In this article we are going to discuss the set::cend() and set::cbegin() functions in C++ STL, their syntax, working and their return values.What is Set in C++ STL?Sets in C++ STL are the containers which must have unique elements in a general order. Sets must have unique elements because the value of the element identifies the element. Once added a value in set container later can’t be modified, although we can still remove or add the values to the set. Sets are used as binary search trees.What is set::cbegin():cbegin() function is an inbuilt function in C++ STL, which is defined ... Read More

Given is the task to show the functionality list remove( ) and list remove_if( ) function in C++ in STL.What is List in STL?List are containers that allow constant time insertion and deletion anywhere in sequence. List are implemented as doubly linked lists. List allow non-contiguous memory allocation. List perform better insertion extraction and moving of element in any position in container than array, vector and deque. In List the direct access to the element is slow and list is similar to forward_list, but forward list objects are single linked lists and they can only be iterated forwards.What is remove( ...

Given is the task to show the functionality list operator = function in C++ in STL.What is List in STL?List are containers that allow constant time insertion and deletion anywhere in sequence. List are implemented as doubly linked lists. List allow non-contiguous memory allocation. List perform better insertion extraction and moving of element in any position in container than array, vector and deque. In List the direct access to the element is slow and list is similar to forward_list, but forward list objects are single linked lists and they can only be iterated forwards.What is use of operator = ?This ...

In this article we will be discussing the working, syntax and examples of list::empty() and list::size() function in C++ STL.What is List in STL?List are containers that allow constant time insertion and deletion anywhere in sequence. List are implemented as doubly linked lists. List allow non-contiguous memory allocation. List perform better insertion extraction and moving of element in any position in container than array, vector and deque.

Given is the task to show the functionality of deque max_size( ) function in C++ STL.What is Deque?Deque is the Double Ended Queues that are the sequence containers which provides the functionality of expansion and contraction on both the ends. A queue data structure allow user to insert data only at the END and delete data from the FRONT. Let’s take the analogy of queues at bus stops where the person can be inserted to a queue from the END only and the person standing in the FRONT is the first to be removed whereas in Double ended queue the ...

Given is the task to show the functionality list swap( ) function in C++ in STL.What is List in STL?List are containers that allow constant time insertion and deletion anywhere in sequence. List are implemented as doubly linked lists. List allow non-contiguous memory allocation. List perform better insertion extraction and moving of element in any position in container than array, vector and deque. In List the direct access to the element is slow and list is similar to forward_list, but forward list objects are single linked lists and they can only be iterated forwards.What is swap( )?This function is used ...

Suppose we have an array of strings products and a string called searchWord. We want to design a module that suggests at most three product names from products list after each character of searchWord is typed. The suggested products should have common prefix with the searchWord. When there are more than three products with a common prefix return the three lexicographically minimums products. So we have to find the lists of the suggested products after each character of searchWord is typed.If the input is like: [ "mobile", "mouse", "moneypot", "monitor", "mousepad"], and the searchWord is “mouse”, then the output will ...

Suppose we have a binary tree. The rules of that tree is as follows −root.val == 0If treeNode.val is x and treeNode.left is not null, then treeNode.left.val = 2 * x + 1If treeNode.val is x and treeNode.right is not null, then treeNode.right.val = 2 * x + 2Now as the binary tree is contaminated. This indicates all val of the tree node have been changed to -1. We have to first recover the binary tree and then implement the FindElements class as follows −FindElements(TreeNode* root) Initializes the object with a contamined binary tree, we have to recover it first.bool ...

Suppose we have a 2D grid consists of 0s (as land) and 1s (as water). An island is a maximal 4- directionally connected group of 0s. A closed island is an island totally surrounded by 1s. We have to find the number of closed islands. So if the grid is like1111111010000110101011101000010111111110So the output will be 2. There are two islands, that are completely surrounded by water.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a variable flagDefine a method called dfs, this will take the grid, i, j, n and mif i and j are not inside the range of ...

Suppose we have a string s of '(' , ')' and lowercase English characters. We have to remove the minimum number of parentheses ( '(' or ')', in any positions ) so that the resulting parenthese string is valid and return any valid string. A parentheses string is valid when all of these criteria are fulfilled −It is the empty string, contains lowercase characters only, orIt can be written as the form of AB (A concatenated with B), where A and B are valid strings, orIt can be written as the form of (A), where A is a valid string.So ...
