Red John is Back
Problem Statement :
Red John has committed another murder. This time, he doesn't leave a red smiley behind. Instead he leaves a puzzle for Patrick Jane to solve. He also texts Teresa Lisbon that if Patrick is successful, he will turn himself in. The puzzle begins as follows. There is a wall of size 4xn in the victim's house. The victim has an infinite supply of bricks of size 4x1 and 1x4 in her house. There is a hidden safe which can only be opened by a particular configuration of bricks. First we must calculate the total number of ways in which the bricks can be arranged so that the entire wall is covered. The following diagram shows how bricks might be arranged to cover walls where 1 <= n <= 4: image There is one more step to the puzzle. Call the number of possible arrangements M. Patrick must calculate the number of prime numbers P in the inclusive range 0-M. As an example, assume n=3. From the diagram above, we determine that there is only one configuration that will cover the wall properly. 1 is not a prime number, so P=0. A more complex example is n = 5. The bricks can be oriented in total configurations that cover the wall. The two primes 2 and 3 are less than or equal to 3, so P =2. image Function Description Complete the redJohn function in the editor below. It should return the number of primes determined, as an integer. redJohn has the following parameter(s): n: an integer that denotes the length of the wall Input Format The first line contains the integer t, the number of test cases. Each of the next t lines contains an integer n, the length of the 4*n wall. Constraints 1 <= t <= 20 1 <= n <= 40 Output Format Print the integer P on a separate line for each test case.

You are given Q queries. Each query consists of a single number N. You can perform any of the 2 operations N on in each move: 1: If we take 2 integers a and b where , N = a * b , then we can change N = max( a, b ) 2: Decrease the value of N by 1. Determine the minimum number of moves required to reduce the value of N to 0. Input Format The first line contains the integer Q.

View Solution →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.
