Samsung R&D InstituteSalesforceSamsung

You have been given a grid containing some oranges. Each cell of this grid has one of the three integers values:

  • Value 0 - representing an empty cell.
  • Value 1 - representing a fresh orange.
  • Value 2 - representing a rotten orange.
  • Every second, any fresh orange that is adjacent(4-directionally) to a rotten orange becomes rotten.

    Your task is to find out the minimum time after which no cell has a fresh orange. If it's impossible to rot all the fresh oranges then print -1.

    Note:
    1. The grid has 0-based indexing.
    2. A rotten orange can affect the adjacent oranges 4 directionally i.e. Up, Down, Left, Right.

    AmazonMicrosoftAmdocs

    You are given an array(ARR) of length 'N', consisting of non-negative integers. Using only these given numbers, rearrange the numbers in such a way that the resultant number thus formed is the largest possible. You cannot change the order of digits of a number.

    For Example:
    Given array numbers 12, 5, 34, the largest number you can form with them is 53412. There are other possible arrangements like 51234 or 34125, but they are both less than 53412.
    

    arr

    Note:
    As the final number formed after concatenation can be very large, print it as a string.
