Bank Of AmericaInfosysSamsung

You are given an undirected graph as an adjacency matrix consisting of 'v' vertices and an integer 'm'.


You need to return 'YES' if you can color the graph using at most 'm' colors so that no two adjacent vertices are the same. Else, return 'NO'.


For example:
Input:
If the given adjacency matrix is:
[0 1 0]
[1 0 1]
[0 1 0] and 'm' = 3.

alt.txt

Output: YES

Explanation:
The given adjacency matrix tells us that 1 is connected to 2 and 2 is connected to 3. We can use three different colors and color all three nodes.
Hence we return true.

MicrosofteBayOla

You are given an integer ‘K’, and two numbers ‘A’ and ‘B’. You need to count the occurrences of the given digit ‘K’, in the range [A, B].

Note:
 You need to count occurrences at every place of the number. You also need to include the lower and higher limits of the given range
For example :
Given K = 3, A = 1, B = 15, then 3 occurs 2 times(3, 13) in the range [1, 15], so you need to print 2.
