Objective: Given a 2d grid map of ‘1’s (land) and ‘0’s (water), count the number of distinct or unique islands. Island: An island is surrounded by water and is formed by connecting adjacent lands horizontally or vertically. Assume all four edges of the grid are all surrounded by water. Given such a grid, write an … Read more Find the number of distinct Islands OR connected components.
Objective: Given a graph represented by the adjacency List, write a Depth-First Search(DFS) algorithm to check whether the graph is bipartite or not. Earlier we have solved the same problem using Adjacency Matrix (Check if Graph is Bipartite – Adjacency Matrix) with Time complexity: O(V2) where V – No of vertices in the graph. In … Read more Check if Graph is Bipartite – Adjacency List using Depth-First Search(DFS)
Earlier we had discussed how to evaluate prefix expression where operands are of single-digit. In this article, we will discuss how to evaluate prefix expression for any number ( not necessarily single digit.) Prefix notation is a notation for writing arithmetic expressions in which the operands appear after their operators. Let’s assume the below Operands … Read more Evaluation of Prefix Expressions (Polish Notation) | Set 2
Prefix notation is a notation for writing arithmetic expressions in which the operands appear after their operators. There are no precedence rules to learn. Let’s assume the below Operands are real numbers in real digits. (Later we will Enhance the solution for any number) Permitted operators: +,-, *, /, ^(exponentiation) Blanks are NOT permitted in … Read more Evaluation of Prefix Expressions (Polish Notation) | Set 1
