0/40

In a restaurant, there are 'N' chefs numbered from 0 to 'N - 1'. It takes the 'i'th chef 'A[i]' minutes to make one dish.

All the chefs start to make the dishes at the exact same time. Your task is to return the minimum time required to make at least 'M' dishes in total.

For example :
Let's say 'N' = 2, 'M' = 5, 'A' = {2, 3}
At time = 0, there will be 0 dishes prepared.
At time = 2, chef 0 will complete a dish so there will be 1 dish in total.
At time = 3, chef 1 will complete a dish so there will be 2 dishes in total.
At time = 4, chef 0 will complete a dish so there will be 3 dishes in total.
At time = 6, chef 0 and 1 will both complete a dish so there will be 5 dishes in total.
Hence, 6 minutes are required to complete 5 dishes.

You are given a number ‘N’ as a string in base ‘B’. Your task is to convert ‘N’ in base 10. If it’s impossible to convert ‘N’ into base 10, then you need to print -1.

Note :

1. ‘N’ contains only digits ‘0’ to ‘9’ and English letters ‘A’ to ‘F’.
2. Decimal equivalent of 0 is 0, 1 is 1, . . .9 is 9, A is 10, B is 11, . . . F is 15.

This time Ninja has a 'GRID' of size 'N' x 'M' of binary values (0s and 1s) the 1s in a cell represent the stones. A stone will not fall when that satisfies 2 conditions:

1) It is directly connected to the top of the grid

2) At least one of its adjacent (top,bottom,left, right) stones will not fall.

Ninja has 'R' sequence of locations of stones (given in a matrix 'REM' of size 'R' X 2). In each case, he wants to remove the stone placed at (i, j) place but due to this action, some other stones will also fall. So he needs your help to find the number of stones that fall after each removal in sequence.

Return an array of size 'R' denoting the number of stones that fall after each removal of a stone.

Note:

Sometimes a removal may refer to a location with no stone, in that case, no stone fall.

1. String Palindrome

Easy
0/40
Asked in companies
Paytm (One97 Communications Limited)CIS - Cyber InfrastructureInnovaccer

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.
