Suppose we have an array A of positive integers, we can call a good subarray (contiguous) of A, if the number of different integers in that subarray is exactly K. So, if the array is like [1, 2, 3, 1, 2] has 3 different integers: 1, 2, and 3. We have to find the number of good subarrays of A.So, if the input is like [1, 2, 3, 1, 4] and K = 3, then the output will be 4, as it can form three subarrays with exactly four distinct integers, these are [1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3, 1], ...

Suppose we have several boxes with different colors These colors are represented by different positive numbers. We can experience several rounds to remove boxes until there is no box left. In each round we can choose some continuous boxes with the same color (composed of k boxes, k >= 1), and remove them and get k*k points. So if the input is like − [1, 3, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 1], then the output will be 21.Find the maximum points you can get.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function solve(), this will take an ...

Suppose we have a positive integer n, we have to find the number of all possible attendance records with length n, which will be regarded as rewardable. As the answer may be very large, we will return it using mod 109 + 7.In the student attendance record the string can only contain the following three characters −'A' means absent.'L' means late.'P' means present.one attendance is treated as rewardable if it doesn't contain more than one 'A' (absent) or more than two continuous 'L' (late). So we have to find the maximum points.If the input is like 2, then the output ...

Suppose we have a number n, we have to get the closest number that is palindrome. So the palindrome could be less than or greater than the number whose absolute difference is smaller. So if the number is like 145, then the result will be 141.To solve this, we will follow these steps −sn := size of nif sn is same as 1, then −decrease n[0] by 1 and return a string of 1s of size n[0]half_sn := (sn + 1) / 2half_val := stol(substring of n from index 0 to half_snDefine an array candidates = {10^(sn) – 1, 10^(sn ...

Suppose we have s as string, we have to find the last substring of s in lexicographic order.So, if the input is like "abbbcabbc", then the output will be "cabbc"To solve this, we will follow these steps −i := 0, j := 1, k := 0while j + k < size of s, do &minsu;if s[i + k] is same as s[j + k], then −(increase k by 1)Ignore following part, skip to the next iterationif s[i + k] < s[j + k], then −i := j(increase j by 1)Otherwisej := j + k + 1k := 0return substring of ...

Suppose we have a positive integer n. We have to find the non-negative integers less than or equal to n. The constraint is that the binary representation will not contain consecutive ones. So if the input is 7, then the answer will be 5, as binary representation of 5 is 101.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function convert(), this will take n, ret := empty stringwhile n is non-zero, do −ret := ret + (n mod 2)n := right shift n, 1 timereturn retFrom the main method, do the following −bits := call the function convert(num)n ...

Suppose there is a message, that is containing letters from A-Z is being encoded to numbers using the following mapping way −'A' -> 1, 'B' -> 2, ... , 'Z' -> 26Now, the encoded string can also contain the character '*', which can be treated as one of the numbers from 1 to 9. So if we have the encoded message containing digits and the character '*', then we have to find the total number of ways to decode it. If the answer is very long, we can use mod 109 + 7 to get the final result. So if ...

Suppose there is a strange printer It has some requirements −The printer can print only a sequence of the same character each time.In each turn, the printer can print new characters starting from and ending at any places, and will cover the original existing characters.So if we have a string consists of lower letters, our task is to count the minimum number of turns the printer needed in order to print it.So if the input is like “aaabba”, then it will take 2 turns, first prints aaaaa then b’s by replacing the characters.To solve this, we will follow these steps ...

Suppose we know about one Multiplication Table. But could we find out the k-th smallest number quickly from the multiplication table? So if we have to height m and the length n of a m * n Multiplication Table, and one positive integer k, we have need to find the k-th smallest number in this table.So if m = 3 and n = 3 and k is 6, then the output will be 4., this is because the multiplication table is like −1231123224633696th smallest element is 4 as [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 6, 9]To solve this, we ...

Suppose we have a rooted tree. This is a directed graph such that, there is exactly one node (which is the root) for which all other nodes are descendants of this node, and every node has exactly one parent, except for the root node. Root has no parents.In the given input a directed graph that started as a rooted tree with N nodes (All values are unique), with one additional directed edge added. The added edge has two different vertices chosen from 1 to N, and was not an edge that already existed.Graph will be a 2D-array of edges. Each ...
