Given an array of numbers which contains all even numbers except one, or all add numbers except one. How do you find the different number? For example consider the array [1, 2, 3, 5, 9], 2 is the different number. Similarly in the array [10, 6, 7, 24, 36], 7 is the different number. This…
Problem: Given a set of coordinates in a two dimensional plane, How do we find the area of a minimum square which includes all the points. The points can exist on the border also. For example consider two points (0,0), (1,2) we need a minimum 2*2 square to cover these points. Hence the area is…
This is a problem from Codeforces. Please follow this link to solve this problem on your own. The abridged problem statement is as follows. You are given an list of numbers, and sub-list size as input. The challenge is to find a sub-list such that the difference between the maximum and minimum numbers in that…
