Suppose we have a non-negative integer n, and we have to find the encoded form of it. The encoding strategy will be as follows −NumberEncoded number0“”1“0”2“1”3”00”4”01”5”10”6”11”7”000”So if the number is 23, then result will be 1000, if the number is 54, then it will be 10111To solve this, we will follow these steps −Create one method called bin, this will take n and k, this method will act like belowres := empty stringwhile n > 0res := res + the digit of n mod 2n := n /2reverse the number reswhile x > length of resres := prepend 0 with ...

Suppose we have the following details of a matrix with n columns and 2 rows −Matrix elements will be either 0 or 1Sum of elements of the 0-th(upper) row is given as upper.Sum of elements of the 1-st(lower) row is given as lower.Sum of elements in the i-th column(0-indexed) is colsum[i], where colsum is given as an integer array with length n.The task is to reconstruct the matrix with upper, lower and colsum. We have to find it as a 2D integer array. If there are more than one valid solution, any of them will be accepted. If there is ... Read More

Suppose we have an array of strings arr. The string s is a concatenation of a sub-sequence of arr which have unique characters. Find the maximum possible length of s. If the input is like [“cha”, “r”, “act”, “ers”], then the output will be 6, possible solutions are “chaers” and “acters”.To solve this, we will follow these steps −make one method called ok() and this will take strings s and t. This will act like belowmake one map xfor i in range 0 to size of sincrease x[s[i]] by 1if x[s[i]] > 1, then return falsefor i in range 0 ... Read More

Suppose we have 2 integers n and start. Our task is return any permutation p of (0, 1, 2....., 2^n -1) as follows −p[0] = startp[i] and p[i+1] differ by only one bit in their binary representation.p[0] and p[2^n -1] must also differ by only one bit in their binary representation.So if the input is like n = 2 and start = 3, then the returned array will be [3, 2, 0, 1], these are [11, 10, 00, 01]To solve this, we will follow these steps −ans is an arrayfor i in range 0 to 2^ninsert start XOR i XOR ...

Suppose we have a string containing only 4 kinds of characters 'Q', 'W', 'E' and 'R'. A string will be balanced if each of its characters appears n/4 times where n is the length of the string. Find the minimum length of the substring that can be replaced with any other string of the same length to make the original string is balanced. So if s = “QQWE”, then output will be 1. This is because we can replace Q to R, so that “RQWE”, that is balanced.Return 0 if the string is already balanced.To solve this, we will follow ... Read More

Suppose we have an integer array arr and one integer k, we have to change the array by repeating it k times. So if arr = [1, 2] and k = 3 then the modified array will be [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2].Now we have to find the maximum sub-array sum in the modified array. Note that the length of the sub-array can be 0 and its sum in that case is 0. As the answer may be very large, find the answer modulo 10^9 + 7.So if the input is like [1, -2, 1] and k = 5, ...

Suppose there are some transactions. A transaction is possibly invalid if −The amount exceeds $1000, or;If it occurs within (and including) 60 minutes of another transaction with the same name in a different city.Here each transaction string transactions[i] consists of comma separated values representing the name, time (in minutes), amount, and city of the transaction. We have a list of transactions, find a list of transactions that are possibly invalid. So if the input is like ["alice, 20, 800, mtv", "bob, 50, 1200, mtv"], then the answer will be ["bob, 50, 1200, mtv"].To solve this, we will follow these steps ... Read More

Suppose we have one N x N grid containing only values like 0 and 1, where 0 represents water and 1 represents the land, we have to find a water cell such that its distance to the nearest land cell is maximized and return the distance. Here we will use the Manhattan distance − the distance between two cells (x0, y0) and (x1, y1) is |x0 - x1| + |y0 - y1|. If no land or water is present in the grid, then return -1.101000101Then the output will be 2, as the cell (1, 1) is as far as possible ... Read More

Suppose we have a list of queries, and a pattern, we have to return an answer that will be list of booleans, where answer[i] is true if and only if queries[i] matches the pattern. A query word matches a given pattern when we can insert lowercase letters to the pattern word so that it equals the query.So if the input is like ["FooBar", "FooBarTest", "FootBall", "FrameBuffer", "ForceFeedBack"] and pattern = "FB", then the results will be [true, false, true, false, false].To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a method called insertNode(), this takes head and string scurr := ...

Suppose we have two integer sequences A and B of the same non-zero length. We can swap elements A[i] and B[i]. We have to keep in mind that both elements are in the same index position in their respective sequences. After completing some number of swaps, A and B are both strictly increasing. We have to find the minimum number of swaps to make both sequences strictly increasing.So if the input is like A = [1, 3, 5, 4] and B = [1, 2, 3, 7], then the answer will be 1, if we swap A[3] with B[3], then the ...
