   Suppose we have one m x n matrix. We have to write an efficient algorithm that searches for a value in that matrix. This matrix has the following properties −Integers in each row are sorted in ascending from left to right.Integers in each column are sorted in ascending from top to bottom.So if the matrix is like −14711152581219369162210131417241821232630If target is 5, then return true, if target is 20, then return falseTo solve this, we will follow these steps −len := number of columns, c1 := 0, c2 := len – 1while trueif matrix[c1, c2] = target, then return trueelse ...

Suppose we have two binary search trees, we have to return a list of values, that has all elements present in these trees, and the list elements will be in ascending order. So if the trees are like −Then the output will be [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4].To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define an array called ans, define two stacks st1 and st2curr1 := root1 and curr2 := root2insert node root1 and all left nodes into st1, insert node root2 and all left nodes into st2while st1 is not empty or st2 is not emptyif st1 ...

Suppose we have a complete binary tree, where each node has following fields: (data, left, right, next), the left will point to left subtree, right will point to right subtree, and the next pointer will point to the next node. If there is no node in the right hand side, then that will be null. So initially each next pointer is set to null, we have to make the links. Suppose the tree is like the first one, it will be converted to the next node −To solve this, we will follow these steps −set pre := root, nextPre := ...

Suppose we have a positive integer n, find the least number of perfect square numbers whose sum is n. So if the number is 13, then the output is 2, as the numbers are 13 = 9 + 4To solve this, we will follow these steps −create one table for dynamic programming, of length n + 1, and fill it with infinitydp[0] := 0for i := 1, when i*i dp(n+1,INF);       dp[0] = 0;       for(int i =1;i*i

Suppose we have an array of non-negative integers arr, we are initially positioned at start index of the array. When we are present at index i, we can jump to i + arr[i] or i - arr[i], check if we can reach to any index with value 0. We have to keep in mind that we cannot jump outside of the array at any time. So if the input is like: arr = [4, 2, 3, 0, 3, 1, 2] and start from 5, then output will be true, as move 5 → 4 → 1 → 3, or 5 ...

Suppose we have an array nums containing n + 1 integers. The members are in range 1 to n. prove that at least one duplicate number must be there. Assume that there is only one duplicate number, we have to find that duplicate element. So if the array is like [1, 3, 4, 2, 2], then the duplicate element will be 2.To solve this, we will follow these steps −a := nums[0] and b := nums[0]while Truea := nums[nums[a]]b := nums[b]if a = b, then breakptr := nums[0]while ptr is not bptr := nums[ptr]b := nums[b]return ptrLet us see the ...

Suppose we have the array arr of positive integers and the array queries where queries[i] = [Li, Ri], for each query the i compute the XOR of elements from Li to Ri (that is, arr[Li] XOR arr[Li+1] xor ... xor arr[Ri] ). We have to find the array containing the result for the given queries. So if the input is like − [1, 3, 4, 8], and queries are like [[0, 1], [1, 2], [0, 3], [3, 3]], then the result will be [2, 7, 14, 8]. This is because the binary representation of the elements in the array are ...

Suppose we have an array of restaurants where restaurants[i] have [idi, ratingi, vegan friendly, pricei, distancei]. We have to filter the restaurants using three filters.The vegan-friendly filter will be either true (meaning we should only include restaurants with vegan-friendly set to true) or false (meaning we can include any restaurant).The maxPrice filter and max distance filter which are the maximum value for price and distance of restaurants we should consider respectively.We have to find the array of restaurant IDs after filtering, ordered by rating from highest to lowest. For restaurants with the same rating, order them by id in decreasing ...

Suppose we have an unsorted list of integers. We have to find the longest increasing subsequence. So if the input is [10, 9, 2, 5, 3, 7, 101, 18], then the output will be 4, as the increasing subsequence is [2, 3, 7, 101]To solve this, we will follow these steps −trail := an array of length 0 to length of nums – 1, and fill this with 0size := 0for x in numsi := 0, j := sizewhile i is not jmid := i + (j - i) / 2if trails[mid] < x, then i := mid + 1, ...
