Suppose we have an integer n, we have to generate all structurally unique binary search trees that store values from 1 to n. So if the input is 3, then the trees will be −To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define one recursive function called generate(), this will take low and highdefine one tree node called temp.if low > high, then insert null into the temp, and return tempfor i in range low to highleft_subtree := generate(low, i – 1)right_subtree := generate(i + 1, high)current := ifor j in range 0 to size of the left_subtreefor k in ...

Suppose we have a binary tree containing digits from 0-9 only, here all root-to-leaf path could represent a number.So if the tree is like −This is representing two paths 21 and 23, so the output will be 21 + 23 = 44.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Create one recursive function called dfs(), this will take root, and num. initially num = 0if the node is not nullnum := num * 10 + value of nodeif node right is not null and node left is not null, then’sum := sum + numnum := num / 10return from the ...

Suppose we have coins of different denominations and a total amount of money amount. We have to define one function to compute the fewest number of coins that we need to make up that amount. When that amount of money cannot be accommodated by any combination of the coins, return -1. So if the input is [1, 2, 5], and the amount is 11, the output is 3. This is formed using 5 + 5 + 1 = 11.To solve this, we will follow these steps −if amount = 0, then return 0if minimum of coins array > amount, then ...

There are n stairs. One person will go to 1st to nth stairs. Maximum how many stairs he/she can cross in one step is also given. With this information, we have to find possible ways to go to the nth stairs. Let us consider one can cross a maximum two stairs in each step. So we can find recursive relations to solve this problem. One can move to nth stair, either from (n-1)th stair or from (n-2)th stair. So ways(n) = ways(n-1) + ways(n-2).Suppose the number of stairs, say 10, the maximum number of stairs that can be jumped in ...

Suppose we have a string A, we have to find another string B, that will be palindrome. And the given string A will be subsequence of B. The subsequence of a string is a string that can be formed by it by deleting some characters without changing the order of remaining characters. Suppose the string is “cotst”, then generated string will be “contest”. For the input of this program we have chosen A = “ab”, the generated string will be “abba”, this is palindrome.To solve this, we will follow this approach. This is very simple, we will reverse the A, ...

Suppose there is an n x n matrix mat of integers. we have to find maximum value of mat(c, d) - mat(a, b) over all choices of indexes. Here we have to keep in mind that c > a and d > b. So if the matrix is like −12-1-4-20-8-342138613-4-117-60-410-51The output will be 18. This is because mat[4, 2] - mat[1, 0] = 18 has maximum difference.To solve this we will preprocess the matrix such that index(i, j) stores max of elements in matrix from (i, j) to (n - 1, n - 1) and in the process keeps on ...

Suppose there is an array of n numbers. We have to find three numbers, such that sum of two elements is same as the third one. So if the array is like [5, 32, 1, 7, 10, 50, 19, 21, 2], the output will be 21, 2, 19. If no such element has found, display that message.To solve this, we will follow some steps as follows −Sort the given arrayThen start fixing the greatest element from the last element and traverse the array to find other two numbers which sum up to the third element.Take two pointers j and k, ...

In case of given m elements of different weights and bins each of capacity C, assign each element to a bin so that number of total implemented bins is minimized. Assumption should be that all elements have weights less than bin capacity.ApplicationsPlacing data on multiple disks.Loading of containers like trucks.Packing advertisements in fixed length radio/TV station breaks.Job scheduling.ExampleInput: weight[] = {4, 1, 8, 1, 4, 2} Bin Capacity c = 10 Output: 2 We require at least 2 bins to accommodate all elements First bin consists {4, 4, 2} and second bin {8, 2}Lower BoundWe can always calculate a lower ...

Suppose we have a matrix M. This is filled with stars and letters. We have to find which letter has maximum number of stars around it. So if the matrix is like below −Here A and C has 7 stars around it. this is maximum. As A is lexicographically smaller, so it will be the output.The approach is simple, we will count the characters, then when one character has found, then count the stars around it. Also store the value inside a map. From the map where the size is maximum that will be printed.Example#include #include #define MAX 4 ...

Suppose we a binary matrix. Here we will see how to find the duplicate rows in that matrix. Suppose the matrix is like −110101001001101100110101001001001001There are duplicate rows at position 3, 4, 5.To solve this, we will use the Trie. The Trie is an efficient data structure used for strong and retrieval of data where character set is small. The search complexity is optimal as the key length. So at first we will insert the binary trie. If the newly added row is already present, then that is duplicate.Example#include using namespace std; const int MAX = 100; class Trie {   ...
