1. Coin Change(Finite Supply)

Hard

Asked in companies
IBMAdobeAmazon

You are given an array of integers ‘coins’ denoting the denomination of coins and another array of integers ‘freq’ denoting the number of coins of each denomination.

You have to find the number of ways to make the sum ‘V’ by selecting some(or all) coins from the array.

The answer can be very large. So, return the answer modulo 1000000007.

For Example :
‘N’ = 3, ‘coins’ = {1, 2, 3}, ‘freq’ = {1, 1, 3}, ‘V’ = 6

For the given example, we can make six by using the following coins:
{1, 2, 3}
{3. 3}
Hence, the answer is 2.

UnacademyCIS - Cyber InfrastructureThales

Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters.

Palindrome
A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequences of characters which read the same backwards and forwards.
Example:
If the input string happens to be, "malayalam" then as we see that this word can be read the same as forward and backwards, it is said to be a valid palindrome.

The expected output for this example will print, 'true'.

From that being said, you are required to return a boolean value from the function that has been asked to implement.
