ProblemWe are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of numbers, arr, as the first and the only argument.Our function is supposed to find the smallest possible length of a (contiguous) subarray of the array arr, that has the same greatest frequency of any element as the whole array.For example, if the input to the function isInputconst arr = [55, 77, 77, 88, 55];Outputconst output = 2;Output ExplanationThe input array has the greatest frequency for any element of 2 because both elements 55 and 77 appear twice.Of the subarrays that have the greatest frequency as the ...

Transpose of a matrixThe transpose of a matrix is the one whose rows are columns of the original matrix, i.e. if A and B are two matrices such that the rows of the matrix B are the columns of the matrix A then Matrix B is said to be the transpose of Matrix A.The logic used to change m(i, j) matrix to m(j, i) is as follows −for (i = 0;i < m;i++)    for (j = 0; j < n; j++)       transpose[j][i] = matrix[i][j];Program 1In this example, we shall print the transpose of a matrix using for ...

To remove a character in an R data frame column, we can use gsub() function which will replace the character with blank. For example, if we have a data frame called df that contains a character column say x which has a character ID in each value then it can be removed by using the command gsub("ID", "", as.character(df$x)).Example1Consider the below data frame −> x1 x2 df1 df1Output        x1  x2 1    Male1  8 2  Female1  4 3    Male1  9 4    Male1  2 5    Male1  7 6  Female1  5 7    Male1  3 8 ...

We know that functions can be called by value and called by reference.If the actual parameter should not change in called function, pass the parameter-by value.If the value of actual parameter should get changed in called function, then use pass-by reference.If the function has to return more than one value, return these values indirectly by using call-by-reference. Read Also: Function Call by Value in C and Function Call by Reference in C ExampleFollowing is the C program for the demonstration of returning the multiple values −#include void main() {    void areaperi(int, int*, int*);    int r;    float a, ...

The list in python is a collection of similar items. We may at times need to compare data items in the two lists to perform certain operations. We will discuss certain methods to compare two lists in python.Using list.sort() and == operatorThe list.sort() method sorts the two lists and the == operator compares the two lists item by item which means they have equal data items at equal positions. This checks if the list contains equal data item values but it does not take into account the order of elements in the list. This means that the list [1, 2, ...
