I'm trying to calculate the sum of the integers of array whose index belongs to the interval [n1; n2]
n1 & n2 are int & 0 <= n1 <= n2 < array.length
int[] array = new int[] {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3};
int zeroToOne = calc(array,0, 1); // Should return 1
int zeroToFive = calc(array,0, 5); // Should return 15
int doubleZero = calc(array,0, 0); // Should return 0
int zeroToSix = calc(array, 0,6); // Should return 18
So I've tried three methods
First method:
public static int calc(int[] array, int n1, int n2) {
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
if (i <= n2 && n1 <= i) {
sum += i;
}
}
return sum;
}
}
I got:
1 15 0 21
Second method:
public static int calc(int[] array, int n1, int n2) {
int sum = 0;
for (int a: array){
if (n1 <= a && a <= n2){
sum += a;
}
}
return sum;
}
I got:
1 18 0 18
Third method:
public static int calc(int[] array, int n1, int n2) {
return Arrays.stream(array, n1, n2).sum();
}
And I got:
0 10 0 15
How can I solve this problem?
A small change to your first function and it should work:
public static int calc(int[] array, int n1, int n2) {
int sum = 0;
for (int i = n1; i <= n2; i++) {
sum += array[i];
}
return sum;
}
Note that we iterate over the elements from position n1 to n2, and summing them up.
The method you call:
Arrays.stream(array, n1, n2)
has the following definition in documentation:
stream(int[] array, int startInclusive, int endExclusive)
so you can see that the 3rd parameter is exclusive.
What you can do is just call it with the last index + 1. This should be fine:
return Arrays.stream(array, n1, n2+1).sum();
change first method to:
public static int calc(int[] array, int n1, int n2) {
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
if (array[i] <= n2 && n1 <= array[i]) {
sum += array[i];
}
}
return sum;
}
and if you want to n1 & n2 are int & 0 <= n1 <= n2 < array.length,
you'd better check values of n1 and n2 and then if the condition was false do something like throw a exception
for do this:
public static int calc(int[] array, int n1, int n2) {
if(!(n1>=0 && n1<=n2 && n1<=array.length && n2<=array.length)){
// do something like throw a exception
}
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
if (array[i] <= n2 && n1 <= array[i]) {
sum += array[i];
}
}
return sum;
}
I have some proposition here!
This work for me in PHP, I have try to translate it to JAVA.
public static int calc(int[] array, int n1, int n2) {
if(!(n1>=0 && n1<=n2 && n1<=array.length && n2<=array.length)){
// Throw a exception here or return something
}
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
if (i >= n1 && i <= n2) {
sum += array[i];
}
}
return sum;
}
I translate that from my PHP code below.
function calc($array, $n1, $n2)
{
if (!($n1 >= 0 && $n1 <= $n2 && $n1 <= count($array) && $n2 <= count($array))) {
throw new Exception('Invalid params.');
}
$sum = 0;
for ($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i++) {
if ($i >= $n1 && $i <= $n2) {
$sum += $array[$i];
}
}
return $sum;
}
//Example
$array = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3];
echo calc($array, 0, 1); // 1
echo calc($array, 0, 5); // 15
var sum = 0
for (index , item) in array.enumerated() {
if n1 <= index && index <= n2{
print("index: \(index)")
sum += item
}
}
return sum
void check(int start, int* count, int size, int * set)
{
if(start == size) {
(*count) += 1;
return;
}
for(int i = start; i < size ; i++)
{
if((set[start] == 0) && (((i+1) % (start +1) == 0) || (start + 1) % (i+1) == 0 ))
{
set[start] = 1;
check(start +1, count, size, set);
set[start] = 0;
}
}
}
int countArrangement(int n){
int* set = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int) * n);
memset(set, 0, sizeof(int) * n);
int count = 0;
check(0, &count, n, set);
return count;
}
this is the code translated from java to c but the problem is , when n is greater than 6 then the result is wrong
for 7 it increase by one but after that the result is always smaller than the expected value, I am not able to understand what am i missing at.

