Shortest Way to Form String in C++

Suppose we have a string, we can form a subsequence of that string by deleting some number of characters (possibly no deletions). So if there is two strings source and target, we have to find the minimum number of subsequences of source such that their concatenation equals target. If the task is impossible, then return -1. So if source is “abc” and target is “abcbc”, then the output will be 2.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a string called possible, this will take s and t as inputcreate a map mfor each character c in s mark ...

Suppose we have an array of prices P [p1, p2..., pn] and a target value, we have to round each price Pi to Roundi(Pi) so that the rounded array [Round1(P1), Round2(P2)..., Roundn(Pn)] sums to the given target value. Here each operation Roundi(pi) could be either Floor(Pi) or Ceil(Pi).We have to return the string "-1" if the rounded array is impossible to sum to target. Otherwise, return the smallest rounding error, which will be (as a string with three places after the decimal) defined as −$\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i-1}^n |Round_{i} (???? ) - ????$So if the input is like [“0.700”, “2.800”, “4.900”], and the ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand the various merge operations using STL in C++.The merge() function is used to merge two sorted containers in a way that the new container is also sorted. Further includes() is used to check if the elements from first container are present in the second one.Example#include #include #include using namespace std; int main(){    vector v1 = {1, 3, 4, 5, 20, 30};    vector v2 = {1, 5, 6, 7, 25, 30};    //initializing resultant vector    vector v3(12);    merge(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin(),    v2.end(), v3.begin());    cout

Lexicographically Smallest Equivalent String in C++

Suppose we have strings A and B of the same length, now we can say A[i] and B[i] are equivalent characters. So for example, if A = "abc" and B = "cde", then we have 'a' = 'c', 'b' = 'd' and 'c' = 'e'. The equivalent characters follow the usual rules of any equivalence relation:Reflexivity: 'a' = 'a'Symmetry: 'a' = 'b' implies 'b' = 'a'Transitivity: 'a' = 'b' and 'b' = 'c' implies 'a' = 'c'Now for example, given the equivalency information from A and B above, S = "eed", "acd", and "aab" are equivalent strings, and "aab" is ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand operator overloading in C++ to print contents of vector, map and pair.Operator overloading is the function of operators which gives them the ability to act on User defined objects and work accordingly in a similar fashion.ExampleVector#include #include using namespace std; template ostream& operator

Swap For Longest Repeated Character Substring in C++

Suppose we have a string text, so we are allowed to swap two of the characters in the string. We have to find the length of the longest substring with repeated characters. So if the input is like “ababa”, then the result will be 3, as if we swap first b with last a, or the last b with first a, then the longest repeated character will be “aaa”, so the length is 3.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a map cnt, set ret := 1, j := 0, n := size of text, v := 0, ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand the order of constructor/ destructor in C++.Order of constructor/destructor refers to the pattern in which the constructors of various classes are called during inheritance of classes.Example#include using namespace std; //parent class class Parent{    public:    Parent(){       cout

Suppose we have given the head of a linked list; we have to repeatedly delete consecutive sequences of nodes that sum to 0 until there are no such sequences. So after doing so, we have to return the head of the final linked list. So if the list is like [1, 2, -3, 3, 1], then the result will be [3, 1].To solve this, we will follow these steps −Create a node called dummy, and store 0 into it, set next of dummy := headcreate one map m, store dummy for the key 0 into m, set sum = 0while ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand ordered set and GNU C++ PBDS.Ordered set is a policy based structure other than those in the STL library. The ordered set keeps all the elements in a sorted order and doesn’t allow duplicate values.Example#include using namespace std; #include #include using namespace __gnu_pbds; #define ordered_set tree int main(){    //declaring ordered set    ordered_set o_set;    o_set.insert(5);    o_set.insert(1);    o_set.insert(2);    cout
