Shifting Letters in C++
Suppose we have a string S of lowercase letters, and an integer array shifts. The shift of a letter means the next letter in the alphabet, for z, it will be a. Now for each shifts[i] = x, we want to shift the first i+1 letters of S, x times. We have to find the final string after all such shifts to S are applied. So if the string is “abc” and shifts = [3, 5, 9], then after shifting the first 1 letter of S by 3, will have “dbc”, shifting first two letters of S by 5, we ...
Read MorePizza With 3n Slices in C++
Suppose there is a pizza with 3n slices of varying size, I and my two friends will take slices of pizza as follows −I shall pick any pizza slice.My friend Amal will pick next slice in anti clockwise direction of my pick.My friend Bimal will pick next slice in clockwise direction of my pick.Repeat these steps until there are no more slices of pizzas.Sizes of Pizza slices is represented by circular array slices in clockwise direction. We have to find the maximum possible sum of slice sizes which I can have.So, if the input is like [9, 8, 6, 1, ...
Read MoreCar Fleet in C++
Suppose there are N cars that are going to the same destination along a one lane road. The destination is ‘target’ miles away. Now each car i has a constant speed value speed[i] (in miles per hour), and initial position is position[i] miles towards the target along the road.A car can never pass another car ahead of it, but it can catch up to it, and drive bumper to bumper at the same speed. Here the distance between these two cars is ignored - they are assumed to have the same position. A car fleet is some non-empty set of ...
Read MoreMax Points on a Line in C++
Suppose we have a 2D plane. We have to find the maximum number of points that reside on the same straight line. So if the points are like −Then there are 4 pointsTo solve this, we will follow these steps −n := number of points, if n < 3, then return nans := 2for i in range 1 to n – 1count := 0take two points from index i and i – 1, these are p1, p2if p1 and p2 points are same, thenfor j in range 0 to n – 1if points[j].x = p1.x and points[j].y = p1.y, then ...
Read MoreLongest Happy Prefix in C++
Suppose we have a string s, we have to find the longest happy prefix of s. A string is called a happy prefix if is a non-empty prefix which is also a suffix (excluding itself). If there is no such happy prefix, then simply return blank string.So, if the input is like "madam", then the output will be "m", it has 4 prefixes excluding itself. These are "m", "ma", "mad", "mada" and 4 suffixes like "m", "am", "dam", "adam". The largest prefix which is also suffix is given by "m".To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function ...
Read MoreScore of Parentheses in C++
Suppose we have a balanced parentheses string S, we have to compute the score of the string based on the following rule −The () has score 1AB has score A + B, where A and B are two balanced parentheses strings.(A) has score 2 * A, where A is a balanced parentheses string.So if the input is like “(()(()))”, then the output will be 6.To solve this, we will follow these steps −ans := 0, define a stack stfor i in range 0 to size of string Sif S[i] is opening parentheses, then insert -1 into stackotherwiseif top of stack ...
Read MoreFind All Good Strings in C++
Suppose we have two strings s1 and s2. The size of these strings is n, and we also have another string called evil. We have to find the number of good strings.A string is called good when its size is n, it is alphabetically greater than or equal to s1, it is alphabetically smaller than or equal to s2, and it has no evil as a substring. The answer may be very large, so return the answer modulo 10^9 + 7.So, if the input is like n = 2, s1 = "bb", s2 = "db", evil = "a", then the ...
Read MoreMirror Reflection in C++
Suppose there is a special square room with mirrors on each of the four walls. In each corner except the southwest corner, there are receptors. These are numbered as 0, 1, and 2. Now the square room has walls of length p, and a laser ray from the southwest corner first meets the east wall at a distance q from the 0th receptor. We have to find the number of the receptor that the ray meets first.So if p = 2, and q = 1, then the case will be like −So the output will be 2, as the ray ...
Read MoreReducing Dishes in C++
Suppose there is a chef. And he has collected data on the satisfaction level of his n dishes. The Chef can cook any dish in 1 unit of time. Like-time coefficient of a dish is actually the time takento cook that dish including previous dishes multiplied by its satisfaction level So time[i]*satisfaction[i].We have to find the maximum sum of Like-time coefficient that the chef can obtain after dishes preparation. Dishes can be ready in any order and the chef can discard some dishes to get this maximum value.So, if the input is like [-1, -7, 0, 6, -7], then the ...
Read MoreDungeon Game in C++
Suppose there is a story like the demons had captured the princess whose name is P and imprisoned her in the bottom-right corner of a dungeon. The dungeon consists of M row, N column grid-like rooms. Our valiant knight named K was initially positioned in the top-left room and must fight his way through the dungeon to rescue the princess.Now the knight has an initial health point represented by a positive integer. If at any point his health point drops to 0 or below, he dies at that moment.Some of the rooms have demons to guard that room, so the ...
