Given some k (1 < k <= n), you are required to find and return the element of the set that has more than n/k occurrences. Return None otherwise. Required (best known) time complexity: O(n log k) (21) Given n numbers, you can perform the following operation any number of times : Choose any subset of the numbers, none of which are 0.

Output : Output T lines, one corresponding to each test case. For a test case, output "YES" if there is a sequence of operations as described,and "NO" otherwise. Sample Input : 3 21 10 10

Second element is 3, so can make at most 3 jumps: eg to 5 or 8 or 9. If an element is 0, then cannot make any jumps (23) Place N number from 1 to N, in 2N positions in such a way so that there are exactly a number of cells between two placed locations of number a. Write a program to display numbers placed in this way. Example:One of the possible placement for 7 numbers in 14 positions is : 57236253471614 There are exactly five other numbers between two occurrences of 5, exactly seven other numbers between two occurrences of number 7 and the same is true for all other number placements.

Which data Structure You Will Use fro that then Write a Program to Implement the Syntax highlighter Constraints: As You Type in the Editor Your Input String color should change according to slandered syntax highlighter it should happens parallel e.g as you type color automatically should change means you don't have option to say that first i will search a pattern that i have to highlight using such as KMP any String Matching Algorithm & then i will highlight that part ..no interviewer don't allow it... Again only thing to say that he is strict that it should happens simultaneously for example turbo C, Eclipse etc. (28) On Unix computers, data is stored in directories. There is one root directory, and this might have several directories contained inside of it, each with different names. These directories might have even more directories contained inside of them, and so on. A directory is uniquely identified by its name and its parent directory(the directory it is directly contained in). This is usually encoded in a path, which consists of several parts each preceded by a forward slash('/'). The final part is the name of the directory, and everything else gives the path of its parent directory. For example, consider the path:/home/facebook/people This refers to the directory with name "people" in the directory described by "/home facebook", which in turn refers to the directory with name "facebook" in the directory described by the path "/home". In this path, there is only one part, which means it refers to the directory with the name "home" in the root directory. To create a directory, you can use the mkdir command. You specify a path, and then mkdir will create the directory described by that path, but only if the parent directory already exists. For example, if you wanted to create the "/home/facebook/people" and "/home/facebook/tech" directories from scratch, you would need four commands: mkdir /home mkdir /home/facebook mkdir /home/facebook/people mkdir /home/facebook/tech Given the full set of directories already existing on your computer, and a set of new directories you want to create if they do not already exist, how many mkdir commands do you need to use? Input The first line of the input gives the number of test cases, T.T test cases follow. Each case begins with a line containing two integers N and M, separated by a space. The next N lines each give the path of one directory that already exists on your computer.This list will include every directory already on your computer other than the root directory.(The root directory is on every computer, so there is no need to list it explicitly.) The next M lines each give the path of one directory that you want to create. Each of the paths in the input is formatted as in the problem statement above. Specifically, a path consists of one or more lower-case alpha-numeric strings(i.e., strings containing only the symbols 'a'-'z' and '0'-'9'), each preceded by a single forward slash. These alpha-numeric strings are never empty. Output For each test case, output one line containing "Case #x: y", where x is the case number(starting from 1) and y is the number of mkdir you need. Note: If a directory is listed as being on your computer, then its parent directory will also be listed,

unless the parent is the root directory. INPUT 2 12 /chicken /chicken/egg /chicken 13 /a /a/b /a/c /b/b OUTPUT Case #1: 1 Case #2: 4 (29) A magic wish-granting rectangular belt always shrinks to 1/2 its length and 1/3 its width whenever its owner makes a wish.

Design an algorithm that finds a pair of close numbers in A in O(n) time. (35) you are given an array A of k values which contain int values in sorted (asec) order. Find top k values (asec) which can either be the number from the array A, or sum of any two numbers from A or sum of any three numbers from A. So, if A's values are represented as : a1,a2,...,ak , the possible numbers can be: a(i), a(i)+a(j), a(i)+a(j)+a(l) for any i,j,l < k

Ex: A[7] = {3,4,5,15,19,20,25} output B[7] = {3,4,5,(3+4),(3+5),(4+5),(3+4+5)} (36) Given an n-ary tree of resources arranged hierarchically. A process needs to lock a resource node in order to use it. But a node cannot be locked if any of its descendant or ancestor is locked. You are supposed to: -write the structure of node -write codes for * Islock()- returns true if a given node is locked and false if it is not * Lock()- locks the given node if possible and updates lock information * Unlock()- unlocks the node and updates information. -Codes should be : * Islock O(1) * Lock()- O(log n) * unLock()- O(log n) (37) one system API available setOStimer(time n, function ptr, function arg) it sets time for n sec. after expiration of timer it calls function. if another timer set with setOStimer, it will erase previously sets timer. Ex. at t = 0, setOStimer(5,fn,arg) at t = 4, setOStimer(10,fn1,arg1) now first timer removed. Question is using this API, write own API setTimer(), it will use given API. So that it will not erase previously set timer. (38) Write a method that takes an int array of size m, and returns (True/False) if the array consists of the numbers n...n+m-1, all numbers in that range and only numbers in that range. The array is not guaranteed to be sorted. (For instance, {2,3,4} would return true. {1,3,1} would return false, {1,2,4} would return false. The problem I had with this one is that my interviewer kept asking me to optimize (faster O(n), less memory, etc), to the point where he claimed you could do it in one pass of the array using a constant amount of memory. Never figured that one out. (39) Given a string. For example input string is sandeep.

