Suppose we have two values n and m; we have to find the number of rectangles of size 2x1 that can be set inside a rectangle of size n x m. There are few conditions, that we have to consider −Any two small rectangles cannot overlap.Every small rectangle lies completely inside the bigger one. It is permitted to touch the edges of the bigger rectangle.So, if the input is liken = 3, m = 3, then the output will be 4To solve this, we will follow these steps −if n mod 2 is same as 0, thenreturn(n / 2) * ...

Suppose we have an integer k and also have a tree with n nodes, we have to count the number of distinct pairs of vertices which have a exact k distance.So, if the input is like k = 2then the output will be 4To solve this, we will follow these steps −N := 5005graph := adjacency list of size Nvertex_count := a 2d matrix of size 505 x 5005res := 0Define a function insert_edge() . This will take x, yinsert y at the end of graph[x]insert x at the end of graph[y]Define a function dfs() . This will take v, ... Read More

Suppose we have a binary matrix. We have to count the number of islands in it. An island is place that is surrounded by water and is formed by connecting adjacent lands horizontally or vertically. We can assume that all four edges of the grid are all surrounded by water.Suppose the grid is like −11000110000010000011There are three islands.To solve this, we will follow these steps −There will be two methods, one will be used to count number of islands called numIslands() and makeWater(). The makeWater() will be like −if number of rows in the grid is 0, then return 0n ... Read More

Suppose we have an array with n numbers, we have to return the number of consecutive zero’s at the end after multiplying all the n numbers.So, if the input is like [200, 20, 5, 30, 40, 14], then the output will be 6 as 200 * 20 * 5 * 30 * 40 * 14 = 336000000, there are six 0s at the end.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function count_fact_two() . This will take ncount := 0while n mod 2 is 0, docount := count + 1n := n / 2 (only the quotient as ... Read More

Suppose we have one equation in this form: a + b = c, now any one of the terms of a, b or c is missing. We have to find the missing one.So, if the input is like ? + 4 = 9, then the output will be 5To solve this, we will follow these steps −delete all blank spaces from the string and change (+ and = to comma ', ')elements := a list of elements by splitting the string separated by commaidx := 0for i in range 0 to size of elements, doif elements[i] is not numeric, thenidx ...

Suppose there are n number of cashiers exchanging the money, at the moment, the i-th cashier had ki number of people in front of him/her. Now, the j-th person in the line to i-th cashier had m[i, j] notes. We have to find how early can one exchange his/her notes. We have to keep in mind that the cashier spent 5 seconds to scan a single note.After completing scanning of every note for the customer, he/she took 15 seconds to exchange the notes.So, if the input is like Input : n = 6, k = [12, 12, 12, 12, 12, ...

A python tuple is ordered and unchangeable. But it can also be made up of lists as its elements. Given a tuple made up of lists, let’s find out how many lists are present in the tuple.with len()In this approach we will apply the len function. The len() function will give the count of lists which are the elements of the tuple.Example Live DemotupA = (['a', 'b', 'x'], [21, 19]) tupB = (['n', 'm'], ['z', 'y', 'x'], [3, 7, 89]) print("The number of lists in tupA :" , len(tupA)) print("The number of lists in tupB :" , len(tupB))OutputRunning the above ...

Given a list with sorted numbers, we want to find out which numbers are missing from the given range of numbers.With rangewe can design a for loop to check for the range of numbers and use an if condition with the not in operator to check for the missing elements.Example Live DemolistA = [1, 5, 6, 7, 11, 14] # Original list print("Given list : ", listA) # using range res = [x for x in range(listA[0], listA[-1]+1)                               if x not in listA] # ...

If we have a list containing numbers, we can check if the numbers are contiguous or not and also find which numbers are missing from a range of numbers considering the highest number as the final value.With range and maxWe can design a for loop to check for absence of values in a range using the not in operator. Then capture all these values by adding them to a new list which becomes the result set.Example Live DemolistA = [1, 5, 6, 7, 11, 14] # Original list print("Given list : ", listA) # using range and max res ...
