Suppose we have a ball factory where we have n balls numbered from l to r (both inclusive) and have an infinite number of boxes numbered from 1 to infinity. So if we put each ball in the box with a number same to the sum of digits of the ball's number. (As an example, the ball number 123 will be put in the box number 1 + 2 + 3 = 6). So if we have two values l and r, we have to find the number of balls in the box with the most balls.So, if the input ... Read More

Suppose we have a string s represents time in the form of hh:mm. Some of the digits in s are hidden (represented by ?). Considering 24hr clock, the valid times are between 00:00 and 23:59. We have to find the latest valid time that we can get from time by replacing the hidden digits.So, if the input is like s= "1?:?5", then the output will be 13:55 as the latest hour beginning with the digit '2' is 23 and the latest minute ending with the digit '0' is 50.To solve this, we will follow these steps −ans := a new ...

Suppose there is a biker who is going on a road trip. There are n different points in his road trip at different altitudes. The biker starts his trip from point 0 with altitude 0. If we have a sequence called gain with n elements, gain[i] is the net gain in altitude between points i and i + 1 for all (0

Suppose we have an array called rect where rect[i] has two elements [len_i, wid_i], where len_i and wid_i are representing the length and width of ith rectangle respectively. Now we can cut the ith rectangle to form a square whose side length is of k if both k

Suppose we have a hidden array arr with n non-negative integers. Now this array is encoded into another array enc of length n-1. So here enc[i] = arr[i] XOR arr[i+1]. If we have the encoded enc array and an integer first, that is the first element of actual array, we have to find the original array.So, if the input is like enc = [8, 3, 2, 7], first = 4, then the output will be [4, 12, 15, 13, 10].To solve this, we will follow these steps −arr := an array with only one element firstfor i in range 0 ...

Suppose you put 1Rs in a bank on first day say Monday. And every day from next day, Tuesday to Sunday, you put in 1Rs more than the day before. And on every subsequent Monday, you will put in 1Rs more than the previous Monday. If we have a number n, we have to find the total amount of money you will have in the bank at the end of the nth day.So, if the input is like n = 17, then the output will be 75 because, put 1Rs on Monday, 2Rs on Tuesday and so on, so 7Rs ...

Suppose we have a set of boxes represented as a 2D array called boxTypes, where boxTypes[i] contains two elements [number of boxes of type i, number of units per box of type i]. Now we also have another value k, which is the maximum number of boxes that can be put on that truck. We can select any boxes to put on the truck as long as the number of boxes does not cross k. We have to find the maximum total number of units that can be put on the truck.So, if the input is like boxTypes = [[2, ... Read More

Suppose we have a string s whose length is even. We have to split this string into two different halves of same lengths. So consider 'a' is the first half and 'b' is the second half. We say two strings are alike when they have the same number of vowels (uppercase or lowercase). We have to check whether 'a' and 'b' are alike or not.So, if the input is like s = "talent", then the output will be True because two halves are "tal" and "ent", they are alike because they have only one vowel and two consonants.To solve this, ...

Suppose we have a phone number as string. The phone number number consists of digits, spaces and/or dashes '-'. We want to reformat the phone number in a certain manner. There are few rules −Remove all spaces and dashes at beginningGroup the digits from left side to right side into blocks of length 3 until there are 4 or less digits are left.The final digits are then grouped like −For 2 digits: A single block of length 2.For 3 digits: A single block of length 3.For 4 digits: Two more blocks of length 2 each.These blocks are then clubbed by ...

Suppose we have a number n. So there are n number of teams in a tournament that has some rules −If the number of teams is even currently, then each team gets merged with another team. And a total of (n/2) matches are played, from them (n/2) winner teams will move to the next round.If the number of teams is odd, then one team randomly moved in the tournament, and the rest gets merged. So a total of (n-1)/2 matches are played, and (n-1)/2+1 teams are moved to the next round as winner.We have to find total number of matches ... Read More