that java code
public class Solution {
int count = 0;
public int countArrangement(int N) {
boolean[] visited = new boolean[N + 1];
calculate(N, 1, visited);
return count;
}
public void calculate(int N, int pos, boolean[] visited) {
if (pos > N)
count++;
for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++) {
if (!visited[i] && (pos % i == 0 || i % pos == 0)) {
visited[i] = true;
calculate(N, pos + 1, visited);
visited[i] = false;
}
}
}
}
Can you just point out the missing part?
this is the code translated from java to c
Well, not really.
You have not made a one-to-one translation. The C code is (perhaps by mistake) using a completely different algorithm.
Start by making a one-to-one translation. Once you have that working, you can start playing with algorithm changes. But don't do both in the same step.
A one-to-one translation would be more like:
void calculate(int N, int pos, int * visited, int* count)
{
if (pos > N)
(*count)++;
for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++) {
if (!visited[i] && (pos % i == 0 || i % pos == 0)) {
visited[i] = 1;
calculate(N, pos + 1, visited, count);
visited[i] = 0;
}
}
}
int countArrangement(int n)
{
int* set = calloc(n+1, sizeof *set);
int count = 0;
calculate(n, 1, set, &count);
free(set);
return count;
}
Notice how the C code for calculate is almost identical to the java version. No change of algorithm - only a few changes required due to language differences.
I am trying to the length of the longest sequence of numbers shared by two arrays. Given the following two arrays:
int [] a = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8,};
int [] b = {2, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6,};
The result should be 3 as the the longest common sequence between the two is{1, 2, 3}.
The numbers must be in a sequence for the program to consider to count it.
I have thought about it and wrote a small beginning however, I am not sure how to approach this
public static int longestSharedSequence(int[] arr, int[] arr2){
int start = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < arr2.length; j++){
int n = 0;
while(arr[i + n] == arr2[j + n]){
n++;
if(((i + n) >= arr.length) || ((j + n) >= arr2.length)){
break;
}
}
}
That is a very good start that you have. All you need to do is have some way of keeping track of the best n value that you have encountered. So at the start of the method, declare int maxN = 0. Then, after the while loop within the two for loops, check if n (the current matching sequence length) is greater than maxN (the longest matching sequence length encountered so far). If so, update maxN to the value of n.
Since you also want the matching elements to be in sequential order, you will need to check that the elements in the two arrays not only match, but that they are also 1 greater than the previous element in each array.
Putting these together gives the following code:
public static int longestSharedSequence(int[] arr, int[] arr2) {
int maxN = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < arr2.length; j++) {
int n = 0;
// Check that elements match and that they are either the
// first element in the sequence that is currently being
// compared or that they are 1 greater than the previous
// element
while (arr[i + n] == arr2[j + n]
&& (n == 0 || arr[i + n] == arr[i + n - 1] + 1)) {
n++;
if (i + n >= arr.length || j + n >= arr2.length) {
break;
}
}
// If we found a longer sequence than the previous longest,
// update maxN
if (n > maxN) {
maxN = n;
}
}
}
return maxN;
}
I didn't think of anything smarter than the path you were already on:
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Random;
public class MaxSeq {
public static void main(String... args) {
int[] a = new int[10000];
int[] b = new int[10000];
final Random r = new Random();
Arrays.parallelSetAll(a, i -> r.nextInt(100));
Arrays.parallelSetAll(b, i -> r.nextInt(100));
System.out.println(longestSharedSequence(a, b));
}
private static int longestSharedSequence(final int[] arr, final int[] arr2) {
int max = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < arr2.length; j++) {
int n = 0;
while ((i + n) < arr.length
&& (j + n) < arr2.length
&& arr[i + n] == arr2[j + n]) {
n++;
}
max = Math.max(max, n);
}
}
return max;
}
}

Merry Christmas and hope you are in great Spirits,I have a Question in Java-Arrays as shown below.Im stuck up with this struggling to get it rite.
Consider the leftmost and righmost appearances of some value in an array. We'll say that the "span" is the number of elements between the two inclusive. A single value has a span of 1. Write a **Java Function** that returns the largest span found in the given array.
**Example:
maxSpan({1, 2, 1, 1, 3}) → 4,answer is 4 coz MaxSpan between 1 to 1 is 4
maxSpan({1, 4, 2, 1, 4, 1, 4}) → 6,answer is 6 coz MaxSpan between 4 to 4 is 6
maxSpan({1, 4, 2, 1, 4, 4, 4}) → 6,answer is 6 coz Maxspan between 4 to 4 is 6 which is greater than MaxSpan between 1 and 1 which is 4,Hence 6>4 answer is 6.
I have the code which is not working,it includes all the Spans for a given element,im unable to find the MaxSpan for a given element.
Please help me out.
Results of the above Program are as shown below
Expected This Run
maxSpan({1, 2, 1, 1, 3}) → 4 5 X
maxSpan({1, 4, 2, 1, 4, 1, 4}) → 6 8 X
maxSpan({1, 4, 2, 1, 4, 4, 4}) → 6 9 X
maxSpan({3, 3, 3}) → 3 5 X
maxSpan({3, 9, 3}) → 3 3 OK
maxSpan({3, 9, 9}) → 2 3 X
maxSpan({3, 9}) → 1 1 OK
maxSpan({3, 3}) → 2 3 X
maxSpan({}) → 0 1 X
maxSpan({1}) → 1 1 OK
::Code::
public int maxSpan(int[] nums) {
int count=1;//keep an intial count of maxspan=1
int maxspan=0;//initialize maxspan=0
for(int i=0;i<nums.length;i++){
for(int j=i+1;j<nums.length;j++){
if(nums[i] == nums[j]){
//check to see if "i" index contents == "j" index contents
count++; //increment count
maxspan=count; //make maxspan as your final count
int number = nums[i]; //number=actual number for maxspan
}
}
}
return maxspan+1; //return maxspan
}
Since a solution has been given, here is a more efficient solution which uses one pass.
public static void main(String... args) {
int maxspan = maxspan(3, 3, 3, 2, 1, 4, 3, 5, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1);
System.out.println(maxspan);
}
private static int maxspan(int... ints) {
Map<Integer, Integer> first = new LinkedHashMap<Integer, Integer>(); // use TIntIntHashMap for efficiency.
int maxspan = 0; // max span so far.
for (int i = 0; i < ints.length; i++) {
int num = ints[i];
if (first.containsKey(num)) { // have we seen this number before?
int span = i - first.get(num) + 1; // num has been found so what is the span
if (span > maxspan) maxspan = span; // if the span is greater, update the maximum.
} else {
first.put(num, i); // first occurrence of number num at location i.
}
}
return maxspan;
}
I see the following problems with your attempt:
Your count is completely wrong. You can instead calculate count from i and j: j - i + 1
You're overriding maxcount as soon as you get any span, so you're going to end up with the last span, not the maximum span. Fix it by going maxspan = Math.max(maxspan, count);.
You can remove the line int number = nums[i]; as you never use number.
Remove the +1 in the returnmaxspan+1;` if you follow my tips above.
Initial maxspan should be 1 if there are any values in the array, but 0 if the array is empty.
That should help you get it working. Note that you can do this in a single pass of the array, but that's probably stretching it too far for you. Concentrate on getting your code to work before considering efficiency.
Here is the solution of this problem:
public int maxSpan(int[] nums) {
int maxSpan=0;
int tempSpan=0;
if(nums.length==0){
return 0;
}
for(int i=0;i<nums.length;i++){
for(int j=nums.length-1;j>i;j--){
if(nums[i]==nums[j]){
tempSpan=j-i;
break;
}
}
if(tempSpan>maxSpan){
maxSpan=tempSpan;
}
}
return maxSpan+1;
}
I did it with a List. Easier way to do it.
The only problem is if the Array is too big, maybe it's gonna take a while..
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class StackOverflow {
public static void main(String[] args) {

