Bipartite Graph - Google Top Interview Questions


Problem Statement :


Given an undirected graph represented as an adjacency list, return whether the graph is bipartite.

Constraints

n, m ≤ 250 where n and m are the number of rows and columns in graph

Example 1

Input

graph = [
    [1],
    [0]
]

Output

True

Explanation

This is bipartite since the node 1 can belong in set A and node 2 can belong in set B. Then the edges 0 -
> 1 and 1 -> 0 has one node in A and one node in B



Example 2

Input

Visualize

graph = [

    [2, 3],

    [2, 3],

    [0, 1],

    [0, 1]

]

Output

True

Explanation

0 and 1 can belong in set A and 2 and 3 can belong in set B.



Example 3

Input




graph = [

    [1, 2, 3],

    [0, 2],

    [0, 1, 3],

    [0, 2]

]

Output

False

Explanation

No matter how the nodes are partitioned, an edge will belong to the same set.

Self Balancing Tree

An AVL tree (Georgy Adelson-Velsky and Landis' tree, named after the inventors) is a self-balancing binary search tree. In an AVL tree, the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one; if at any time they differ by more than one, rebalancing is done to restore this property. We define balance factor for each node as : balanceFactor = height(left subtree) - height(righ

Array and simple queries

Given two numbers N and M. N indicates the number of elements in the array A[](1-indexed) and M indicates number of queries. You need to perform two types of queries on the array A[] . You are given queries. Queries can be of two types, type 1 and type 2. Type 1 queries are represented as 1 i j : Modify the given array by removing elements from i to j and adding them to the front.

Median Updates

The median M of numbers is defined as the middle number after sorting them in order if M is odd. Or it is the average of the middle two numbers if M is even. You start with an empty number list. Then, you can add numbers to the list, or remove existing numbers from it. After each add or remove operation, output the median. Input: The first line is an integer, N , that indicates the number o

Balanced Brackets

A bracket is considered to be any one of the following characters: (, ), {, }, [, or ]. Two brackets are considered to be a matched pair if the an opening bracket (i.e., (, [, or {) occurs to the left of a closing bracket (i.e., ), ], or }) of the exact same type. There are three types of matched pairs of brackets: [], {}, and (). A matching pair of brackets is not balanced if the set of bra

Equal Stacks

ou have three stacks of cylinders where each cylinder has the same diameter, but they may vary in height. You can change the height of a stack by removing and discarding its topmost cylinder any number of times. Find the maximum possible height of the stacks such that all of the stacks are exactly the same height. This means you must remove zero or more cylinders from the top of zero or more of
