I have this program where the number of elements of the array "n" is entered and then the target is entered "d",
Then I want to add two numbers from the matrix and the addition is equal to target "d",
Then I want to return an array of Indexes of these two numbers
Example:
Input: nums = [2,7,11,15], target = 9
Output: [0,1]
Output: Because nums[0] + nums[1] == 9, we return [0, 1].
I wrote this program, but I could not return the Indexes,
How can I solve the problem?
public int[] twoSum(int[] nums, int target) {
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length - 1; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < nums.length; j++) {
if (nums[i] + nums[j] == target) {
System.out.println("This the number that we want it" + "\n" + i + "\n" + j);
}
}
}
return nums;
}
public int[] twoSum(int[] nums, int target) {
int[] result = new int[2];
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length - 1; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < nums.length; j++) {
if (nums[i] + nums[j] == target) {
res[0] = i;
res[1] = j;
System.out.println("This the number that we want it" + "\n" + i + "\n" + j);
}
}
}
return res;
}
You need to create a new array of size 2 and return that.
If you are happy with O(n^2) complexity, you don't need to read ahead. But here is a solution with O(n) time complexity:
public int[] twoSum(int[] numbers, int target) {
Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; map.put(numbers[i], ++i)) {
if (map.containsKey(target - numbers[i])) {
return new int[] {map.get(target - numbers[i]), i + 1};
}
}
return new int[]{0,0};
}
Look at this solutions!
Time complexity O(n^2), space complexity O(1)
public static int[] foo(int[] arr, int d) {
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++)
for (int j = i + 1; j < arr.length; j++)
if (arr[i] + arr[j] == d)
return new int[] { i, j };
return new int[] {-1, -1};
}
Time complexity O(n), space complexity O(n)
public static int[] foo(int[] arr, int d) {
Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (map.containsKey(d - arr[i]))
return new int[] { map.get(d - arr[i]), i };
map.put(arr[i], i);
}
return new int[] {-1, -1};
}
I'm supposed to write a program that reads an array of ints and outputs the number of "triples" in the array.
A "triple" is three consecutive ints in increasing order differing by 1 (i.e. 3,4,5 is a triple, but 5,4,3 and 2,4,6 are not).
How do I check for the "triples"?
Current Code:
import java.util.Scanner;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// put your code here
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int size = scanner.nextInt();
int[] array = new int[size];
int iterator = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++){
array[i] = scanner.nextInt();
} for(int j =0; j < size; j++){
iterator++;
}
}
}
The following code loops through the entire array of integers. Inside of the loop it is checked if the third integer exists inside of the array ((i + 2) < array.Length) and the other 2 conditions are all about whether value1 is the same as the value2 decreased by 1 (array[i] == array[i + 1] - 1 and array[i + 1] == array[i + 2] - 1):
for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
{
if((i + 2) < array.Length && array[i] == array[i + 1] - 1 && array[i + 1] == array[i + 2] - 1)
System.out.println("Three values at indexes" + i + " " + (i + 1) + " and " + (i + 2) + " are a triple");
}
The code below is C# and sadly not compatible to Java that easily, I'll just leave that here for anyone who wants to know how its handled in C# (the vt variable is a so called ValueTriple):
(int, int, int) vt;
for (var i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
{
if (i + 2 >= array.Length) continue;
vt = (array[i], array[i + 1], array[i + 2]);
if (vt.Item1 == vt.Item2 - 1 && vt.Item2 == vt.Item3 - 1)
Console.WriteLine($"Three values at indexes {i}, {i + 1} and {i + 2} (Values: {array[i]}, {array[i + 1]}, {array[i + 2]}) are a triple");
}
You may try following code
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Triplet {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// put your code here
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int size = scanner.nextInt();
int[] array = new int[size];
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++){
array[i] = scanner.nextInt();
}
Integer counter = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < size-2; i++) {
if(array[i] == array[i+1] - 1 && array[i] == array[i+2] - 2) { //checking if three consecutive ints in increasing order differing by 1
counter++;
}
}
System.out.println(counter);
}
}
Hope this will help.
A method to find out the number of triplets could look like this. You then just have to call the method depending how your input is obtained and you wish to present the result.
public static int getNumberOfTriplets(int[] toBeChecked) {
int numberOfTriplets = 0;
int nextIndex = 0;
while (nextIndex < toBeChecked.length - 2) {
int first = toBeChecked[nextIndex];
int second = toBeChecked[nextIndex + 1];
int third = toBeChecked[nextIndex + 2];
if ((first + 1 == second) && (second + 1 == third)) {
numberOfTriplets++;
}
nextIndex++;
}
return numberOfTriplets;
}
Regardless of allowing the numbers to be in more than one triplet, the answer is fairly similar in how I would personally approach it:
//determines if the input sequence is consecutive
