Similar String Groups in C++
Suppose we have two strings X and Y, these are similar if we can swap two letters of X, so that it equals Y. Also two the strings X and Y are similar if they are equal. As an example, consider, two strings are like "tars" and "rats" are similar, if we swap t and r, then we can find another, now "rats" and "arts" are similar, but "star" is not similar to "tars", "rats", or "arts". Now we can see, these form two connected groups by similarity: {"tars", "rats", "arts"} and {"star"}. Here "tars" and "arts" are in the ...
Read MoreFind the Difference in C++
Suppose we have two strings s and t which consist of only lowercase letters. Now, string t is generated by random shuffling string s and then add one more letter at a random index. We have to find the letter that was added in t.So, if the input is like "mnopq", "pqmnot", then the output will be "t", this is the extra letter.To solve this, we will follow these steps −sSum := 0, tSum := 0for initialize i := 0, when i < call length() of s, update (increase i by 1), do −sSum := sSum + s[i]for initialize j ...
Read MoreShortest Path Visiting All Nodes in C++
Suppose we have one undirected, connected graph with N nodes these nodes are labeled as 0, 1, 2, ..., N-1. graph length will be N, and j is not same as i is in the list graph[i] exactly once, if and only if nodes i and j are connected. We have to find the length of the shortest path that visits every node. We can start and stop at any node, we can revisit nodes multiple times, and we can reuse edges.So, if the input is like [[1], [0, 2, 4], [1, 3, 4], [2], [1, 2]], then the output ...
Read MoreConvert a Number to Hexadecimal in C++
Suppose we have an integer; we have to devise an algorithm to convert it to hexadecimal. For negative numbers we will use the two’s complement method.So, if the input is like 254 and -12, then the output will be fe and fffffff4 respectively.To solve this, we will follow these steps −if num1 is same as 0, then −return "0"num := num1s := blank stringwhile num is non-zero, do −temp := num mod 16if temp
Read MoreK-Similar Strings in C++
Suppose we have two strings A and B. These two strings are K-similar (where K is one nonnegative integer) if we can swap the positions of two letters in A exactly K times so that the resulting string is B. So, we have two anagrams A and B, we have to find the smallest K for which A and B are K-similar.So, if the input is like A = "abc", B = "bac", then the output will be 2.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function swapp(), this will take string s, i, j, x := s[i], ...
Read MoreMinimum Cost to Hire K Workers in C++
Suppose there are N workers. Each worker has the quality parameter. The i-th worker has a quality[i] and a minimum wage expectation wage[i]. Now we want to hire K workers to form a paid group. When we are hiring a group of K workers, we must pay them according to the following rules −Each worker in the paid group should be paid in the ratio of their quality by comparing with others in the paid group.Every worker in the paid group must be paid at least their minimum wage expectation.We have to find the least amount of money needed to ...
Read MoreLongest Palindrome in C++
Suppose we have a string which consists of lowercase or uppercase letters, we have to find the length of the longest palindromes that can be built with those letters. Now the string is case sensitive, so "Aa" is not considered a palindrome here.So, if the input is like "abccccdd", then the output will be 7, as one longest palindrome that can be built is "dccaccd", whose length is 7.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define one map mpfor each character i in s(increase mp[i] by 1)ma := 0, c := 0, ans := 0for each key-value pair i ...
Read MoreShortest Subarray with Sum at Least K in C++
Suppose we have an array A. We have to find the length of the shortest, non-empty, contiguous subarray of A whose sum is at least K. If there is no such subarray, then return -1.So, if the input is like [5, 3, -2, 2, 1] and k = 6, then the output will be 2, as we can see (5+3) >= 6To solve this, we will follow these steps −n := size of Aans := n + 1, j := 0, sum := 0Define one deque dqfor initialize i := 0, when i < n, update (increase i by 1), ...
Read MoreMinimum Number of Refueling Stops in C++
Suppose there is a car, that travels from a starting position to a destination which is t miles east of the starting position.Now along the way, there are many gas stations. So each station[i] represents a gas station that is station[i][0] miles east of the starting position, and that station has station[i][1] liters of gas.If the car starts with an infinite size of gas tank, which initially has startFuel liters of fuel in it. It uses 1 liter of gas per 1 mile that it drives.When the car reaches one gas station, it may stop and refuel, so now it ...
Read MoreThird Maximum Number in C++
Suppose we have a non-empty array of integers; we have to find the third maximum number in this array. If there is no 3rd max number, then return the maximum one. The challenge is, we have to solve this using linear time complexity.So, if the input is like [5, 3, 8, 9, 1, 4, 6, 2], then the output will be 6.To solve this, we will follow these steps −initialize a, b, c with NULLfor initialize i := 0, when i < size of nums, update (increase i by 1), do −if a is null or nums[i] >= value of ...
