Attempt any 2 problems from given SET:

SET - 1:

1> Given an array arr[] and an integer K where K is smaller than size of array, the
task is to find the Kth smallest element in the given array. It is given that all
array elements are distinct.

Note :- l and r denotes the starting and ending index of the array.

Example 1:

Input: N = 6
arr[] = 7 10 4 3 20 15
K = 3
Output : 7
Explanation : 3rd smallest element in the given array is 7.

Example 2:

Input: N = 5
arr[] = 7 10 4 20 15
K = 4
Output : 15
Explanation : 4th smallest element in the given array is 15.

2> Given two strings A and B consisting of lowercase english characters. Find the
characters that are not common in the two strings.

Note :- Return the string in sorted order.

Example 1:

Input: A = geeksforgeeks
B = geeksquiz
Output: fioqruz
Explanation: The characters 'f', 'i', 'o', 'q', 'r', 'u','z' are either present in
A or B, but not in both.

Example 2:

Input: A = characters
B = alphabets
Output: bclpr
Explanation: The characters 'b','c','l','p','r' are either present in A or B, but
not in both.

3> Given a string Str. The task is to check if it is Pangram or not.

Note: A pangram is a sentence containing every letter in the English Alphabet.

Examples:

Input: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”
Output: Pangram
Explanation: Contains all the characters from ‘a’ to ‘z’]

Input: “The quick brown fox jumps over the dog”


Output: Not a Pangram
Explanation: Doesn’t contain all the characters from ‘a’ to ‘z’, as ‘l’, ‘z’, ‘y’
are missing

SET - 2:

1> Given an array of N integers, and an integer K, find the number of pairs of
elements in the array whose sum is equal to K.

Example 1:

Input: N = 4, K = 6
arr[] = {1, 5, 7, 1}
Output: 2
Explanation: arr[0] + arr[1] = 1 + 5 = 6 and arr[1] + arr[3] = 5 + 1 = 6.

Example 2:

Input: N = 4, K = 2
arr[] = {1, 1, 1, 1}
Output: 6
Explanation: Each 1 will produce sum 2 with any 1.

2> Given a String. Reverse each word in it where the words are separated by dots.

Example 1:

Input: S = "i.like.this.program.very.much"
Output: i.ekil.siht.margorp.yrev.hcum
Explanation: The words are reversed as follows:"i" -> "i", "like"->"ekil", "this"-
>"siht", "program" -> "margorp", "very" -> "yrev","much" -> "hcum".

Example 2:

Input: S = "pqr.mno"
Output: rqp.onm
Explanation: The words are reversed as follows:"pqr" -> "rqp" , "mno" -> "onm"

3> Given a number to find the first and last digit of a number.
Examples:

Input : 12345
Output : First digit: 1
last digit : 5

Input : 98562
Output : First digit: 9
last digit : 2
SET - 3:

1> Given an array of N positive integers where all numbers occur even number of
times except one number which occurs odd number of times. Find the exceptional
number.

Example 1:

Input: N = 7
Arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3}
Output: 3
Explaination: 3 occurs three times.

Example 2:

Input: N = 7
Arr[] = {5, 7, 2, 7, 5, 2, 5}
Output: 5
Explaination: 5 occurs three times.

2> Given an array A of N elements. Find the majority element in the array. A
majority element in an array A of size N is an element that appears strictly more
than N/2 times in the array.

Example 1:

Input: N = 3
A[] = {1,2,3}
Output: -1
Explanation: Since, each element in {1,2,3} appears only once so there is no
majority element.

Example 2:

Input: N = 5
A[] = {3,1,3,3,2}
Output: 3
Explanation: Since, 3 is present more than N/2 times, so it is the majority
element.

3> Given a String S, reverse the string without reversing its individual words.
Words are separated by space.

Example:
Input:
S = "i like this program very much"
Output: "much very program this like i"
Explanation: After reversing the whole string(not individual words), the input
string becomes : "much very program this like i"

SET - 4:
1> Your task is to implement the function atoi. The function takes a string(str)
as argument and converts it to an integer and returns it.

Note:
a. You are not allowed to use inbuilt function.
b. Numerical strings are the string where either every character is in between
0-9 or where the first character is '-' and the rest all characters are in between
0-9.

Example 1:

Input:
str = 123
Output: 123
Example 2:

Input:
str = 21a
Output: -1
Explanation: Output is -1 as all
characters are not digit only.

2> Given a string, write a function to compress it by shortening every sequence of


the same character to that character followed by the number of repetitions. If the
compressed string is longer than the original, you should return the original
string.

Examples:

Input: "aaabbb"
output: "a3b3"

Input: "aaabccc"
output: "a3b1c3"

Input: "a"
ouput: "a"
Explanation: By compressing 'a' followed by number of repetitions it will give
"a1" which is larger than the original string, So output will be original string
"a".

3> Given a String. Reverse each word in it where the words are separated by dots.

Example 1:

Input: S = "i.like.this.program.very.much"
Output: i.ekil.siht.margorp.yrev.hcum
Explanation: The words are reversed as follows:"i" -> "i", "like"->"ekil", "this"-
>"siht", "program" -> "margorp", "very" -> "yrev","much" -> "hcum".

Example 2:

Input: S = "pqr.mno"
Output: rqp.onm
Explanation: The words are reversed as follows:"pqr" -> "rqp" , "mno" -> "onm"
SET - 5:

1> Given a string s consisting of words and spaces, return the length of the last
word in the string.

Note: A word is a maximal substring consisting of non-space characters only.

Example 1:

Input: s = "Hello World"


Output: 5
Explanation: The last word is "World" with length 5.

Example 2:

Input: s = " fly me to the moon "


Output: 4
Explanation: The last word is "moon" with length 4.

Example 3:

Input: s = "luffy is still joyboy"


Output: 6
Explanation: The last word is "joyboy" with length 6.

2> Given an array, print the Next Greater Element (NGE) for every element. The Next
greater Element for an element x is the first greater element on the right side of
x in the array. Elements for which no greater element exist, consider the next
greater element as -1.

Input: arr[] = [ 4 , 5 , 2 , 25 ]
Output: [5,25,25,-1]

Explanation: except 25 every element has an element greater than them present on
the right side

Input: arr[] = [ 13 , 7, 6 , 12 ]
Output: [-1,12,12,-1]

Explanation: 13 and 12 don’t have any element greater than them present on the
right side

3> Given two strings A and B consisting of lowercase english characters. Find the
characters that are not common in the two strings.

Note :- Return the string in sorted order.

Example 1:

Input: A = geeksforgeeks
B = geeksquiz
Output: fioqruz
Explanation: The characters 'f', 'i', 'o', 'q', 'r', 'u','z' are either present in
A or B, but not in both.

Example 2:

Input: A = characters
B = alphabets
Output: bclpr
Explanation: The characters 'b','c','l','p','r' are either present in A or B, but
not in both.
