Find the only missing number in a sorted array using C++
In this problem, we are given an arr[] of size N containing values from 1 to N with one value missing in the array. Our task is to find the only missing number in a sorted array.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Inputarr[] = {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7}Output4Solution ApproachA simple solution to the problem is by traversing the sorted array linearly. And then check for the missing value using the fact that arr[i] = (i + 1).Example 1Program to illustrate the working of our solution#include using namespace std; int findMissingValArray(int arr[], int N){ for(int ...
Read MoreFind the only element that appears b times using C++
In this problem, we are given an arr[] of size n and two integers a and b. Our task is to find the only element that appears b times.All values of the array occur a time except one value which occurs b times in the array and we need to find that value.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Inputarr[] = {3, 3, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5, 1, 1, 1, 1} a = 4, b = 3Output5Solution ApproachA simple solution to the problem is by counting the occurrence of each element and then storing it in a 2D ...
Read MoreFind the only different element in an array using C++
In this problem, we are given an arr[] of size n. Our task is to find the only different element in an array.There are only two different types of elements in the array. All the elements are the same except one.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Inputarr[] = {1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1}Output2Solution ApproachA simple approach to solve the problem, we need to traverse the array and find elements which are different from other elements of the array. This approach needs a time complexity of O(N2).Another approach to solve the problem in O(N) is by ...
Read MoreFind the one missing number in range using C++
In this problem, we are given an arr[] of size n. Our task is to find the one missing number in range.The array consists of all values ranging from smallest value to (smallest + n). One element of the range is missing from the array. And we need to find this missing value.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Inputarr[] = {4, 8, 5, 7}Output6Solution ApproachA simple solution to the problem is by searching the missing element by sorting the array and then finding the first element of range starting from minimum value which is not present in the ...
Read MoreMaximum occurring character in an input string using C++
In this problem, we are given an input string of lowercase characters. Our task is to maximum occurring character in an input string.In case of multiple values with the same frequency of occurrence, we need to print lexicographically smaller values.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Inputstring = “programming”OutputgSolution ApproachTo find the solution to the problem, we need to sort the read string and then traverse the string so that we could find the character which has maximum occurrence in the string. We would use hashing method (hash table method) to conquer this problem. Traversing and hashing the each ...
Read MoreFind the number of zeroes using C++
In this problem, we are given a binary array bin[] consisting of only 0’s and 1’s. Our task is to find the number of zeroes.The array is sorted i.e. all 0’s are arranged together after 1’s.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Inputarr[] = {1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0}Output4Solution ApproachA simple solution to the problem is using the fact that the array is sorted, that is the number of 0’s in the array can be found using the first occurrence of 0 in the array. As after the first occurrence all values will be zero.For finding the ...
Read MoreFind the number of solutions to the given equation in C++
In this problem, we are given three integer values A, B, C. Our task is to find the number of solutions to the given equation.EquationX = B*Sm(X)^A + Cwhere Sm(X) is the sum of digits of X.We need to count all the values of X such that it satisfies the above equation where X can be any number between 1 to 109.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, InputA = 3, B = 6, C = 4Output3Solution ApproachA solution to solve the problem is by counting the number of values of X. For this, the sum of digits plays ...
Read MoreFind the number of stair steps using C++
In this problem, we are given a number N denoting the number of bricks provided to create the stair. Our task is to find the number of stair steps.Using the given bricks, we need to create a stair step. Each step takes one more brick that the last step. And the first step is two bricks high. We need to find the number of such steps that can be made from bricks.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, InputN = 40Output3ExplanationStep = 1 ; bricks required = 2; total bricks used = 2 ; bricks remaining = 38Step = ...
Read MoreFind the number of islands Using DFS in C++
In this problem, we are given a 2D binary matrix. Our task is to Find the number of islands Using DFS.Island is a ground of 1 or more connected 1’s in the matrix.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Input : bin[][] = {{ 1 0 0 0} {0 1 0 1} {0 0 0 0} {0 0 1 0}} Output : 3 ExplanationIslands are −bin00 - bin11bin13bin32 Solution ApproachTo solve the problem using DFS, we will use the DFS technique for exploring all the neighbours (maximum possible 8 of a number in the matrix) and ...
Read MoreProgram to find Nth Even Fibonacci Number in C++
In this problem, we are given an integer value N. Our task is to find Nth Even Fibonacci Number.Fibonacci Series generates subsequent number by adding two previous numbers. The Fibonacci series starts from two numbers − F0 & F1. The initial values of F0 & F1 can be taken 0, 1 or 1, 1 respectively.Let’s take an example to understand the problem, Input : N = 4 Output : 144Solution ApproachA simple solution to the problem is using the fact that every third number in the fibonacci sequence is even and the sequence of even numbers also follows the recursive ...
