Suppose we have a string s, we have to find the count of contiguous substrings that have the same number of 0's and 1's, and all the 0's and all the 1's in these substrings are grouped consecutively. If substrings occur multiple times are counted the number of times they occur.So, if the input is like "11001100", then the output will be 6, as the substrings are "1100", "10", "0011", "01", "1100", "10".To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define an array cnt of size 2 and fill this with 0res := 0for initialize i := 0, when i ...

Suppose we have a positive integer, we have to check whether it has alternating bits − so, two adjacent bits will always have different values.So, if the input is like 10, then the output will be True, as binary representation of 10 is 1010.To solve this, we will follow these steps −p := n AND 1if n < 2, then −return truen := n/2while n is non-zero, do −c := n AND 1if c XOR p is same as 0, then −return falsep := cn := n/2return trueLet us see the following implementation to get better understanding −Example Live Demo#include ...

The Counting Sort counts the number of objects having distinct key values. Let us see an example −Note − The below code can be used with negative numbers as well.Example Live Demoimport java.util.*; public class Demo{    static void count_sort(int[] arr){       int max_val = Arrays.stream(arr).max().getAsInt();       int min_val = Arrays.stream(arr).min().getAsInt();       int range = max_val - min_val + 1;       int count[] = new int[range];       int result[] = new int[arr.length];       for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){          count[arr[i] - min_val]++; ...

Suppose we have a data structure of employee information, there are employee's unique id, his importance value and his direct subordinates' id. As an example, employee 1 is the leader of employee 2, and employee 2 is the leader of employee 3. And suppose their importance values are 15, 10 and 5, respectively. Then employee 1 has a data structure like [1, 15, [2]], and employee 2 has [2, 10, [3]], and employee 3 has [3, 5, []].So, if we have the employee information of a company, and an employee id, we have to find the total importance value of ...

Suppose we have a baseball game point recorder. We have a list of strings; each string can be one of the 4 following types −Integer (one round's score) − Indicates the number of points we get in this round."+" (one round's score) − Indicates the points we get in this round are the sum of the last two valid round's points."D" (one round's score ) − Indicates the points we get in this round are the doubled data of the last valid round's points."C" (an operation, which isn't a round's score) − Indicates the last valid round's points we get ...

Suppose we have an array of integers; we have to find the length of longest continuous increasing subarray.So, if the input is like [2,4,6,5,8], then the output will be 3. As the longest continuous increasing subsequence is [2,4,6], and its length is 3.To solve this, we will follow these steps −if size of nums

Suppose there is a non-empty special binary tree with some non-negative value, here each node in this tree has exactly two or zero children. If the node has two children, then this node's value is the smaller value among its two children. In other words, we can say that [root.val = minimum of root.left.val, root.right.val]. If we have such binary tree, we have to find the second minimum value in the set made of all the nodes' value in the whole tree. If there is no such element, then return -1 instead.So, if the input is likethen the output will ... Read More

Binary insertion sort uses the binary search to find the right position to insert an element at a specific index at every iteration. First, the location where the element needs to be inserted is found. Then, the elements are shifted to the next right location. Now, the specific element is placed in the position. Problem Statement Given an integer of array implement binary insertion sort using Java to sort it. The algorithm should use binary search to determine the correct position for each element and to maintain the sorted order it will shift elements accordingly. Steps for Binary Insertion ...

Suppose we have a binary tree we have to make a string consists of parenthesis and integers from a binary tree with the preorder traversing way. A null node will be represented by empty parenthesis pair "()". And we need to omit all the empty parenthesis pairs that don't affect the one-to-one mapping relationship between the string and the original binary tree.So, if the input is likethen the output will be 5(6()(8))(7)To solve this, we will follow these steps −ans := blank stringDefine a function pot(). This will take node, sif is null, thenreturn blank stringif if left or right ... Read More

In this article, we will learn to perform cocktail sorting in Java. Cocktail Sort, also known as Bidirectional Bubble Sort, is a variation of the standard Bubble Sort algorithm. What is Cocktail Sort? Cocktail Sort works in contrast to bubble sort, wherein elements are iterated from left to right, and the largest element is first brought to its correct position, and so on. In cocktail sort, elements are iterated over in both directions (left and right) in an alternating fashion. Cocktail Sort Working Following are the steps to perform cocktail sort in Java − Traverse ... Read More
