The 3 Sum Closest problem involves finding the sum of three numbers in an array that is closest to a given target value. We are given an integer array nums of length n and an integer target. Our goal is to find three integers in the array such that their sum is as close as possible to the target using C++ program. In this task, we assume that each input has exactly one solution. If there are multiple sums equally close to the target, we return the maximum one. Let's consider the following example scenario to understand the problem more ... Read More
A regular polygon with n sides is a two-dimensional shape with n equal-length sides and n equal interior angles. It is both equilateral and equiangular (all sides are equal and all angles are equal). In the above diagram, we see that the polygon can be divided into n equal triangles. For one of the triangles, the complete angle at the center can be divided into = 2pi/n So, angle t = pi/n Now, tan(t) = a/2*h So, h = a/(2*tan(t)) Area of ... Read More
A polygon is a closed two-dimensional shape formed by connecting three or more straight lines end-to-end. These lines form sides, and their connection points are called vertices. When the vertices of the polygon are given in a specific order either clockwise or counter-clockwise, we can calculate the area of the polygon using a mathematical formula known as the Shoelace Formula or Surveyor’s Formula. You are given the coordinates of a polygon with n vertices. The vertices are provided in an ordered manner, meaning they are listed either in clockwise or anticlockwise order starting from the first vertex to the last. ... Read More
We are given a string that contains both lowercase and uppercase characters, and we have to sort them in an alternate way, meaning one lowercase letter, then one uppercase letter, then again a lowercase letter, and so on, all in sorted order within their cases. Let's understand this with a few example scenarios. Scenario 1 Input: "aFegrAfStRzsV" Output: "AagfRsSeTvz" Explanation: Sorted uppercase letters: A, F, R, S, T, V Sorted lowercase letters: a, e, f, g, r, s, z We place one uppercase letter, then one lowercase letter, starting with an uppercase. We repeat this until all letters ... Read More
In this problem, we are given a number in the form of an array, and each digit of the number is stored at one index of the array, and the most significant digit comes first. Our task is to add 1 to this number and return the updated number in the same array format. Let's understand it with some example scenarios. Scenario 1 Input: Input_arr[] = {2, 6, 1} Output: 262 Explanation: The array represents 261. Adding 1 gives 261 + 1 = 262. Scenario 2 Input: input_arr[] = {5, 9, 9, 9} Output: 6000 Explanation: The array ... Read More
Given a singly linked list, we need to rearrange its nodes so that even and odd numbers come one after the other alternatively. If the list starts with an even number, the next should be odd, then even, and so on. Similarly, if it begins with an odd number, the next should be even, then odd, and so on. Let's look at some example scenarios to understand the concept better. Scenario 1 Input: 45 -> 21 -> 2 -> 213 -> 3 -> 34 -> 78 -> 12 Output: 45 -> 2 -> 21 -> 34 -> 213 -> 78 ... Read More
We are given a string containing only digits from 0 to 9, and we need to check whether it is an additive number. An additive number is a string that can form an additive sequence, where each number (starting from the third) is the sum of the previous two. For the sequence to be valid, it must have at least three numbers. Let's look at the example scenarios to understand the problem clearly: Scenario 1 Input: "112358" Output: true Explanation: The digits can form the sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 Here, 1 + 1 = 2 1 ...

Here, we are given two numbers, and we have to create a new number by combining their bits in an alternating way. We take the first bit from the second number, the second bit from the first number, the third bit from the second again, and so on. We start from the least significant bit and continue until all bits from both numbers are used. Let's look at a few example scenarios to understand the problem clearly: Scenario 1: Input: First_number = 8, Second_number = 9 Output: 9 Explanation: Binary of 8 = 1000, Binary of 9 = ... Read More
Java does not have built-in tuple support; to use the tuple, we use the third-party library called Javatuples. This library provides classes representing fixed-size tuples of different sizes. The Septet class is one of these classes that represents a tuple with 7 values. Creating a Septet Tuple in Java We can create a Septet in Java in the following ways: Using a Constructor Using fromCollection() method Using with() method Using fromArray() method Using a Constructor The constructor of the Septet class ...

TreeMap is based on the Red-Black tree structure, which is a It is a part of the Java Collections Framework. It is a sorted map and maintains the order of its keys. Its order depends on the natural ordering of the keys or by a Comparator.Since the TreeMap is not a Collection, we cannot use the for-each loop to iterate through it. Instead, we can use the entrySet() method to get a set view of the mappings contained in the map, which we can then iterate over to access the keys and values. Let's explore some scenarios to understand the ... Read More
