We are given a string containing the parentheses and the task is to calculate the count of pairs of parentheses sequences that can be formed such that the parentheses are balanced.Parentheses are said to be balanced when there are equal numbers of opening and closing brackets. The parentheses used once can’t be considered twice for forming the pair.Input − string paran[] = { ")()())", "(", ")(", ")(", ")" }Output − Count of pairs of parentheses sequences such that parentheses are balanced are: 1Explanation − we will take every set of string to calculate the count better. Lets take the first ...

We are two variables n and m representing a grid of size n x m and initial point x, y to start from.Also given pairs of steps/moves that can be taken to traverse inside the grid as moves ( (1, 1), (2, 2) ) etc. Each pair of moves represents the unit of steps taken in the x, y axis. The goal is to find the total steps that can be taken to traverse inside the grid within boundaries [1, n] X [1, m] If n is 5 and m is 4 and current position is 2, 2 and step ...

We are a variable num. The goal is to find the count of permutations of numbers between [1, num] in which numbers are first decreasing then increasing. For example if num=3 then numbers are 1, 2, 3. The permutations will be [ 3, 1, 2 ] and [2, 1, 3] and count is 2.We know that in every permutation the change from decreasing of numbers to increasing of numbers will be decided based on position of 1 which is smallest. After each 1 the numbers will start increasing. For a permutation to decrease and then increase, 1 should lie between ...

In this problem, we are given an array arr[] consisting of n positive values. Our task is to find the element equal to the sum of all the remaining elements of the array.Code Description: We need to find the element whose value is equal to the sum of all elements of the array except that element.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Input: arr[] = { 5, 4, 17, 1, 7 }Output: 17Explanation −The sum of the rest of the element is (5 + 4 + 1 + 7 ) = 17, which is equal to the remaining element 17.Solution Approach −A simple ...

We are given a positive number n as input. The goal is to find the count of possible pairs (i, j) such that each pair has sum (i+j) which is prime and is less than n. Also i != j and i, j>=1 If n is 4 then only 1 pair is possible which is (1, 2). Here 1+2 = 3 is prime and less than 4. Also 1, 2 >=1.Let us understand with examples.Input − n=7Output − Count of pairs with sum as a prime number and less than n are − 3Explanation − Pairs will be (1, 2), ...

In this problem, we are given an array arr[] of n positive integers. Our task is to create a program to find the elements greater than the previous and next element in an Array. Code Description: We need to find the elements of the array that satisfy the condition, the element is greater that the element at index 1 less than it and also is greater than the element at index 1 greater than it.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Input: arr[] = {3, 2, 5, 7, 3, 4, 5}Output: 7Explanation −Element with index one less than the current element, 5.Element with ...

We are given a string str[] as input. The goal is to count the words from str[] that have the same length as str[] and have positions of letters such that ith letter is replaced with letter at position (i1) or (i) or (i+1).For the first letter replacement will be from position i or i+1For the last letter replacement will be from position i-1 or i.Let us understand with examples.Input − str[] = “TPP”Output − Count of words whose i-th letter is either (i-1)-th, i-th, or (i+1)-th letter of given word are − 4Explanation Replacing T by T (i)th or 1st ...

Suppose we have two lists costs_from and costs_to of same size where each index i represents a city. It is making a one-way road from city i to j and their costs are costs_from[i] + costs_to[j]. We also have a list of edges where each edge contains [x, y] indicates there is already a one-way road from city x to y. If we want to go to any city from city 0, we have to find the minimum cost to build the necessary roads.So, if the input is like costs_from = [6, 2, 2, 12] costs_to = [2, 2, 3, ...

Suppose we have a binary matrix. Now consider an operation where we take one cell and flip it and all its neighboring cells (up, down, left, right). We have to find the minimum number of operations required such that matrix contains only 0s. If there is no solution, then return -1.So, if the input is like0010then the output will be 3.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define an array dir of size: 4 x 2 := {{1, 0}, {0, 1}, { - 1, 0}, {0, - 1}}const int inf = 10^6Define a function getPos(), this will take i, ...

We are given a target array arr[] containing positive integers. The goal is to construct the target array arr[] using an initial array with all 0s. The operations that can be applied on a given empty array with all 0s will suffix increment/decrement operations.If we choose any index say i, then in case of suffix increment operation we will add 1 to all elements from index i till last index.In case of suffix decrement operation we will subtract 1 from all elements from index i till last index.Let us understand with examplesInput − arr[]= { 1, 2, 3 }Output − ...
