You are given an array of N integers and an integer K. For each array element, you are allowed to increase or decrease it by a value k. The task is to minimize the difference between the maximum element and the minimum element after modifications.

Problem approach

Firstly i sort the array and then i just used the for loop for two cases .
One for elements when it is less than K and another cases when the element is greater than the K.


PROGRAM:

arr.sort()
for i in range(n):
if arr[i]>k:
arr[i]=arr[i]-k
else:
arr[i]=arr[i]+k
arr.sort()
return arr[n-1]-arr[0]

Coding problem2

This round was completely resume based and I answered well . Most of the question were from OS , DBMS and oops.

1. OOPS Question

what are 4 main principles of oops?

Problem approach

Tip 1 : I just started with the basics answers and then i explained it with the real life problems of each and every principle of oops.
Tip 2 : Start explaining using the code for these oops questions .

2. Puzzle

There are 3 jars, namely, A, B, C. All of them are mislabeled. Following are the labels of each of the jars:

A: Candies
B: Sweets
C: Candies and Sweets (mixed in a random proportion)
You can put your hand in a jar and pick only one eatable at a time. Tell the minimum number of eatable(s) that has/have to be picked in order to label the jars correctly.

Problem approach

Tip 1 : You have to pick only one eatable from jar C. Suppose the eatable is a candy, then the jar C contains candies only(because all the jars were mislabeled).

Tip 2 : Now, since the jar C has candies only, Jar B can contain sweets or mixture. But, jar B can contain only the mixture because its label reads “sweets” which is wrong.

Tip 3 : Therefore, Jar A contains sweets. Thus the correct labels are:
A: Sweets.
B: Candies and Sweets.
C: Candies.