int result = 0;
Integer key = null;
for(Integer i : listNumbers){
int resultDistance = returnDistance(listNumbers, i);
if (resultDistance > result){
result = resultDistance;
key = i;
}
}
System.out.println("MaxSpan of key " + key + " is: " + result);
}

for (Integer i : listNumbers){
if (i == term && !bolStartPosition){
startPosition = count;
bolStartPosition = true;
continue;
}
if (i == term && bolStartPosition){
endPosition = count;
}
count++;
}
if (endPosition != null){
// because it's inclusive from both sides
result = endPosition - startPosition + 2;
bolResult = true;
}
return (bolResult?result:-1);
}
}
public int maxSpan(int[] nums) {
int b = 0;
if (nums.length > 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
int a = nums[0];
if (nums[i] != a) {
b = nums.length - 1;
} else {
b = nums.length;
}
}
} else {
b = 0;
}
return b;
}
One brute force solution may like this, take one item from the array, and find the first occurance of item from the left most, and calculate the span, and then compare with the previous result.
public int maxSpan(int[] nums) {
int result = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
int item = nums[i];
int span = 0;
for(int j = 0; j<= i; j++) {//find first occurance of item from the left
if(nums[j]==item) {
span = i -j+1;
break;
}
}
if(span>result) {
result = span;
}
}
return result;
}
Here is the solution -
public int maxSpan(int[] nums) {
int span = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
for(int j = i; j < nums.length; j++) {
if(nums[i] == nums[j]) {

int j =nums.length -1;
while(nums[i]!=nums[j])
j--;
// j is at the rightmost posititon of nums[i]
span = Math.max(span,j-i+1);
}
return span;

The above solutions are great, if your goal is to avoid using Arrays.asList and indexOf and LastIndexOf, the code below does the job as lazy as possible, while still being clear and concise.
public int maxSpan(int[] nums) {
if(nums.length < 2){ //weed out length 0 and 1 cases
return nums.length;
}
int maxSpan = 1; //start out as 1
for(int a = 0; a < nums.length; a++){
for(int b = nums.length - 1; b > a; b--){
if(nums[a] == nums[b]){
maxSpan = Math.max(maxSpan, (b + 1 - a));
//A little tricky getting those indices together.
break; //there's no reason to continue,
//at least for this single loop execution inside another loop
}
}
}
return maxSpan; //the maxSpan is here!
}
The Math.max method returns the larger of 2 values, one of them if they are equal.
This is how I did it:
public int maxSpan(int[] nums) {
for (int span=nums.length; span>0; span--) {
for (int i=0; i<nums.length-span+1; i++) {
if (nums[i] == nums[i+span-1]) return span;
}
}
return 0;
}
I am not sure, if I have to use 2 for-loops... or any loop at all?
If not, this version functions without any loop.
At first you check, if the length of the array is > 0. If not, you simply return the length of the array, which will correspond to the correct answer.
If it is longer than 0, you check if the first and last position in the array have the same value.
If yes, you return the length of the array as the maxSpan.
If not, you substract a 1, since the value appears twice in the array.
Done.

Linear solution with a Map storing the first occurrence, and calculating the distance from it for the next occurrences:
public int maxSpan(int[] nums) {
int span = 0;
Map<Integer, Integer> first = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
if (!first.containsKey(nums[i]))
first.put(nums[i], i);
span = Math.max(span, (i - first.get(nums[i])) + 1);
}
return span;
