In this article, lets see try to find the sum of elements in a list. For a given integer list, the program should return the sum of all elements of the list. For an example let's consider list_1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] the output of the program should be 15. Following are the different types of approaches to find the sum of elements in a list − Iterating through loops Using Recursion Using sum() function By ... Read More

In this article, we will learn about the solution and approach to solve the given problem statement.Problem statementGiven an array as an input, we need to compute the sum of the given array.Here we may follow the brute-force approach i.e. traversing over a list and adding each element to an empty sum variable. Finally, we display the value of the sum.We can also perform an alternate approach using built-in sum function as discussed below.Example# main arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] ans = sum(arr, n) print ('Sum of the array is ', ans)Output15 All the variables & functions are ...

In this article, we will learn about the solution and approach to solve the given problem statement.Problem statementGiven a list input , we need to find the sum of absolute difference between all pairs in a list.Enumerate() method adds a counter to an iterable and returns it in a form of enumerate object type.In this method, we have a list ‘diffs’ which contains the absolute difference.We use two loops having two variables initialized . One is to iterate through the counter and another for the list element. In every iteration, we check whether the elements are similar or not.If not, ... Read More

In this article, we will learn about the solution and approach to solve the given problem statement.Problem statementGiven list input, we need to find the largest numbers in the given list .Here we will discuss two approachesUsing sorting techniquesUsing built-in max() functionApproach 1 − Using built-in sort() functionExample Live Demolist1 = [18, 65, 78, 89, 90] list1.sort() # main print("Largest element is:", list1[-1])OutputLargest element is: 90Approach 2 − Using built-in max() functionExample Live Demolist1 = [18, 65, 78, 89, 90] # main print("Largest element is:",max(list1))OutputLargest element is: 90ConclusionIn this article, we learnt about the approach to find largest number in a list.

Structure allows us to create user defined datatype. Structure member can be primitive datatype or it can be an array of statically allocated memory. When we assign one structure variable to another then shallow copy is performed. However, there is an exception, if structure member is an array then compiler automatically performs deep copy. Let us see this with example −Example Live Demo#include #include typedef struct student {    int roll_num;    char name[128]; } student_t; void print_struct(student_t *s) {    printf("Roll num: %d, name: %s", s->roll_num, s->name); } int main() {    student_t s1, s2;    s1.roll_num = ...

Given an input string with vowels and consonants. Rearrange the string such a way that vowels and consonants occupies alternate position in final string. As we are arranging vowels and consonants at alternate position the input string must satisfy either of the following conditions −Number of vowels and consonants must be same e.g. string "individual" has 5 vowels and 5 consonants.If number of vowels are more, then difference between number of vowels and number of consonants must be 1 e.g. string "noe" has 2 vowels and 1 consonant.If number of consonants are more, then difference between number of consonants and ...

In this article, we will learn about the solution and approach to solve the given problem statement.Problem statementGiven a number we need to convert into a binary number.Approach 1 − Recursive SolutionDecToBin(num):    if num > 1:       DecToBin(num // 2)       print num % 2Exampledef DecimalToBinary(num):    if num > 1:       DecimalToBinary(num // 2)    print(num % 2, end = '') # main if __name__ == '__main__':    dec_val = 35    DecimalToBinary(dec_val)Output100011All the variables and functions are declared in the global scope as shown below −Approach 2 − Built-in SolutionExample Live Demodef ...

C++17 has extended existing if statement’s syntax. Now it is possible to provide initial condition within if statement itself. This new syntax is called "if statement with initializer". This enhancement simplifies common code patterns and helps users keep scopes tight. Which in turn avoids variable leaking outside the scope.ExampleLet us suppose we want to check whether given number is even or odd. Before C++17 our code used to look like this − Live Demo#include #include using namespace std; int main() {    srand(time(NULL));    int random_num = rand();    if (random_num % 2 == 0) {       cout

The java.util.EnumMap class is a specialized Map implementation for use with enum keys. Following are the important points about EnumMap −All of the keys in an enum map must come from a single enum type that is specified, explicitly or implicitly, when the map is created.Enum maps are maintained in the natural order of their keys.EnumMap is not synchronized. If multiple threads access an enum map concurrently, and at least one of the threads modifies the map, it should be synchronized externally.Following are the constructors of the EnumMap class −Sr.NoConstructor & Description1EnumMap(Class keyType)This constructor creates an empty enum map with the specified ...

Compare two strings using compareTo() method in Java. The syntax is as follows −int compareTo(Object o)Here, o is the object to be compared.The return value is 0 if the argument is a string lexicographically equal to this string; a value less than 0 if the argument is a string lexicographically greater than this string; and a value greater than 0 if the argument is a string lexicographically less than this string.ExampleLet us now see an example − Live Demopublic class Demo {    public static void main(String args[]) {       String str1 = "Strings are immutable";       ...
