We are given a num number as input. The goal is to count the number of possible strings of length num such that all adjacent characters have difference between ascii values as 1.If num is 2 then strings will be “ab”, “ba”, “bc”, “cb”, ……..”yz”, “zy”.Let us understand with examplesInput − num=3Output − Count of strings where adjacent characters are of difference one are − 98Explanation − Some sample strings are: “abc”, “aba”, “cde” …..”xyx”, “zyz”, “xyz”.Input − num=2Output − Count of strings where adjacent characters are of difference one are − 50Explanation − Some sample strings are: “ab”, “ba”, ...

Suppose we are playing a unique game and we have three values n, k, and h. We start from 0 points, then we can select a number randomly between 1 and h (inclusive) and we will get that many points. We stop when we have scored a minimum of k points. We have to find the probability that we have n or fewer points. Here any number can be chosen randomly and the outcomes all have the same probability.So, if the input is like n = 2, k = 2, h = 10, then the output will be 0.11.To solve ...

Given an array of numbers and a stack. All the elements of the array are present inside the stack The goal is to find the count of pop operations required for getting individual array elements.The stack is filled in decreasing order, the first element is highest and top element is lowest.For ExampleInputStack [ 7, 6, 2, 1 ] array : 2, 1, 6, 7OutputCount of number of pop operations on stack to get each element of the array are: 3 1 0 0ExplanationTraversing array from 0th index, To get 2 we will pop stack three times. So arr[0] is 3. ...

Suppose we have a string s, we have to check whether we can split it into four sub-strings such that each of them are non-empty and unique.So, if the input is like s = "helloworld", then the output will be True as one of the possible set of sub-strings are ["hel", "lo", "wor", "ld"]To solve this, we will follow these steps −if size of s >= 10, thenreturn Truefor i in range 1 to size of s - 1, dofor j in range i + 1 to size of s - 1, dofor k in range j + 1 to ...

Suppose, we have a car and are driving it on a one−dimensional road. Currently we are at position = 0 and with speed = 1. We can perform any of these two operations.Acceleration: position := position + speed and speed := speed * 2 Reverse Gear: speed := −1 when speed > 0 otherwise speed := 1.We have to find the number of moves needed at least to reach the target.So, if the input is like target = 10, then the output will be 7.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function dfs() . This will take ...

Given two integers A and B and a number X. The goal is to find the count of values that X can have so that A%X=B. For the above equation if, A==B then infinite values of X are possible, so return −1. If A < B then there would be no solution so return 0. If A>B then return count of divisors of (AB) as result.For ExampleInputA=5, B=2OutputCount of all possible values of X such that A % X = B are: 1Explanation5%3=2. So X is 3 here.InputA=10, B=10OutputCount of all possible values of X such that A % X ...

In this problem, we are given a linked-list and a number k. Our task is to find kth node from Middle towards the Head of a Linked List. Let’s take an example to understand the problem,  Input: linked-list : 4 -> 2 -> 7 -> 1 -> 9 -> 12 -> 8 -> 10 -> 5, k = 2Output: 7Explanation: Middle node value is 9.The 2nd node from middle towards head is 7.Solution ApproachWe need to find kth element from the middle of the linked-list towards the beginning. For this we need to find the size of linked-list by traversing the linked-list from beginning ...

Suppose, we have a lowercase string s that contains letters and parentheses "(" and ")". We have to reverse every string enclosed within parentheses in a recursive manner and return the resultant string.So, if the input is like s = "back(aps)ce", then the output will be “backspace”.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function trav() . This will take s, dir, start, close:= close, ans:= ansend := "(" if dir is same as −1, otherwise ")"other := "(" if end is same as ")", otherwise ")"while start < size of s, and s[start] is not same as ...
