Costly Intervals


Problem Statement :


Given an array, your goal is to find, for each element, the largest subarray containing it whose cost is at least k.

Specifically, let A = [A1, A2, . . . , An ]  be an array of length n, and let  be the subarray from index  l to index r. Also,

Let MAX( l, r ) be the largest number in Al. . . r.
Let  MIN( l, r ) be the smallest number in Al . . .r .
Let OR( l , r )  be the bitwise OR of the elements of Al. . .r.
Let AND( l , r ) be the bitwise AND of the elements of Al. . .r.
The cost of Al . . .r , denoted cost( l, r ), is defined as

The size of Al . . .r is defined as r - l +1.
You are given the array  and and an integer . For each index  from  to , your goal is to find the largest size of any subarray  such that  and .

Complete the function costlyIntervals which takes two integers n and k as first line of input, and array  A1, A2, . . . , An in the second line of input. Return an array of n integers, where the ith element contains the answer for index i of the input array, 1 <= i <= n. Every element of the output array denotes the largest size of a subarray containing i whose cost is at least k, or -1 if there is no such subarray.

Cycle Detection

A linked list is said to contain a cycle if any node is visited more than once while traversing the list. Given a pointer to the head of a linked list, determine if it contains a cycle. If it does, return 1. Otherwise, return 0. Example head refers 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> NUL The numbers shown are the node numbers, not their data values. There is no cycle in this list so return 0. head refer

Find Merge Point of Two Lists

This challenge is part of a tutorial track by MyCodeSchool Given pointers to the head nodes of 2 linked lists that merge together at some point, find the node where the two lists merge. The merge point is where both lists point to the same node, i.e. they reference the same memory location. It is guaranteed that the two head nodes will be different, and neither will be NULL. If the lists share

Inserting a Node Into a Sorted Doubly Linked List

Given a reference to the head of a doubly-linked list and an integer ,data , create a new DoublyLinkedListNode object having data value data and insert it at the proper location to maintain the sort. Example head refers to the list 1 <-> 2 <-> 4 - > NULL. data = 3 Return a reference to the new list: 1 <-> 2 <-> 4 - > NULL , Function Description Complete the sortedInsert function

Reverse a doubly linked list

This challenge is part of a tutorial track by MyCodeSchool Given the pointer to the head node of a doubly linked list, reverse the order of the nodes in place. That is, change the next and prev pointers of the nodes so that the direction of the list is reversed. Return a reference to the head node of the reversed list. Note: The head node might be NULL to indicate that the list is empty.
