Hackerland Radio Transmitters
Problem Statement :
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 on top of an existing house. Function Description Complete the hackerlandRadioTransmitters function in the editor below. hackerlandRadioTransmitters has the following parameter(s): int x[n]: the locations of houses int k: the effective range of a transmitter Returns int: the minimum number of transmitters to install Input Format The first line contains two space-separated integers n and k, the number of houses in Hackerland and the range of each transmitter. The second line contains n space-separated integers describing the respective locations of each house x[i] . Output Format Print a single integer denoting the minimum number of transmitters needed to cover all of the houses.

Insert a Node at the head of a Linked List
Given a pointer to the head of a linked list, insert a new node before the head. The next value in the new node should point to head and the data value should be replaced with a given value. Return a reference to the new head of the list. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is empty.

You’re given the pointer to the head nodes of two linked lists. Compare the data in the nodes of the linked lists to check if they are equal. If all data attributes are equal and the lists are the same length, return 1. Otherwise, return 0. Example: list1=1->2->3->Null list2=1->2->3->4->Null The two lists have equal data attributes for the first 3 nodes. list2 is longer, though, so the lis
