Rahul is a programming enthusiast. He is currently learning about arrays/lists. One day his teacher asked him to solve a very difficult problem. The problem was to find the length of the smallest subarray(subarray is a contiguous part of an array/list) in a given array/list ‘ARR’ of size ‘N’ with its sum greater than a given value. If there is no such subarray return 0.

Example: Given an ‘ARR’: [1, 2, 21, 7, 6, 12] and a number ‘X’: 23. The length of the smallest subarray is 2 as the subarray is [21, 7].

Note: Here are multiple subarrays whose sum is greater than ‘X’ such as [1, 2, 21] or [7, 6, 12] but we have to choose the minimum length subarray.

3. Raksha Bandhan

Ninja is celebrating Raksha Bandhan with his ‘N’ sisters. Each of his sisters plans to tie him one Rakhi, having some integer value. The integer value for all ‘N’ Rakhis is provided in an array ‘ARR’.

Ninja wants the total sum of values of all tied Rakhis to be strictly positive.

Your task is to tell him the maximum Rakhis he can have on his hand.

Example :
N = 3
ARR = [ 1, -1, 0 ]

Ninja can have Rakhi with values 1 and 0 tied to his hand so that total sum is 1.
So, we output 2 as the maximum Rakhis.

You have been given a sorted array/list 'arr' consisting of ‘n’ elements. You are also given an integer ‘k’.


Now the array is rotated at some pivot point unknown to you.


For example, if 'arr' = [ 1, 3, 5, 7, 8], then after rotating 'arr' at index 3, the array will be 'arr' = [7, 8, 1, 3, 5].


Now, your task is to find the index at which ‘k’ is present in 'arr'.


Note :
1. If ‘k’ is not present in 'arr', then print -1.
2. There are no duplicate elements present in 'arr'. 
3. 'arr' can be rotated only in the right direction.


Example:
Input: 'arr' = [12, 15, 18, 2, 4] , 'k' = 2

Output: 3

Explanation:
If 'arr' = [12, 15, 18, 2, 4] and 'k' = 2, then the position at which 'k' is present in the array is 3 (0-indexed).

You have been given an array/list 'ARR' consisting of 'N' integers. Your task is to find the majority element in the array. If there is no majority element present, print -1.

Note:
A majority element is an element that occurs more than floor('N' / 2) times in the array.

You have been given an integer array/list(ARR) of size 'N'. It only contains 0s, 1s and 2s. Write a solution to sort this array/list.

Note :
Try to solve the problem in 'Single Scan'. ' Single Scan' refers to iterating over the array/list just once or to put it in other words, you will be visiting each element in the array/list just once.
