Suppose a decimal number can be converted to its Hexspeak representation by converting it to an uppercase hexadecimal string at first, after that replacing all occurrences of the digit 0 with the letter O, and the digit 1 with the letter I.This kind of representation is valid if and only if it consists only of the letters in the set {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "I", "O"}.So we have a string num representing a decimal integer N, we have to find the Hexspeak representation of N if it is correct, otherwise return "ERROR". So if num = “257”, then ...

Suppose we have four lists A, B, C, D of integer values, we have to compute how many tuples (i, j, k, l) there are such that A[i] + B[j] + C[k] + D[l] is zero. Consider all A, B, C, D have same length of N where 0 ≤ N ≤ 500. Remember all integers are in the range of -228 to 228 - 1 and the result is guaranteed to be at most 231 - 1. So if the inputs are A = [1, 2], B = [-2, -1], C = [-1, 2], D = [0, 2], then ...

Suppose we have a non-empty integer array, we have to find the minimum number of moves that are required to make all array elements equal, where a move is incrementing or decrementing a selected element by 1. So when the array is like [1, 2, 3], then the output will be 2, as 1 will be incremented to 2, and 3 will be decremented to 2.To solve this, we will follow these steps −sort the array numsset counter as 0for i in nums, docounter := counter + absolute of (i – nums[length of nums / 2])return counterExample(Python)Let us see the ...

Suppose we have a string; we have to count how many palindromic substrings present in this string. The substrings with different start indices or end indices are counted as different substrings even they consist of same characters. So if the input is like “aaa”, then the output will be 6 as there are six palindromic substrings like “a”, “a”, “a”, “aa”, “aa”, “aaa”To solve this, we will follow these steps −count := 0for i in range 0 to length if stringfor j in range i + 1 to length of string + 1temp := substring from index i to jif ...

Suppose we have a non-negative integer; we could swap two digits at most once to get the maximum valued number. We have to return the maximum valued number we can get. So if the input is like 2736 then the output will be 7236. So here we are swapping 2 and 7.To solve this, we will follow these steps −num := cut each digit from the number, and make a listnum1 := sort the num in reverse orderindex := 0while index < length of numif num1[index] is not same as num[index]a := subarray of num from index (index + 1) ...

Suppose we have N rooms and we start in room 0. In each room there exists a distinct number in 0, 1, 2, ..., N-1, and each room may have some keys to access the next room. So in other words, each room i has a list of keys rooms[i], and each key rooms[i][j] is an integer in [0, 1, ..., N-1] where N = number of rooms. A key rooms[i][j] = v, this opens the room with number v So if the input is [[1], [2], [3], []]. then output will be true. There are few more points that ...

We can access the individual elements of a list using the [] brackets and the index number. But when we need to access some of the indices then we cannot apply this method. We need the below approaches to tackle this.Using two listsIn this method, along with the original list, we take the indices as another list. Then we use a for loop to iterate through the indices and supply those values to the main list for retrieving the values.Examplegiven_list = ["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri"] index_list = [1, 3, 4] # printing the lists print("Given list : " ...

In this article we are going to see a python program that will give output of possible words from a given set of characters. Here we are taking a list as an input which will contain the set of reference words and another list containing the characters from which the words are made up of.In the below program, we define two functions. One to take the letters from the second list and make up words. Another function to match the words formed with the words present in the given list of words.Exampledef Possible_Words(character):    x = {}    for n ...

During analysis of data sets we may come across situations where we have to deal with empty dictionaries. In tis article we will see how to check if a dictionary is empty or not.Using ifThe if condition evaluates to true if the dictionary has elements. Otherwise it evaluates to false. So in the below program we will just check the emptiness of a dictionary using only the if condition.Exampledict1 = {1:"Mon", 2:"Tue", 3:"Wed"} dict2 = {} # Given dictionaries print("The original dictionary : " ,(dict1)) print("The original dictionary : " ,(dict2)) # Check if dictionary is empty if dict1:   ...

In this article we will see how to find the frequency of each character in a given string. Then see if two or more characters have the same frequency in the given string or not. We will accomplish this in two steps. In the first program we will just find out the frequency of each character.Frequency of each characterHere we find the frequency of each character in the given input screen. We declare a empty dictionary and then add each character as a string. We also assign keys to each of the character to create the key-value pair needed by ...
