Problem statementGiven four sides of quadrilateral a, b, c, d, find the maximum area of the quadrilateral possible from the given sides.AlgorithmWe can use below Brahmagupta’s formula to solve this problem −√(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)(s-d)In above formula s is semi-perimeter. It is calculated as follows −S = (a + b + c + d) / 2ExampleLet us now see an example −#include using namespace std; double getMaxArea(double a, double b, double c, double d) {    double s = (a + b + c + d) / 2;    double area = (s - a) * (s - b) * (s - ...

Problem statementGiven two same sized arrays A[] and B[]. Task is to form a third array of same size. The result array should have maximum n elements from both array. It should have chosen elements of A[] first, then chosen elements of B[] in same order as they appear in original arrays. If there are common elements, then only one element should be present in res[] and priority should be given to A[]ExampleIf input arrays are −arr1[] = {9, 17, 2, 25, 6} arr2[] = {17, 4, 8, 10, 1} then final array is: {9, 17, 25, 8, 10}Please note ...

Problem statementGiven an array arr[] and two integers X and Y. The task is to find a sub-array of size of at least X and at most Y with the maximum averageExampleIf input array is {2, 10, 15, 7, 8, 4} and x = 3 and Y = 3 then we can obtain maximum average 12.5 as follows −(10 + 15) / 2 = 12.5AlgorithmIterate over every sub-array of size starting from X to size Y and find the maximum average among all such sub-arrays.To reduce the time complexity, we can use prefix sum array to get the sum of ...

Problem statementWe have given a positive number n, and we have to find a 3*3 matrix which can be formed with combination of 0 or n and has maximum determinants.ExampleIf n = 15 then we can create matrix as follows −{{15, 15, 0}{0, 15, 15}{15, 0, 0}}For any 3*3 matrix having elements either 0 or n, the maximum possible determinant is 2 *(n)3. Hence answer is −2 * (15)3 = 6750AlgorithmFor any 3*3 matrix having elements either 0 or n, the maximum possible determinant is 2 *(n)3ExampleLet us now see an example −#include using namespace std; int getMaxDeterminant(int n){ ...

Problem statementGiven an array of N elements and two integers A, B which belongs to the given array. Create a Binary Search Tree by inserting element from arr[0] to arr[n-1]. The task is to find the maximum element in the path from A to B.ExampleIf array is {24, 23, 15, 36, 19, 41, 25, 35} the we can form BST as follows −If we consider A = 19 and B = 41 then maximum element between these two nodes is 41AlgorithmFind Lowest Common Ancestor(LCA) of node A and B.Find maximum node between LCA and A. Let us call it as ...

Updated on 11-Mar-2026 209 Views

In this problem, we are given an integer X. Our task is to find the total number of steps that are taken to transform from 0 to X.Valid transformation − One step is counted when one transformation takes place from A to B. The condition for the transform to take place is A != B and A & B = A (& is bitwise AND). So, 1 step is transforming from A to B and we have to create a program that will count the maximum number of steps to transform 0 to X.Let’s take an example to understand the ...

In this problem, we are given an array. Our task is to create a program that will find the maximum subarray sum after inverting at most two elements in C++.Problem description − Here, we can have to find the subarray that will produce the maximum sum on inverting the sign of any two numbers of the array.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Input − array = {-5, 1, 3, 8, -2, 4, 7}Output − 30Explanation − we will consider elements from index 0 to 6 and invert values -5 and -2 to get the array with max sum.To ...
