Suppose we have a list of stock prices of a company in chronological order, we have to find the maximum profit we could have made from buying and selling the stock. We must buy before selling, and we must wait one day after selling the stock before buying again.So, if the input is like prices = [2, 6, 9, 4, 11], then the output will be 11, as we can buy at 2, then sell at 6, wait for a day, then buy at 4 and then sell at 11.To solve this, we will follow these steps:s := 0b := ...

Suppose we have a singly linked list, we have to rearrange it such that we take: the last node, and then the first node, and then the second last node, and then the second node, and so on.So, if the input is like [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], then the output will be [9, 1, 8, 2, 7, 3, 6, 4, 5, ]To solve this, we will follow these steps:c := nodel := a new listwhile c is not-null, doinsert value of c at the end of lc := next of cc := nodewhile c is ...

Suppose we have a string s consisting only two letters A and B, we have to find the minimum number of letters that need to be deleted from s to get all occurrences of As before all occurrences of Bs.So, if the input is like S = "AABAABB", then the output will be 1, as We can remove the last A to get AABBBTo solve this, we will follow these steps:a_right := number of occurrences of "A" in sb_left := 0ans := a_rightfor each index i and character c in s, doif c is same as "A", thena_right := a_right ...

Suppose we have a list of non-negative numbers called nums and also have an integer target. We have to find the the number of ways to arrange + and - in nums such that the expression equals to target.So, if the input is like nums = [2, 3, 3, 3, 2] target = 9, then the output will be 2, as we can have -2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 and 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 – 2.To solve this, we will follow these steps:s := sum of all numbers in numsif (s + target) ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums, we have to find the number of arithmetic subsequences of length ≥ 3. As we know an arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers where the difference between one number and the next is the same.So, if the input is like nums = [6, 12, 13, 8, 10, 14], then the output will be 3, as we have subsequences like: [6, 8, 10], [6, 10, 14], [12, 13, 14].To solve this, we will follow these steps:dp := a new mapn := size of numsres := 0for i in range 0 to ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums, we have to find the number of contiguous arithmetic sequences of length ≥ 3. As we know an arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers where the difference between one number and the next number is the same.So, if the input is like nums = [6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14], then the output will be 4, as we have the arithmetic sequences like: [6, 8, 10] [8, 10, 12] [6, 8, 10, 12] [12, 13, 14]To solve this, we will follow these steps −count := 0, ans := 0for i ...

Introduction..Assume you are asked to code a program to accept the number of tennis grandslam titles from the user and process them. We already know, Federer and Nadal share the maximum grandslam titles in Tennis which is 20 (As of 2020) while the minimum is 0, lot of players are still fighting to get their first grandslam title.Let us create a program to accept the titles.Note - Execute the program from terminal.Exampleimport argparse def get_args(): """ Function : get_args parameters used in .add_argument 1. metavar - Provide a hint to the user about the data type. - By default, ...

Introduction..If we were writing a program that performs arithematic operations on two numbers, we could define them as two positional arguments. But since they are the same kinds/python data types of arguments, it might make more sense to use the nargs option to tell argparse that you want exactly two of same types.How to do it..1. Let's write a program to substract two numbers (both the arguments are of same type).Exampleimport argparse def get_args(): """ Function : get_args parameters used in .add_argument 1. metavar - Provide a hint to the user about the data type. - By default, all ...

Introduction..What is your most favorite chart type ? If you ask this question to management or a business analyst, the immediate answer is Pie charts!. It is a very common way of presenting percentages.How to do it..1. Install matplotlib by following command.pip install matplotlib2. Import matplotlibimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt3. Prepare temporary data.tennis_stats = (('Federer', 20), ('Nadal', 20), ('Djokovic', 17), ('Murray', 3), )4. Next step is to prepare the data.titles = [title for player, title in tennis_stats] players = [player for player, title in tennis_stats]5. Create the pie chart with the values as titles and labels as player names.autopct parameter - ... Read More

Introduction..Scatter-plot are very useful when representing the data with two dimensions to verify whether there's any relationship between two variables. A scatter plot is chart where the data is represented as dots with X and Y values.How to do it..1. Install matplotlib by following command.pip install matplotlib2. Import matplotlibimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt tennis_stats = (('Federer', 20), ('Nadal', 20), ('Djokovic', 17), ('Sampras', 14), ('Emerson', 12), ('laver', 11), ('Murray', 3), ('Wawrinka', 3), ('Zverev', 0), ('Theim', 1), ('Medvedev', 0), ('Tsitsipas', 0), ('Dimitrov', 0), ('Rublev', 0))3. Next step is to prepare the data in any array format. We can also read the data from ... Read More
