  • Ans. Using queue

    Let us consider a function BFS that accepts a list of edges, EDGES, and the number of vertices VERTEX as a parameter and do: 

    1. Create ADJACENCYMATRIX from EDGES.
    2. Define a boolean array VISITED to store nodes that are already visited.
    3. Iterate over VISITED[i] for each 0<= i < VISITED.LENGTH, and check:
      1. If VISITED[i] is FALSE, call BFSHELPER function for ADJACENCYMATRIX, i and VISITED.

  • Ans. Brute Force
    • Given the fact that the input number is a palindrome itself makes this problem very trivial.
    • Let us assume that the given string str is a palindrome, so we know that ‘S’ comprises of two halves  ‘S1’ and ‘S2’ i.e ‘S’ = ‘S1' + ‘S2', where ‘S1' and ‘S2’ are two strings, and ‘S2’ is the reverse of ‘S1’(in case of odd length palindromes ‘S2’ won’t have the last character of ‘S1’). So a change in any of the h...

  • Ans. Naïve Solution

    The idea is very simple and naive. We will process the rotten oranges second by second. Each second, we rot all the fresh oranges that are adjacent to the already rotten oranges. The time by which there are no rotten oranges left to process will be our minimum time.

     

    In the first traversal of the grid, we will process all the cells with value 2 (rotten oranges). We will also mark their adjacent cells ...
