Chief Hopper
Problem Statement :
Chief's bot is playing an old DOS based game. There is a row of buildings of different heights arranged at each index along a number line. The bot starts at building and at a height of . You must determine the minimum energy his bot needs at the start so that he can jump to the top of each building without his energy going below zero. Units of height relate directly to units of energy. The bot's energy level is calculated as follows: If the bot's is less than the height of the building, his If the bot's is greater than the height of the building, his Function Description Complete the chiefHopper function in the editor below. chiefHopper has the following parameter(s): int arr[n]: building heights Returns int: the minimum starting Input Format The first line contains an integer , the number of buildings. The next line contains space-separated integers , the heights of the buildings.

Find the Running Median
The median of a set of integers is the midpoint value of the data set for which an equal number of integers are less than and greater than the value. To find the median, you must first sort your set of integers in non-decreasing order, then: If your set contains an odd number of elements, the median is the middle element of the sorted sample. In the sorted set { 1, 2, 3 } , 2 is the median.

Tieu owns a pizza restaurant and he manages it in his own way. While in a normal restaurant, a customer is served by following the first-come, first-served rule, Tieu simply minimizes the average waiting time of his customers. So he gets to decide who is served first, regardless of how sooner or later a person comes. Different kinds of pizzas take different amounts of time to cook. Also, once h
