Algo++

Lecture-03
ALGO++
• Binary Search
• Arrays & Strings

Prateek Narang
Miscs Problem
 Iterativelyfind subsequences of strings
 Subtrings of a string.
 Find no of set bits in number N.

ALGO++ 2
Misc Problem
 Maximum Subarray Sum

A[] = { 1,-2,3,4,6,-5,8,1,-4, 2} ;

Find a subarray whose sum is maximum.

ALGO++ 3
Binary Search
 Square Root of a number

ALGO++ 4
Binary Search
 Assign Min Pages

Pages[] = {10,20,30,40}
Students = K

ALGO++ 5
Binary Search
 Finding Pivot in sorted rotated array

ALGO++ 6
Time to think ?
 Search an element in sorted & rotated array

ALGO++ 7
Miscellaneous Problem
 Wave Sort
(Popular Interview Question)

ALGO++ 8
Character Array Basics
 char str[100];
 char str[4] = { ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’};
 char str[] = {‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’};
 char str[] = “Welcome”;
 char str[8] = “Welcome”;

ALGO++ 9
Strings
 In C/C++ we use a character array to
simulate strings.
 By convention, a string is a sequence of
characters followed by a null character.
 Null characters is a special character whose
ascii value is 0 and its representation is ‘\0’
 In the previous slide example 4 and 5 are
valid strings

ALGO++ 10
String Class in STL
 Important Functions
String() Constructor
Length()
[ ] Operator

More functions at -
[Link]

ALGO++ 11
Array of strings !
 We simulated a string by a 1-D character
array.
 Similarly we can simulate a list of strings by 2-
D character array.
 char stringlist[10][100];
 Above can store max 10 strings each of
maxlength 100.
 And each string can be accessed by
strlinglist[i].

ALGO++
Input and Output

 cin
 [Link]();
 [Link](array,delim);
 getline(cin,string,delim);

ALGO++ 13
Problems

 Read N strings from a user and print the


largest string.
 Write a function to check if two strings are
permutations of each other.
 Write a program to print all substrings of a
given string

ALGO++ 14
Time to try ?

 Sort an array of Strings based on –


- Lexicographically
- Based upon Length

Solve the above questions using STL also.

Bonus : Try STRING SORT on hacker-blocks.

ALGO++ 15
2D Arrays
 int array1[2][3];
 int array2[2][3] = {{1,2,3}, {4,5,6}};
 Int array[][4] = {{1,2,3,4}, {4,5,6,7}, {8,9,10}};

 char array3[3][2] = {{‘A’,’B’}, {‘C’,’D’},


{‘E’,’F’}};

 char array4[][4] = {“abc”, “def”, “efg”,


“hig”};

ALGO++ 16
Problems
 Rotate a n X n Image by 90 degrees CW
 Spiral Print

ALGO++ 17
Know about - strtok() function
 Implementa strtok function
( [Link]/resources)

char * strtok ( char * str, char delimiter );

ALGO++ 18
19

Today’s CodeByte-1
 Writea program to create a matrix of
alternate rectangles of O and X
For N = 5;
OOOOO
OXXXO
OXOXO
OXXXO
OOOOO
