Insertion Sort Advanced Analysis
Insertion Sort is a simple sorting technique which was covered in previous challenges. Sometimes, arrays may be too large for us to wait around for insertion sort to finish. Is there some other way we can calculate the number of shifts an insertion sort performs when sorting an array? Function description Complete the insertionSort function in the editor below. insertionSort has the following parameter(s): int arr[n]: an array of integers Returns - int: the number of shifts requi
View Solution →Fraudulent Activity Notifications
HackerLand National Bank has a simple policy for warning clients about possible fraudulent account activity. If the amount spent by a client on a particular day is greater than or equal to 2 x the client's median spending for a trailing number of days, they send the client a notification about potential fraud. The bank doesn't send the client any notifications until they have at least that trailing number of prior days' transaction data. Given the number of trailing days d and a client's tota

Whenever George asks Lily to hang out, she's busy doing homework. George wants to help her finish it faster, but he's in over his head! Can you help George understand Lily's homework so she can hang out with him? Consider an array of distinct integers, . George can swap any two elements of the array any number of times. An array is beautiful if the sum of among is minimal. Given the array , determine and return the minimum number of swaps that should be performed in order to make the ar
View Solution →Hackerland Radio Transmitters
Hackerland is a one-dimensional city with houses aligned at integral locations along a road. The Mayor wants to install radio transmitters on the roofs of the city's houses. Each transmitter has a fixed range meaning it can transmit a signal to all houses within that number of units distance away. Given a map of Hackerland and the transmission range, determine the minimum number of transmitters so that every house is within range of at least one transmitter. Each transmitter must be installed

The city of Gridland is represented as an n x m matrix where the rows are numbered from 1 to n and the columns are numbered from 1 to m. Gridland has a network of train tracks that always run in straight horizontal lines along a row. In other words, the start and end points of a train track are and , where represents the row number, represents the starting column, and represents the ending column of the train track. The mayor of Gridland is surveying the city to determine the number of
