We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a positive integer as the only argument. The function should find and return the square root of the number provided as the input.ExampleFollowing is the code −const squareRoot = (num, precision = 0) => {    if (num deviation) {       res -= ((res ** 2) - num) / (2 * res);    };    return Math.round(res * (10 ** precision)) / (10 ** precision); }; console.log(squareRoot(16)); console.log(squareRoot(161, 3)); console.log(squareRoot(1611, 4));OutputFollowing is the output on console −4 12.689 40.1373

We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in two arrays of literals, let’s call them arr1 and arr2.The function should find the longest common streak of literals in the arrays. The function should finally return an array of those literals.For example −If the input arrays are −const arr1 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']; const arr2 = ['k', 'j', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'w'];Then the output array should be −const output = ['b', 'c', 'd'];ExampleFollowing is the code −const arr1 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']; const arr2 = ['k', 'j', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'w']; const longestCommonSubsequence = ...

We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of array of positive and negative integers. Since the array also contains negative elements, the sum of contiguous elements can possibly be negative or positive.Our function should pick an array of contiguous elements from the array that sums the greatest. Finally, the function should return that array.For example −If the input array is −const arr = [-2, -3, 4, -1, -2, 1, 5, -3];Then the maximum possible sum is 7 and the output subarray should be −const output = [4, -1, -2, 1, 5];ExampleFollowing is the code ...

We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in two strings. Let’s call them str1 and str2. The function should then find out the longest consecutive string that is common to both the input strings and return that common string.For example −If the input strings are −const str1 = 'ABABC'; const str2 = 'BABCA';Then the output string should be −const output = 'BABC';ExampleFollowing is the code −const str1 = 'ABABC'; const str2 = 'BABCA'; const findCommon = (str1 = '', str2 = '') => {    const s1 = [...str1];    const s2 = [...str2];    const arr ...

Radix Sort Radix sort is a sorting algorithm that sorts data with integer keys by grouping keys by the individual digits which share the same significant position and value.We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of literals as the only argument. The function should sort the array in either increasing or decreasing order using the radix sort algorithm.ExampleFollowing is the code −const arr = [45, 2, 56, 2, 5, 6, 34, 1, 56, 89, 33]; const radixSort = (arr = []) => {    const base = 10;    let divider = 1;    let ...

Caesar Cipher AlgorithmThe Caesar Cipher algorithm is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques. It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet.For exampleWith a left shift of 3, D would be replaced by A, E would become B, and so on. We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a string to be encrypted as the first argument and a shift amount as the second argument.The shift amount can be a positive or negative integer ...

Suppose we have an array of m * n order. A person starts at the start block of the 2-D array (0, 0) and he wants to reach the end (m, n). The limitation is that at once, he can either move one step down or one step right.We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in the height and width of the 2-D grid.The function should find out the number of unique paths that are available to the person to reach to the end.ExampleFollowing is the code −const height = 3; const width = 4; const findUniquePath ...

We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of arrays of n * n order (square matrix). The function should rotate the array by 90 degrees (clockwise). The condition is that we have to do this in place (without allocating any extra array).For example −If the input array is −const arr = [    [1, 2, 3],    [4, 5, 6],    [7, 8, 9] ];Then the rotated array should look like −const output = [    [7, 4, 1],    [8, 5, 2],    [9, 6, 3], ];ExampleFollowing is the code −const arr = ...

Interpolation SearchInterpolation search is an algorithm for searching for a key in an array that has been ordered by numerical values assigned to the keys (key values).For exampleSuppose, we have a sorted array of n uniformly distributed values arr[], and we need to write a function to search for a particular element target in the array.It does the following operations to find the position −// The idea of the formula is to return a higher value of pos// when element to be searched is closer to arr[hi]. And// smaller value when closer to arr[lo]pos = lo + ((x - arr[lo]) ... Read More

Levenshtein DistanceThe Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the difference between two sequences. It is the minimum number of single-character edits required to change one word into the other.For example −Consider, we have these two strings −const str1 = 'hitting'; const str2 = 'kitten';The Levenshtein distance between these two strings is 3 because we are required to make these three edits −kitten → hitten (substitution of "h" for "k")hitten → hittin (substitution of "i" for "e")hittin → hitting (insertion of "g" at the end)We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in two strings and calculates ...
