u can use strtok to tokenise the string on the parameter of comma. now maintain an array of linked lists or hashtable in which the key will be a starting character.

[algogeeks] Question asked in Amazon online test
Given an array containing sequence of bits (0 or 1), you have to sort this array in the ascending order i.e. all 0' in first part of array followed by all 1's. The constraints is that you can swap only the adjacent elements in the array. Find the minimum number of swaps required to sort the given input array. Example: Given the array (0,0,1,0,1,0,1,1) the minimum number of swaps is 3. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Algorithm Geeks group.

Re: [algogeeks] Question asked in Amazon Online test
Let u and r be the distance to move in the up and right directions. u=y2-y1 and r=x2-x1. We have to move a total of u+r units. So the answer would be (u+r)!/u!r! since we are counting only the distinct paths. Each path from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) may be expressed as a sequence of u+r steps consisting of U or R. If seq[i] has U then it means we moved up at the i th step. Similarly R is for right. The number of distinct paths would be the number of distinct arrangements of the sequence.

if we just need to determine number of swaps, it can be Done in O(n) Ex : 11100010 start counting number of zeros from the end so we have zeroCount = 1 whenever we encounter a 1 we add current zeroCount to numberOfSwaps so numberOfSwaps = 1 and so on the final value of numberOsSwaps is the answer correct me if i am wrong -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Algorithm Geeks group.

Re: [algogeeks] Re: Largest Path in Tree [SPOJ BENFECT]
you are just finding the diameter of the tree. Remember the graph I am talking about is weighted. So if two adjacent vertices has infinite weight than that would be the longest distance between any two vertices in the graph. e.g. In you diagram suppose the sum of weight of the edges from a-b is 30. But in the graph suppose the weight of the left most edge (i.e. 4-6) is 40 then 4-6 is the longest distance not a-b. Let me know if I am making sense.

Re: [algogeeks] Find peak element in log(n)
This is a variation of binary search, the difference being that we have to search for an element that is greater than its immediate left one and lesser than its immediate right one. Just implement binary search with these additional constraints, thereby giving O(log n). In case of any difficulty/error, let me know.

Re: [algogeeks] Find peak element in log(n)
@Hassan Monfared was reading that link only. it's strange how he assume's we can leave half of element's ?? – If A[n/2-1]A[n/2] then search for a peak among A[1]… A[n/2-1] ?? why ?? eg. 12 12 12 11 1 2 5 3 m i missing something ??

Re: [algogeeks] Find peak element in log(n)
I was amazed too, but Idea is about : -- Otherwise: locally rising on some side • Must be a peak in that direction • So can throw away rest of array, leaving a[0-i] or a[i+1-n]. -- i'm not sure yet and need to test with a code.

Re: [algogeeks] Find peak element in log(n)
I think it can't be done in O(log n) as per given problem constraints. It can be done in O(log n) if additional information that array is bitonic is given. -- Prakhar Jain IIIT Allahabad B.Tech IT 3rd Year Mob no: +91 9454992196 E-mail: rit2009...@iiita.ac.in jprakha...@gmail.com On Sun, Jun 24, 2012 at 1:45 AM, Sourabh Singh singhsourab...@gmail.comwrote: @adarsh kumar are u sure it's worst case will be O (log n) ?? i think iff array is fully sorted O(n) will be required to say NO such element present On Sat, Jun 23, 2012 at 1:11 PM, adarsh kumar algog...@gmail.com wrote: This is a variation of binary search, the difference being that we have to search for an element that is greater than its immediate left one and lesser than its immediate right one.
