Given an array “arr” of “N” integers. Your task is to find and return all the indices of local minima and local maxima in the given array. You need to return the indices in a 2-D list where the first(0th) row denotes the indices of local minima and the second row denotes the indices of local maxima. In case if there is no local minima or maxima return -1 as the only row element.

We say that an array element arr[i] is a local minimum if it is less than to its neighbours, and local maximum if it is greater than to its neighbours.

Note:

For corner elements, we need to consider only one neighbour for comparison.    

For Example:

For the given array :  10 5 20 30 40 35 50

The red circle at index 1,5 are local minima because elements at index 1, and 5 both are smaller to its neighbours.

The green circle at index 0,4,6 are local maxima, because element at index 4 is greater than its neighbours, and element at 0, and 4 are corner elements and also greater than its one neighbour.

You are given two Strings 'P' and 'Q' of equal length.

Your task is to return 1 if String 'P' can be converted into String 'Q' by cyclically rotating it to the right any number of times ( Possibly Zero ), else return 0.

A cyclic rotation to the right on String 'A' consists of taking String 'A' and moving the rightmost character to the leftmost position. For example, if 'A' = "pqrst", then it will be "tpqrs" after one cyclic rotation on 'A'.

For example:

Consider the two strings 'P' = "abfyg" and 'Q' = "gabfy" 

If we cyclically rotate String 'P' to the right once. The resulting string P becomes "gabfy" which is equal to String 'Q'. 

Therefore it is possible to convert String 'P' to String 'Q'.

Bob lives with his wife in a city named Berland. Bob is a good husband, so he goes out with his wife every Friday to ‘Arcade’ mall.

‘Arcade’ is a very famous mall in Berland. It has a very unique transportation method between shops. Since the shops in the mall are laying in a straight line, you can jump on a very advanced trampoline from the shop i, and land in any shop between (i) to (i + Arr[i]), where Arr[i] is a constant given for each shop.

There are N shops in the mall, numbered from 0 to N-1. Bob's wife starts her shopping journey from shop 0 and ends it in shop N-1. As the mall is very crowded on Fridays, unfortunately, Bob gets lost from his wife. So he wants to know, what is the minimum number of trampoline jumps from shop 0 he has to make in order to reach shop N-1 and see his wife again. If it is impossible to reach the last shop, return -1.
