Longest Well-Performing Interval in Python
Suppose we have hours list, this is a list of the number of hours worked per day for a given employee. Here a day is considered to be a tiring day if and only if the number of hours worked is (strictly) greater than 8. One well-performing interval is an interval of days for which the number of tiring days is strictly larger than the number of non-tiring days. We have to find the length of the longest well-performing interval. So if the input is like [9, 9, 6, 0, 6, 6, 9], so then then the output will be ...
Read MoreKoko Eating Bananas in C++
Suppose we have N piles of bananas, the i-th pile has piles[i] bananas. Here the guards have gone and will come back in H hours. Koko can decide her bananas-per-hour eating speed is K. Each hour, she takes some pile of bananas, and eats K bananas from that pile. If the pile has less than K bananas, then she consumes all of them instead, and won't eat any more bananas during this hour. Consider Koko likes to eat slowly, but still wants to finish eating all the bananas before the guards come back. We have to find the minimum integer ...
Read MoreStone Game in C++
Suppose we have two players Alex and Lee they play a game with piles of stones. There are an even number of piles that are arranged in a row, and each pile has some number of stones piles[i]. The objective of the game is to end with the most stones. When the total number of stones is odd, there are no ties. Alex and Lee take turns, with Alex starting first. In each turn, a player takes the entire pile of stones from either the beginning or the end of the row. This will be continued until there are no ...
Read MoreRemove All Adjacent Duplicates in String II in C++
Suppose a string s is given, a k duplicate removal consists of choosing k adjacent and equal letters from string s and removing them causing the left and the right side of the deleted substring to concatenate together. We will repeatedly make k duplicate removals on the given string s until we cannot change any remaining. We have to find the final string after all such duplicate removals have been made. So if the input is like s = “deeedbbcccbdaa”, and k = 3, then the output will be “aa”, at first delete the “eee” and “ccc” and we will ...
Read MoreBoats to Save People in C++
Suppose we have an array called people. Now the i-th person has weight people[i], and each boat can carry a maximum weight of limit. If each boat carries at most 2 people at the same time, provided the sum of the weight of those people is at most limit. We have to find the minimum number of boats to carry every given person. So if the input is like [3,2,1,2], and limit is 3, then we need three boats. [(1,2), (2), (3)].To solve this, we will follow these steps −sort the people arrayi := 0, j := size of people array – 1, ret := 0while i
Read MoreStepping Numbers in C++
Suppose we have two integers low and high, we have to find and show a sorted list of all the Stepping Numbers in the range [low, high] inclusive. A Stepping Number is an integer means all of its adjacent digits have an absolute difference of exactly 1. For example, 321 is a Stepping Number but 421 is not. So if the input is like low := 0 and high := 21, then the result will be [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 21]To solve this, we will follow these steps −create one array tempmake ...
Read MorePath with Maximum Gold in C++
Suppose in a gold mine grid of size m * n, each cell in this mine has an integer representing the amount of gold in that cell, 0 means that is empty. We have to find the maximum amount of gold that you can collect under the conditions −Every time we are pointing a cell we will collect all the gold in that cell.From our position we can walk one step to the left, right, up or down.We cannot visit the same cell more than once.Never visit a cell with 0 gold.So if the input is like [[0, 6, 0], ...
Read MoreFind a Corresponding Node of a Binary Tree in a Clone of That Tree in C++
Suppose we have two binary trees original and cloned and given a reference to a node target in the original tree. The cloned tree is actually a copy of the original tree. We have to find a reference to the same node in the cloned tree.So if the tree is like below and the target is 3, then the output will be 3.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a method called solve(), this will take the node1m node2 and targetif node1 is null, then return nullif node1 is target and value of node 1 is the value ...
Read MoreDice Roll Simulation in C++
Suppose a die simulator generates a random number from 1 to 6 for each roll. We want to introduced a constraint to the generator such that it cannot roll the number i more than rollMax[i] (1-indexed) consecutive times. Consider we have an array of integers rollMax and an integer n, we have to return the number of distinct sequences that can be obtained with exact n rolls. The two sequences are considered different if at least one element differs from each other. So if n is 2, then rollMax = [1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3], then the output will ...

Suppose we have an array A of non-negative integers. For every (contiguous) subarray say B = [A[i], A[i+1], ..., A[j]] (with i
