Problem statement Given a matrix in which each row and each column is sorted, write a method to find an element in it. Solution Assumptions: 1. Rows are sorted left to right in ascending order. Columns are sorted top to bottom in ascending order. 2. Matrix is of size . . . . Read more
Problem Statement Given an infinite number of quarters (25 cents), dimes (10 cents), nickels (5 cents) and pennies (1 cent), write code to calculate the number of ways of representing n cents Solution This is a recursive problem, so let’s figure out how to do makeChange(n) using prior solutions (i . . .

Problem Statement Given a sorted (increasing order) array, write an algorithm to create a binary tree with minimal height. Solution We will try to create a binary tree such that for each node, the number of nodes in the left subtree and the right subtree are equal, if possible Algorithm: . . . Read more
