Listening to Data Structure Designing, A lot of people might want to run away looking at the title itself. Those who know me know that I am not leaving until I explain the concept entirely. Embark with me on a journey to learn a problem and a few ideas on …
We are provided with an array of integers that is unsorted and we have to find the longest increasing subsequence. The subsequence need not be consecutive The subsequence shall be increasing Let’s understand that better by a few examples. Example Input [9, 2, 5, 3, 7, 10, 8] Output 4 …
In this problem, we have inorder and preorder of the binary tree. We need to construct a binary tree from the given Inorder and Preorder traversals. Example Input: Inorder= [D, B, E, A, F, C] Preorder= [A, B, D, E, C, F] Output: Pre-order traversal of the tree formed by …
We are given an array A[] on size n. We have to find the smallest element that is repeated exactly k times in the array. Example Input A[]= {1, 2 ,2 ,5 ,5 ,2 ,5} K=3 Output Smallest element with frequency K is: 2 Approach 1: Brute force Main idea …
You are given an integer array A, print k-th distinct element in an array. The given array may contain duplicates and the output should print k-th distinct element among all unique elements in an array. If k is more than a number of distinct elements, then report it. Example Input: …
In Group words with same set of characters problem, we have given a list of words with lower cases. Implement a function to find all Words that have the same unique character set. Example Input Words[]={ “may”, “student”, “students”, “dog”,”studentssess”, “god”, “cat”, “act”,”tab”, “bat”, “flow”, “wolf”, “lambs”,”amy”, “yam”, “balms”, “looped”, …
In Insert Delete GetRandom problem we need to design a data structure that supports all following operations in average O(1) time. insert(val): Inserts an item val to the set if not already present. remove(val): Removes an item val from the set if present. getRandom: Returns a random element from the current set …
In merge overlapping intervals problem we have given a collection of intervals, merge and return all overlapping intervals. Example Input : [[2, 3], [3, 4], [5, 7]] Output: [[2, 4], [5, 7]] Explanation: We can merge [2, 3] and [3, 4] together to form [2, 4] Approach for finding Merge …
In Decode Ways problem we have given a non-empty string containing only digits, determine the total number of ways to decode it using the following mapping: ‘A’ -> 1 ‘B’ -> 2 … ‘Z’ -> 26 Example S = “123” Number of ways to decode this string is 3 If we …
In the maximum product subarray problem, we have given an array of integers, find the contiguous sub-array with atleast one element which has the largest product. Example Arr=[ 0, -1, 0 ,1 ,2, -3] Maximum product = 2 Arr=[-1, -1, -1] Maximum product = -1 Arr=[0, -1, 0, -2, 0] …
