Suppose we have a string S with possible characters '0', '1' or '?'. We want to make string T by replacing each occurrence of '?' with 0 or 1. The unbalancedness of T is like: maximum of the all absolute differences between number of occurrences of 0 and 1 in ... Read More

Suppose, there is a manufacturer that makes specific parts for a particular product. The manufacturer has n different variations of the parts, and the parts have a specific rating on three criteria. The ratings of the n products are given in the array 'ratings' where each element is of the ... Read More

Suppose, there are n cities and m roads are connecting them. Each road is unidirectional, and it takes a particular amount of time to reach from the source city to the destination city. The information of the roads is given in the array roads where each element is of the ... Read More

Suppose, we have a permutation of integers 'seq' and an array of integer pairs 'pairs' of size m that contains integers 0 to n - 1. Now, we perform the following operation on seq as many times as possible so that seq[i] = i (0 ≤ i < n) is ... Read More

Suppose, we are given 2n number of coordinates on a two-dimensional plane. The 2n coordinates are divided into two arrays coordA, and coordB. The coordinates are represented as integer pairs. Now we have to form coordinate pairs that will contain one point from coordA and one point from coordB. We ... Read More

Suppose, we are given a minimally connected graph. That means removing any edge will make the graph disconnected. The graph has n vertices and the edges are given in an array 'edges'. There is also an array 'vertexValues' given to us that contain n integer values.Now, we do the following ... Read More

Suppose, we are given n three-dimensional coordinates. The cost to travel from coordinate (a, b, c) to (x, y, z) is ∣ x − a∣ + ∣ y − b∣ + max(0, z − c). We start from the first coordinate, then visit all the coordinates at least once, and ... Read More

Suppose, we have a grid of dimensions h x w. The grid is represented in a 2D array called ‘initGrid’, where each cell in the grid is either represented by a '#' or a '.'. '#' means that the grid contains an obstacle and '.' means that there is a ... Read More

Suppose, we have a n x n matrix. Each element in the matrix is unique and is an integer number between 1 and n2. Now we can perform the operations below in any amount and any order.We pick any two integers x and y that are in the matrix, where ... Read More

Suppose, we are given a grid of dimensions h x w. Each cell in the grid contains some positive integer number. Now there is a path-finding robot placed on a particular cell (p, q) (where p is the row number and q is the column number of a cell) and ... Read More
