Suppose we have a lowercase string s, we can partition s into as many pieces as possible such that each letter appears in at most one piece and find the sizes of the partitions as a list.So, if the input is like s = "momoplaykae", then the output will be [4, 1, 1, 4, 1], as the string is split into ["momo", "p", "l", "ayka", "e"].To solve this, we will follow these steps −count := a map that contains characters in s and their occurrencesout := a new list, stk := an empty stacklength := 0for each char in s, ...

Suppose we have a list of coordinates. Each coordinate has two values x and y, representing a point on the Cartesian plane. Now find the maximum number of points that lie on some line.So, if the input is like coordinates = [[6, 2], [8, 3], [10, 4], [1, 1], [2, 2], [6, 6], [7, 7]], then the output will be 4, as the points are [1, 1], [2, 2], [6, 6], [7, 7]] that lies on a line.To solve this, we will follow these steps −res := 0for i in range 0 to size of points list, do(x1, y1) := ...

Suppose we have a 2d matrix and some other values like row, col, erow0, ecol0, erow1, and ecol1. If our current position is matrix [row, col] and we want to pick up gold that is at matrix [erow0, ecol0] and matrix [erow1, ecol1]. We can go up, down, left, and right but when we are at a cell (r, c), we have to pay cost matrix [r, c], although if we land at a cell more than once, we do not need to pay cost for that cell again. We have to find the minimum cost to pick up gold ...

Suppose we have a list of edges in the form (u, v) and these are representing a tree. For each edge we have to find the total number of unique paths that includes said edge, in the same order as given in the input.So, if the input is like edges = [[0, 1], [0, 2], [1, 3], [1, 4]]then the output will be [6, 4, 4, 4].To solve this, we will follow these steps −adj := adjacency list from given edgescount := an empty mapDefine a function dfs() . This will take x, parentcount[x] := 1for each nb in adj[x], ...

Suppose we have a string s and a regular expression pattern. We have to check whether the given pattern matches with given string or not. In the regular expression, there are few rules −. (period) which matches any single character* (asterisk) which matches zero or more of the preceding element.So, if the input is like pattern = "h.l*o" s = "hello", then the output will be True, as We have ra and then a single characterTo solve this, we will follow these steps −n := size of sm := size of pDefine a function dp() . This will take i, ...

Suppose we have a string s as S-expression. We have to evaluate that S-expression and return result as integer. As we know that the s-expression is an expression which is either one number, or a recursive expression wrapped in parentheses like (+ (- 3 2) (* 3 3)), which indicates (3 - 2) + (3 * 3) = 10. Here valid operators are +, -, *, and /.So, if the input is like s = "(- (+ 3 2) 2)", then the output will be 3, as ((3 + 2) - 2) = 3.To solve this, we will follow these ...

Suppose we have two strings s and t. We have to find the length of the shortest string that has both s and t as subsequences.So, if the input is like s = "pipe" t = "people", then the output will be 7, as one possible supersequence is "pieople".To solve this, we will follow these steps −m := size of s, n := size of ttable := a table of size (n + 1) x (m + 1) and fill with 0for i in range 0 to m, dofor j in range 0 to n, doif i is same as ...

Suppose we have a binary matrix, where 0 represents water and 1 represents the land. An island is a group of connecting 1s in 4 directions. Islands are either surrounded by 0s (water) or by the edges. We have to find the length of shortest bridge that connects two islands.So, if the input is like001101100then the output will be 1. This will connect (1, 0) to (1, 2) points.To solve this, we will follow these steps −row := row count of matrixcol := column count of matrixDefine a function dfs() . This will take i, j, sif (i, j) is ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums, and an another input called target, we have to find the size of the shortest sublist such that its sum value is same as target or larger. If there is no such sublist then return -1.So, if the input is like nums = [2, 11, -4, 17, 4] target = 19, then the output will be 2, as we can select [17, 4] to get sum of at least 19.To solve this, we will follow these steps −ps := a list with only one element 0for each num in nums, doinsert ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called heights that represents the height of plants and we have another list of values called costs that represents the price needed to increase height of a plant by one. We have to find the smallest cost to make each height in the heights list different from adjacent heights.So, if the input is like heights = [3, 2, 2] costs = [2, 5, 3], then the output will be 3, as we can increase the last height by 1, which costs 3.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function dp() ...
