Intro to Tutorial Challenges
Problem Statement :
About Tutorial Challenges Many of the challenges on HackerRank are difficult and assume that you already know the relevant algorithms. These tutorial challenges are different. They break down algorithmic concepts into smaller challenges so that you can learn the algorithm by solving them. They are intended for those who already know some programming, however. You could be a student majoring in computer science, a self-taught programmer, or an experienced developer who wants an active algorithms review. Here's a great place to learn by doing! The first series of challenges covers sorting. They are listed below: Tutorial Challenges - Sorting Insertion Sort challenges Insertion Sort 1 - Inserting Insertion Sort 2 - Sorting Correctness and loop invariant Running Time of Algorithms Quicksort challenges Quicksort 1 - Partition Quicksort 2 - Sorting Quicksort In-place (advanced) Running time of Quicksort Counting sort challenges Counting Sort 1 - Counting Counting Sort 2 - Simple sort Counting Sort 3 - Preparing Full Counting Sort (advanced) There will also be some challenges where you'll get to apply what you've learned using the completed algorithms. About the Challenges Each challenge will describe a scenario and you will code a solution. As you progress through the challenges, you will learn some important concepts in algorithms. In each challenge, you will receive input on STDIN and you will need to print the correct output to STDOUT. There may be time limits that will force you to make your code efficient. If you receive a "Terminated due to time out" message when you submit your solution, you'll need to reconsider your method. If you want to test your code locally, each test case can be downloaded, inputs and expected results, using hackos. You earn hackos as you solve challenges, and you can spend them on these tests. For many challenges, helper methods (like an array) will be provided for you to process the input into a useful format. You can use these methods to get started with your program, or you can write your own input methods if you want. Your code just needs to print the right output to each test case. Sample Challenge This is a simple challenge to get things started. Given a sorted array () and a number (), can you print the index location of in the array? Example Return for a zero-based index array. If you are going to use the provided code for I/O, this next section is for you. Function Description Complete the introTutorial function in the editor below. It must return an integer representing the zero-based index of . introTutorial has the following parameter(s): int arr[n]: a sorted array of integers int V: an integer to search for Returns int: the index of in The next section describes the input format. You can often skip it, if you are using included methods or code stubs. Input Format The first line contains an integer, , a value to search for. The next line contains an integer, , the size of . The last line contains space-separated integers, each a value of where . The next section describes the constraints and ranges of the input. You should check this section to know the range of the input.

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int V, N;
cin >> V >> N;
int temp = 0;;
for(int i = 0; i < N; i++){
cin >> temp;
if(temp == V){
cout << i << endl;
return 0;

In C :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
int n,size,i,dub,ans;
scanf("%d",&n);
scanf("%d",&size);
for(i=0;i<size;i++)
{scanf("%d",&dub);
if(dub==n)
ans=i;}
printf("%d",ans);
return 0;
}
In Python3 :
val = int(input())
size = int(input())
arr = [int(i) for i in input().split()]
x = 0
for j in arr:
if val == j:
break
x = x+1
print(x)

No Prefix Set
There is a given list of strings where each string contains only lowercase letters from a - j, inclusive. The set of strings is said to be a GOOD SET if no string is a prefix of another string. In this case, print GOOD SET. Otherwise, print BAD SET on the first line followed by the string being checked. Note If two strings are identical, they are prefixes of each other. Function Descriptio

You are given a 3-D Matrix in which each block contains 0 initially. The first block is defined by the coordinate (1,1,1) and the last block is defined by the coordinate (N,N,N). There are two types of queries. UPDATE x y z W updates the value of block (x,y,z) to W. QUERY x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 calculates the sum of the value of blocks whose x coordinate is between x1 and x2 (inclusive), y coor

Enter-View ( EV ) is a linear, street-like country. By linear, we mean all the cities of the country are placed on a single straight line - the x -axis. Thus every city's position can be defined by a single coordinate, xi, the distance from the left borderline of the country. You can treat all cities as single points. Unfortunately, the dictator of telecommunication of EV (Mr. S. Treat Jr.) do

A subsequence of a sequence is a sequence which is obtained by deleting zero or more elements from the sequence. You are given a sequence A in which every element is a pair of integers i.e A = [(a1, w1), (a2, w2),..., (aN, wN)]. For a subseqence B = [(b1, v1), (b2, v2), ...., (bM, vM)] of the given sequence : We call it increasing if for every i (1 <= i < M ) , bi < bi+1. Weight(B) =

A cricket match is going to be held. The field is represented by a 1D plane. A cricketer, Mr. X has N favorite shots. Each shot has a particular range. The range of the ith shot is from Ai to Bi. That means his favorite shot can be anywhere in this range. Each player on the opposite team can field only in a particular range. Player i can field from Ci to Di.
