In this article, we will learn pancake sorting which is a unique way to sort an array by flipping sections of it. The algorithm finds the largest unsorted element, flipping it to the front, and then flipping it to its correct position. Although not the fastest sorting method, it’s an interesting and creative way to learn about problem-solving and data manipulation. This article explains the algorithm in simple steps and shows how to implement it in Java. What is Pancake Sorting? Pancake sorting is a sorting technique that resembles selection sort, i.e. sorting the largest element first thereby reducing the ... Read More

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum sum subsequence with at-least k distant elements.For this we will be provided with an array containing integers and a value K. Our task is to find the subsequence having maximum sum such that all the elements are at least K elements apart.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; //finding maximum sum subsequence int maxSum(int arr[], int N, int k) {    int MS[N];    MS[N - 1] = arr[N - 1];    for (int i = N - 2; i >= 0; i--) {       if (i ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum sum subarray such that start and end values are same.For this we will be provided with an array containing integers. Our task is to find the subarray with the maximum sum such that the elements are both its ends are equal.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; //finding the maximum sum int maxValue(int a[], int n) {    unordered_map first, last;    int pr[n];    pr[0] = a[0];    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {       pr[i] = pr[i - 1] + a[i]; ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum sum possible for a sub-sequence such that no two elements appear at a distance < K in the array.For this we will be provided with an array containing N intergers and a value K. Our task is to find the maximum sum of the subsequence including elements not nearer than K.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; //returning maximum sum int maxSum(int* arr, int k, int n) {    if (n == 0)       return 0;    if (n == 1)       return arr[0];   ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum sum path in a matrix from top to bottom.For this we will be provided with a matrix of N*N size. Our task is to find the maximum sum route from top row to bottom row while moving to diagonally higher cell.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; #define SIZE 10 //finding maximum sum path int maxSum(int mat[SIZE][SIZE], int n) {    if (n == 1)       return mat[0][0];    int dp[n][n];    int maxSum = INT_MIN, max;    for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum sum of smallest and second smallest in an array.For this we will be provided with an array containing integers. Our task is to find the maximum sum of smallest and second smallest elements in every possible iteration of array.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; //returning maximum sum of smallest and //second smallest elements int pairWithMaxSum(int arr[], int N) {    if (N < 2)       return -1;    int res = arr[0] + arr[1];    for (int i=1; i

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum Sum of Products of Two Arrays.For this we will be provided with two arrays of same size. Our task is to find the maximum sum by multiplying exactly one element from first element with one element from the second array.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; //calculating maximum sum by //multiplying elements int maximumSOP(int *a, int *b) {    int sop = 0;    int n = sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]);    sort(a,a+n+1);    sort(b,b+n+1);    for (int i = 0; i

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum sum of pairwise product in an array with negative allowed.For this we will be provided with an array containing integers. Our task is to find the maximum sum while performing pairwise multiplications.Example Live Demo#include #define Mod 1000000007 using namespace std; //finding the maximum sum long long int findSum(int arr[], int n) {    long long int sum = 0;    //sorting the array    sort(arr, arr + n);    int i = 0;    while (i < n && arr[i] < 0) {       if (i ...
