The stock span problem is a financial problem where we have a series of n daily price quotes for a stock and we need to calculate the span of stock’s price for all n days. The span Si of the stock’s price on a given day i is defined as the maximum number of consecutive days just before the given day(including), for which the price of the stock on the current day is less than or equal to its price on the given day. For example, if an array of 7 days prices is given as {100, 80, 60, 70, 60, 75, 85}, then the span values for corresponding 7 days are {1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 4, 6}. Explanation to the given example: On 0th day only the current day where we find that stock price is less than or equal to it so for 1 consecutive day(current day) this happens. On 1st day only the current day where we find that stock price is less than or equal to it so for 1 consecutive day(current day) this happens. On 2nd day only the current day where we find that stock price is less than or equal ...

Let's say two players (p1, p2) are playing a game, in which they have two piles of stones N1 and N2. They take a turns by picking any even positive number of piles and keep half of them on other piles and throw another half. Whoever can not make a move loses. p1 makes the first move. Consider that both players will play optimized.  (Level: Hard) INPUT: N1 = 3 and N2 = 6 OUTPUT: p1 wins just (just print--> p1) EXPLANATION:  3 6 --- This is the case 4 4 --- move made by p1 2 5 --- move made by p2 3 3 --- move made by p1 1 4 --- move made by p2 2 2 --- move made by p1 1 3 --- move made by p2 2 1 --- move made by p1 0 2 --- move made by p2 1 0 --- move made by p1 Now as you can see, there is nothing to move (for p2) so that p1 win 's the game.

Given an array and K, your task is to find four elements in an array such that their sum is equal to K. You have to print all four elements in lexicographical order and make sure that no pair get repeated. (Level: Hard) For Example:  N = 9 and array = [3, 6, 8, 2, 3, 9, 5, 1, 7] and K = 18 so, one pair is 1+3+5+9 = 18 you have to find all pairs A SOLUTION IN C++: You can optimize it further!

Given a linked list and an Integer K, your task is to find the Kth last node of the linked list. Input : 1->2->3->4->Null and K = 2 Output : 3 1. Native approach To solve this problem first we have to find a length of the linked list and then subtract K from it so you'll get K'th node from the front of the list, and then traverse again up to K. but wait! is this approach is efficient of course not, it takes O(N+(N-K)). 2. Two pointer approach First, take two pointers fast and slow, and move the fast pointer forward up to the first K node. Then again move forward (fast pointer) with a slow pointer so, when the fast pointer reaches to null, slow pointer reaches to Kth node from last. Let's see this in action (Implementation in Java).

You have given a sequence of some elements p1, p2, p3, ..... pn, which is the permutation of {1,2,3.....n}. Rules: You can perform at most one swapping. Your task is to determine whether sequence can be represented in a sorted format or not.
