In a given matrix, there are four objects to analyze the element position: left, right, bottom, and top.Breadth First Search is nothing but finding the shortest distance between the two elements of a given 2-D Matrix. Thus, in each cell, there are four operations we can perform which can be expressed in four numerals such as, '2' describes that the cell in the matrix is Source.'3' describes that the cell in the matrix is Destination.'1' describes that the cell can be moved further in a direction.'0' describes that the cell in the matrix can not be moved in any direction.On ...

A Linked List is a linear data structure in which each node is having two blocks such that one block contains the value or data of the node and the other block contains the address of the next field.Let us assume that we have a linked list such that each node contains a random pointer which is pointing to other nodes in the list. The task is to construct the list with the same as the original list. Copying the list from the original list which is having some random pointer is called a 'Deep Copy' of the linked list.For ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums that is representing the stock prices of a company in chronological order and we also have another value k, we have to find the maximum profit we can make from up to k buys and sells (We must buy before sell, and sell before buy).So, if the input is like prices = [7, 3, 5, 2, 3] k = 2, then the output will be 3, as we can buy at 3, then sell at 5, again buy at 2, and sell at 3.To solve this, we will follow these steps ...

Suppose we have a string that represents a mathematical expression with (+, -, *, /) Here / is representing integer division, we have to evaluate and return the result without using any built-in function.So, if the input is like s = "2+3*5/7", then the output will be 4, as 2 + ((3 * 5) / 7) = 4To solve this, we will follow these steps −s := reverse the given stringDefine a function get_value().sign := 1if s is not empty and last element of s is same as "-", thendelete last element from ssign := -1value := 0while s is ...

Suppose we have a N x N binary matrix where 0 is for empty cells and 1 is a blocked cells, we have to find the number of ways to choose N empty cells such that every row and every column has at least one chosen cells. If the answer is very large return result mod 10^9 + 7So, if the input is like000000010then the output will be 4, as we have following configurations (where x is a selected cell) −To solve this, we will follow these steps −n := size of matrixDefine a function f() . This will take ...

Suppose we have a n x 3 matrix where each row contains three fields [src, dest, id] this means the bus has route from src to dest. It takes one unit of money to get on a new bus, but if we stay on the same bus we have to pay one unit only. We have to find the minimum cost necessary to take the bus from location 0 to the final stop (largest location). If there is no solution return -1.So, if the input is like010120230351502then the output will be 2, as we can take the 0 at location ...

Suppose we have a list of cartesian points [(x1, y1), (x2, y2), ..., (xn, yn)], that is representing a polygon, and also have two values x and y, we have to check whether (x, y) lies inside this polygon or on the boundary.So, if the input is like points = [(0, 0), (1, 3), (4, 4), (6, 2), (4, 0)] pt = (3, 1)then the output will be TrueTo solve this, we will follow these steps −ans := Falsefor i in range 0 to size of polygon - 1, do(x0, y0) := polygon[i](x1, y1) := polygon[(i + 1) mod size ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums and another value k, we have to find the number of subsets in the list that sum up to k. If the answer is very large then mod this with 10^9 + 7So, if the input is like nums = [2, 3, 4, 5, 7] k = 7, then the output will be 3, as We can choose the subsets [2,5],[3,4] and [7].To solve this, we will follow these steps −dp := a list of size (k + 1) and fill with 0dp[0] := 1m := 10^9 + 7for i in range 0 to size of nums - 1, dofor j in range k down to 0, decrease by 1, doif nums[i]

Consider a country that is represented as a tree with N nodes and N-1 edges. Now each node represents a town, and each edge represents a road. We have two lists of numbers source and dest of size N-1. According to them the i-th road connects source[i] to dest[i]. And the roads are bidirectional. We also have another list of numbers called population of size N, where population[i] represents the population of the i-th town. We are trying to upgrade some number of towns into cities. But no two cities should be adjacent to each other and every node adjacent ...

Suppose we have a binary matrix and another value k. You want to split the matrix into k pieces such that each piece contains at least one 1 in it. But there are some rules for cutting, we have to follow in order: 1. Select a direction: vertical or horizontal 2. Select an index in the matrix to cut into two sections. 3. If we cut vertically, we can no longer cut the left part but can only continue cutting the right part.  4. If we cut horizontally, we can no longer cut the top part and can only continue ...
