There are a lot of simplifications you can make to get this problem down to a manageable size. First of all, notice that each of the four buttons inverts itsself. So if you press it twice, you are back to the initial state. The order of button pushes does not matter. Any order of the same button p

Can you please tell me what type of constraint is associated with arrays Also if i m not wrong to calculate the median of any sets of numbers . The sets of no. should be sorted . So i think it;'s not beneficial to calculate the median of unsorted sets of array. It will be good if more detaile

Hi Alkispe, I think it is feasible to solve the 2nd problem in O(lgn) on the condition that the two arrays are sorted. Please let me know the algorithm if the problem can be solved for two unsorted arrays using O(lgn). :-) Thanks! On Jun 13, 2:27 pm, "Phanisekhar B V" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot

For the second question its not possible to do it in O(log n), as u need O(n) time to read the elements itself. You need to check your second question. There might be some constraints associated with the arrays. On 5/19/07, dor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > 1. You can certainly do it in O(n lo

1. You can certainly do it in O(n log(n)) without any additional memory. Sometimes you can bring the complexity down using additional memory (i.e., hashing). 2. O(n log(n)) is trivial (sorting). There is a linear time algorithm for finding the median (I call it "median of the medians", I don't kn

Hi, suppose the chords are represented as (x1,y1) (x2,y2) and x1 > x2 then sort the chords according to x1 - o(nlogn) then for each chords check with how many chords it intersects (consider only x values), logn for each key so another o(nlogn) repeat the procedure with replacing x by y
