Many times we have an array of custom objects and we need to sort these objects. In such cases we need to override the compare function for Arrays.sort method. In this article we discuss how to do that. Say we have a list of employees. Each employee has id, name, and salary. Write a function … Read more Override Arrays Sort Method – Java
Given a number N, write a program to print the first N lines of the Pascal triangle. Pascal Triangle: Note: In Pascal’s triangle, each number is the sum of the two numbers directly above it. (Image reference: Wiki) Approach: Initialize list row and list of lists as all_rows. We will keep updating the list row … Read more Pascal Triangle
Given a list of tax brackets (different tax on different incomes). Write a program to calculate the tax on given income. Tax bracket is a pair consisting of amount and percentage tax on that amount. If amount is null means, it’s a highest bracket and percentage tax is mentioned will be applied to all the … Read more Calculate tax on income as per given tax brackets.
Given a list L of video names and their watch rates, write a function that will return the videos with the top 10 watch rates. Video names may appear more than once.

Problem Statement: Given a playlist that contains the list of intervals with the start time, end time and program id. Write a program to validate whether the playlist is valid or not based on certain conditions. The playlist will be considered invalid if any of the following is true – If any two programs overlap. … Read more Check if the given playlist of programs is valid
Given an array of integers, write a program to find the number of pairs for which the XOR is an even number. Example: Input[] = {3, 2, 1} Output: 1 Note: 1 XOR 3 = 2 Input[] = {3, 6, 9, 4} Output: 2 Naive Approach: Use nested loops and do the xor for each … Read more Find the number of pairs with even XOR
