UberAdobeSamsung R&D Institute

There is a one-dimensional garden of length 'N'. On each of the positions from 0 to 'N', there is a fountain, and this fountain’s water can reach up to a certain range as explained further. In other words, there are 'N' + 1 fountains located at positions 0, 1, 2, 3, …. 'N' which can be activated in the garden.

You are given an integer 'N' and an array/list 'ARR' of length 'N' + 1, where each index of the array denotes the coverage limit of a particular fountain.

A fountain at index 'i' can water the area ranging from the position 'i' - 'ARR'['i'] to 'i' + 'ARR'['i'].

Your task is to find the minimum number of fountains that have to be activated such that the whole garden from position 0 to 'N' has access to the water from at least some fountain.

Note:

1. 0-based indexing is used in the array.
2. We only care about the garden from 0 to 'N' only. So if i - 'ARR'['i'] < 0 or i + 'ARR'['i'] > 'N', you may ignore the exceeding area.
3. If some fountain covers the garden from position 'A' to position 'B', it means that the water from this fountain will spread to the whole line segment with endpoints 'A' and 'B'.
Problem approach

This problem uses the Greedy Algorithm concept to activate the minimum number of lights needed to cover the entire road.

Asked in companies
Deutsche BankIBMSalesforce

Given an array 'arr' with 'n' elements, the task is to rotate the array to the left by 'k' steps, where 'k' is non-negative.


Example:
'arr '= [1,2,3,4,5]
'k' = 1  rotated array = [2,3,4,5,1]
'k' = 2  rotated array = [3,4,5,1,2]
'k' = 3  rotated array = [4,5,1,2,3] and so on.
Problem approach

Uses the Reversal Algorithm to rotate the array in-place in linear time.

10. Maximum Consecutive Ones

Easy

Asked in companies
OlaAmazonZivost Technologies

You are given an array ‘ARR’ of length ‘N’ consisting of only ‘0’s and ‘1’s. Your task is to determine the maximum length of the consecutive number of 1’s.


For Example:
ARR = [0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1], here you can see the maximum length of consecutive 1’s is 3. Hence the answer is 3.
Problem approach

This problem uses the sliding window or simple linear traversal technique to track maximum consecutive identical elements (either 1s or 0s).
