Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums where nums[i] shows the predator of the ith animal and if there is no predator, it will hold −1. We have to find the smallest number of groups of animals such that no animal is in the same group with its direct or indirect predator.So, if the input is like nums = [1, 2, −1, 4, 5, −1], then the output will be 3, as we can have the groups like: [0, 3], [1, 4], [2, 5].To solve this, we will follow these steps −if A is empty, thenreturn 0adj := ...

Suppose we have a 2D matrix where each row is sorted in ascending order. We have to find the smallest number that exists in every row. If there's no such result, then return −1.So, if the input is like23551010135then the output will be 5To solve this, we will follow these steps −if matrix is empty, thenreturn −1first := a new set from first row of matrixfor each row in matrix, dofirst := Intersect first a set of elements of rowif first is empty, thenreturn −1return minimum of firstLet us see the following implementation to get better understanding −Exampleclass Solution:   ...

Suppose we have a number n, we have to find two or more numbers such that their sum is equal to n, and the product of these numbers is maximized, we have to find the product.So, if the input is like n = 12, then the output will be 81, as 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 and 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 81.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function dp() . This will take nif n is same as 0, thenreturn 1ans := 0for i in range 1 to ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums, we have to check whether there is a sublist such that its sum is strictly greater than the total sum of the list.So, if the input is like nums = [1, −2, 3, 4], then the output will be True, as the sum of the list is 6 and the sum of the sublist [3, 5] is 8 which is strictly larger.To solve this, we will follow these steps −total := sum of elements numss := 0for each i in nums, dos := s + iif s < 0, thenreturn Trues ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums, we select a subsequence of strictly increasing values, where the differences of each two numbers is the same as the differences of their two indices. So we have to find the maximum sum of such a subsequence.So, if the input is like nums = [6, 7, 9, 9, 8, 5], then the output will be 22, as we select the subsequence [6, 7, 9] whose indices are [0, 1, 3]. The differences between each consecutive numbers is [1, 2] which is same as the differences of their indices.To solve this, we ...

Suppose we have two binary trees. We have to check whether second tree is a subtree of first one or not.So, if the input is likethen the output will be True.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a function solve() . This will take root, targetif root is null and target is also null, thenreturn Trueif root is null or target is null, thenreturn Falseif value of root is same as value of target, thenreturn solve(left of root, left of target) and solve(right of root, right of target)otherwise, return solve(left of root, target) or solve(right of root, target)Let ...

Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums and another value k, we have to find three unique entries in nums (a, b, c) such that |a + b + c − k| is minimized and return the absolute difference.So, if the input is like nums = [2, 5, 25, 6] k = 14, then the output will be 1 as if we take [2, 5, 6] will get us closest to 14 and the absolute difference is |13 − 14| = 1.To solve this, we will follow these steps −sort the list numsans := 1^9for i in range ...
