algorithm

I have a long string 'str' and a list of a triplets in the form [start, end, replace_str]. I need to iterate through the list of triplets and replace the contents of 'str' between start and end indices by replace_str. The replace_str string can be of

I have a code that generates all of the possible combinations of 4 integers between 0 and 36. This will be 37^4 numbers = 1874161. My code is written in MATLAB: i=0; for a = 0:36 for b= 0:36 for c = 0:36 for d = 0:36 i=i+1; combination(i,:) = [a,b,c,

There was a problem in cracking the coding interview -part V Question 11.7 and the solution I am trying to implement here is their solution in Java converted to C++.But I am facing issue of segmentation fault. #include<iostream> #include<vector&g

Say we have two english texts T1 and T2 (disjoint no overlap ) cut out from a larger text T. Is there a way to figure out that T1 and T2 came from a single larger text? For example , newspaper layout is in multi column text. Given two column of text

I'm trying to find a suitable DP algorithm for simplifying a string. For example I have a string a b a b and a list of rules a b -> b a b -> c b a -> a c c -> b The purpose is to get all single chars that can be received from the given string

I have a grid (an NSArray of CGPoints)where I want to layout some objects at points based on some constraints. This is what I know: How big the grid is The number of objects that have to be laid out on the grid, at a point The minimum distance betwee

Everyone knows of the cracker barrel triangle peg solitare game. You take one peg and jump it over another into an empty hole and the goal is to have only one peg left. In my code for the game board object I have a function sCpeg(int a, int b) which

I have a non directed graph that is connected. I want to make it bi-connected by adding minimum number of edges. How can i do it? I tried searching online for this particular algorithm and also tried thinking myself without success. Please help me un

Let's say you have a text file that contains a few encrypted words. You don't know the encryption algorithm, but you know that the method that the encryption uses its just replacing every letter with another one. Lets say we've got a regular word, 'S

I literally tried everything, tried every solution but it still won't work. It seems like Hoare partition works only in certain cases but once in a while i don't even understand what it is doing. Yes, I know how the algorithm works, but implementatio

I have a 2D plane in three dimensions: x+y+z=1, and I want to generate random points(x,y,z) on the plane. How can I choose these points so that they are distributed uniformly? --------------Solutions------------- Eugene had it almost right: generate

Problem I came across is as follows: We have n tasks with l_i and w_i being completion time and weight of task i. Come up with an algorithm that minimizes sum for all i of f_i * w_i where f_i is time when task i was finished. If for example some task

As far as I know the method to find distance between 3D point to triangle is to check if the point is lie inside triangle's plane so the distance will be closest distance to triangle's plane, otherwise if the point lie outside of the triangle then th

I am trying to find the largest prime value of a big number, but it takes far too long. For example, to find the largest prime of 999999999, it takes about 55 seconds. How can I improve this? require 'prime' def highestprime num i = 1 counter = 0 cou
