[algogeeks] Re: design a data structure
Another approach will be to insert the elements in order and remove the first(or the second) half in operation 2 Another approach would be to use a bitset , just mark all the elements in the specific range as 0 . We are not supposed to retrieve the elements so , keep a bit corresponding to every element (has the number , find it's position and put it there , a simple one one mapping will do) Now , just mark all top elements as false on the second go . PS:Would come up with the proof for amortized complexity soon , but can be done something like this First operation O(1) , second operation O(n) .However , we can only insert or delete , from this sequence of n items , in O(n) time in the worst case . These operations can be completed in a sequence in O(n) time . So the amortized complexity should be O(n)/n or O(1) . On Jan 30, 3:44 pm, juver++ avpostni...@gmail.com wrote: 1.

Re: [algogeeks] Re: Amazon Again
For any gas pump, when your car arrives, it contains 0 or more gas. So, for each gas pump, the worst case is starting from that pump. Then, if we starting from pump A1, passed A2 - Ak and failed at Ak+1. for A1 to Ak, we can not pass Ak+1 starting from any of them. So we try start from Ak+1. This could be solved in liner time. finding a possible start pump use O(n) and prove it use another O(n). -weiq On Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 9:47 PM, nishaanth nishaant...@gmail.com wrote: @Wei.Qi Can you clarify when your algorithm terminates and also what is the running time of the algorithm ?

[algogeeks] first larger element in unsorted array...
You are given an array (unsorted) and for every element i, find the first occurance of an element j (in the remaining array) that is greater than or equal to i. If no such j occurs then print -1. Eg: Input--- A={1,3,5,7,6,4,8} Output--- 3 5 7 8 8 8 -1 Time Complexity:O(n) Space Complexity:O(n) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Algorithm Geeks group.

simple dp void solve(int *arr,int sz) { int ans[sz]; ans[sz-1]=-1; for(int i=sz-2;i=0;i--) { if(arr[i]arr[i+1]) ans[i]=arr[i+1]; else ans[i]=ans[i+1]; } for(int i=0;isz;i++) printf(%d ,ans[i]); } On Sun, Jan 30, 2011 at 10:00 PM, ritu ritugarg.c...@gmail.com wrote: You are given an array (unsorted) and for every element i, find the first occurance of an element j (in the remaining array) that is greater than or equal to i.

@above I think you should process not only the right part but the left one too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Algorithm Geeks group.
