Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums that is representing the stock prices of a company in chronological order and we also have another value k, we have to find the maximum profit we can make from up to k buys and sells (We must buy before sell, and sell before buy).So, if the input is like prices = [7, 3, 5, 2, 3] k = 2, then the output will be 3, as we can buy at 3, then sell at 5, again buy at 2, and sell at 3.To solve this, we will follow these steps ...

We are given a string str[] as input. The goal is to count the words from str[] that have the same length as str[] and have positions of letters such that ith letter is replaced with letter at position (i1) or (i) or (i+1).For the first letter replacement will be from position i or i+1For the last letter replacement will be from position i-1 or i.Let us understand with examples.Input − str[] = “TPP”Output − Count of words whose i-th letter is either (i-1)-th, i-th, or (i+1)-th letter of given word are − 4Explanation Replacing T by T (i)th or 1st ...

We are given a positive number n as input. The goal is to find the count of possible pairs (i, j) such that each pair has sum (i+j) which is prime and is less than n. Also i != j and i, j>=1 If n is 4 then only 1 pair is possible which is (1, 2). Here 1+2 = 3 is prime and less than 4. Also 1, 2 >=1.Let us understand with examples.Input − n=7Output − Count of pairs with sum as a prime number and less than n are − 3Explanation − Pairs will be (1, 2), ... Read More

We are a variable num. The goal is to find the count of permutations of numbers between [1, num] in which numbers are first decreasing then increasing. For example if num=3 then numbers are 1, 2, 3. The permutations will be [ 3, 1, 2 ] and [2, 1, 3] and count is 2.We know that in every permutation the change from decreasing of numbers to increasing of numbers will be decided based on position of 1 which is smallest. After each 1 the numbers will start increasing. For a permutation to decrease and then increase, 1 should lie between ... Read More

We are two variables n and m representing a grid of size n x m and initial point x, y to start from.Also given pairs of steps/moves that can be taken to traverse inside the grid as moves ( (1, 1), (2, 2) ) etc. Each pair of moves represents the unit of steps taken in the x, y axis. The goal is to find the total steps that can be taken to traverse inside the grid within boundaries [1, n] X [1, m] If n is 5 and m is 4 and current position is 2, 2 and step ... Read More

We are given a string containing the parentheses and the task is to calculate the count of pairs of parentheses sequences that can be formed such that the parentheses are balanced.Parentheses are said to be balanced when there are equal numbers of opening and closing brackets. The parentheses used once can’t be considered twice for forming the pair.Input − string paran[] = { ")()())", "(", ")(", ")(", ")" }Output − Count of pairs of parentheses sequences such that parentheses are balanced are: 1Explanation − we will take every set of string to calculate the count better. Lets take the first ... Read More

We are given a string which can contain “ab” and the task is to calculate the count of operations required to remove or delete “ab” from the string. So, our task is to firstly check whether the string contains “ab” or not if yes then we have to make string “ab” free.Input − string str = "ababaa"Output − Count of operations to make a binary string “ab” free are − 4Explanation − As we can see in the string “ab” pattern is occurring two times so we will replace “ab” with “bba” so the count of operations is 1 and ...

We are given an array of integer elements and the task is to calculate the count of sub-arrays that can be formed from the given array such that its elements can form a valid palindrome. Palindromes are the sequences that are arranged similarly from start and the end.Input − int arr[] = { 3, 3, 1, 4, 2, 1, 5}Output − Count of sub-arrays whose elements can be re-arranged to form palindromes are − 9Explanation − The valid sub-arrays whose elements can be arranged to form a palindrome are {3}, {3}, {1}, {4}, {2}, {1}, {5}, {1, 2, 1} and ...

We are given two strings i.e. str1 and str2 and the task is to calculate the count of strings that can completely be generated from another string, but we can use one character once for forming the string. Like, we will take two strings str1 and str2 and check for the occurrence of str2 in str1 by using the character of str1 exactly once.Input − str_1 = "technical learning", str_2 = "learning"Output − Count of strings that can be formed from another string using each character at-most once are − 1Explanation − As we can see str_2 occurs in str_1 ...

We are given an array of positive integers. The goal is to find the count of pairs of elements of arr[] such that pairs have elements ( p, q ) where p occurs in array for at least q times and q occurs in array for at-least p times.Let us understand with examples.Input − int arr[] = { 3, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6, 6}Output − Count of pairs in an array such that frequency of one is at least value of other are − 1Explanation − The valid pairs in an array where p occurs q times and q ...
