In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum possible middle element of the array after deleting exactly k elementsFor this we will be provided with an array of size N and an integer K. Our task is to reduce K elements from the array such that the middle element of the resulting array is maximum.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; //calculating maximum value of middle element int maximum_middle_value(int n, int k, int arr[]) {    int ans = -1;    int low = (n + 1 - k) / 2;    int high = (n + ...

For many programs getting the keys from a dictionary is important input to be used by some other program which rely on this dictionary. In this article we are going to see how to capture the keys as a list.Using dict.keysThis is a very direct method of accessing the keys. This method is available as a in-built method.Example Live DemoAdict = {1:'Sun', 2:'Mon', 3:'Tue', 4:'Wed'} print("The given dictionary is : ", Adict) print(list(Adict.keys()))OutputRunning the above code gives us the following result −The given dictionary is :    {1: 'Sun', 2: 'Mon', 3: 'Tue', 4: 'Wed'} [1, 2, 3, 4]Using *The ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum possible intersection by moving centers of line segmentsFor this we will be provided with the center of three line segments and their length. Our task is to move their center by K distance to increase the length of intersection region.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; //finding maximum intersection int max_intersection(int* center, int length, int k) {    sort(center, center + 3);    if (center[2] - center[0] >= 2 * k + length) {       return 0;    }    else if (center[2] - center[0] >= 2 ...

A Python list can also contain sublist. A sublist itself is a list nested within a bigger list. In this article we will see how to count the number of unique sublists within a given list.Using CounterCounter is a subclass of Dictionary and used to keep track of elements and their count. It is also considered as an unordered collection where elements are stored as Dict keys and their count as dict value. So in the below example we directly take a list which has sublists.Example Live Demofrom collections import Counter # Given List Alist = [['Mon'], ['Tue', 'Wed'], ['Tue', 'Wed']] ... Read More

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum possible difference of two subsets of an arrayFor this we will be provided with an array containing one or two instances of few random integers. Our task is to create two subsets of that array such that the difference of their sum is maximum and no subset contains repetitive numbers.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; //finding maximum subset difference int maxDiff(int arr[], int n) {    int SubsetSum_1 = 0, SubsetSum_2 = 0;    for (int i = 0; i

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum points of intersection n linesFor this we will be provided with a number of straight lines. Our task is to find the maximum number of intersections the given number of lines meet.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; #define ll long int //finding maximum intersection points ll countMaxIntersect(ll n) {    return (n) * (n - 1) / 2; } int main() {    ll n = 8;    cout

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum points of intersection n circlesFor this we will be provided with the number of circles. Our task is to find the maximum number of intersections the given number of circles meet.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; //returning maximum intersections int intersection(int n) {    return n * (n - 1); } int main() {    cout

While using Python dictionary we may need to identify each element of the dictionary uniquely. For that we have to assign unique IDs to each of the element in the dictionary. In this article we will see how to assign the same unique Id to an element if it is repeated in a Python dictionary.With enumerate() and OrderedDict.fromkeys()The enumerate function expands a given dictionary by adding a counter to each element of the dictionary. Then we apply the OrderedDict.fromkeys() which will extract the same value of the counter from the dictionary hence eliminating the duplicates values of IDs.Example Live Demofrom collections ...

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum points from top left of matrix to bottom right and return backFor this we will be provided with matrix consisting of #-blocked path, *-points, .- allowed path. Our task is to go from one corner to another (right and below moves) and come back (left and top moves) such as to collect maximum pointsExample Live Demo#include #define MAX 5 #define N 5 #define M 5 #define inf 100000 using namespace std; //calculating points int cost(char grid[][M], int row1, int col1, int row2, int col2) {    if (row1 ...
