Here we will see one interesting problem. There is a set of N elements. We have to generate an array such that the GCD of any subset of that array lies in the given set of elements. And another constraint is that the generated array should not be more than thrice the length of the set of the GCD. For example, if there are 4 numbers {2, 4, 6, 12}, then one array will be {2, 2, 4, 2, 6, 2, 12}To solve this problem, we have to sort the list at first, then if the GCD is the same ... Read More

Here we will see one interesting problem. We will take one array, then find the sum by taking each element after dividing it by the previous elements. Let us consider an array is {5, 6, 7, 2, 1, 4}. Then the result will be 5 + (6 / 5) + (7 / 6) + (2 / 7) + (1 / 2) + (4 / 1) = 12.15238. Let us see the algorithm to get the concept.AlgorithmdivSum(arr, n)begin    sum := arr[0]    for i := 1 to n-1, do       sum := sum + arr[i] / arr[i-1]    done    return sum endExample#include using namespace std; float divSum(int arr[], int n){    float sum = arr[0];    for(int i = 1; i

Suppose we have one array. we have to count how many of the elements present in the array prime number of times. So if the array is {1, 2, 2, 0, 1, 5, 2, 5, 0, 0, 1, 1}, then 1 is present 4 times, 2 is present 3 times, 0 is present 3 times, and 5 is present 2 times. So there are three elements {2, 0, 5} that have occurred prime number of times. So the count will be 3.AlgorithmcountPrimeOccurrence(arr, n)Begin    count := 0    define map with int type key and int type value    for ... Read More

Here we will see one problem. We have one array. our task is to find those elements whose frequencies are more than 1. Suppose the elements are {1, 5, 2, 5, 3, 1, 5, 2, 7}. Here 1 has occurred 2 times, 5 has occurred 3 times and 2 has occurred three times, others have occurred only once. So the output will be {1, 5, 2}AlgorithmmoreFreq(arr, n)Begin    define map with int type key and int type value    for each element e in arr, do       increase map.key(arr).value    done    for each key check whether the ...

Here we will see one interesting problem. We are taking one array ‘a’ with N elements. We have to find an element x such that |a[0] - x| + |a[1] - x|+ … + |a[n-1] - x| is minimized. Then we have to find the minimized sum.Let the array is: {1, 3, 9, 6, 3} now the x is 3. So the sum is |1 - 3| + |3 - 3| + |9 - 3| + |6 - 3| + |3 - 3| = 11.To solve this problem, we have to choose the median of the array as x. If ... Read More

Suppose we have an array that has n elements from 1 to n in shuffled order. Another integer K is given. There are N peoples they are standing in a queue to play badminton. The first two players will go for playing, then the loser will go and place at the end of the queue. The winner will play with the next person from the queue and so on. They will play until someone wins K times consecutively. Then that player becomes the winner.If the queue is like [2, 1, 3, 4, 5] and K = 2, then output will ... Read More

Suppose we have a string with n elements (n < 10). We have to find the number of ways that the string can be arranged without changing the relative position of the vowel and consonants.The approach is simple. We have to count the number of vowels and consonants in the given string, then we have to find how many ways we can arrange the vowels only, then find the number of ways to arrange the consonant only, after that multiply these two results to get the total ways.AlgorithmarrangeWayCount(str)Begin    define an array ‘freq’ to store frequency.    count and place ...

We have the first N natural numbers. Our task is to get one permutation of them where the absolute difference between every two consecutive elements is > 1. If no such permutation is present, return -1.The approach is simple. We will use the greedy approach. We will arrange all odd numbers in increasing or decreasing order, then arrange all even numbers in decreasing or increasing orderAlgorithmarrangeN(n)Begin    if N is 1, then return 1    if N is 2 or 3, then return -1 as no such permutation is not present    even_max and odd_max is set as max even ...

Here we will see how to calculate the area of Reuleaux Triangle like below. The Reuleaux Triangle has one equilateral triangle inside it. Suppose its height is h, this shape is made by the intersection of three circles.There are three circular sectors. The area of each sector is −Since the area of the equilateral triangle is added three times, then we have to subtract them. So the final area is −Example#include #include using namespace std; float areaReuleaux(float h) {    if (h < 0) //if h is negative it is invalid    return -1;    float area = ... Read More

Here we will see how to get the area of an n-sided regular polygon whose radius is given. Here the radius is the distance from the center of any vertex. To solve this problem, we have drawn one perpendicular from the center to one side. Let each side is of length ‘a’. The perpendicular is dividing the side into two parts. The length of each part is a/2. The perpendicular and one radius is making an angle x. Let the length of the radius is h.Here we can see that the polygon is divided into N equal triangles. So for ...
