Computing index using pointers returned by STL functions in C++

In this section we will see how to generate index using pointers that are returned by STL in C++. As we know many inbuilt functions in C++ return the pointers to the position in memory which provides the address of desired number, but it has no relation with the actual index in the container of the returned value. As an example, to determine maximum element in a code, we use std::max_element() function, this does not return the index of the desired element, but return the address in memory. But sometimes, we need to get the index from that address. Here ...

Suppose we have a string s containing only '(' and ')', we have to find the minimum number of brackets that can be inserted to make the string balanced.So, if the input is like "(()))(", then the output will be 2 as "(()))(", this can be made balanced like "((()))()".To solve this, we will follow these steps −:= 0, cnt := 0for initialize i := 0, when i < size of s, update (increase i by 1), do −if s[i] is same as '(', then −(increase o by 1)Otherwiseif o is non-zero, then −(decrease o by 1)Otherwise(increase cnt by 1)return ...

As we know the Gaussian Filtering is very much useful applied in the field of image processing. It is used to reduce the noise of an image. In this section we will see how to generate a 2D Gaussian Kernel. Gaussian Distribution for generating 2D kernel is as follows.$$G(x,y)= \frac{1}{2\Pi\:\sigma^{2}}e^{\frac{x^{2}+y^{2}}{2\sigma^{2}}}$$ExampleLet us see the following implementation to get better understanding −#include #include #include #define PI 3.1415 using namespace std; void calc_filter(double kernel[][5]) {    double sigma = 1.0;    double p, q = 2.0 * sigma * sigma;    double sum = 0.0;    for (int x = -2; x

Minimum Size of Two Non-Overlapping Intervals in C++

Suppose we have a list of intervals where each interval contains the [start, end] times. We have to find the minimum total size of any two non-overlapping intervals, where the size of an interval is (end - start + 1). If we cannot find such two intervals, return 0.So, if the input is like [[2, 5], [9, 10], [4, 6]], then the output will be 5 as we can pick interval [4, 6] of size 3 and [9, 10] of size 2.To solve this, we will follow these steps −ret := infn := size of vsort the array v based ...

In this section we will see how we can use C++ STL function to generate test cases. Sometimes generating test cases for array programs can be very complicated and inefficient process. C++ provides two methods to generate test cases. These methods are as follows −The generate() methodThe C++ function std::algorithm::generate() assigns the value returned by successive calls to gen to the elements in the range of first to last. It takes three parameters first, last and gen, these are forward iterator to the initial position, backward iterator to the final position and generator function that is called with no argument, ...

Suppose we have a lowercase alphabet string s, we have to find the length of the shortest substring (minimum length is 2) such that some letter appears more than the other letters combined. If we cannot find any solution, then return -1.So, if the input is like "abbbcde", then the output will be 2, the substring "bb" has minimum length and this appears more than other letters.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function ok(), this will take an array cnt, total := 0, maxVal := 0for each element it in cnt, dototal := total + itmaxVal ...

In this section, we will see how to make point class using complex class from STL in C++. And apply them on some geometry related problems. The complex number is present inside the complex class from STL (#include )Defining Point ClassTo make complex to point, we will change the name of the complex as point, then change x to real() of complex class and y to imag() of complex class. Thus, we can simulate the point class.# include typedef complex point; # define x real() # define y imag()We have to keep in mind that the x and y ...

Uniform Initialization in C++

Here we will discuss about the uniform initialization in C++. This is supported from C++11 version. The uniform initialization is a feature that permits the usage of a consistent syntax to initialize variables and objects which are ranging from primitive type to aggregates. In other words, it introduces brace-initialization that applies braces ({}) to enclose initializer values.Syntaxtype var_name{argument_1, argument_2, .... argument_n}Initialize Dynamically allocated arraysExample (C++)Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −#include using namespace std; int main() {    int* pointer = new int[5]{ 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 };    cout

Here we will see the concept of the user-defined literals in C++. From C++ version 11, the User Defined Literals (UDL) are added in C++. C++ also provides literals for a variety of built-in types but these are limited.Built-in Literals −31 (Integer)3.5 (Double)4.2F (Float)'p' (Character)31ULL (Unsigned Long Long)0xD0 (Unsigned Hexadecimal Integer)"pq" (String)Apart from the built-in literals, sometimes we need user defined literals. There are few reasons behind that. Let us see with few examples −Suppose we want to define one weight variable, but we cannot specify the units, like if we define as follows −long double Weight = 3.5;We have ...

Suppose we have one matrix, we have to convert it to 2d linked list using recursive approach.The list will have the right and down pointer.So, if the input is like102030405060708090then the output will beTo solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function make_2d_list(), this will take matrix mat, i, j, m, n, if i and j are not in the matrix boundary, then −return nulltemp := create a new node with value mat[i, j]right of temp := make_2d_list(mat, i, j + 1, m, n)down of temp := make_2d_list(mat, i + 1, j, m, n)return tempExampleLet us see the ...
