OptumAtlassianAdobe

You have been given an Encrypted String where repetitions of substrings are represented as substring followed by the count of substrings.

Example: String "aabbbcdcdcd" will be encrypted as "a2b3cd3".

You need to find the 'K'th character of Decrypted String. Decrypted String would have 1-based indexing.

Note :

Input string will always be lowercase characters without any spaces.

If the count of a substring is 1 then also it will be followed by Integer '1'.
Example: "aabcdee" will be Encrypted as "a2bcd1e2"
This means it's guaranteed that each substring is followed by some Integer.

Also, the frequency of encrypted substring can be of more than one digit. For example, in "ab12c3", ab is repeated 12 times. No leading 0 is present in the frequency of substring.

The frequency of a repeated substring can also be in parts.
Example: "aaaabbbb" can also have "a2a2b3b1" as Encrypted String.

OLX GroupSalesforceUrban Company (UrbanClap)

You are given a square matrix of non-negative integers of size 'N x N'. Your task is to rotate that array by 90 degrees in an anti-clockwise direction without using any extra space.

For example:

For given 2D array :

    [    [ 1,  2,  3 ],
         [ 4,  5,  6 ],
         [ 7,  8,  9 ]  ]

After 90 degree rotation in anti clockwise direction, it will become:

    [   [ 3,  6,  9 ],
        [ 2,  5,  8 ],
        [ 1,  4,  7 ]   ]
Problem approach

The rotation of a matrix involves two steps:

First, find the transpose of the given matrix.
Swap the elements of the first column with the last column (if the matrix is of 3*3). The second column remains the same.

2. Puzzle

There are 100 doors, all closed. 

In a nearby cage are 100 monkeys.

The first monkey is let out and runs along the doors opening every one. 

The second monkey is then let out and runs along the doors closing the 2nd, 4th, 6th,… - all the even-numbered doors. 

The third monkey is let out. He attends only to the 3rd, 6th, 9th,… doors (every third door, in other words), closing any that is open and opening any that is closed, and so on. 

After all 100 monkeys have done their work in this way, what state are the doors in after the last pass?

Problem approach

Tip 1 : Listen to the problem carefully

Tip 2 : First create the solution in your mind and then give your answer.
