Suppose we have a sequence X_1, X_2, ..., X_n is fibonacci-like if −n >= 3X_i + X_{i+1} = X_{i+2} for all i + 2 = 3 otherwise return 0.Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −Example#include using namespace std; class Solution {    public:    int lenLongestFibSubseq(vector & A) {       int ret = 0;       unordered_map m;       int n = A.size();       vector < vector > dp(n, vector (n));       for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){         ...

Suppose we have a 2 dimensional grid with R rows and C columns, we start from (r0, c0) facing east. Here, the north-west corner of the grid is at the first row and column, and the south-east corner of the grid is at the last row and column. We will walk in a clockwise spiral shape to visit every position in this grid. When we are at the outside the boundary of the grid, we continue our walk outside the grid (but may return to the grid boundary later.). We have to find a list of coordinates representing the positions ...

Suppose we have an array A, we have to partition it into two subarrays left and right such that −Every element in left subarray is less than or equal to every element in right subarray.left and right subarrays are non-empty.left subarray has the smallest possible size.We have to find the length of left after such a partitioning. It is guaranteed that such a partitioning exists.So if the input is like [5, 0, 3, 8, 6], then the output will be 3, as left array will be [5, 0, 3] and right subarray will be [8, 6].To solve this, we will ...

Suppose we have two lists of closed intervals, here each list of intervals is pairwise disjoint and in sorted order. We have ti find the intersection of these two interval lists.We know that the closed interval [a, b] is denoted as a A[i][1] or A[i][1] B[j][1] or B[j][1] B[j][1]:          j+=1       else:          i+=1    return result    def intersect(self,a,b):       if a[0]=b[0]:          return True       if b[0]=a[0]:          return True       return False ob = Solution() print(ob.intervalIntersection([[0,2],[5,10],[13,23],[24,25]],[[1,5],[8,12],[15,24],[25,27]]))Input[[0,2],[5,10],[13,23],[24,25]] [[1,5],[8,12],[15,24],[25,27]]Output[[1, 2], [5, 5], [8, 10], [15, 23], [24, 24], [25, 25]]

Suppose we have a string, that string is a valid parentheses string (denoted VPS) if and only if it consists of "(" and ")" characters only, and it satisfies these properties −It is the empty string, orIt can be written as AB, where A and B are VPS's, orIt can be written as (A), where A is a VPS.We can also define the nesting depth depth(S) of any VPS S like below −depth("") = 0depth(A + B) = max of depth(A), depth(B), where A and B are VPS'sdepth("(" + A + ")") = 1 + depth(A), where A is a ...

Suppose we have a 2D grid consists of 0s (as land) and 1s (as water). An island is a maximal 4- directionally connected group of 0s. A closed island is an island totally surrounded by 1s. We have to find the number of closed islands. So if the grid is like1111111010000110101011101000010111111110So the output will be 2. There are two islands, that are completely surrounded by water.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a variable flagDefine a method called dfs, this will take the grid, i, j, n and mif i and j are not inside the range of ...

Suppose we have a list of words, a list of single letters and score for every character. We have to find the maximum score of any valid set of words formed by using the given letters.We may not use all characters in letters and each letter can only be used once. Score of letters 'a', 'b', 'c', ... ,'z' is given by score[0], score[1], ... , score[25] respectively.So, if the input is like words = ["god", "good", "toc", "cat"], letters = [a, g, o, o, d, d, d, c, t, t] and score = [5, 0, 8, 3, 0, 0, ...

Suppose we have a list of dominos. Each domino has two numbers. Two dominos D[i] = [a, b] and D[j] = [c, d] will be same if a = c and b = d, or a = d and b = c. So one domino can be reversed. We have to return number of pairs (i, j) for which 0

Suppose we have a grid of binary values (0s and 1s) the 1s in a cell represent the bricks. A brick will not drop when that satisfies these conditions −Either brick is directly connected to the top of the gridor at least one of its adjacent (top, bottom, left, right) bricks will not drop.We will do some erasures sequentially. In each case we want to do the erasure at the location (i, j), the brick (if that is present) on that location will disappear, and then some other bricks may drop because of that erasure. We have to find the ...

Suppose we have one integer array called nums. The value of this array is defined as the sum of |nums[i]-nums[i+1]| for all i in range 0 to n - 1. Where n is the size of the array. We can select any subarray of the given array and reverse it. We can perform this operation only once. Then we have to find the maximum possible value of the final array.So, if the input is like [1, 5, 4, 2, 3], then the output will be 10.To solve this, we will follow these steps −ret := 0, extra := 0n := ...
