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 ...

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 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 an array nums of integers, we need to find the maximum possible sum of elements of the given array such that it is divisible by three. So if the input is like [3, 6, 5, 1, 8], then the output will be 18, as the subarray is [3, 6, 1, 8], and the sum is 18, that is divisible by 3.To solve this, we will follow these steps −n := size of nums arraycreate one 2d array dp of size (n + 1) x 3set dp[0, 0] := 0, dp[0, 1] := -inf, dp[0, 2] := inffor ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Suppose we have two integers tomatoSlices and cheeseSlices. These are the ingredients of different burgers −Jumbo Burger: 4 tomato slices and 1 cheese slice.Small Burger: 2 Tomato slices and 1 cheese slice.We have to find [total_jumbo, total_small] so that the number of tomatoSlices that are left is equal to 0 and the number of cheeseSlices that are left is also 0. If it is not possible to make the remaining tomatoSlices and cheeseSlices equal to 0 return []. So if the input is tomatoSlices = 16 and chesseSlices = 7, then the output will be [1, 6]. So this indicates, ...

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 ...
