Suppose we have a binary tree; we have to find the maximum sum of any path between any two nodes.So, if the input is likethen the output will be 62 as the nodes are [12, 13, 14, 16, 7].To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function utils() . This will take rootif root null, thenreturn 0l := utils(left of root)r := utils(right of root)max_single := maximum of (max of l and r) + value of root) and value of rootmax_top := maximum of max_single and l + r + value of rootres := maximum of res and ...

Suppose we have one n × n matrix containing values from 0 to n. Here 0 represents an unfilled square, we have to check whether we can fill empty squares such that in each row and each column every number from 1 to n appears exactly once.So, if the input is like002201123then the output will be True, as we can set the matrix to312231123To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function find_empty_cell() . This will take matrix, nfor i in range 0 to n, dofor j in range 0 to n, doif matrix[i, j] is same as ...

Suppose we have a number n, we have to check whether every rotation of n is prime or not.So, if the input is like n = 13, then the output will be True, as 13 is prime, 31 is also prime.To solve this, we will follow these steps −n := n as stringdo a loop for size of n times, doif n is not a prime number, thenreturn Falsen := n[from index 1 to end] concatenate first character of nreturn TrueLet us see the following implementation to get better understanding −Exampleclass Solution:    def solve(self, n):       def is_prime(n):          if n

Suppose we have rotation group for a string that holds all of its unique rotations. If the input is like, "567" then this can be rotated to "675" and "756" and they are all in the same rotation group. Now if we have a list of strings words, we have to group each word by their rotation group, and find the total number of groups.So, if the input is like words = ["xyz", "ab", "ba", "c", "yzx"], then the output will be 3, as There are three rotation groups − ["xyz", "yzx"], ["ab", "ba"], ["c"].To solve this, we will follow ...

Suppose we have a string s. The s is a run-length encoded string, we have to find the decoded version of it. As we know, run-length encoding is a fast and simple method of encoding strings. The idea is as follows − The repeated successive elements (characters) as a single count and character. For example, if the string is like "BBBBAAADDCBB" would be encoded as "4B3A2D1C2B".So, if the input is like s = "4B3A2D1C2B", then the output will be "BBBBAAADDCBB"To solve this, we will follow these steps −output := blank stringnum:= blank stringfor each character i in s, doif i ...

Suppose we have a string s. We have to encode this by using run-length encoding technique. As we know, run-length encoding is a fast and simple method of encoding strings. The idea is as follows − The repeated successive elements (characters) as a single count and character.So, if the input is like s = "BBBBAAADDCBB", then the output will be "4B3A2D1C2B"To solve this, we will follow these steps −res := blank stringtmp := first character of scount := 1for i in range 1 to size of s, doif s[i] is not same as tmp, thenres := res concatenate count concatenate ...

Suppose we have a binary string s, we can delete any two adjacent letters if they are different. Finally, we have to find the length of the smallest string that we can get if we are able to perform this operation as many times as we want.So, if the input is like s = "1100011", then the output will be 1, as After deleting "10" we get "10011", then again delete "10", it will be "011", then delete "01", it will have left 1.To solve this, we will follow these steps −stack := a new listfor each c in s, ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums, we have to find the length of the shortest sublist in num, if the sublist is sorted, then the entire array nums will be sorted in ascending order.So, if the input is like nums = [1, 2, 5, 4, 9, 10], then the output will be 2, as Sorting the sublist [4, 3] would get us [0, 1, 3, 4, 8, 9]To solve this, we will follow these steps −f:= -1, l:= -1lst:= sort the list numsfor i in range 0 to size of nums, doif nums[i] is not same as ...

Suppose we have a string s and a number k. Now each character in the string is either dot ('.') or 'x', where dot indicates an empty space and 'x' indicates a person. We have to check whether it's possible to choose a position to stand on such that the distance between us and the closest person to us is at least k. (Here the distance between each neighbouring indices is 1).So, if the input is like s = "x...x..", k = 2, then the output will be True, as we can stand at s[2] or s[6].To solve this, we ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums, we have to find the number of elements that are present in the correct indices, when the list was to be sorted.So, if the input is like [2, 8, 4, 5, 11], then the output will be 2, as the elements 2 and 11 are in their correct positions. The sorted sequence will be [2, 4, 5, 8, 11]To solve this, we will follow these steps −s := sort the list numscount := 0for i in range 0 to size of nums, doif s[i] is same as nums[i], thencount := count ...
