desired digit.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; //calculating minimum operations required int cal_min(long long int num){    //calculating remainder and operations    int rem;    int count = 0;    while (num) {       rem = num % 10;   ...