(42) You're an electrician working at a mountain. There are N wires running from one side of the mountain to the other. The problem is that the wires are not labeled, so you just see N wire ends on each side of the mountain. Your job is to match these ends (say, by labeling the two ends of each wire in the same way). In order to figure out the matching, you can twist together wire ends, thus electrically connecting the wires. You can twist as many wire ends as you want, into as many clusters as you want, at the side of the mountain where you happen to be at the time. You can also untwist the wire ends at the side of the mountain where you're at. You are equipped with an Ohm

meter, which lets you test the connectivity of any pair of wires. (Actually, it's an abstract Ohm meter, in that it only tells you whether or not two things are connected, not the exact resistance.) You are not charged [no pun intended] for twisting, untwisting, and using the Ohm meter. You are only charged for each helicopter ride you make from one side of the mountain to the other. What is the best way to match the wires? (Oh, N>2, for there is no solution when N=2.) (43) We are given a checkerboard which has 4 rows and n columns, and has an integer written in each square. We are also given a set of 2n pebbles, and we want to place some or all of these on the checkerboard (each pebble can be placed on exactly one square) so as to maximize the sum of the integers in the squares that are covered by pebbles. There is one constraint: for a placement of pebbles to be legal, no two of them can be on horizontally or vertically adjacent squares (diagonal adjacency is fine). (a) Determine the number of legal patterns that can occur in any column (in isolation, ignoring the pebbles in adjacent columns) anddescribe these patterns (44) You are given N line segments numbered 1 to N. The lengths of these segments are given in the int[] segments. Compose a convex K-sided polygon, where each side is one of the given segments. Each segment can only be used once in the polygon. Return the number of different polygons you can compose. Two polygons are considered different if there exists a segment i such that one of the polygons contains segment i but the other polygon does not. (45) An array A[1 n] contains all the integers from 0 to n except for one number which is missing . In this problem, we cannot access an entire integer in A with a single operation . The elements of A are represented in binary, and the only operation we can use to access them is fetch the jth bit of A[i], which takes constant time Write code to find the missing integer . Can you do it in O(n) time? (46) Given an integer, print the next smallest and next largest number that have the same number of 1 bits in their binary representation . (47) There is a row of houses in which each house contains some amount of money. Write an algorithm that loots the maximum amount of money from these houses. The only restriction is that you cannot loot two houses that are directly next to each other. (48) Divide a list of numbers into groups of consecutive numbers but their original order should be preserved. Example: <8,2,4,7,1,0,3,6> Two groups: <2,4,1,0,3><8,7,6> Better than O(n^2) is expected. (49) You are given two height balanced binary search trees T and T, storing m and n elements respectively. Every element of tree T is smaller than every element of tree T. Every node u also stores height of the subtree rooted at it. Using this extra information how can you merge the two trees in time O(log m + log n) (preserving both the height balance and the order)?

What is the most efficient way of finding nearest point for each point? How can we find all the points at a distance k from a given point efficiently? (52) Suppose you want to travel from city A to city B by car, following a fixed route. Your car can travel m miles on a full tank of gas, and you have a map of the n gas stations on the route between A and B that gives the number of miles between each station. Design an algorithm to find a way to get from A to B without running out of gas that minimizes the total number of refueling stops, in O(n) time. (53) given a string find the number of distinct substrings of the string. ex: input-aaaa output-4(a, aa, aaa, aaaa) input-abcd output-10(a, b, c, d, ab, bc, cd, abc, bcd, abcd) (54) Given an unsorted array A of n distinct numbers and an integer k where 1 <= k <= n, design an algorithm that finds the k numbers in A that are closest in value to the median of A in O(n) time (55) In this variation of the Maximum-Sum Subarray Problem, you are given a one-dimensional array A[1 : n] of positive or negative numbers, and you are asked to find a subarray A[i : j] such that the sum of its elements is (1) strictly greater than zero, and (2) minimum. In other words, you want to find a subarray of smallest positive sum. Give an O(nlog^2n) Divide and Conquer algorithm and a O(nlogn) Dynamic Programming Algorithm. (56) You are given a wooden log of length n. It has n+1 grooves marked on it from 0 to n. You are given an array containing numbers within the range of 1 to n-1. These elements of the array represents the points on the log at which u need to cut the wooden log. Now the cost of cutting a log is proportional to the length of the original log being cut. Eg: n=15 and A={1,5,9} Now when u make a cut at 1, the cost is n (the size of original log) When u cut at 9, the cost will be n-1 as the length of the new original log is 1 to n i.e n-1 When u cut at 5, since 5 lies between 1 and 9 and the length of this log is 9-1=8, so the cost will be 8. The question is: given the value of 'n' and the Array A containing the points at which u need to make a cut, find the order in which the cuts must be made in order to minimize the total cost of cutting the wooden log.

