Minimum Cost to Merge Stones in C++
Suppose we have N piles of stones arranged in a row. Here the i-th pile has stones[i] number of stones. A move consists of merging K consecutive piles into one pile, now the cost of this move is equal to the total number of stones in these K number of piles. We have to find the minimum cost to merge all piles of stones into one pile. If there is no such solution then, return -1.So, if the input is like [3, 2, 4, 1] and K = 2, then the output will be 20, this is because, we will ...
Read MoreNumbers With Repeated Digits in C++
Suppose we have a positive integer N, we have to find the number of positive integers less than or equal to N that have at least 1 repeated digit .So, if the input is like 99, then the output will be 9, as we have numbers like 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function A(), this will take m, n, ret := 1for initialize i := 0, when i < n, update (increase i by 1), do −ret := ret * m(decrease m by 1)return retFrom the main ...
Read MoreConstruct Target Array With Multiple Sums in C++
Suppose we have an array of integers target. From a starting array A consisting of all 1's, we can perform the following procedure −Consider x be the sum of all elements currently in our array.Choose index i, in range 0 to n, where n is the size of the array and set the value of A at index i to x.We can repeat this procedure as many times as we need.We have to check whether it is possible to make the target array from A otherwise return False.So, if the input is like [3, 9, 5], then the output will ...
Read MoreLongest Duplicate Substring in C++
Suppose we have a string S, consider all duplicated contiguous substrings that occur 2 or more times. (The occurrences may overlap.), We have to find the duplicated substring that has the longest possible length. If there is no such substrings, then return a blank string. As the answer may very large, so return in mod 10^9 + 7.So, if the input is like "ababbaba", then the output will be "bab"To solve this, we will follow these steps −m := 1e9 + 7Define a function add(), this will take a, b, return ((a mod m) + (b mod m)) mod mDefine ...
Read MoreNumber of Submatrices That Sum to Target in C++
Suppose we have a matrix, and a target value, we have to find the number of non-empty submatrices that sum is same as target. Here a submatrix [(x1, y1), (x2, y2)] is the set of all cells matrix[x][y] with x in range x1 and x2 and y in range y1 and y2. Two submatrices [(x1, y1), (x2, y2)] and [(x1', y1'), (x2', y2')] are different if they have some coordinate that is different: like, if x1 is not same as x1'.So, if the input is like010111010and target = 0, then the output will be 4, this is because four 1x1 ...
Read MoreReducing Dishes in C++
Suppose there is a chef. And he has collected data on the satisfaction level of his n dishes. The Chef can cook any dish in 1 unit of time. Like-time coefficient of a dish is actually the time takento cook that dish including previous dishes multiplied by its satisfaction level So time[i]*satisfaction[i].We have to find the maximum sum of Like-time coefficient that the chef can obtain after dishes preparation. Dishes can be ready in any order and the chef can discard some dishes to get this maximum value.So, if the input is like [-1, -7, 0, 6, -7], then the ...
Read MoreNumber of Ways to Paint N × 3 Grid in C++
Suppose we have grid of size n x 3 and we want to paint each cell of the grid with exactly one of the three colors. The colors are Red, Yellow or Green. Now there is a constraint that is no two adjacent cells have the same color. We have n the number of rows of the grid. We have to find the number of ways we can paint this grid. The answer may be very large so return it modulo 10^9 + 7.So, if the input is like 1, then the output will be 12To solve this, we will ...
Read MoreConstrained Subsequence Sum in C++
Suppose we have an array called nums and an integer k, we have to find the maximum sum of a non-empty subsequence of that array such that for every two consecutive numbers in the subsequence, nums[i] and nums[j], where i < j, the condition j - i k and first element of dq is same as dp[i - k - 1], thendelete front element from dqdp[i] := maximum of dp[i] and (if dq is empty, then dp[i] + 0, otherwise first element of dp + dq[i])while (not dq is empty and last element of dq < dp[i]), do −delete ...
Read MoreDistinct Subsequences in C++ Programming
Suppose we have strings S and T. We have to count number of distinct sequences of S which is equal to T.We know that a subsequence of a string is a new string which is formed from the original string by removing some (can be none) of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters. (Like, "ACE" is a subsequence of "ABCDE" while "AEC" is not).If the input strings are “baalllloonnn” and “balloon”, then there will be 36 different ways to select.To solve this, we will follow these steps −n := size of s, m := size ...
Read MoreSearch Insert Position in C++
Suppose we have a sorted array arr and a target value, we have to find the index when the target is found. If that is not present, then return the index where it would be if it were inserted in order.So, if the input is like [1, 3, 4, 6, 6], and target = 5, then the output will be 3, as we can insert 5 at index 3, so the array will be [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6]To solve this, we will follow these steps−n := size of Aif n < 1, then −return 0low := 0, high ...
