To find the largest string formed by choosing words from a given sentence, a user should know about the lexicographically largest string. A lexicographically largest string is a string, when sorted alphabetically, it would appear at the last if we form all possible strings from the selected words. For example: {lion, zebra, apple} will be lexicographically sorted as {apple, lion, zebra}. In this article, we have been given a string and a pattern. Based on this pattern, we have to find the lexicographically largest string matching the given pattern by choosing words from the sentence using C. Here is ...

In C programming, counting alphabetic and alphanumeric strings from an array involves checking each character in every string. An alphabetic string contains only letters (a-z, A-Z), while an alphanumeric string contains both letters and digits (0-9). Syntax int isAlphabetic(char str[]); int isAlphanumeric(char str[]); void countStrings(char arr[][MAX_LEN], int n); Algorithm The approach to solve this problem involves the following steps − Step 1 − Iterate through each string in the array Step 2 − Check each character to determine if string is alphabetic or alphanumeric Step 3 − Count occurrences and maintain frequency ...

In C programming, we need to find the count of "10" subsequences for each '1' in a string that contains A individual 1s, B "10" substrings, and C individual 0s. This problem involves counting subsequences where each '1' can pair with available '0' characters. Syntax long long maximumSubSeq(int A, int B, int C); Problem Understanding Given three parameters − A − Number of standalone '1' characters B − Number of "10" substrings C − Number of standalone '0' characters We need to count all possible "10" subsequences from the concatenated string. ...

The aim of this article is to implement a program to convert a string Str1 to Str2 by moving B to right and A to left without crossover. In this problem, we have two strings where characters 'A' can only move left, characters 'B' can only move right, and empty spaces are represented by '#'. The key constraint is that 'A' and 'B' characters cannot cross over each other during movement. Syntax bool moveRobots(char str1[], char str2[]); Examples Example 1 Input: str1 = "#B#A#", str2 = "##BA#" Output: Yes ...

C Program to Find Minimum Insertions to Form a Palindrome

A palindrome is a string that reads the same forwards and backwards. Given a string, we need to find the minimum number of character insertions required to make it a palindrome. We will explore three approaches − recursive, memoization, and dynamic programming. Syntax int minInsertions(char str[], int start, int end); Method 1: Recursive Approach The recursive approach compares characters from both ends. If they match, we move inward; otherwise, we try inserting at either end and take the minimum ? #include #include #include int findMin(int a, int b) ...

Roman numerals are characters used in a numeric notation system based on the ancient Roman system. In this tutorial, we'll convert Roman numeral strings to decimal values in the range 1 to 3999. Roman Numeral System Roman numerals follow descending order but use subtractive notation to avoid four consecutive characters. Here are the main symbols − SYMBOL VALUE M 1000 CM 900 D 500 CD 400 C 100 XC 90 L 50 XL 40 X 10 ...

A rectangular array called a matrix is made up of rows and columns. And circular rotations entail rotating the array's elements so that after one rotation, the last member is in the first position and the other elements are shifted to the right. We are given an N*N matrix in this problem, and our objective is to determine whether all of the rows are circular rotations of one another. If they are, print "YES, " otherwise print "NO." In order to better understand the issue, let's look at some cases with explanations below. Input 1 mat ...

Multilevel Indexes

In RDBMS, indexes are data structures that speed up data retrieval by reducing disk accesses. As databases grow, single-level indexes become too large for main memory. Multilevel indexes solve this by dividing the index into a hierarchy of smaller, manageable blocks. Index Components Search Key Sorted primary/candidate key points to Data Reference Pointer to disk ...

Difference between Inverted Index and Forward Index

Updated on 14-Mar-2026 2K+ Views

Inverted Index and Forward Index are data structures used to search text within a document or a collection of documents. They differ in how they map the relationship between words and documents − one indexes by word, the other by document. Forward Index A forward index stores the document name as the key and maps it to the list of words contained in that document. It answers the question: "What words does this document contain?" Inverted Index An inverted index stores each word as the key and maps it to the list of documents that contain ...

Updated on 14-Mar-2026 21K+ Views

Data structures are classified into linear and non-linear based on how their elements are arranged and connected. Understanding this distinction is fundamental to choosing the right data structure for a given problem. Linear Data Structures A linear data structure has data elements arranged in a sequential manner where each element is connected to its previous and next element. This sequential connection allows traversal in a single run. Linear data structures are easy to implement because computer memory is also organized sequentially. Examples include Array, List, Queue, and Stack. Non-linear Data Structures A non-linear data structure has ...
