Suppose we have a non-empty integer array, we have to find the minimum number of moves that are required to make all array elements equal, where a move is incrementing or decrementing a selected element by 1. So when the array is like [1, 2, 3], then the output will be 2, as 1 will be incremented to 2, and 3 will be decremented to 2.To solve this, we will follow these steps −sort the array numsset counter as 0for i in nums, docounter := counter + absolute of (i – nums[length of nums / 2])return counterExample(Python)Let us see the ...

Suppose we have four lists A, B, C, D of integer values, we have to compute how many tuples (i, j, k, l) there are such that A[i] + B[j] + C[k] + D[l] is zero. Consider all A, B, C, D have same length of N where 0 ≤ N ≤ 500. Remember all integers are in the range of -228 to 228 - 1 and the result is guaranteed to be at most 231 - 1. So if the inputs are A = [1, 2], B = [-2, -1], C = [-1, 2], D = [0, 2], then ... Read More

Suppose a decimal number can be converted to its Hexspeak representation by converting it to an uppercase hexadecimal string at first, after that replacing all occurrences of the digit 0 with the letter O, and the digit 1 with the letter I.This kind of representation is valid if and only if it consists only of the letters in the set {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "I", "O"}.So we have a string num representing a decimal integer N, we have to find the Hexspeak representation of N if it is correct, otherwise return "ERROR". So if num = “257”, then ... Read More

Suppose a dieter consumes calories[i], this indicates the calories on the i-th day. If we have an integer k, for every consecutive sequence of k days that is (calories[i], calories[i+1], ..., calories[i+k-1] for all 0 upper, so increase one point, lower = length of C, then come out from the looptemp := temp + C[right]return pointsExampleLet us see the following implementation to get better understanding − Live Democlass Solution(object):    def dietPlanPerformance(self, c, k, l, u):       temp = 0       for i in range(k):          temp += c[i]       right ...

Suppose, there is a special keyboard with all keys in a single row. So if we have a string of length 26 indicating the layout of the keyboard (indexed from 0 to 25), initially our finger is at index 0. To type a character, we have to move your finger to the index of the next character. The time taken to move your finger from index i to index j is denoted as |i - j|. So if we want to type a string. we have to define a function to calculate how much time it takes to type it ... Read More

Suppose we have an array called, nums and that is sorted in non-decreasing order, and a number target. We have to find if the target is a majority element. In an array a majority element is an element that appears more than N/2 times in an array of length N. So if the array is like − [2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6] and target is 5, then output is true.To solve this, we will follow these steps −There will be two helping modules, lower() and upper(). These are as follows.The lower() takes two arguments array arr ... Read More

Suppose we have a list of numbers, we have to return the number whose occurrence is 1, if no such element is present, then return -1. So if the list is like [5, 2, 3, 6, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3], then the output will be 9.To solve this, we will follow these steps −We will check each element, and put the elements inside the map, so if the element is not in map, then put a new entry, otherwise increase the valuethen go through the map, when the value is 1, return the key.Example(Python)Let us see the following implementation ...

Suppose we have a string, we have to remove all vowels from that string. So if the string is like “iloveprogramming”, then after removing vowels, the result will be − "lvprgrmmng"To solve this, we will follow these steps −create one array vowel, that is holding [a, e, i, o, u]for v in a vowelreplace v using blank stringExampleLet us see the following implementation to get a better understanding − Live Democlass Solution(object):    def removeVowels(self, s):       s = s.replace("a", "")       s = s.replace("e", "")       s = s.replace("i", "")       s ...

Suppose we have one year Y and a month M, we have to return the number of days of that month for the given year. So if the Y = 1992 and M = 7, then the result will be 31, if the year is 2020, and M = 2, then the result is 29.To solve this, we will follow these steps −if m = 2, thenif y is a leap year, return 29, otherwise 28make an array with elements [1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12]if m is in the list, then return 31, otherwise, return 30.Example(Python)Let us see ...

Suppose we have an array A of integers and another integer K is given. We have to find the maximum S such that there exists i < j with A[i] + A[j] = S and S < K. If there is no i, j exists satisfying this equation, then return -1. So for example if A = [34, 23, 1, 24, 75, 33, 54, 8] and K = 60, then the output will be 58, as we can use 34 and 24 to sum 58, which is less than 60.To solve this, we will follow these steps −res = - ...
