DunzoHCL TechnologiesDeutsche Bank

You are given an array/list ‘ARR’ of ‘N’ positive integers and an integer ‘K’. Your task is to check if there exists a subset in ‘ARR’ with a sum equal to ‘K’.

Note: Return true if there exists a subset with sum equal to ‘K’. Otherwise, return false.

For Example :
If ‘ARR’ is {1,2,3,4} and ‘K’ = 4, then there exists 2 subsets with sum = 4. These are {1,3} and {4}. Hence, return true.
Problem approach

Some elements can be repeated in the given array. Make sure to iterate over the number of occurrences of those elements to avoid repeated combinations. Once you do that, things are fairly straightforward. Call a recursive function with the remaining sum and make the indices to move forward. When the sum reaches K, print all the elements which were selected to get this sum.

1. Check Palindrome

Asked in companies
EXL ServiceThalesOptum

You're given an alphabetical string ‘S’.


Determine whether it is palindrome or not. A palindrome is a string that is equal to itself upon reversing it.


For example:
‘S’ = racecar
The reverse of ‘S’ is: racecar
Since ‘S’ is equal to its reverse. So ‘S’ is a palindrome.
Hence output will be 1.
Problem approach

Create a count array of alphabet size which is typically 256. Initialize all values of the count array as 0.
Traverse the given string and increment count of every character.
Traverse the count array and if the count array has more than one odd value, return false. Otherwise, return true.
