1. Diamond of Stars
Easy
10m average time
90% success
0/40
Asked in companies
You are given an integer ‘N’. Your task is to print the following pattern for the ‘N’ number of rows.
For Example:
Pattern for ‘N’ = 5:
The dots represent spaces.
Note:
‘N’ is always odd.
Problem approach
Step 1 : Understand the requirement and do a rough calculation on how to calculate the structure of pyramid.
Step 2 : Declare a variable where we are going to store the result .
Step 3 : Assign 3 variables i, j, k to introduce in the for loop and do iteration based on each array elements.
Step 4 : Once proper iteration is fine based on the logic we manually tried out, try to get it back on the screen. If you are not getting proper response, console.log the output and check where it is going wrong and try to correct it.
Step 5 : At least if you can display 50% of the expected structure , it would be great. So it is better that we always give it a try
2. Trapping Rain Water

Asked in companies
You have been given a long type array/list 'arr’ of size 'n’.
It represents an elevation map wherein 'arr[i]’ denotes the elevation of the 'ith' bar.
Print the total amount of rainwater that can be trapped in these elevations.
Note :
The width of each bar is the same and is equal to 1.
Example:
Input: ‘n’ = 6, ‘arr’ = [3, 0, 0, 2, 0, 4].
Output: 10
Explanation: Refer to the image for better comprehension:
Note :
You don't need to print anything. It has already been taken care of. Just implement the given function.
Problem approach
Step 1 : Traverse the array from start to end.
Step 2 : For every element, traverse the array from start to that index and find the maximum height (a) and traverse the array from the current index to end, and find the maximum height (b).
Step 3 : The amount of water that will be stored in this column is min(a,b) – array[i], add this value to the total amount of water stored
Step 4 : Print the total amount of water stored.
