1. Target Sum

Moderate
0/80
Asked in companies
ZSOLX GroupAmazon

You are given an array ‘ARR’ of ‘N’ integers and a target number, ‘TARGET’. Your task is to build an expression out of an array by adding one of the symbols '+' and '-' before each integer in an array, and then by concatenating all the integers, you want to achieve a target. You have to return the number of ways the target can be achieved.

For Example :
You are given the array ‘ARR’ = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1], ‘TARGET’ = 3. The number of ways this target can be achieved is:
1. -1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
2. +1 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
3. +1 + 1 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
4. +1 + 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 = 3
5. +1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 3
These are the 5 ways to make. Hence the answer is 5.
Problem approach

This method uses the Memoization Technique (an extension of the recursive approach).
This method is basically an extension to the recursive approach so that we can overcome the problem of calculating redundant cases and thus increase complexity. 
We can solve this problem by simply creating a 2-D array that can store a particular state (n, w) if we get it the first time. 
Now if we come across the same state (n, w) again instead of calculating it in exponential complexity we can directly return its result stored in the table in constant time. 
This method gives an edge over the recursive approach in this aspect.

Asked in companies
SprinklrHSBCHCL Technologies

You are given an array consisting of 'N' positive integers where each integer is either 0 or 1 or 2. Your task is to sort the given array in non-decreasing order.

Note :
1. The array consists of only 3 distinct integers 0, 1, 2.
2. The array is non-empty.
Problem approach

Get the element with its count in a Map
By using the Comparator Interface, compare the frequency of an elements in a given list.
Use this comparator to sort the list by implementing Collections.sort() method.
Print the sorted list.

You are given a string 'STR'. The string contains [a-z] [A-Z] [0-9] [special characters]. You have to find the reverse of the string.

For example:

 If the given string is: STR = "abcde". You have to print the string "edcba".

Asked in companies
Hewlett Packard EnterpriseSamsungIntuit

You are given two Singly Linked Lists of integers, which may have an intersection point.

Your task is to return the first intersection node. If there is no intersection, return NULL.


Example:-
The Linked Lists, where a1, a2, c1, c2, c3 is the first linked list and b1, b2, b3, c1, c2, c3 is the second linked list, merging at node c1.
