AnswersA stream of data representing the price of a commodity is being read. The data is of the format (price:Int, timestamp:Option[Long]).
- abzy August 17, 2019 in India
If the timestamp is missing, it means the price has to be deleted.
If timestamp is old, it means the previous data with same timestamp has to be updated with this new price.
Else it's the new price of the commodity.
At any point of time the latest, max and min of the price has to be printed.
If the delete instruction is received through the stream, the min/max should be updated accordingly.| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE

AnswersThere are N stations in a certain region, numbered 1 through N. It takes di,j minutes to travel from Station i to Station j (1 ¥leq i, j ¥leq N)$. Note that di,j=dj,i may not hold.
- neer.1304 August 15, 2019 in United States
You are now at Station 1. From here, you have to visit all the stations exactly once. We assume that you have already visited Station 1. However, due to your schedule, there are M restrictions that must be satisfied. The format of each restriction is as follows:
• Station si must be visited before Station ti. (1≤i≤M)
Find the minimum time required to visit all the stations. Note that the last station to visit can be any of the stations.
Constraints
• 1≤N≤14
• 0≤di,j≤108 (1≤i,j≤N)
• di,i=0 (1≤i≤N)
• 0≤M≤N(N−1)⁄2
• 1≤si,ti≤N (1≤i≤M)
• si≠ti (1≤i≤M)
• There exists a path visiting all the stations under the given restrictions.
Input
Input is given from Standard Input in the following format: N d1,1 … d1,N : dN,1 … dN,N M s1 t1 : sM tM

AnswersThere are N rooms in a row. The i-th room (1≤i≤N) from the left is called Room i. You are given M closed intervals [ai,bi] (1≤i≤M). At time 0, all rooms j such that ai≤j≤bi for some i (1≤i≤M) are occupied, and the other rooms are vacant.
- neer.1304 August 15, 2019 in United States
You are given Q queries. The i-th query (1≤i≤Q) represents an event happening at time i, as follows:
• In the i-th query (1≤i≤Q), a closed interval [ci,di] (1≤i≤Q) is given.
• This query asks: "Are all rooms j such that ci≤j≤ci" vacant?
• If all those rooms are vacant, the query should be responded by OK, then all rooms j such that ci≤j≤ci get occupied.
• Otherwise, the query should be responded by OK, then nothing happens.
Process these queries.
Constraints
• 1≤N≤109
• 0≤M≤1000
• 1≤ai≤bi≤N (1≤i≤M)

AnswersYou are given a list of edges in a graph and for each pair of vertices that are connected by an edge, there are two edges between them, one curved edge and one straight edge i.e. the tuple (x, y, w1, w2) means that between vertices x and y, there is a straight edge with weight w1 and a curved edge with weight w2. You are given two vertices a and b and you have to go from a to b through a series of edges such that in the entire path you can use at most 1 curved edge. Your task is to find the shortest path from a to b satisfying the above condition.

AnswerThere is a meeting scheduled in an office that lasts for time t and starts at time 0. In between the meeting there are n presentations whose start and end times are given i.e. the ith presentation starts at s[i] and ends at e[i]-1. The presentations do not overlap with each other. You are given k, the maximum number of presentations that you can reschedule keeping the original order intact. Note that the duration of the presentation can't be changed. You can only change the start and end time. Your task is to maximize the longest time period in which there is no presentation scheduled during the meeting.

AnswersYou're running a pool of servers where the servers are
- neer.1304 July 28, 2019 in United States
numbered sequentially starting from 1. Over time, any
given server might explode, in which case its server
number is made available for reuse. When a new
server is launched, it should be given the lowest available number.
Write a function which, given the list of currently
allocated server numbers, returns the number of the next server to allocate.
For example, your function should behave something like the following:
>> next_server_number([5, 3, 1])
2
>> next_server_number([5, 4, 1, 2])
3
>> next_server_number([3, 2, 1])
4
>> next_server_number([2, 3])
1
>> next_server_number([])
1
Server names consist of an alphabetic host type (e.g. "apibox") concatenated with the server number,
with server numbers allocated as before (so "apibox1",
"apibox2", etc. are valid hostnames).
Write a name tracking class with two operations,
allocate(host_type) and deallocate(hostname).
The former should reserve and return the next
available hostname, while the latter should release
that hostname back into the pool.
# For example:
#
# >> tracker = Tracker.new()
# >> tracker.allocate("apibox")
# "apibox1"
# >> tracker.allocate("apibox")
# "apibox2"
# >> tracker.deallocate("apibox1")
# nil
# >> tracker.allocate("apibox")
# "apibox1"
# >> tracker.allocate("sitebox")
# "sitebox1"| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE
