Bulb Switcher III in C++
Suppose we have a room with n bulbs, these are numbered from 1 to n, arranged in a row from left to right. Initially, all the bulbs are turned off. At moment k (for k in range 0 to n - 1), we turn on the light[k] bulb. A bulb changes color to blue only if it is on and all the previous bulbs (to the left) are turned on too. We have to find the number of moments in which all turned on bulbs is blue. So this is an example −The output will be 3 as the moments ...
Read MoreScore After Flipping Matrix in C++
Suppose we have a two dimensional matrix A where each value is 0 or 1. Here a move consists of choosing any row or column, and toggling each value in that row or column: changing all 0s to 1s, and all 1s to 0s. Now after making any number of moves, every row of this matrix is interpreted as a binary number, and the score of the matrix is the sum of these numbers. So our task is to find the highest possible score. If the input is like −001110101100The output will be 39 as after toggling, the matrix will ...
Read MorePrime Palindrome in C++
Suppose we have to find the smallest prime palindrome that is greater than or equal to N. So if the N is 13, then the smallest palindrome will be 101.To solve this, we will follow these steps −If N is in range 8 to 11, then return 11for i in range 1 to 99999s := i as a stringr := sreverse rnum := concatenate s and substring of r from index 1, then convert to numberif num >= N and num is prime, then return numreturn 0Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −Example#include using namespace ...
Read MoreTime Needed to Inform All Employees in C++
Suppose we have a company has n employees with a unique ID for each employee. These IDs are ranging from 0 to n - 1. The head of the company has is the one with headID. Each employee has one direct manager given in the manager array where manager[i] is the direct manager of the i-th employee, manager[headID] = -1. Also it's guaranteed that the subordination relationships have a tree-like structure. Here the head of the company wants to inform all the employees of the company of an urgent piece of news. He can inform his direct subordinates and they ...
Read MoreKoko Eating Bananas in C++
Suppose we have N piles of bananas, the i-th pile has piles[i] bananas. Here the guards have gone and will come back in H hours. Koko can decide her bananas-per-hour eating speed is K. Each hour, she takes some pile of bananas, and eats K bananas from that pile. If the pile has less than K bananas, then she consumes all of them instead, and won't eat any more bananas during this hour. Consider Koko likes to eat slowly, but still wants to finish eating all the bananas before the guards come back. We have to find the minimum integer ...
Read MoreStone Game in C++
Suppose we have two players Alex and Lee they play a game with piles of stones. There are an even number of piles that are arranged in a row, and each pile has some number of stones piles[i]. The objective of the game is to end with the most stones. When the total number of stones is odd, there are no ties. Alex and Lee take turns, with Alex starting first. In each turn, a player takes the entire pile of stones from either the beginning or the end of the row. This will be continued until there are no ...
Read MoreRemove All Adjacent Duplicates in String II in C++
Suppose a string s is given, a k duplicate removal consists of choosing k adjacent and equal letters from string s and removing them causing the left and the right side of the deleted substring to concatenate together. We will repeatedly make k duplicate removals on the given string s until we cannot change any remaining. We have to find the final string after all such duplicate removals have been made. So if the input is like s = “deeedbbcccbdaa”, and k = 3, then the output will be “aa”, at first delete the “eee” and “ccc” and we will ...
Read MoreBoats to Save People in C++
Suppose we have an array called people. Now the i-th person has weight people[i], and each boat can carry a maximum weight of limit. If each boat carries at most 2 people at the same time, provided the sum of the weight of those people is at most limit. We have to find the minimum number of boats to carry every given person. So if the input is like [3,2,1,2], and limit is 3, then we need three boats. [(1,2), (2), (3)].To solve this, we will follow these steps −sort the people arrayi := 0, j := size of people array – 1, ret := 0while i
Read MoreStepping Numbers in C++
Suppose we have two integers low and high, we have to find and show a sorted list of all the Stepping Numbers in the range [low, high] inclusive. A Stepping Number is an integer means all of its adjacent digits have an absolute difference of exactly 1. For example, 321 is a Stepping Number but 421 is not. So if the input is like low := 0 and high := 21, then the result will be [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 21]To solve this, we will follow these steps −create one array tempmake ...
Read MorePath with Maximum Gold in C++
Suppose in a gold mine grid of size m * n, each cell in this mine has an integer representing the amount of gold in that cell, 0 means that is empty. We have to find the maximum amount of gold that you can collect under the conditions −Every time we are pointing a cell we will collect all the gold in that cell.From our position we can walk one step to the left, right, up or down.We cannot visit the same cell more than once.Never visit a cell with 0 gold.So if the input is like [[0, 6, 0], ...
