Objective: Given a string containing just the characters ( , ) determine if the input string is valid. Example: ()()(()(()))() valid: true )()()( valid: false ()()) valid: false Approach: Earlier we discussed the solution which keeps...
Earlier we have seen the basics of Dijkstra algorithm. In this article we will see its implementation using adjacency list and Min Heap. We strongly recommend reading the following articles Dijkstra algorithm and how...
Objective: Given a graph, check if the graph contains a cycle using disjoint set. Note: Disjoint-set data structure, also called a union–find data structure or merge–find set. Example: Earlier in Detect Cycle in Undirected Graph using DFS we...
Objective: Given a directed graph write an algorithm to find out whether graph contains cycle or not. Example: Approach: Graph contains cycle if there are any back edges. There are two types of back...
Objective – Given a snake and ladder game, write a function that returns the minimum number of jumps to take top or destination position. You can assume the dice you throw results in always...
Objective: Given an array of integer write an algorithm to find the majority element in it (if exist). Majority Element: If an element appears more than n/2 times in array where n is the size...
Objective: Given an array of integer write an algorithm to find the majority element in it (if exist). Majority Element: If an element appears more than n/2 times in array where n is the size...
Objective: The maximum subarray problem is the task of finding the contiguous subarray within a one-dimensional array of numbers which has the largest sum. Example: int [] A = {−2, 1, −3, 4, −1, 2, 1, −5, 4}; Output:...
Objective: Given an array of positive and negative integers, write a algorithm to find the two elements such their sum is closest to zero. Example: int a [] = {1, 4, -5, 3, -2,...
Objective: Given a string, write an algorithm to find the first repeating character in it. Example: String input = “horizon tutorials” Output: ‘o’ String input = “algorithms” Output: No repeating character found. Approach: Naive...
Objective: Given two dimensional matrix, write an algorithm to find out the snake sequence which has the maximum length. There could be many snake sequence in the matrix, you need to return the one...
Objective: Given two dimensional matrix, write an algorithm to count all possible paths from top left corner to bottom-right corner. You are allowed to move only in two directions, move right OR move down....
Objective: Given two dimensional matrix, write an algorithm to count all possible paths from top left corner to bottom-right corner. You are allowed to move only in two directions, move right OR move down....
Objective: Given two dimensional matrix, write an algorithm to print all the diagonals of matrix. Example: Approach: We will solve this problem in two parts. first half of diagonals and second half of diagonals....
Objective: Suppose you’re managing construction of billboards on the Rocky & Bullwinkle Memorial Highway, a heavily traveled stretch of road that runs west-east for M miles. The possible sites for billboards are given by...