(87) An ideal string is a string where the 1-based index of the first occurrence of each letter is equal to the number of occurrences of

that letter in the string. For example, the BAOOOA is an ideal string (quotes for clarity only). The letter B appears 1 time, and its index is 1. The letter A occurs 2 times and its first index is 2. The letter O occurs 3 times and its first index is 3. Given an int length, return the lexicographical smallest ideal string of that length containing only uppercase letters (A-'Z). If there are no such ideal strings of that length, return an empty String instead. (88) A sequence of numbers is called a zig-zag sequence if the differences between successive numbers strictly alternate between positive and negative. The first difference (if one exists) may be either positive or negative. A sequence with fewer than two elements is trivially a zig-zag sequence. For example, 1,7,4,9,2,5 is a zig-zag sequence because the differences (6,-3,5,7,3) are alternately positive and negative. In contrast, 1,4,7,2,5 and 1,7,4,5,5 are not zig-zag sequences, the first because its first two differences are positive and the second because its last difference is zero. Given a sequence of integers, sequence, return the length of the longest subsequence of sequence that is a zig-zag sequence. A subsequence is obtained by deleting some number of elements (possibly zero) from the original sequence, leaving the remaining elements in their original order.

Path can go from left subtree tree , include root and go to right tree as well . we need to find these paths also . 5 / \ 1 10 /\ /\ 0 2 6 11 so to find 16 we say it is 1 to 5 to 10 &10 to 6 try make use of parent pointer and find a solution :-o (97) There is a firm that provides Mobile Operator 3 functions. char[] get_number: to get a new number(10 digit) bool is_allocated(char[]) : if the number is already allocated. bool allocate(char[]) : allocate the number. What data structure to use? We can use hash table to store the number that is already allocated. char[] get_number() { Generate the random 10 digit number. } bool is_allocated(char[] num) { Get the lock Hash the given number. Index the hash to the hash table. Look for collision. if collide return true else return false. release the lock } bool allocate(char[] num) { Get the lock hash the given number Index the hash to the hash table set the entry in the hash table for the given index.

Write a program to find and maintain the median value as new values are generated (100) A non-negative integer is called heavy if the average value of its digits in decimal representation exceeds 7. Assume that 0 has average value of its digits equal to 0. For example the number 8698 is heavy, because the average value of its digits equal to (8+6+9+8)/4 = 7.75. The number 53141 has the average value of its digits equal to (5+3+1+4+1)/5 = 2.6, so it is not heavy. Write a function int heavy_decimal_count(int a,int b); that given two non-negative integers A and B returns the number of heavy integers in the interval [A..B] (both ends included). Assume that 0 <=A <= B <= 200,000,000 Range Given ..It Really Matters Your Program should not give time out & memory error For example, given A=8,675 and B=8,689 the function should return 5, because there are 5 heavy integers in range [8,675..8,689]: 8675 avg=6.5 8676 avg=6.75 8677 avg=7 8678 avg=7.25 HEAVY 8679 avg=7.5 HEAVY 8680 avg=5.5 8681 avg=5.75 8682 avg=6 8683 avg=6.25 8684 avg=6.5 8685 avg=6.75 8686 avg=7 8687 avg=7.25 HEAVY 8688 avg=7.5 HEAVY 8689 avg=7.75 HEAVY you have to keep in mind for given range e.g given B<=2 Billion Its Man Thing so what happen when A=1 Billion & B=2 Billion (101) For a set S of n real numbers, a pair of elements x, y belong to S, where x < y, are said to be close if y x <= ( max(S) min(S) ) / (n-1) Suppose you are given an unsorted array A[1 : n] of distinct real numbers.

There are K painters available and you are also given how much time a painter takes to paint 1 unit of board. You have to get this job done as soon as possible under the constraints that any painter will only paint continuous sections of board, say board {2, 3, 4} or only board {1} or nothing but not board {2, 4, 5}. (103)

Given n elements, sort the elements. Here, only one operation is permitted decreaseValue.. Note that you cannot swap the values.. output should be a sorted list.. if input is 4 5 2 1 3 output is 3 3 3.. There can be many answers.. Give the optimum solution with minimum cost. where as cost is the sum of decreased amounts (104) There are k systems given and each system has n numbers in the sorted order.

(107) Sort all elements in odd indices of an array in ascending order and even indices in descending order. Finally, rearrange so that all even indexed elements come first. eg: input 7 2 6 4 8 3 1 even indexed : 7 6 8 1 => sort 8 7 6 1 odd indexed: 2 4 3 => sort 2 3 4 output 8 7 6 1 2 3 4 What could be the best algo to solve it?

Hence, total no. of elements = m+n Give an algorithm to place the smallest 'm' elements(out of the m+n total available) in A and the largest 'n' elements in B. ( A and B need not be sorted in the end) eg: A : 1 2 3 B: 0 1.5 4 5 9 Output: A can contain any combination of nos 0,1,1.5 and B should contain 2 3 4 5 9 (in any order.) Constraints: No extra space.
