You are given an infinite supply of coins of each of denominations D = {D0, D1, D2, D3, ...... Dn-1}. You need to figure out the total number of ways W, in which you can make a change for value V using coins of denominations from D. Print 0, if a change isn't possible.

1. Max Product Subset

AdobeSalesforceArcesium

You are given an array/list ‘arr’ of size ‘n’. Your task is to find the maximum product possible by taking any subset of the array/list ‘arr’.

Since the product can be large, return it modulo 10^9+7

For example:
Let arr=[-1,-1,-2,4,3] 

We can take the subset {-1,-2,4,3} which will have the product as 24. We can verify that this is the largest product possible. Hence we return 24.
Problem approach

I applied sorting, keeping in mind numbers can be positive and negative

You have been given an N*M matrix filled with integer numbers, find the maximum sum that can be obtained from a path starting from any cell in the first row to any cell in the last row.

From a cell in a row, you can move to another cell directly below that row, or diagonally below left or right. So from a particular cell (row, col), we can move in three directions i.e.

Down: (row+1,col)
Down left diagonal: (row+1,col-1)
Down right diagonal: (row+1, col+1)
