Program to find number of minimum steps to reach last index in Python
Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums and we are placed currently at nums[0]. On each step, we can either jump from the current index i to i + 1 or i - 1 or j where nums[i] == nums[j]. We have to find the minimum number of steps required to reach the final index.So, if the input is like nums = [4, 8, 8, 5, 4, 6, 5], then the output will be 3, as we can jump from index 0 to index 4 as their values are both 4. And then we jump back to index ...
Read MoreProgram to find intervals that do not intersect the cut interval in Python
Suppose we have a sorted and disjoint intervals list and another list cut, that represents an interval. We have to delete all parts of intervals that are intersecting with cut interval, and return the new list.So, if the input is like intervals = [[2, 11], [13, 31], [41, 61]] cut = [8, 46], then the output will be [[2, 8], [46, 61]]To solve this, we will follow these steps −cut_start, cut_end := cutans := a new listfor each start, end in intervals, doif maximum of cut_start and start < minimum of end and cut_end, thenif start < cut_start, theninsert interval ...
Read MoreProgram to find total unique duration from a list of intervals in Python
Suppose we have a list of intervals where each list represents an interval [start, end] (inclusive). We have to find the total unique duration it covers.So, if the input is like intervals = [[2, 11], [13, 31], [41, 61]], then the output will be 50, as the total unique covered distance is (11 - 2 + 1) = 10 then (31 - 13 + 1) = 19 and (61 - 41 + 1) = 21, so total is 50.To solve this, we will follow these steps −if intervals list is empty, thenreturn 0sort the list intervals[start, end] := intervals[0]ans := ...
Read MoreProgram to find overlapping intervals and return them in ascending order in Python
Suppose we have a list of closed intervals and another list of intervals. Individually, each list is non-overlapping and they are sorted in non-decreasing order. We have to find the overlap of the two intervals sorted in non-decreasing order.So, if the input is like inv1 = [[50, 100],[190, 270],[310, 330]] inv2 = [[40, 120],[180, 190]], then the output will be [[50, 100], [190, 190]]To solve this, we will follow these steps −ans := a new listi := 0, j := 0while i < size of A and j < size of B, doif start
Read MoreProgram to check number of global and local inversions are same or not in Python
Suppose we have a list of distinct numbers called nums. Here a global inversion is when there's indices i < j such that nums[i] > nums[j]. And local inversion is when there is an index i and i + 1 such that nums[i] > nums[i + 1]. We have to check whether the number of global inversions is equal to the number of local inversions or not.So, if the input is like nums = [3, 2, 4], then the output will be True, as the indices 0 and 1 are both a global and local inversion.To solve this, we will ...
Read MoreProgram to find number of elements in A are strictly less than at least k elements in B in Python
Suppose we have two lists of numbers A and B, and another value k, we have to find the number of elements in A that are strictly less than at least k elements in B.So, if the input is like A = [6, -2, 100, 11] B = [33, 6, 30, 8, 14] k = 3, then the output will be 3, as -2, 6, and 11 are strictly less than 3 elements in B.To solve this, we will follow these steps −if k is same as 0, thenreturn size of Asort B in reverse orderct := 0for each i ...
Read MoreProgram to find a sub-list of size at least 2 whose sum is multiple of k in Python
Suppose we have a list of non-negative numbers called nums and another positive value k. We have to find check whether there is any sublist of length at least 2 whose sum is multiple of k or not.So, if the input is like nums = [12, 6, 3, 4] k = 5, then the output will be True, as the sublist is [12, 3] sums to 15 which is divisible by 5.To solve this, we will follow these steps −sum := 0m := a new mapm[0] := -1for i in range 0 to size of nums, dosum := sum + ...
Read MoreProgram to find k sublists with largest sums and return sums in ascending order in Python
Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums, and another value k, we have to find k sublists with the largest sums and return the sums in non-decreasing order.So, if the input is like nums = [2, 4, 5, -100, 12, -30, 6, -2, 6] k = 3, then the output will be [10, 11, 12], as we have these 3 sublists with the largest sums − [6, -2, 6], [2, 4, 5], [12].To solve this, we will follow these steps −ps := a list of 1 + size of nums and fill with 0for each index i and ...
Read MoreProgram to find minimum steps to reach target position by a chess knight in Python
Suppose we have two values r and c. If a chess knight is placed at the coordinate (0, 0) at the beginning in an infinitely large chess board, we have to find minimum number of moves it would take to reach the location (r, c). The knight will follow same moving style as chess. It moves two squares away horizontally and one square vertically, or two squares vertically and one square horizontally.So, if the input is like r = 6, c = 1, then the output will be 3, the red is initial position, green is final and yellows are ...
Read MoreProgram to find the percentage of places where knight can move and not left the board in Python
Suppose we have four values n, x, y, and k. Here n indicates an n x n chessboard and x, y coordinate represents a knight is placed at (x, y). The knight has to take exactly k steps, where at each step it can move any of the 8 directions uniformly at random. We have to find the percentage chance (nearest integer) that the knight remains in the chessboard after taking k moves. We have to follow a condition that it cannot enter the board again once it leaves it.So, if the input is like n = 8, (x = ...
