Answersassuming there is a freeway, n cars on the road, each car has a different integer speed, but are in the 1-n range. Now give you an array that represents the speed of each car. The starting order of the vehicle is the order of the array, ask the final formation of several clusters, the size of each cluster is how much? It can be understood that, although the vehicle speed is different, but even behind the car faster than the previous car, because you cannot pass, the last must only travel at the speed of the previous car, which formed a cluster. For example [2,4,1,3], finally [2,4] is a cluster, [1,3] is a cluster.

AnswersAssuming your budget is N, you need to buy a rectangular land. Give a matrix of land prices and ask what is the largest area available for buying land. Land prices must be non-negative. For example, the budget is 11.
1 2 3 1 0 1 4 2 1 9 10 4 The output should be. 1 2 3 0 1 4
Such a matrix, because 1 +2 +3 +0 +1 +4 = 11. And the largest area.

AnswersThe grid is n by m. Each cell contains a unique number on it. Maga is at the left-top and wants to go to right-bottom. But there is a condition. Maga can go through only two way - right and down. And the path of your move is called the nodes you have passed through over them. The path is called the most beautiful if the following condition is satisfied: The sorted of the path has to be lexicographic smallest as possible as. Output the most beautiful path for given grid.
Input:
In the first line you are given two numbers: the dimensions of grid - n and m. The next n lines contains m numbers. Each number is unique.
Output:
Output the most beautiful path.4 2 3 1
Return 1 2 4
- ajay.raj December 22, 2017 in United States
There are 2 ways to reach at (2,2) cell. The pathes are 4, 3, 1 or 4, 2, 1 respectively. So The most beautiful of them is 4, 2, 1 because if looking the sorted of them it looks like these : 1, 3, 4 and 1, 2, 4 respectively. So 1, 2, 4 is lexicographic smaller than the other. So the ans is 1 2 4.| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE

AnswersMagical binary strings are non-empty binary strings if the following two conditions are true:
- ajay.raj December 14, 2017 in United States
The number of 0's is equal to the number of 1's.
For every prefix of the binary string, the number of 1's should not be less than the number of 0's.
A magical string can contain multiple magical substrings. If two consecutive substrings are magical, then we can swap the substrings as long as the resulting string is still a magical string. Given a magical binary string, str, perform zero or more swap operations on its consecutive magical substrings such that the resulting string is aslexicographically large as possible. Two substrings are considered to be consecutive if the last character of the first substring occurs exactly one index before the first character of the second substring.
-----
Input Format
a single binary string, str.
Constraints
It is guaranteed that str is a binary string of 1's and 0's only.
1 ≤ length(str) ≤ 50
It is guaranteed that str is a magical string.
Output Format
Find a string denoting the lexicographically largest magical string that can be formed from str.
Sample Input 0
11011000
Sample output
11100100
Explanation of sample
Given the magical string str = 11011000, we can choose two consecutive magical substrings, 1100 and 10, to swap such that the resultant string, str' = 11100100, is the lexicographically largest possible magical string possible. Thus, we return the value of str', which is 11100100, as our answer.| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE

AnswersQuestion: Given a sorted integer array, return sum of array so that each element is unique by adding some numbers to duplicate elements so that sum of unique elements is minimum.
- ajay.raj December 14, 2017 in United States
I.e., if all elements in the array are unique, return the sum. If some elements are duplicates, then increment them to make sure all elements are unique so that the sum of these unique elements is minimum.
Some examples:
input1[] = { 2, 3, 4, 5 } => return 19 = 2+3+4+5 (all elements are unique, so just add them up)
input2[] = { 1, 2, 2 } => return 6 = 1+2+3 (index 2 is duplicate, so increment it)
input3[] = { 2, 2, 4, 5 } => return 14 = 2+3+4+5 (index 1 is duplicate, so increment it)| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE

AnswersMr. Octopus has recently shut down hisfactory and want to sell off his metal rods to a local businessman.
- ajay.raj December 14, 2017 in United States
In order to maximize profit, he should sellthe metal of same size and shape. If he sells metal rods of length ,he receives N x L xmetal_price. The remaining smallermetal rods will be thrown away. To cut the metal rods, he needs to pay cost_per_cut for every cut.
What is the maximum amount of money Mr.Octopus can make?
Input Format
First line of input contains cost_per_cut
Second line of input contains metal_price
Third line contains L, the number of rods Mr. Octopus has,followed by L integers in each line representinglength of each rod.
Output Format
Print the result corresponding to the testcase.
Constraints
1 <= metal_price, cost_per_cut <= 1000
1 <= L <= 50
Each element of lenghts will lie in range [1, 10000].

Explanation Here cuts are pretty cheap. So we can make largenumber of cuts to reduce the amount of wood wasted. Most optimal lengths ofrods will be . So we will cut pieces of length from rod,and throw peice of length from it. Similarly we will cut piecesof length from rod and throw away a piece of length .From rod, we will cut pieces of length andthrow a piece of length . So in total we have pieces of length andwe have made cuts also. So total profit is
