We are given a string, and our goal is to reverse all the words which are present in the string. We can use the split method and reversed function to achieve the output. Let's see some sample test cases.Input: string = "I am a python programmer" Output: programmer python a am IInput: string = "tutorialspoint is a educational website" Output: website educational a is tutorialspointLet's follow the below steps to achieve our goal.Algorithm1. Initialize the string. 2. Split the string on space and store the resultant list in a variable called words. 3. Reverse the list words using reversed function. ... Read More

Problem statementGiven N number of students and an array which represent the mark obtained by students. School has dicided to give them teddy as a price. Hoever, school wants to save money, so they to minimize the total number of teddies to be distrubuted by imposing following constrain −All students must get atleast one teddyIf two students are sitting next to each other then student with the higher marks must get moreIf two students have same marks then they are allowed to get different number of teddiesExampleLet us suppose there are 3 students and marks obtained are represented in array ...

Problem statementGiven an array of n elements. The task is to create n/2 pairs in such a way that sum of squares of n/2 pairs is minimal.ExampleIf given array is −arr[] = {5, 10, 7, 4} then minimum sum of squares is 340 if we create pairs as (4, 10) and ( 5, 7)Algorithm1. Sort the array 2. Take two variables which point to start and end index of an array 3. Calulate sum as follows:    sum = arr[start] + arr[end];    sum = sum * sum; 4. Repeate this procedure till start < end and increment minSum as ... Read More

DescriptionAplha-Beta pruning is a optimization technique used in minimax algorithm. The idea benind this algorithm is cut off the branches of game tree which need not to be evaluated as better move exists already.This algorithm introduces two new fields −Alpha − This is best value(maximum) that maximizer player can guaratee at current level or its above levelBeta − This is the best value(minimum) that minimizer player can guaratee at the current level or its above level.ExampleIf game tree is −arr [] = {13, 8, 24, -5, 23, 15, -14, -20}then optimal value will be 13 if maximizer plays firstAlgorithm1.

We have a set of elements. And a product K. The task is to check whether there exist two numbers in the linked list, whose product is same as K. If there are two numbers, then print them, if there are more than two numbers, then print any of them. Suppose the linked list is like this {2, 4, 8, 12, 15}, and k value is 16. then it will return (2, 8)We will solve this using the hashing technique. Take one hash table, and mark all elements as 0. Now iteratively mark all elements as 1 in hash table, ... Read More

We have one matrix of order N x M. And a product K. The task is to check whether a pair with the given product is present in the matrix or not.Suppose a matrix is like below −12345678910111213141516Now if the K is 42, then there is a pair like (6, 7)To solve this problem, we will use hashing. We will create hash table by taking all elements of the matrix. We will start traversing the matrix, while traversing, check whether the current element of the matrix is divisible by the given product, and when the product K is divided by ... Read More

Suppose there are two numbers. We have to check whether a number is divisible by all of the prime factors or the second number or not. Suppose a number is 120. The prime factors are {2, 3, 5}, another number is 75, here the prime factors are {3, 5}. As 120 is divisible by 3 and 5 also, then the decision is yes.If one number is 1, then it has no prime divisors, so answer is True. Otherwise we have to find the GCD of these two numbers. If GCD is 1, then they are co-prime. So answer is false. ... Read More

Here we will see whether a number is Bleak or not. A number is said to be bleak if it cannot be represented as sum of a positive number x and set bit count in x. So x + set_bit_count(x) is not equal to n , for any non-negative number x.The concept is very simple, if the set bit count + the number is not same as the number, then that is Bleak, otherwise it is not.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; int set_bit_count(int x) {    unsigned int bit_count = 0;    while (x != 0) {     ...

Here we will see a number is unusual number or not. A number is said to be unusual if the greatest prime factor of the number is strictly greater than square root of the number. Some of the unusual numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, 43, 44, 46To solve this, we will try to find the largest prime factor, then check whether the factor is greater than square root of the number or not. If yes, ... Read More

We have a list L, with n elements. We have to check whether the list is pairwise sorted or not. Suppose the list is like {8, 10, 18, 20, 5, 15}. This is pairwise sorted as (8, 10), (18, 20), (5, 15) are sorted. If the list has odd number of elements, then last one will be ignored.The approach is too simple, traverse the number from left to right. Two consecutive elements are taken, and check whether they are sorted or not, if any one pair is not sorted, return false, if no pair is found, that is unsorted, return ... Read More
