Odd Even Levels in Binary Tree
Given a binary tree, the task is to compute the modulus of the difference between the sum of nodes at odd levels and the sum of nodes at even levels.
Input:
The first line...read more

2. Use the below algorithm to calculate level sums where:
oddSum: denotes sum of nodes at odd levels, initially 0.
evenSum: denotes sum of nodes at ecen levels, initially 0.
level: the level of the current node, initially 1.

Rotting Oranges Problem Statement
You are given a grid containing oranges where each cell of the grid can contain one of the three integer values:
• 0 - representing an empty cell
• 1 - representing a fre...read more
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 ...read more

Minimum Characters to Make a String Palindrome
Given a string STR of length N, determine the minimum number of characters to be added to the front of the string to make it a palindrome.
Input:
The first...read more
Ans. Brute Force
• The idea is pretty simple, as we can add only at the front, thus, we need to work on the prefix of the string.
• We need to find the largest prefix that is a palindrome. For example, in case of “abbac”, the largest prefix that is a palindrome is “abba”, now all you need to do is add the reverse of left out suffix i.e. “ca” at the front to make it a palindrome.
• This can be done in the following way:-
  • Until the str...read more
