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 list of words, a list of single letters and score for every character. We have to find the maximum score of any valid set of words formed by using the given letters.We may not use all characters in letters and each letter can only be used once. Score of letters 'a', 'b', 'c', ... ,'z' is given by score[0], score[1], ... , score[25] respectively.So, if the input is like words = ["god", "good", "toc", "cat"], letters = [a, g, o, o, d, d, d, c, t, t] and score = [5, 0, 8, 3, 0, 0, ...

Suppose we have a grid of binary values (0s and 1s) the 1s in a cell represent the bricks. A brick will not drop when that satisfies these conditions −Either brick is directly connected to the top of the gridor at least one of its adjacent (top, bottom, left, right) bricks will not drop.We will do some erasures sequentially. In each case we want to do the erasure at the location (i, j), the brick (if that is present) on that location will disappear, and then some other bricks may drop because of that erasure. We have to find the ...

Suppose we have one integer array called nums. The value of this array is defined as the sum of |nums[i]-nums[i+1]| for all i in range 0 to n - 1. Where n is the size of the array. We can select any subarray of the given array and reverse it. We can perform this operation only once. Then we have to find the maximum possible value of the final array.So, if the input is like [1, 5, 4, 2, 3], then the output will be 10.To solve this, we will follow these steps −ret := 0, extra := 0n := ...

Suppose we have a binary string, another integer k. We have to check the string is containing all permutations of binary of k bits. Suppose a string is like “11001”, and if the K = 2, then it must have all permutations of k bit numbers. (00, 01, 10, 11), the given string has all permutation. So this is valid string.by taking the binary string and the value of k, we have to check whether binary sequences are matched or not. The binary sequence is made of size k. So there will be 2k number of different binary permutations. We ...

Suppose we have two strings S and T. We have to find the shortest sequence of operations that changes S to T. Here the operations are basically either deleting or inserting a character.So, if the input is like S = "xxxy" T = "xxyy", then the output will be ["x", "x", "-x", "y", "+y"], this means place first two x's, then remove 3rd x, then place y then add a new y.To solve this, we will follow these steps −make a table dp of size 505 x 505Define a function help(), this will take i, j, S, T, if i ...

Suppose we have a list of words. Now consider a ghost game where two players can participate into it. Here players alternate appending letters to a string. And the string that is being made must be a valid prefix of a word in the list, and the player who spells out any word in the list loses. We have to check whether the first player can win or not if both players are playing optimally.So, if the input is like words = ["manage", "manager", "min"], then the output will be True, as they can play like −m [Player 1]ma [Player ...

Suppose we have an edge list for an undirected graph where each edge has [u, v, w] fields, u and v are source and destination vertices and w is the weight. And also have a list of queries of the same form [u, v, w]. That represents the question of does there exist a path between u and v such that each edge in the path have weight of at most w. So find the number of queries that are true.So, if the input is like edges = [[0, 1, 6], [1, 2, 7], [2, 3, 8], [0, 3, 5]] ...

Suppose we have a list of intervals of the form [start, end] this is representing the starts and end points of banners we want to hang. At least one pin is required to hang a banner, and one pin can hang more than once banners. We have to find the smallest number of pins required to hang all the banners.So, if the input is like intervals = [[2, 5], [5, 6], [8, 10], [10, 13]], then the output will be 2, as we can put two pins at position 5 and 10 to hang all of the banners.To solve this, ...

Suppose we have a string with only digits, we have to restore it by forming all possible valid IP address combinations. We know that a valid IP address consists of exactly four integers (each integer is in range 0 to 255) separated by single period symbol.So, if the input is like ip = "25525511136", then the output will be ["254.25.40.123", "254.254.0.123"]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function convertToNum(), this will take s, start, end, num := 0for initialize i := start, when i 255, then −return 10000return numDefine a function addDots(), this will take positions, ...
