Suppose we have two values hours and minutes. We have to find a smaller angle formed between the hour and the minute hand.So, if the input is like hour = 12 minutes = 45, then the output will be 112.5To solve this, we will follow these steps:if h = 12, then set h := 0if m = 60, then set m := 0hAngle := 0.5 * (60h) + mmAngle := 6mret := |hAngle - mAngle|return minimum of ret and (360 – ret)Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding:Example#include using namespace std; class Solution { public:   ...

Suppose we have a node in a binary search tree, we have to find the in-order successor of that node in the BST. If there is no in-order successor, return null. As we know that the successor of a node is the node with the smallest key greater than value of node.We will have direct access to the node but not to the root of the tree. Here each node will have a reference to its parent node. Below is the definition for Node −class Node {    public int val;    public Node left;    public Node right;   ...

Suppose we have a picture consisting of black and white pixels, we have to find the number of black lonely pixels. Here the picture is represented by a 2D char array consisting of 'B' and 'W', for the black and white pixels respectively.A black lonely pixel is actually 'B' that located at a specific position where the same row and same column don't have any other black pixels.If the input is like −WWBWBWBWWOutput will be 3. Because all the three 'B's are black lonely pixels.To solve this, we will follow these steps −n := size of picturem := (if n ...

Suppose we have a 2D binary matrix where 1 represents a communication tower, and 0 represents an empty cell. The towers can communicate in the following ways: 1. If tower A, and tower B are either on the same row or column, they can communicate with each other. 2. If tower A can talk with tower B and B can talk with C, then A can talk to C (transitive property). We have to find the total number of tower groups there are (here a group is a list of towers that can talk with each other).So, if the input ...

Suppose we have a string with lowercase letters and we also have a list of non-negative values called costs, the string and the list have the same length. We can delete character s[i] for cost costs[i], and then both s[i] and costs[i] is removed. We have to find the minimum cost to delete all consecutively repeating characters.So, if the input is like s = "xxyyx" nums = [2, 3, 10, 4, 6], then the output will be 6, as we can delete s[0] and s[3] for a total cost of 2 + 4 = 6.To solve this, we will follow ...

Suppose we have a number n, we have to find the number of trailing zeros of n!.So, if the input is like n = 20, then the output will be 4, as 20! = 2432902008176640000To solve this, we will follow these stepsset count := 0for i := 5, (n/i) > 1, update i := i * 5, docount := count + (n /i)return countLet us see the following implementation to get better understandingExample#include #include #define MAX 20 using namespace std; int countTrailingZeros(int n) {    int count = 0;    for (int i = 5; n / i >= 1; i *= 5)       count += n / i;    return count; } main() {    int n = 20;    cout

Suppose we are considering an infinite number line, here the position of the i−th stone is given by array stones and stones[i] is indicating ith stone position. A stone is an endpoint stone if it has the smallest or largest position. Now in each turn, we pick up an endpoint stone and move it to an unoccupied position so that it is no longer an endpoint stone.If the stones are at say, stones = [1, 2, 5], we cannot move the endpoint stone at position 5, because moving it to any position (such as 0, or 3) will still keep ...

Suppose we have a binary tree, the root node is present at depth 0, and children of each depth k node are at depth k+1.Here two nodes of a binary tree are called cousins if they have the same depth, but have different parents.All values of the tree will be unique, and the values x and y of two different nodes in the tree. We have to check whether the nodes corresponding to the values x and y are cousins or not.So, if the input is likex = 5, y = 4, then the output will be trueTo solve this, ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums and another value k. We have to find the minimum number of numbers that we need to insert into nums such that we can make any number from [1, k] using some subset in nums.So, if the input is like nums = [3, 5], k = 6, then the output will be 2, as we have to insert 1, 2, so we can make : 1 = [1], 2 = [2], 3 = [3], 4 = [1, 3], 5 = [5], 6 = [1, 5].To solve this, we will follow these ...

Suppose we have a grid, here in each cell can have one of three values −value 0 for an empty cell;value 1 for a fresh orange;value 2 for a rotten orange.In every minute, any fresh orange that is adjacent to a rotten orange becomes rotten.We have to find the minimum number of times that must elapse until no cell has a fresh orange. If this is not possible, then return -1.So, if the input is like [[2, 1, 1], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1]], then the output will be 4To solve this, we will follow these steps −minutes := ...
