Path Queries Problem Statement
Consider a weighted, undirected graph with 'V' vertices numbered from 1 to 'V' and 'E' bidirectional edges. You are tasked with handling 'Q' queries. For each query, you are...read more
Ans. Dijkstra Algorithm
We will run Dijkstra Algorithm for all vertices in this approach and store the minimum distance in an array. Then we can answer the queries using this distance array.
 
Dijkstra Algorithm is one of the most popular algorithms in graph theory. A single-source shortest path algorithm gives the shortest path length to all vertices from a given vertex known as the source vertex. It is a greedy algorith...read more

Merge Sort Algorithm Problem Statement
Your task is to sort a sequence of numbers stored in the array ‘ARR’ in non-descending order using the Merge Sort algorithm.
Explanation:
Merge Sort is a divide-an...read more
Ans. Recursion
The basic idea is that we divide the given ‘ARR’ into two-part call them ‘leftHalves’ and ‘rightHalves’ and call the same function again with both the parts. In the end, we will get sorted ‘leftHaves’ and sorted ‘righthalves’ which we merge both of them and return a merged sorted ‘ARR’.
We implement this approach with a divide and conquer strategy.
 
Here is the algorithm :

Ans. Backtracking Approach
Initialize, all the cells of the solution matrix used to print the path matrix to 0. First, you cannot make use of the existing maze to print the solution maze as you have to distinguish b/w 1 of maze or 1 of ‘SOLUTION matrix.
 
Form a recursive function, which will follow a path and check if the path reaches the destination or not. If the path does not reach the destination then backtrack and t...read more
