IntuitNetlinkAirtel

You are given a linked list with a cycle. You need to find and return the Nth node from where the cycle starts in the input Linked List (moving towards the head of the linked list).

The cycle is created by connecting the last element of Linked List (i.e., tail) to some other node given in input.

Return null if no such part exists.

The counting of nodes starts from 1.

For Example:
head = [5 , 4 , 0 , -1]

pos = 2

N = 1

You have to find the node where the cycle begins and return the Nth node from that point in the direction of the head.

Given an array ‘ARR’ and an integer ‘K’, your task is to find all the count of all sub-arrays whose sum is divisible by the given integer ‘K’.

Note:
If there exists no subarray in the given sequence whose sum is divisible by ‘K’ then simply return ‘0’.
Example:
Suppose the given array is ‘ARR’ = { 5, 0, 2, 3, 1} and ‘K = 5’.
As we can see in below image, there are a total of 6 subarrays that have the total sum divisible by ‘K’
So we return the integer 6.

1. Number of Connected Computers.

You have been given a grid ‘ARR’ of size ‘N' * M’. ‘ARR[i][j]’ is ‘1’ if the computer is present at position ‘(i,j)’ otherwise it is zero. A computer is said to be a connected computer if there is a computer in its row or column other than itself. Your task is to return the number of connected computers.

Example:

subsequence

Let’s say you have a grid [[1,0],[1,1]]. We can say the computer ‘ARR[0][0]’ is a connected computer because there is a computer in its column other than itself. We can say the computer ‘arr[1][0]’ is a connected computer because there is a computer in its row and column other than itself. We can say the computer ‘arr[1][1]’ is a connected computer because there is a computer in its row other than itself. Therefore the number of connected computers is 3.

Given a text and a wildcard pattern of size N and M respectively, implement a wildcard pattern matching algorithm that finds if the wildcard pattern is matched with the text. The matching should cover the entire text not partial text.

The wildcard pattern can include the characters ‘?’ and ‘*’

 ‘?’ – matches any single character 
 ‘*’ – Matches any sequence of characters(sequence can be of length 0 or more)
