Q1. Given a string ‘s’ containing just the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']',
determine if the input string is valid. Assume that the string can contain
parentheses only i.e., only '()[]{}' characters are allowed; and the maximum
length of string can be, say, 20 characters.
An input string is valid if:
1. Open brackets must be closed by the same type of brackets. 2.
Open brackets must be closed in the correct order.
3. Every close bracket has a corresponding open bracket of the same
type.
Example 1: Example 2: Example 3:
Input: s = "()" Input: s = "()[]{}" Input: s = “((]”
Output: true Output: true Output: false
Q2. Given an array of numbers, input one number from this array and find
if it’s next-greater-element exists to the right of this value in the array. If
yes, give the position, else print “Not found”. Use stacks to perform this
operation.
Example 1:
Input: arr[] = {1,4,2,5,0,6,7}
Input: element= 4
Output: 2 (element 5 is the first next-greater-element which exists to
the right of the given element in the array, and it is 2 positions far from
4).
Example 2:
Input: arr[] = {1,4,2,5,0,6,7}
Input: element= 2
Output: 1 (element 5 is the first next-greater-element which exists to the
right of the given element in the array, and it is 1 position far from 2).
Example 3:
Input: arr[] = {10,4,2,5,0,6,7}
Input: element= 7
Output: “Not found” (There are no element to the right of 7 in this
array)
Example 4:
Input: arr[] = {10,6,7,2,5,1,0,4}
Input: element= 7
Output: “Not found” (There are elements to the right of 7, but none of
them are greater than 7).
Q3. Modify the above question to allow for circular search.
Example 1:
Input: arr[] = {1,4,2,5,0,6,7}
Input: element= 4
Output: 2 (element 5 is the first next-greater-element which exists to the right
of the given element in the array, and it is 2 positions far from 4).
Example 2:
Input: arr[] = {1,4,2,5,0,6,7}
Input: element= 2
Output: 1 (element 5 is the first next-greater-element which exists to the
right of the given element in the array, and it is 1 position far from 2).
Example 3:
Input: arr[] = {10,4,2,5,0,6,7}
Input: element= 7
Output: 1 (Since you are allowing circular search, once the array
reaches the end, start from the beginning. There now exists 10 which is
greater than 7 and it can be said to travel 1 hop after 7).
Example 4:
Input: arr[] = {10,6,7,2,5,1,0,4}
Input: element= 7
Output: 6 (Since you are allowing circular search, once the array
reaches the end, start from the beginning. There now exists the value
10 which is greater than 7 and it can be said to travel 6 hops to reach
the position where currently 10 resides).
Q4. You are given a string ‘s’, find the first non-repeating character (a
character that occurs only once) in it and return its index (position). If it does
not exist, return -1. Implement using concepts of queues.
Example 1:
Input: s = "thisisDSlab"
Output: Character: t
Index: 0
Example 2:
Input: s = "CodeForDSlabClass"
Output: Character: d
(Assumption - ‘d’ and ‘D’ are considered as different characters)
Index: 2
Example 3:
Input: s = "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog"
Output: Character: None
Index: -1
Q5. Write a program to convert a number from decimal notation to a
number expressed in a number system whose base (or radix) is a number
between 2 and 9. The conversion is performed by repetitious division by the base
to which a number is being converted and then taking the remainders of division
in the reverse order.
For example, in converting to binary, number 6 requires three such
divisions: 6/2 = 3 remainder 0,
3/2 = 1 remainder 1, and
finally, 1/2 = 0 remainder 1.
The remainders 0, 1, and 1 are put in the reverse order so that binary
equivalent of 6 is equal to 110.
Use stacks/queues to implement the conversion of integer of base 10 to
binary
Q6. Write a program to convert (a) given postfix to prefix (b) given prefix to
postfix (c) given infix to postfix and further evaluate it to obtain the
computed value. Example input: (4 + 9 * 6) - ((8 – 6) / 2 * 4) * 9 / 3
Q7. Write a program to check for balancing symbols (parentheses
forms) in the following languages: (), [], {}
[Link] a program to compress a given text by removing whitespaces and
replacing continuously repeated character by character followed by no. of
time, it is repeated. Use queue data structure.
Example:
Input: asdddfghjdffkj
Output: asd3fghjdf2kj
Q9. Write the definition of the function ‘moveNthFront’ that takes as a
parameter a positive integer, n. The function moves the nth element of the
queue to the front. The order of the remaining elements remains
unchanged.
example
Input queue = {5, 11, 34, 67, 43, 55} and n =3.
After a call to the function moveNthFront,
Output queue = {34, 5, 11, 67, 43, 55}.
Q10. Write a program that reads a line of text, changes each uppercase
letter to lowercase, and places each letter both in a queue and onto a
stack. The program should then verify whether the line of text is a
palindrome (a set of letters or numbers that is the same whether read
forward or backward).
Q11. A string of characters is given. A scientist is interested in a very typical
pattern. He wishes to reverse all the characters which lies inside 2 substrings
namely S1, and S2. S1 is the string of any length but starts from X and ends with
Y. S2, starts from Y and ends with X.
Example:
Input: “ABXNNYPEROYABCDCXT
Output: OREP.
Write a program to solve this problem
