Count Binary Substrings in C++
Suppose we have a string s, we have to find the count of contiguous substrings that have the same number of 0's and 1's, and all the 0's and all the 1's in these substrings are grouped consecutively. If substrings occur multiple times are counted the number of times they occur.So, if the input is like "11001100", then the output will be 6, as the substrings are "1100", "10", "0011", "01", "1100", "10".To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define an array cnt of size 2 and fill this with 0res := 0for initialize i := 0, when i ...
Read MorePaint House II in C++
Suppose we have n houses in a row, now each house can be painted with one of the k colors. The painting cost of each house with a certain color is different. Now we have to keep in mind that we have to paint all the houses such that no two adjacent houses have the same color.The cost of painting each house with a certain color is represented by a matrix of order n x k. And we have to find the minimum cost to paint all houses.So, if the input is like153294then the output will be 5, as paint ...
Read MoreAlien Dictionary in C++
Suppose there is a new alien language and that uses the latin alphabet. However, the order among letters are not known. We have a list of non-empty words from the dictionary, these words are sorted lexicographically by the rules of this new language. we have to find the order of letters in this language.So, if the input is like ["wrt", "wrf", "er", "ett", "rftt" ], then the output will be "wertf"To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define one map called degreeDefine one map called graphn := size of wordsfor initialize i := 0, when i < size of ...
Read MoreDegree of an Array in C++
Suppose we have an array of non-negative integers called nums, the degree of this array is actually the maximum frequency of any one of its elements. We have to find the smallest possible length of a contiguous subarray of nums, that has the same degree as nums.So, if the input is like [1, 2, 2, 3, 1], then the output will be 2, this is because the input array has a degree of 2 because both elements 1 and 2 appear twice. The subarrays that have the same degree − [1, 2, 2, 3, 1], [1, 2, 2, 3], [2, ...
Read MoreClosest Binary Search Tree Value II in C++
Suppose we have a binary search tree and a target value; we have to find k values in that BST that are closest to the target. We have to keep in mind that the target value is a floating-point number. We can assume k is always valid, and k ≤ total nodes.So, if the input is liketarget = 3.714286, and k = 2, then the output will be [4, 3]To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function pushSmaller(), this will take node, stack st, and target, while node is not present, do −if val of node < ...
Read MoreKth Largest Element in a Stream in Python
Suppose we want to design a class to find the kth largest element in a stream. It is the kth largest element in the sorted order, not the kth distinct element.The KthLargest class will have a constructor which accepts an integer k and an array nums, that will contain initial elements from the stream. For each call to the method KthLargest.add, will return the element representing the kth largest element in the stream.So, if the input is like k = 3, initial elements = [4, 5, 8, 2], then call add(3), add(5), add(10), add(9), add(4). , then the output will ...
Read MoreBest Meeting Point in C++
Suppose there is a group of two or more people and they wants to meet and minimize the total travel distance. We have a 2D grid of values 0 or 1, where each 1 mark the home of someone in the group. The distance is calculated using the formula of Manhattan Distance, so distance(p1, p2) = |p2.x - p1.x| + |p2.y - p1.y|.So, if the input is like100010000000100then the output will be 6 as from the matrix we can understand that three people living at (0, 0), (0, 4), and (2, 2): The point (0, 2) is an ideal meeting ...
Read MoreSerialize and Deserialize Binary Tree in C++
Suppose we have one binary tree and we have to serialize and deserialize them. As we know that the serialization is the process of converting a data structure or object into a sequence of bits so we can store them in a file or memory buffer, and that can be reconstructed later in the same or another computer environment.Here we have to devise an algorithm to serialize and deserialize binary tree. The binary tree is a rooted tree in which each node has no more than 2 children.So, if the input is likethen the output will be Serialize − 1 ...
Read MoreDesign HashMap in Python
Suppose we want to design a HashMap without using any built-in hash table libraries. There will be different functions as follows −put(key, value) − This will insert a value associated with key into the HashMap. If the value already exists in the HashMap, update the value.get(key) − This will return the value to which the specified key is mapped, otherwise -1 when this map contains no mapping for the key.remove(key) − This will Remove the mapping for the value key if this map contains the mapping for the key.So, if the input is like After initialization, call the put and ...
Read MoreSmallest Rectangle Enclosing Black Pixels in C++
Suppose we have an image and that image is represented by a binary matrix with 0 as a white pixel and 1 as a black pixel. Here the black pixels are connected, so there is only one black region. Pixels are connected horizontally and vertically. If we have a location (x, y) of one of the black pixels, we have to find the area of the smallest (axis-aligned) rectangle that encloses all black pixels.So, if the input is like001001100100and x = 0, y = 2, then the output will be 6To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define one ...
