Suppose we have two integers representing the numerator and denominator of a fraction, we have to find fraction in string format. If the fractional part is repeating, enclose the repeating part in parentheses. So if the numerator is 2 and denominator is 3, then the output will be “0.(6)”To solve this, we will follow these steps −if numerator is 0, then return 0define one array ansif the numerator < 0 and denominator > 0 or numerator 0 and denominator < 0, then insert negative symbol ‘-’ into the ans arraydivisor := |numerator| and dividend := |denominator|, remainder := divisor mod ...

Suppose we have a list, we have to sort this in O(n logn) time using constant space complexity, so if the list is like [4, 2, 1, 3], then it will be [1, 2, 3, 4]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a method for merging two lists in sorted, order, that method is merge(), this takes two lists l1 and l2.The sort list method will work like below −if head is null, or next of head is null, then return headslow := head, fast := head, and prev = nullwhile fast is not null and next of ...

Suppose we have a linked list like l1 -> l2 -> l3 -> l4 -> … -> l(n-1) -> ln. We have to rearrange this list into the form l1 -> ln -> l2 -> l(n - 1) -> … and so on. Here the constraint is that, we cannot modify the values in the list nodes, only the node itself may be changed. So for example, if the list is like [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], then the output will be [1, 5, 2, 4, 3]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a method called reverse to ... Read More

Suppose we have a binary tree; we have to flatten it into linked list in place. So if the tree is like −The output tree will be −To solve this, we will follow these steps −ser prev := nullDefine a recursive function solve(), that will take root as input.if root is null, then returnsolve(right of root)solve(left of root)right of root := prev, left of root := nullprev := rootLet us see the following implementation to get better understanding −Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; class TreeNode{    public:    int val;    TreeNode *left, *right;    TreeNode(int data){     ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand thread functions in C/C++.Thread functions allow users to implement concurrent functions at the same time, which can either be dependent on each other for execution or independent.Example#include #include #include void* func(void* arg){    //detaching the current thread    pthread_detach(pthread_self());    printf("Inside the thread");    pthread_exit(NULL); } void fun(){    pthread_t ptid;    //creating a new thread    pthread_create(&ptid, NULL, &func, NULL);    printf("This line may be printed before thread terminates");    if(pthread_equal(ptid, pthread_self())       printf("Threads are equal");    else       printf("Threads are ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand templates and static variables in C++.In case of function and class templates, each instance of the templates has its own local copy of the variables.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; template void fun(const T& x){    static int i = 10;    cout

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand Template specialization in C++.Standard functions like sort() can be used with any data types and they behave the same with each of them. But if you want to set a special behaviour of the function for a particular data type (even user defined), we can use template specialization.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; template void fun(T a) {    cout

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand swapping of subranges of different containers in C++.For this we will be provided with vectors and lists, and we need to swap some of their elements.Example Live Demo#include #include #include #include using namespace std; int main(){    vector v = { -10, -15, -30, 20, 500 };    list lt = { 10, 50, 30, 100, 50 };    swap_ranges(v.begin(), v.begin() + 3, lt.begin());    for (int n : v)       cout

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand how to sum two integers without using arithmetic operators in C/C++.For adding two integers without using arithmetic operators, we can do this with either using pointers or using bitwise operators.ExampleUsing pointers#include using namespace std; int sum(int a, int b){    int *p = &a;    return (int)&p[b]; } int main() {    int add = sum(2,3);    cout

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand how to store a Data triplet in a vector in C++.To store three elements in a single cell of a vector we will creating a user defined structure and then make a vector from that user defined structure.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; struct Test{    int x, y, z; }; int main(){    //creating a vector of user defined structure    vector myvec;    //inserting values    myvec.push_back({2, 31, 102});    myvec.push_back({5, 23, 114});    myvec.push_back({9, 10, 158});    int s = myvec.size();    for (int i=0;i
