Combination Sum Problem

Problem: Given a collection of candidate numbers (C) and a target number (T), find all unique combinations in C where the candidate numbers sums to T. Each number in C may only be used once in the combination. Note: All numbers (including target) will be positive integers. Elements in a combination (a1, a2,…, ak) must Read More →

Flatten A Binary Tree to Linked List (In-place)

Problem: Given a binary tree, flatten it to a linked list in-place. For example, The flattened tree should look like: Solution: We can solve this problem recursively by doing a in-order traversal of the tree. Implementation:(Recursion) Non-Recursion, No Stack We can also solve the problem even without a stack: Each time when we prune a Read More →

Word Ladder Problem

Problem: Given two words (start and end), and a dictionary, find the length of shortest transformation sequence from start to end, such that: Only one letter can be changed at a time. Each intermediate word must exist in the dictionary For example, Given: start = “hit” end = “cog” dict = ["hot","dot","dog","lot","log"] As one shortest Read More →

How to Check if a given Number is Fibonacci number?

In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci sequence are the numbers in the following integer sequence: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144.. A simple way is to generate Fibonacci numbers until the generated number is greater than or equal to ‘x’. Following is an interesting property about Fibonacci numbers that can also be used to check if a given number Read More →

Product of All Other Array Numbers

Problem: Given an array of n integers where n>1, return an array of same size an input array where at every index of the output array should contain the product of all elements in the array except the element at the given index. Example: arr[] = {10, 4, 1, 6, 2} prod[] = {48,120,480,80,240} Solution: Read More →

Find the Missing Element in Arithmetic Progression

Problem: Find the missing number in an Arithmetic Progression. An Arithmetic Progression is defined as one in which there is a constant difference between the consecutive terms of a given series of numbers. You are provided with consecutive elements of an Arithmetic Progression. There is however one hitch: exactly one number from the original series Read More →

Find a Peak Element in Array

Question: A peak element in an integer array is defined as an element that is greater than its neighbors. Given an input array where num[i] ≠ num[i+1], find a peak element and return its index. The array may contain multiple peaks, in that case return the index to any one of the peaks is fine. Read More →

Check if Binary Tree is Height Balanced?

Given a binary tree, determine if it is height-balanced. A height-balanced binary tree is defined as a binary tree in which the depth of the two subtrees of every node never differ by more than 1. The solution presented is a recursive. Find the height of left and right subtrees and check the difference of Read More →
