Friend Pairing Problem
In a group, there is n number of friends. Each person can remain single or be paired with some other friend. Find the total number of ways, in which friends can remain single or can be paired up.If one pair has two friends’ p and q, then (p, q) or (q, p) are same. For a group of n friends, let f(n) be the number of ways how they can be paired up or remain single. Then either the nth person remains single, or paired up. If the nth person is single, then we recur for (n - 1) friends. If ...
Read MoreWildcard Pattern Matching
For this problem, one main string and another wildcard patterns are given. In this algorithm, it will check whether the wildcard pattern is matching with the main text or not.The wildcard pattern may contain letters or ‘*’ or ‘?’ Symbols. The ‘?’ Is used to match a single character and ‘*’ is used to match the sequence of characters including empty space.When the character is ‘*’: We can ignore the star character and move to check next characters in the pattern.When the next character is ‘?’, then we can ignore only the current character in the text, and check for ...
Read MorePartition problem
For this problem, a given set can be partitioned in such a way, that sum of each subset is equal.At first, we have to find the sum of the given set. If it is even, then there is a chance to divide it into two sets. Otherwise, it cannot be divided.For even value of the sum, then we will create a table named partTable, now use the following condition to solve the problem.partTable[i, j] is true, when subset of array[0] to array[j-1] has sum equal to i, otherwise it is false.Input and OutputInput: A set of integers. {3, 1, 1, ...
Read MorePalindrome Partitioning
In this algorithm, the input is a string, a partitioning of that string is palindrome partitioning when every substring of the partition is a palindrome.In this algorithm, we have to find the minimum cuts are needed to palindrome partitioning the given string.Input and OutputInput: A string. Say “ababbbabbababa” Output: Minimum cut to partition as palindrome. Here 3 cuts are needed. The palindromes are: a | babbbab | b | ababaAlgorithmminPalPart(str)Input: The given string.Output: Minimum number of palindromic partitioning from the string.Begin n := length of str define cut matrix and pal matrix each of order n x n ...
Read MoreLongest Palindromic Subsequence
Longest Palindromic Subsequence is the subsequence of a given sequence, and the subsequence is a palindrome.In this problem, one sequence of characters is given, we have to find the longest length of a palindromic subsequence.To solve this problem, we can use the recursive formula, If L (0, n-1) is used to store a length of longest palindromic subsequence, thenL (0, n-1) := L (1, n-2) + 2 (When 0'th and (n-1)'th characters are same).Input and OutputInput: A string with different letters or symbols. Say the input is “ABCDEEAB” Output: The longest length of the largest palindromic subsequence. Here it is ...
Read MoreMaximum Length Chain of Pairs
There is a chain of pairs is given. In each pair, there are two integers and the first integer is always smaller, and the second one is greater, the same rule can also be applied for the chain construction. A pair (x, y) can be added after a pair (p, q), only if q < x.To solve this problem, at first, we have to sort given pairs in increasing order of the first element. After that, we will compare the second element of a pair, with the first element of the next pair.Input and OutputInput: A chain of number pairs. ...
Read MoreMaximum size square submatrix with all 1s
When a binary matrix is given, our task is to find a square matrix whose all elements are 1.For this problem, we will make an auxiliary size matrix, whose order is the same as the given matrix. This size matrix will help to represent, in each entry Size[i, j], is the size of a square matrix with all 1s. From that size matrix, we will get the maximum number to get the size of the biggest square matrix.Input and OutputInput: The binary matrix. 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 ...
Read MoreMaximum profit by buying and selling a share at most twice
In a trading, one buyer buys and sells the shares, at morning and the evening respectively. If at most two transactions are allowed in a day. The second transaction can only start after the first one is completed. If stock prices are given, then find the maximum profit that the buyer can make.Input and OutputInput: A list of stock prices. {2, 30, 15, 10, 8, 25, 80} Output: Here the total profit is 100. As buying at price 2 and selling at price 30. so profit 28. Then buy at price 8 and sell it again at price 80. So ...
Read MoreMaximum Sum Increasing Subsequence
Maximum Sum Increasing subsequence is a subsequence of a given list of integers, whose sum is maximum and in the subsequence, all elements are sorted in increasing order.Let there is an array to store max sum increasing subsequence, such that L[i] is the max sum increasing subsequence, which is ending with array[i].Input and OutputInput: Sequence of integers. {3, 2, 6, 4, 5, 1} Output: Increasing subsequence whose sum is maximum. {3, 4, 5}.AlgorithmmaxSumSubSeq(array, n)Input: The sequence of numbers, number of elements.Output: Maximum sum of the increasing sub sequence.Begin define array of arrays named subSeqLen of size n. add ...
Read MoreMaximum sum rectangle in a 2D matrix
A matrix is given. We need to find a rectangle (sometimes square) matrix, whose sum is maximum.The idea behind this algorithm is to fix the left and right columns and try to find the sum of the element from the left column to right column for each row, and store it temporarily. We will try to find top and bottom row numbers. After getting the temporary array, we can apply the Kadane’s Algorithm to get maximum sum sub-array. With it, the total rectangle will be formed.Input and OutputInput: The matrix of integers. 1 2 -1 -4 -20 -8 -3 4 ...