public boolean isConsecutive(int... values) {
return IntStream.range(1, values.length)
.allMatch(i -> values[i] == values[i - 1] + 1);
}
public int countTriples(int[] input, boolean uniques) {
if (input.length < 3) {
return 0;
}
int back = 0;
for(int i = 2; i < input.length; i++) {
if (isConsecutive(input[i - 2], input[i - 1], input [i]) {
back++;
if (uniques) { //whether to disallow overlapping numbers
i += 2; //triple found, ignore the used numbers if needed
}
}
}
return back;
}
Then in calling it:
Int[] input = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8};
countTriples(input, true); //3
countTriples(input, false); //2
I am struggling with creating a method that loops through an array, finds the longest streak of values, and prints the starting index of that run of values. Any help would be appreciated. I specifically will be searching through an array of Boolean values, and I will be needing to find the longest streak of "true" values. Thanks!
Iterate through the array and memorize what your state is. Then keep a counter and memorize how long your longest sequence is. If you have a longer sequence than the longest previously seen update the index.
public static void main(String[] args) {
boolean[] array = {true,false,false,true,true,true,true};
int ix = 0;
boolean condition = true;
int longest = 0;
int cnt = 0;
for (int i=0;i<array.length;i++){
if (condition!=array[i]){
if (cnt > longest) {
ix = i-cnt;
longest = cnt;
}
condition = array[i];
cnt = 0;
}
cnt++;
}
if (cnt > longest) {
ix = array.length-cnt;
}
System.out.println(ix);
}
public static int getLongestStreakIndex(boolean[] arr) {
if (arr == null || arr.length == 0)
return -1;
int res = 0;
for (int i = 1, j = 0, len = 1; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (i == arr.length - 1) {
if (i - j + 1 > len)
res = j;
} else if (arr[i] != arr[i - 1] && i - j > len) {
res = j;
len = i - j;
j = i;
}
}
return res;
}
The following code counts inversions in an array nums (pairs i,j such that j>i && nums[i] > nums[j]) by merge sort.
Is it possible to use the same approach to count the number of special inversions like j>i && nums[i] > 2*nums[j]?
How should I modify this code?
public static void main (String args[])
{
int[] nums = {9, 16, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
System.out.println("Strong Inversions: " + countInv(nums));
}
public static int countInv(int nums[])
{
int mid = nums.length/2;
int countL, countR, countMerge;
if(nums.length <= 1)
{
return 0;
}
int left[] = new int[mid];
int right[] = new int[nums.length - mid];
for(int i = 0; i < mid; i++)
{
left[i] = nums[i];
}
for(int i = 0; i < nums.length - mid; i++)
{
right[i] = nums[mid+i];
}
countL = countInv (left);
countR = countInv (right);
int mergedResult[] = new int[nums.length];
countMerge = mergeCount (left, right, mergedResult);
for(int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++)
{
nums[i] = mergedResult[i];
}
return (countL + countR + countMerge);
}
public static int mergeCount (int left[], int right[], int merged[])
{
int a = 0, b = 0, counter = 0, index=0;
while ( ( a < left.length) && (b < right.length) )
{
if(left[a] <= right[b])
{
merged [index] = left[a++];
}
else
{
merged [index] = right[b++];
counter += left.length - a;
}
index++;
}
if(a == left.length)
{
for (int i = b; i < right.length; i++)
{
merged [index++] = right[i];
}
}
else
{
for (int i = a; i < left.length; i++)
{
merged [index++] = left[i];
}
}
return counter;
}
I tried this
while ((a < left.length) && (b < right.length)) {
if (left[a] <= right[b]) {
merged[index] = left[a++];
} else {
if (left[a] > 2 * right[b]) {
counter += left.length - a;
}
merged[index] = right[b++];
}
index++;
}
but there's a bug in the while loop, when left[a]<2*right[b] but left[a+n] maybe>2*right[b], for instance left array is {9,16} and right array is {5,6}, 9<2*5 but 16>2*5. My code just skip cases like this and the result number is less than it should be
The while loop in mergeCount serves two functions: merge left and right into merged, and count the number of left–right inversions. For special inversions, the easiest thing would be to split the loop into two, counting the inversions first and then merging. The new trigger for counting inversions would be left[a] > 2*right[b].
The reason for having two loops is that counting special inversions needs to merge left with 2*right, and sorting needs to merge left with right. It might be possible to use three different indexes in a single loop, but the logic would be more complicated.
while ( ( a < left.length) && (b < right.length) ) {
if(left[a] <= right[b]) {
merged [index] = left[a++];
} else {
counter += updateCounter(right[b],a,left);
merged [index] = right[b++];
}
index++;
//Rest of the while loop
}
//Rest of the mergeCount function
}
public static int updateCounter(int toSwitch, int index, int[] array) {
while(index < array.length) {
if(array[index] >= 2*toSwitch)
break;
index++;
}
return array.length-index;
}
Not very efficient, but it should do the work. You initialise index with a, because elements lower than a will never will never meet the condition.
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..

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;
}

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.

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;
}
