Asked in companies
You are given a matrix ‘M’ having dimensions ‘WIDTH x ‘HEIGHT’ and provided with an integer ‘N’. The matrix ‘M’ can take only binary values, i.e., 0 and 1. Your task is to find the “maximum number of ones” that the matrix ‘M’ can have such that every square sub-matrix of M of dimensions ‘N’ x ‘N’ has no more than ‘MAXONES’ ones.
Problem approach
By using traversing one by one able to solve this.

1. Longest Alternating Subsequence
Moderate
15m average time
85% success
0/80
Asked in companies
You are given an array ‘ARR’ of integers. Your task is to find the length of the longest alternating subsequence.
Note:
A sequence a1, a2, .... an is called an alternating sequence if its elements satisfy one of the following relations : a1 < a2 > a3 < a4 > a5..... or a1 > a2 < a3 > a4 < a5.
For example:
'ARR' = {3, 10, 1, 2, 30}, the longest alternating subsequence for this array can be {3, 10, 1, 30} or {3, 10, 2, 30}. Therefore, the answer will be 4.
Problem approach
1. Declare two integers inc and dec equal to one
2. Run a loop for i [1, N-1]
If arr[i] is greater than the previous element then set inc equal to dec + 1
else if arr[i] is smaller than the previous element then set dec equal to inc + 1
3. Return the maximum of inc and dec
