Re: [algogeeks] Re: Facebook Interview Question from glassdoor
@sravan, What i meant was get the jth digit in the representation of i to the base NUM_PER_DIGIT. ie 3rd digit of (2137)8 which is 2.. 7 is the 0th digit, 3 being 1st digit, 1 being 2nd digit and 2 being 3rd digit.Here 2137 is a base 8 representation.

Re: [algogeeks] Re: Facebook Interview Question from glassdoor
@Immanuel: In the iteretive approach, can you tell me what you meant by this function. A code is not required, but, how are we going to calculate? the method name is little confusing. The recursive is good.. but.. I'm looking at the iterative approach. ---> getJthDigitinItotheBaseNumPerDigit(NUM_PER_DIGIT,i,j); Thanks Sravan. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.

Re: [algogeeks] Re: Facebook Interview Question from glassdoor
@Anuj, true.This will optimise the solution by reducing the amount of stack
space used for recursion.
NUM_PER_DIGIT = 3
char c[][NUM_PER_DIGIT] = {"abc","def",...};
char n[] = 2156169 (number is pressed);
int k=7;
char * s = (char *) malloc(sizeof(char) * k);
void printAllCombinations (int k, char *s, int count) {
if (count >= k - 1) {
s[k] = '\0';
print (s);
} else {
for (i =0; i< NUM_PER_DIGIT; i++) {
s[i] = c[n[count]][i];
printAllCombinations(k,s, count+1);
}
}
}
printAllCombinations (k,s,0);
Thanks,
Immanuel

Re: [algogeeks] Re: Facebook Interview Question from glassdoor
Immanuel,
We can keep c and n arrays as global variable as they are not part of state
of the recursion.

I didn't get the question actually. I have copied the post(the question). but i dont think for 12, 36 can be the answer. We have to go for the permutation of the telephone number i guess after substituting for each number the corresponding set of alphabets. The question given is - "Given a telephone number, find all the permutations of the letters assuming 1=abc, 2=def, etc." and the solution given is - Standard "find all permutations" of XYZ, except for each XYZ, you include permutations for each X0...Xn, Y0...Yn, etc On May 23, 5:51 pm, anshu mishra wrote: > for 12 answer will be 36? is it ur question? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
