1. Anagram Pairs

You are given two strings 'str1' and 'str1'.


You have to tell whether these strings form an anagram pair or not.


The strings form an anagram pair if the letters of one string can be rearranged to form another string.

Pre-requisites:

Anagrams are defined as words or names that can be formed by rearranging the letters of another word. Such as "spar" can be formed by rearranging letters of "rasp". Hence, "spar" and "rasp" are anagrams. 

Other examples include:

'triangle' and 'integral'
'listen' and 'silent'
Note:
Since it is a binary problem, there is no partial marking. Marks will only be awarded if you get all the test cases correct. 
Problem approach

The approach was simple and I was able to solve it.

You have been given a grid containing some oranges. Each cell of this grid has one of the three integers values:

  • Value 0 - representing an empty cell.
  • Value 1 - representing a fresh orange.
  • Value 2 - representing a rotten orange.
  • Every second, any fresh orange that is adjacent(4-directionally) to a rotten orange becomes rotten.

    Your task is to find out the minimum time after which no cell has a fresh orange. If it's impossible to rot all the fresh oranges then print -1.

    Note:
    1. The grid has 0-based indexing.
    2. A rotten orange can affect the adjacent oranges 4 directionally i.e. Up, Down, Left, Right.

    Very standard problem. I used Multisource BFS to solve this problem

    You are given two water jugs with capacities X and Y litres respectively. Both the jugs are initially empty. There is an infinite amount of water supply available. The jugs do not have markings to measure smaller quantities.

    The following operations are allowed:

    • Fill any of the jugs entirely with water.
    • Empty any of the jugs.
    • Pour water from one jug into another till the other jug is full, or the first jug itself is empty.
    

    You are required to tell whether it is possible to measure exactly ‘Z’ litres using both of the jugs.

    If Z litres of water is measurable, you must have Z litres of water contained within one or both buckets by the end.

    For example:

    In order to measure 2 litres from jugs of 4 and 6 litres we can follow the following steps-
    
    • Fill 6-litres jugs to its maximum capacity.
    • Pour water from 6-litres jug to the jug with 4-litres capacity.
    • Pour water from 6-litres jug to the jug with 4-litres capacity.
    
    Problem approach

    I first explained the approach and then coded the solution.

    You are given a matrix of flight 'TICKETS', where the 'i'th row represents 'i’th flight ticket. 'TICKETS'[i] = [SOURCE, DESTINATION] represents that there is a one-way flight starting from the city 'SOURCE' and ending at city 'DESTINATION'. All the flight tickets belong to a man who is initially in city "DEL".

    You are supposed to reconstruct the journey satisfying the following conditions:

    1. He should begin his journey from “DEL”.

    2. He should use all the tickets and complete the journey.

    3. He must use all the tickets only once.

    Note:
    1. Journey means the order in which the cities will be visited.
    
    2. The given tickets have at least one itinerary.
    
    3. If multiple valid itineraries are possible, then return the itinerary that is a lexicographically smallest itinerary.
