Suppose, we are given an empty sequence and n queries that we have to process. The queries are given in the array queries and they are in the format {query, data}. The queries can be of the three following types−query = 1: Add the supplied data to the end of the sequence.query = 2: Print the element at the beginning of the sequence. After that delete the element.query = 3: Sort the sequence in ascending order.Note that, query types 2 and 3 always have data = 0.So, if the input is like n = 9, queries = {{1, 5}, {1, ... Read More

Suppose, there are two points in a 2D plane a and b that have the coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) respectively. Currently, we are at point 'a' and we can move at a distance of 1 either vertically or horizontally. We move to point b from point a, then get back to point a, and we go to point b again. It is not allowed to move through the same points more than once except the points a and b. We have to find out the moves we will make in this whole trip, and output it. If we ... Read More

Suppose, we are given a grid of dimensions h * w that contains two types of cells, blocked and unblocked. Blocked cells mean that the cells aren't accessible and unblocked means that the cells are accessible. We represent the grid in a 2D array where the blocked cells are given as '#' and the unblocked cells are given as '.'. Now, we have to reach from an unblocked cell to another unblocked cell in the grid. We can perform only two moves, we can either go vertical or we can go horizontal. We can't move diagonally. We have to keep ... Read More

Suppose, we are playing a video game where the protagonist uses knives to defeat his enemies. The protagonist can use the knife for slashing the enemy or he can throw it towards the enemy. If the protagonist throws a knife, that cannot be retrieved again. The damage dealt by knife i is given in the array 'knives' where each element is of the form {slash, throw}. 'Slash' means the damage done to an enemy by slashing them with that knife and 'throw' means damage done to them by throwing that particular knife. Slashing can be done unlimited times, but a ...

Suppose, we are given a grid of dimensions x * y that contains two types of cells, blocked and unblocked. Blocked cells mean that the cells aren't accessible and unblocked means that the cells are accessible. We represent the grid in a 2D array where the blocked cells are given as '#' and the unblocked cells are given as '.'. Now, we have to reach from the cell (0, 0) to cell (x, y). We can perform only two moves, we can either go right of a cell or go down from a cell. We have to keep in mind ... Read More

Suppose, a telecom operator has introduced a service called "all-in-one" which provides access to n OTT content providers at a fixed price of k dollars. Now, if we have to subscribe to the OTT platforms directly, we have to pay an individual amount of fee to each of the platforms. We do not need subscriptions to every platform at all months, so we have to find a way to cost-effectively use their services. The starting month in which we need the service of platform i is given in the array start_month and the ending month is given in the array ... Read More

Suppose we have an array A with N elements. Consider there are N cats and they are numbered from 1 to N. Each cat is wearing a hat and ith cat says "there are exactly A[i] number of different colors among the N-1 hats owned by the cats except me". We have to check whether there exists a sequence of colors of the hats which is consistent with the remarks of the cats.So, if the input is like A = [1, 2, 2], then the output will be True, because if cat 1, 2 and 3 wears hats in colors ...

Suppose we have a number N. A cake seller is selling cakes with 40 rupees, and doughnuts with 70 rupees each. We have to check whether we can buy some of them with exactly N rupees or not.So, if the input is like N = 110, then the output will be True, because 40 + 70 = 110.To solve this, we will follow these steps −o := false Define a function dfs(), this will take i, if i > n, then:    return false if i is same as n, then:    return true if dfs(i + 40), then:   ...

Suppose we have an array A with N elements. Consider there are N boxes and they are arranged in a circle. The ith box contains A[i] stones. We have to check whether we can remove all stones from the boxes by repeatedly performing the operation: Select a box say ith box. For each j in range 1 to N, remove exactly j stones from the (i+j)th box. Here (N+k)th box is termed as kth box. This operation cannot be performed if a box does not contain sufficient number of stones.So, if the input is like A = [4, 5, 1, ... Read More

Suppose we have a list of numbers A with N elements in it. The elements are 1, 2 or 3, Consider a number X[1][j] = A[j] where j is in range 1 to N. And X[i][j] = |X[i-1][j] - X[i-1][j+1]| where i is in range 2 to N and j is in range 1 to N+1-i. We have to find the value of X[i][j].So, if the input is like A = [1, 2, 3, 1], then the output will be 1, becauseX[1][1] to X[1][4] are 1, 2, 3, 1 X[2][1], X[2][2], X[2][3] are |1-2| = 1, |2 - 3| = ...
