Here we will see, how to find the Floor and Ceiling value from BST. For example, if we want to make a memory management system, where free nodes are arranged in BST. Find best fit for the input request. Suppose we are moving down the tree with smallest data larger than the key value, then there are three possible cases.Root is the key. Then root value is the ceiling valueIf root data < key, then the ceiling value will not be at the left subtree, then proceed to right subtree, and reduce the problem domainIf root data > key, then ...

We have an array A, we have to find the LCM of all elements without using the GCD operation. If the array is like {4, 6, 12, 24, 30}, then the LCM will be 120.The LCM can be calculated easily for two numbers. We have to follow this algorithm to get the LCM.getLCM(a, b) −begin    if a > b, then m := a, otherwise m := b       while true do          if m is divisible by both a and b, then return m             m := m + ...

Suppose we have the lower and upper bound, and we have to find nontransitive triplet (x, y, z), such that the pair (x, y) are coprime (GCD is 1), the pair (y, z) are coprime, but pair (x, z) is not a coprime pair. For example, if the lower bound is 2, and upper bound is 10, then the elements are {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, here possible triplet is (4, 7, 8), here (4, 7), and (7, 8) are coprime, but (4, 8) is not a coprime pair.We will follow the naïve approach to solve ...

Consider we have an array, which is rotated sorted array. We have to find number of rotations are required to sort the array. (We will consider rotation right to left.)Suppose the array is like: {15, 17, 1, 2, 6, 11}, then we have to rotate the array two times to sort. The final order will be {1, 2, 6, 11, 15, 17}. Here output is 2.The logic is simple. If we notice, we can see that the number of rotation is same as the value of index of minimum element. So if we get the minimum element, then its index ...

Here we have to find the GCD of n Fibonacci terms with the given indices. So at first we have to get the maximum index, and generate Fibonacci terms, some Fibonacci terms are like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ….. The index is starts from 0. So the element at 0th index is 0. If we have to find gcd of Fibonacci terms at indices {2, 3, 4, 5}, then the terms are {1, 2, 3, 4}, so GCD of these numbers are 1.We will use one interesting approach to do this task. To ...

Suppose we have an array of positive integers. Our task is to find pair of integers from the array, where the GCD value is maximum. Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, then the output is 2. The pair (2, 4) has GCD 2, other GCD values are less than 2.To solve this problem, we will maintain a count array to store the count of divisors of each element. The process of counting divisors will take O(sqrt(arr[i])) amount of time. After whole traversal, we can traverse the count array from last index to first index, then if we find ... Read More

Suppose we have a binary tree. Our task is to count single valued subtrees in the given tree. A single valued subtree is a subtree, where all nodes of that tree is containing same value. Suppose a tree is like below −There are four Single value subtrees. These are like below −We can solve this using bottom up manner. For every subtree visited, return true, if the subtree, rooted under it is single valued, and increase the counter by 1. Here count is the reference parameter for recursive call. And use the returned value to find out if left and ... Read More

Suppose we have a rectangle ABCD, but we have only the coordinates of the mid points P and Q, and the length of the rectangle L.Our task is to find the coordinates of A, B, C and D using the coordinates of P and Q, and the length of side L. For example, if P is (1, 0), and Q is (1, 2), and L is 2, then A, B, C, D will be respectively (0, 0), (0, 2), (2, 2). (2, 0).There can be three cases that can occur.The rectangle is horizontal, so AD and BC are parallel to ... Read More

Suppose two person wants to choose different cities, they have listed out the cities in different list, we have to help the, to find common choices. So we need to find those cities, those are marked by both of them.This operation is very similar to the set intersection property, we will take two lists as set, then perform the set intersection to get the common elements.Example Live Demo#include #include #include using namespace std; vector commonInterest(string set1[], int n1, string set2[], int n2) {    vector v(min(n1, n2));    vector::iterator it;    // Sorting both the list    sort(set1, ...

Suppose we have two strings A and B, and another two cost values like CostA, and CostB. We have to find the minimum cost to make A and B identical. We can delete characters from string, the cost for deleting from string A is CostA, and cost for deleting from string B is CostB. Cost of removing all characters from a string is same. Suppose the string A = “wxyz”, B = “wyzx”, CostA is 10 and CostB is 20. So the output will be 30. If we delete x from both the strings, then A and B will be ... Read More
