Suppose we have a string str. We have another character ch. Our task is to find the last index of ch in the string. Suppose the string is “Hello”, and character ch = ‘l’, then the last index will be 3.To solve this, we will traverse the list from right to left, if the character is not same as ‘l’, then decrease index, if it matches, then stop and return result.Example#include using namespace std; int getLastIndex(string& str, char ch) {    for (int i = str.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--)       if (str[i] == ch)   ...

Consider we have one circular array containing integers from 1 to n. Find the last element, that would remain in the list after deleting every second element starting from first element. If the input is 5, then array will be [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Start from 1. After deleting each second element will be like −1 0 3 4 5 1 0 3 0 5 0 0 3 0 5 0 0 3 0 0So the element that remains in the list is 3.We will solve this problem using recursion. Suppose n is even. The numbers 2, 4, 6 ... Read More

Suppose we have an array A with some elements. We have to find the largest element in the array A, but the constraint is, we cannot use any conditional operator. So if A = [12, 63, 32, 24, 78, 56, 20], then maximum element will be 78.To solve this problem, we will use the bitwise AND operation. at first we will insert one extra element INT_MAX (where all bit is 1) in array. Then we will try to find maximum AND value of any pair from the array. This obtained max value will contain AND value of INT_MAX and largest ... Read More

Consider we have an array A with few elements. The array is unsorted. We have two other value X and k. Our task is to find the k number of nearest elements of X from the array A. If the element X is present in the array, then it will not be shown in the output. If A = [48, 50, 55, 30, 39, 35, 42, 45, 12, 16, 53, 22, 56] and X = 35, k = 4. The output will be 30, 39, 42, 45.To solve this, we will use the heap data structure. The steps will be ... Read More

Suppose we have a number N. We have another number k. We have to check the number can be represented using k numbers or not. Suppose a number 54, and k = 3, then it will print the numbers like [2, 3, 9], if it cannot be represented, then print that.To solve this, we will find all prime factors of N, and store them into a vector, then to find k numbers greater than 1, we check the size of the vector is greater than k or not. If size is less than k, then return -1, otherwise print first ... Read More

Suppose we have an array A. We have to check whether we can split the array into two parts, whose sum are equal. Suppose the elements are [6, 1, 3, 2, 5], then [6, 1], and [2, 5] can be two subarrays.This problem can be solved easily by following these rules. We have to find the sum of all elements of the array at first, then for each element of the array, we can calculate the right sum by using total_sum – sum of elements found so far.Example#include #include using namespace std; void displaySubArray(int arr[], int left, int right) {    cout

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about the most common methods of a list i.e.., append() and extend(). Let's see them one by one.append()append() method is used to insert an element at the end of a list. The time complexity of append() method is O(1).Syntaxlist.append(element) -> element can be any data type from the list of data types.Let's see some examples.Example# initializing a list nums = [1, 2, 3, 4] # displaying the list print('----------------Before Appending-------------------') print(nums) print() # appending an element to the nums # 5 will be added at the end of the nums nums.append(5) # ...

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about the most common methods of a list i.e.., append() and extend(). Let's see them one by one.apply()It is used to apply a function to every row of a DataFrame. For example, if we want to multiply all the numbers from each and add it as a new column, then apply() method is beneficial. Let's see different ways to achieve it.Example# importing the pandas package import pandas as pd # function to multiply def multiply(x, y):    return x * y # creating a dictionary for DataFrame data = {    'Maths': ...

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to make a column of names to uppercase in DataFrame. Let's see different ways to achieve our goal.ExampleWe can assign a column to the DataFrame by making it uppercase using the upper() method.Let's see the code.# importing the pandas package import pandas as pd # data for DataFrame data = {    'Name': ['Hafeez', 'Aslan', 'Kareem'],    'Age': [19, 21, 18],    'Profession': ['Developer', 'Engineer', 'Artist'] } # creating DataFrame data_frame = pd.DataFrame(data) # displaying the DataFrame print('---------------------Before-------------------') print(data_frame) print() # making the Name column strings to upper case data_frame['Name'] = ...
