Problem statementGiven an array of n positive elements. we need to find the maximum bitwise AND value generated by any pair of element from the array.ExampleIf input array is {10, 12, 15, 18} then maximum value of bitwise AND is 12.AlgorithmThe result of bitwise AND operations on single bit is maximum when both bits are 1. Considering this property −Start from the MSB and check whether we have minimum of two elements of array having set valueIf yes, then that MSB will be part of our solution and be added to result otherwise we will discard that bitSimilarly, iterating from ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to convert a binary search tree to a min heap.For this we will be provided with a binary search tree. Our task is to convert the given binary search tree into a min heap such that following the condition of the binary search tree when elements are compared with themselves.Example#include using namespace std; //node structure of BST struct Node {    int data;    Node *left, *right; }; //node creation struct Node* getNode(int data) {    struct Node *newNode = new Node;    newNode->data = data;    newNode->left = newNode->right ...

Problem statementGiven four sides of quadrilateral a, b, c, d, find the maximum area of the quadrilateral possible from the given sides.AlgorithmWe can use below Brahmagupta’s formula to solve this problem −√(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)(s-d)In above formula s is semi-perimeter. It is calculated as follows −S = (a + b + c + d) / 2ExampleLet us now see an example −#include using namespace std; double getMaxArea(double a, double b, double c, double d) {    double s = (a + b + c + d) / 2;    double area = (s - a) * (s - b) * (s - ...

Problem statementGiven two same sized arrays A[] and B[]. Task is to form a third array of same size. The result array should have maximum n elements from both array. It should have chosen elements of A[] first, then chosen elements of B[] in same order as they appear in original arrays. If there are common elements, then only one element should be present in res[] and priority should be given to A[]ExampleIf input arrays are −arr1[] = {9, 17, 2, 25, 6} arr2[] = {17, 4, 8, 10, 1} then final array is: {9, 17, 25, 8, 10}Please note ...

Suppose we have a string and we have to find the first unique character in the string. So if the string is like “people”, the first letter whose occurrence is one is ‘o’. So the index will be returned, that is 2 here. If there is no such character, then return -1.To solve this, we will follow these steps −create one frequency mapfor each character c in the string, doif c is not in frequency, then insert it into frequency, and put value 1otherwise, increase the count in frequencyScan the frequency map, if the value of a specific key is ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to convert from any base to a decimal and vice versa.For this we will be provided with an integer and its base. Our task is to convert the number to its decimal equivalent. Further we will also be performing the reverse of this procedure as well.Example#include #include //returning values of a character int val(char c) {    if (c >= '0' && c = 0; i--) {       if (val(str[i]) >= base) {          printf("Invalid Number");          return -1;     ...

Problem statementGiven an array arr[] and two integers X and Y. The task is to find a sub-array of size of at least X and at most Y with the maximum averageExampleIf input array is {2, 10, 15, 7, 8, 4} and x = 3 and Y = 3 then we can obtain maximum average 12.5 as follows −(10 + 15) / 2 = 12.5AlgorithmIterate over every sub-array of size starting from X to size Y and find the maximum average among all such sub-arrays.To reduce the time complexity, we can use prefix sum array to get the sum of ...

Problem statementWe have given a positive number n, and we have to find a 3*3 matrix which can be formed with combination of 0 or n and has maximum determinants.ExampleIf n = 15 then we can create matrix as follows −{{15, 15, 0}{0, 15, 15}{15, 0, 0}}For any 3*3 matrix having elements either 0 or n, the maximum possible determinant is 2 *(n)3. Hence answer is −2 * (15)3 = 6750AlgorithmFor any 3*3 matrix having elements either 0 or n, the maximum possible determinant is 2 *(n)3ExampleLet us now see an example −#include using namespace std; int getMaxDeterminant(int n){ ...
