Functions C++
Problem Statement :
Functions are a bunch of statements glued together. A function is provided with zero or more arguments, and it executes the statements on it. Based on the return type, it either returns nothing (void) or something.
The syntax for a function is
return_type function_name(arg_type_1 arg_1, arg_type_2 arg_2, ...) {
...
...
...
[if return_type is non void]
return something of type `return_type`;
}
For example, a function to return the sum of four parameters can be written as
int sum_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) {
int sum = 0;
sum += a;
sum += b;
sum += c;
sum += d;
return sum;
}
Write a function int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) which returns the maximum of the four arguments it receives.
+= : Add and assignment operator. It adds the right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
a += b is equivalent to a = a + b;
Input Format
Input will contain four integers -a, b, c, d, one per line.
Output Format
Return the greatest of the four integers.
PS: I/O will be automatically handled.
Solution :
Solution in C :
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;
int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d){
return max(max(a, b), max(c,d));
}
int main() {
int a, b, c, d;
scanf("%d %d %d %d", &a, &b, &c, &d);
int ans = max_of_four(a, b, c, d);
printf("%d", ans);
return 0;
}

Get Node Value
This challenge is part of a tutorial track by MyCodeSchool Given a pointer to the head of a linked list and a specific position, determine the data value at that position. Count backwards from the tail node. The tail is at postion 0, its parent is at 1 and so on. Example head refers to 3 -> 2 -> 1 -> 0 -> NULL positionFromTail = 2 Each of the data values matches its distance from the t

This challenge is part of a tutorial track by MyCodeSchool You are given the pointer to the head node of a sorted linked list, where the data in the nodes is in ascending order. Delete nodes and return a sorted list with each distinct value in the original list. The given head pointer may be null indicating that the list is empty. Example head refers to the first node in the list 1 -> 2 -
View Solution →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

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

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
View Solution →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.
