Suppose there is a rectangle that is represented as a list [x1, y1, x2, y2], where (x1, y1) is the coordinates of its bottom-left corner, and (x2, y2) is the coordinates of its top-right corner. Now two rectangles overlap if the area of their intersection is positive. So, we can understand that two rectangles that only touch at the corner or edges do not overlap.If we have two (axis-aligned) rectangles, we have to check whether they overlap or not.So, if the input is like R1 = [0, 0, 2, 2], R2 = [1, 1, 3, 3], then the output will ...

Suppose we have a binary matrix A, this is the representation of an image, we want to flip the image horizontally, after that invert it, and finally return the resulting image. To flip the image horizontally each row of the image will be reversed. And to invert the image each 0 will be replaced by 1, and each 1 will be replaced by 0.So, if the input is like110101000then the output will be100010111To solve this, we will follow these steps −result:= a new listfor each row i in A, doReverse:= reverse row ifor j in range 0 to size of ...

Suppose there is a string S of lowercase letters, these letters form consecutive groups of the same character. So, when a string like S is like "abbxxxxzyy" has the groups "a", "bb", "xxxx", "z" and "yy". A group will be a large group when it has 3 or more characters. We would like the starting and ending positions of every large group.So, if the input is like "abcdddeeeeaabbbcd", then the output will be [[3, 5], [6, 9], [12, 14]]To solve this, we will follow these steps −ans := a new listcsum := 0for each a, b in make group of ...

Suppose we have a list of points on a plane. We have to find the area of the largest triangle that can be formed by any 3 of the points.So, if the input is like [[0, 0], [0, 1], [1, 0], [0, 2], [2, 0]], then the output will be 2To solve this, we will follow these steps −res := 0N := size of points listfor i in range 0 to N - 2, dofor j in range i + 1 to N - 1, dofor k in range i + 2 to N, do(x1, y1) := points[i], (x2, y2) ...

Suppose we have a string S and we have to write the letters of that given string, from left to right into lines. Here each line has maximum width 100 units, and if writing a letter would cause the width of the line to exceed 100 units, that will be written on the next line. We also have an array widths, here widths[0] is the width of 'a', widths[1] is the width of 'b'and so on.We have to find the answers of two questions −How many lines have at least one character from SWhat is the width used by the ...

Suppose we have a list of words, here each word can be written as a concatenation of the Morse code of each letter. For example, the word "cba" can be written as "-.-..--...", this is the concatenation "-.-." | "-..." | ".-"). This kind of concatenation is called the transformation of a word.We know that International Morse Code defines a standard encoding where each letter is mapped to a series of dots and dashes, as follows: "a" maps to ".-", "b" maps to "-...", "c" maps to "-.-.", and so on.Here is the list of all 26 letters of the ...

Suppose we have two integers L and R, we have to find the count of numbers in the range [L, R] (inclusive) having a prime number of set bits in their binary form.So, if the input is like L = 6 and R = 10, then the output will be 4, as there are 4 numbers 6(110), 7(111), 9(1001), 10(1010), all have prime number of set bits.To solve this, we will follow these steps −count := 0for j in range L to R, doif set bit count of j is in [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19], thencount ...

Suppose we have a dictionary words, and we have to find the minimum length word from a given dictionary words, it has all the letters from the string licensePlate. Now such a word is said to complete the given string licensePlate. Here, we will ignore case for letters. And it is guaranteed an answer exists. If there are more than one answers, then return answer that occurs first in the array.The license plate there may be same letter occurring multiple times. So when a licensePlate of "PP", the word "pile" does not complete the licensePlate, but the word "topper" does.So, ... Read More

Suppose we have an integer array called nums, now there is always exactly one largest element. We have to check whether the largest element in the array is at least twice as much as every other number in the array. If it is so, then we have to find the index of the largest element, otherwise return -1.So, if the input is like [3, 6, 1, 0], then the output will be 1, as 6 is the largest number, and for every other number in the array x, 6 is more than twice as big as x. As the index ... Read More

Suppose there is a staircase, here the i-th step will be some non-negative cost value cost[i] assigned. When we pay the cost, we can either climb one or two steps. We have to find minimum cost to reach the top of the floor, and we also can either start from the step with index 0, or the step with index 1.So, if the input is like cost = [12, 17, 20], then the output will be 17, The cheapest position to start from step 1 as we have to pay that cost and go to the top.To solve this, we ...
