Here we will see, how to find the Floor and Ceiling value from BST. For example, if we want to make a memory management system, where free nodes are arranged in BST. Find best fit for the input request. Suppose we are moving down the tree with smallest data larger than the key value, then there are three possible cases.Root is the key. Then root value is the ceiling valueIf root data < key, then the ceiling value will not be at the left subtree, then proceed to right subtree, and reduce the problem domainIf root data > key, then ...

Suppose we have an expression. The expression has some parentheses; we have to check the parentheses are balanced or not. The order of the parentheses are (), {} and []. Suppose there are two strings. “()[(){()}]” this is valid, but “{[}]” is invalid.The task is simple; we will use stack to do this. We should follow these steps to get the solution −Traverse through the expression until it has exhaustedif the current character is opening bracket like (, { or [, then push into stackif the current character is closing bracket like ), } or ], then pop from stack, ...

Consider we have a string and some queries in set Q. Each query contains a pair of integers i and j. and another character c. We have to replace characters at index i and j with the new character c. And tell if the string is palindrome or not. Suppose a string is like “AXCDCMP”, if we use one query like (1, 5, B), then the string will be “ABCDCBP”, then another query like (0, 6, A), then it will be “ABCDCBA”, this is palindrome.We have to create one query using indices i, j, then replace the characters present at ...

Consider we have a 2D array. We have to find if we can get a path from topleft corner to bottom-right corner. The matrix is filled with 0s and 1s. 0 indicates open area, 1 indicates blockage. Note that the top-left corner will always be 1.Suppose a matrix is like below −0001010011000101000000100One path is marked as green, there are some other paths also. So the program will return true, if there is a path, otherwise false.We will solve this problem, by changing all accessible node to -1, First change the value of starting point to -1, then get next value ...

Here we will see, if a matrix is magic square or not, a magic square is a square matrix, where the sum of each row, each column, and each diagonal are same.Suppose a matrix is like below −618753294This is a magic square, if we see, the sum of each row, column and diagonals are 15.To check whether a matrix is magic square or not, we have to find the major diagonal sum and the secondary diagonal sum, if they are same, then that is magic square, otherwise not.Example#include #define N 3 using namespace std; bool isMagicSquare(int mat[][N]) {   ...

Suppose, we have a number string, we have to find that the number is of given base B or not? If the string is “101110”, b = 2, then the program will return true. If the string is “A8F”, base is 16, it will be true.The approach is very simple. If all of the character is in the range of symbols of the given base, then return true, otherwise false.Example#include using namespace std; bool inGivenBase(string s, int base) {    if (base > 16) //program can handle upto base 1       return false;       else ...

Here we will see one interesting problem to check whether a number is jumbled or not. A number is said to be jumbled if, for every digit, it's neighbor digit differs by max 1. For example, a number 1223 is jumbled, but 1256 is not jumbled.To solve this problem, we have to check if a digit has a neighbor with a difference greater than 1. If such digit is found, then return false, otherwise true.Example#include #include using namespace std; bool isJumbled(int number) {    if (number / 10 == 0) //for single digit number is is always jumbled ...

Suppose a number is given, we have to check whether the number is a perfect square or not. We will not use the square root operation to check it. Suppose a number 1024 is there, this is a perfect square, but 1000 is not a perfect square. The logic is simple, we have to follow this algorithm to get the result.AlgorithmisPerfectSquare(n) −input − The number noutput − true, if the number is a perfect square, otherwise, falsebegin    for i := 1, i2 ≤ n, increase i by 1:       if n is divisible by i, and n ...

In this section, we will see, if a number is the power of 8 or not using some easier method. If a number like 4096 is there, then the program will return true, as this is the power of 8.The trick is simple. we will calculate log8(num). If this is an integer, then n is the power of 8. Here we will use the tranc(n) function to find the closest integer of the double value.Example#include #include using namespace std; bool isPowerOfEight(int n) {    double val = log(n)/log(8); //get log n to the base 8    return (val ...

Here we will see a program, if one number is given, another value k is also given, we have to check whether the number is power of k or not. But we have to perform the base changing method to solve this problem. Suppose a number is 27, and k = 3. Then by base changing method, the 27 will be 10003. Here after changing the base if there is only one occurrence of digit 1, and others are 0, then the number is power of k.To solve this problem, we will follow these steps.Steps −define flag := falsewhile number > ...
