You are given a 2-dimensional array/list having N rows and M columns, which is filled with ones(1) and zeroes(0). 1 signifies land, and 0 signifies water.

A cell is said to be connected to another cell, if one cell lies immediately next to the other cell, in any of the eight directions (two vertical, two horizontal, and four diagonals).

A group of connected cells having value 1 is called an island. Your task is to find the number of such islands present in the matrix.

You are given an array “arr'' of integers. Your task is to find the contiguous subarray within the array which has the largest product of its elements. You have to report this maximum product.

An array c is a subarray of array d if c can be obtained from d by deletion of several elements from the beginning and several elements from the end.

For e.g.- The non-empty subarrays of an array [1,2,3] will be- [1],[2],[3],[1,2],[2,3],[1,2,3]. 
For Example:
If arr = {-3,4,5}.
All the possible non-empty contiguous subarrays of “arr” are {-3}, {4}, {5}, {-3,4}, {4,5} and {-3,4,5}.
The product of these subarrays are -3, 4, 5, -12, 20 and -60 respectively.
The maximum product is 20. Hence, the answer is 20.

HCL TechnologiesAppleOYO

Given an array of size 'N' return the count array such that COUNT[i] equals the number of element which are smaller than ARR[ i ] on its the right side.

For Example : ARR = [4,2,1,5] the count array corresponding to the given array is :-.

The Number of elements smaller than 4 on its right side is 2.
The Number of elements smaller than 2 on its right side is 1.
The Number of elements smaller than 1 on its right side is 0.
The Number of elements smaller than 5 on its right side is 0.
Hence the count array is [2,1,0,0]
