GIven an array of numbers, find out if array contains three consecutive odd numbers Example: [2, 4, 1, 3, 4, 1, 3, 6] Three consecutive odds: false [2, 4, 1, 3, 4, 1, 3, 6] Three consecutive odds: true [2, 4, 1, 3, 4, 1, 3, 6] Three consecutive odds: true Solution: Initialize count = … Read more Three Consecutive Odd Numbers
Given an array of numbers, you need to find out whether an array can be converted to a non-decreasing array where you are allowed to modify the maximum one element in the array. Non-decreasing array: Array is called non-decreasing array when you traverse array from left to right, each element on the left is less … Read more Non-decreasing Array with one allowed change
Given an array of numbers, you need to duplicate the zero’s in the array. Do not extend the size of array, just discard the remaining elements (had array gets extended, those elements) after the array size. Example: Input: [1, 0, 2, 3, 0, 4, 5, 0] Output: [1, 0, 0, 2, 3, 0, 0, 4] … Read more Duplicate zero’s without expanding the array.
Given a decimal number, convert that number to its binary representation. Example: Number: 5, binary representation: 101 Number: 8, binary representation: 1000 Number: 105, binary representation: 1101001 Solution: Initialize a result string and while the given number is greater than 0, keep dividing it by 2 and append the remainder of division to the result … Read more Decimal to Binary
Given a binary array (contains only 0’s and 1’s), find out the number of maximum consecutive ones. Example: Input: [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1] Max consecutive ones: 4 Input: [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1], Max consecutive ones: 2 Input: [0, 0, 0, 0] Max consecutive ones: 0 Solution: … Read more Maximum Consecutive Ones
Given an array of numbers, write a program to duplicate the even numbers and return the new array. Example: Input: [2, 4, 1, 5, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 4] Output: [2, 2, 4, 4, 1, 5, 2, 2, 3, 8, 8, 9, 10, 10, 4, 4] Input: [2, 4, 6, 8] Output: [2, 2, … Read more Duplicate even elements in an array
Write a program to add the digits of the given number until the number becomes a single digit number. Example: Input: 256, Output: 4 256 -> 13 -> 4 Input: 15, Output: 6 15 -> 6 Input: 82, Output: 1 82 -> 10 -> 1 Input: 242239, Output: 4 242239 -> 22 -> 4 Approach: … Read more Add digits until number becomes a single digit
Given an array of integers, write a program to find the number of pairs for which the XOR is an odd number. Example: Input[] = {3, 2, 1} Output: 2 Note: 1 XOR 2 = 3 and 2 XOR 3 = 1 Input[] = {3, 6, 9, 4} Output: 4 Naive Approach: Use nested loops … Read more Find the number of pairs with odd XOR
