Suppose we have three numbers a, b and c. There are three sticks whose lengths are a, b and c. In one minute, we can pick one arbitrary stick and increase its length by 1 cm, but we cannot break sticks. We have to count the minimum number of minutes ... Read More

Suppose we have three strings S, T and U of same length n. For every index i in range 0 to n-1, we must swap U[i] with either S[i] or T[i]. So in total we have performed n swapping operations. We have to check whether after such n operations we ... Read More

Suppose we have two numbers n and s. We have to find the maximum possible median of an array of n non-negative elements, such that the sum of elements is same as s.So, if the input is like n = 3; s = 5, then the output will be 2, ... Read More

Suppose we have two numbers n and k. We have to construct a permutation A using the numbers from 1 to n which has exactly k peaks. An index i is said to be peak of an array A, if A[i] > A[i-1] and A[i] > A[i+1]. If this is ... Read More

Suppose we have an array A with n elements. There are n planes on Earth and they are numbered from 1 to n. The plane with number i likes plane A[i]. A[i] != i. We have to check whether there are three planes p, q, and r where p likes ... Read More

Suppose we have a number n. An array B is good if the sum of its elements is divisible by the length of this array. We can say an array A with n elements is perfect, if non-empty subarray of this array A is good and elements in A is ... Read More

Suppose we have an array A with n elements and another number k is there. Consider there are n problems on a contest. Amal's problem solving skill is k. Amal always solves problem from any of the ends of a list. And He cannot solve problem whose difficulty is greater ... Read More

Suppose we have three numbers c0, c1 and h, and a binary string S. We can flip any bit in S. We should pay h coins for each change. After some changes (possibly zero) we want to buy the string. To buy the string we should buy all its characters. ... Read More

Suppose we have two numbers a and b. Amal and Bimal are playing a game. First each of them writes an integer from 1 to 6, then a dice is thrown. The player whose written number got closer to the number written on the paper, he wins that round, if ... Read More

Suppose we have a number n. A number is a binary decimal if it's a positive integer and all digits in its decimal notation are either 0 or 1. For example, 1001 (one thousand and one) is a binary decimal, while 1021 are not. From the number n, we have ... Read More
