Suppose we have a list of numbers. We have to find the length of the longest sequence of numbers such that when we delete a number from the sequence, each number occurs the same number of times.So, if the input is like numbers = [2, 4, 4, 7, 7, 6, 6], then the output will be 7.To solve this, we will follow these steps −num_freq := a new mapfreq_freq := a new mapdiff_freq := a new setresult := 1for each index I and value num in nums, docur_freq := num_freq[num]num_freq[num] := num_freq[num] + 1freq_freq[cur_freq] := freq_freq[cur_freq] − 1freq_freq[cur_freq + 1] ...

Suppose, we are provided with a list of numbers called nums. Here we can jump to index i + numbers[i] or to i − numbers[i] from index i if the values exist in the list. So we have to find the number of jumps required at least to reach another value with different parity keeping the order in the input unchanged. If we cannot reach another number with different parity, it is set to −1.So, if the input is like numbers = [7, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 6, 7], then the output will be [−1, 1, 2, −1, −1, ... Read More

Suppose we have one infinite grid of water. We can add blocks of land to that grid one by one. We have a list of coordinates called land_requests where each coordinate is in the form [r, c] where r is for row and c is for column. We have to find a list where each element represents the number of islands that exist after adding each block of land from land_requests.So, if the input is like land_requests = [[1, 1], [2, 4], [1, 2], [1, 4], [1, 3]], then the output will be [1, 2, 2, 2, 1] asTo solve ...

Suppose we have a 2d matrix and another value k, we have to find the largest sum of a rectangle where sum ≤ k.So, if the input is like5−2710and k = 15, then the output will be 12, as we can take the rectangle [5, 7] to get sum of 12 less than 15.To solve this, we will follow these steps −n := row count of am := column count of aans := inffor i1 in range 0 to n, dorow := a list of size m and fill with 0for i2 in range i1 to n, dofor j in ...

Suppose we want to make a maximum stack, which supports following operations −MaxStk() this will construct a new instance of a maximum stackpush(val) inserts val to the stacktop() get the top most element from stackmax() get the maximum element from the stackpop() removes and returns the top most element from the stackpopmax() removes and returns the maximum element from the stackNow construct the maximum stack by calling MasStk(), then push three values like 5, 15, 10, then call top(), max(), popmax(), max() pop(), top() functions respectively. then the initial stack status will be [5, 15, 10], and corresponding output for ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums, we have to find the maximum difference that exists between any number and the next smaller number. Our goal is to solve this in linear time.So, if the input is like nums = [14, 2, 6, 35, 12], then the output will be 21, as 35 and 14 have the largest difference of 21.To solve this, we will follow these steps −max_val := maximum of nums, min_val := minimum of numsif max_val is same as min_val, thenreturn 0delta := (max_val − min_val) / (size of nums − 1)min_map := an empty ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums and we can reverse any sublist in the list at most once. After performing this operation, we have to find the maximum possible value of$\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=0}^{n-2}| nums[i+1]-[nums[i]|$So, if the input is like nums = [2, 4, 6], then the output will be 6, as when we reverse [4, 6] we will get the list as [2, 6, 4] and the value |2 − 6| + |6 − 4| = 6To solve this, we will follow these steps −if size of nums

Suppose we have a binary matrix where 1 represents land and 0 represents water. And an island is a group of 1s that are surrounded by water. We have to find the size of the largest island. We are allowed to change at most one water cell to land cell.So, if the input is like101000110111then the output will be 7, as we can turn one water cells to land to connect the two islands. So final matrix is like −101000110111To solve this, we will follow these steps −R := row count of mat, C := column count of matmass := ... Read More

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums and another value k, we have to find the largest average value of any sublist of the list whose length is at least k.So, if the input is like nums = [2, 10, -50, 4, 6, 6] k = 3, then the output will be 5.33333333, as sublist [4, 6, 6] has the largest average valueTo solve this, we will follow these steps −left := minimum of nums, right := maximum of numss := sum of all numbers in nums from index 0 to k − 1largest_avg := s / kwhile left

Suppose we have two values n and k. Now consider a list of numbers in range 1 through n [1, 2, ..., n] and generating every permutation of this list in lexicographic sequence. For example, if n = 4 we have [1234, 1243, 1324, 1342, 1423, 1432, 2134, 2143, 2314, 2341, 2413, 2431, 3124, 3142, 3214, 3241, 3412, 3421, 4123, 4132, 4213, 4231, 4312, 4321]. We have to find the kth value of this permutation sequence as a string.So, if the input is like n = 4 k = 5, then the output will be "1432"To solve this, we will ... Read More
