I want to store integers(in an array or anything) that in range of int "i" and int "j".
eg:-Think, "int i = 1" and "int j = 10".I want to store integers from 1 and 10.
So that (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
Because I want to answer to HackerRank "Beautiful Days at the Movies".

Using Java you can easily stream a range of numbers with IntStream, then map the reverse function for each value, then filter those that fulfils the condition and count. With streams you don't need to store, you can get straight to the answer.
IntUnaryOperator reverse = (opperand) -> {
int reversed = 0;
int num = opperand;
while (num != 0) {
int digit = num % 10;
reversed = reversed * 10 + digit;
num /= 10;
}
return Math.abs(opperand - reversed);
};
return (int) IntStream.rangeClosed(i, j).map(reverse)
.filter(v -> v % k == 0).count();
I want to ask how I can reorder the digits in an Int32 so they result in the biggest possible number.
Here is an example which visualizes what I am trying to do:
2927466 -> 9766422
12492771 -> 97742211
I want to perform the ordering of the digits without using the System.Linq namespace and without converting the integer into a string value.
This is what I got so far:
public static int ReorderInt32Digits(int v)
{
int n = Math.Abs(v);
int l = ((int)Math.Log10(n > 0 ? n : 1)) + 1;
int[] d = new int[l];
for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)
{
d[(l - i) - 1] = n % 10;
n /= 10;
}
if (v < 0)
d[0] *= -1;
Array.Sort(d);
Array.Reverse(d);
int h = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < d.Length; i++)
{
int index = d.Length - i - 1;
h += ((int)Math.Pow(10, index)) * d[i];
}
return h;
}
This algorithm works flawlessly but I think it is not very efficient.
I would like to know if there is a way to do the same thing more efficiently and how I could improve my algorithm.
You can use this code:
var digit = 2927466;
String.Join("", digit.ToString().ToCharArray().OrderBy(x => x));
Or
var res = String.Join("", digit.ToString().ToCharArray().OrderByDescending(x => x) );
Not that my answer may or may not be more "efficient", but when I read your code you calculated how many digits there are in your number so you can determine how large to make your array, and then you calculated how to turn your array back into a sorted integer.
It would seem to me that you would want to write your own code that did the sorting part without using built in functionality, which is what my sample does. Plus, I've added the ability to sort in ascending or descending order, which is easy to add in your code too.
UPDATED
The original algorithm sorted the digits, now it sorts the digits so that the end result is the largest or smallest depending on the second parameter passed in. However, when dealing with a negative number the second parameter is treated as opposite.
using System;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
int number1 = 2927466;
int number2 = 12492771;
int number3 = -39284925;
Console.WriteLine(OrderDigits(number1, false));
Console.WriteLine(OrderDigits(number2, true));
Console.WriteLine(OrderDigits(number3, false));
}
private static int OrderDigits(int number, bool asc)
{
// Extract each digit into an array
int[] digits = new int[(int)Math.Floor(Math.Log10(Math.Abs(number)) + 1)];
for (int i = 0; i < digits.Length; i++)
{
digits[i] = number % 10;
number /= 10;
}
// Order the digits
for (int i = 0; i < digits.Length; i++)
{
for (int j = i + 1; j < digits.Length; j++)
{
if ((!asc && digits[j] > digits[i]) ||
(asc && digits[j] < digits[i]))
{
int temp = digits[i];
digits[i] = digits[j];
digits[j] = temp;
}
}
}
// Turn the array of digits back into an integer
int result = 0;
for (int i = digits.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
result += digits[i] * (int)Math.Pow(10, digits.Length - 1 - i);
}
return result;
}
}
Results:
9766422
11224779
-22345899
See working example here... https://dotnetfiddle.net/RWA4XV
public static int ReorderInt32Digits(int v)
{
var nums = Math.Abs(v).ToString().ToCharArray();
Array.Sort(nums);
bool neg = (v < 0);
if(!neg)
{
Array.Reverse(nums);
}
return int.Parse(new string(nums)) * (neg ? -1 : 1);
}
This code fragment below extracts the digits from variable v. You can modify it to store the digits in an array and sort/reverse.
int v = 2345;
while (v > 0) {
int digit = v % 10;
v = v / 10;
Console.WriteLine(digit);
}
You can use similar logic to reconstruct the number from (sorted) digits: Multiply by 10 and add next digit.
I'm posting this second answer because I think I got the most efficient algorithm of all (thanks for the help Atul) :)
void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine (ReorderInt32Digits2(2927466));
Console.WriteLine (ReorderInt32Digits2(12492771));
Console.WriteLine (ReorderInt32Digits2(-1024));
}
public static int ReorderInt32Digits2(int v)
{
bool neg = (v < 0);
int mult = neg ? -1 : 1;
int result = 0;
var counts = GetDigitCounts(v);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
int idx = neg ? 9 - i : i;
for (int j = 0; j < counts[idx]; j++)
{
result += idx * mult;
mult *= 10;
}
}
return result;
}
// From Atul Sikaria's answer
public static int[] GetDigitCounts(int n)
{
int v = Math.Abs(n);
var result = new int[10];
while (v > 0) {
int digit = v % 10;
v = v / 10;
result[digit]++;
}
return result;
}
I need to "Find the minimal positive integer not occurring in a given sequence. "
A[0] = 1
A[1] = 3
A[2] = 6
A[3] = 4
A[4] = 1
A[5] = 2, the function should return 5.
Assume that:
N is an integer within the range [1..100,000];
each element of array A is an integer within the range [−2,147,483,648..2,147,483,647].
I wrote the code in codility, but for many cases it did not worked and the performance test gives 0 %. Please help me out, where I am wrong.
class Solution {
public int solution(int[] A) {
if(A.Length ==0) return -1;
int value = A[0];
int min = A.Min();
int max = A.Max();
for (int j = min+1; j < max; j++)
{
if (!A.Contains(j))
{
value = j;
if(value > 0)
{
break;
}
}
}
if(value > 0)
{
return value;
}
else return 1;
}
}
The codility gives error with all except the example, positive and negative only values.
Edit: Added detail to answer your actual question more directly.
"Please help me out, where I am wrong."
In terms of correctness: Consider A = {7,2,5,6,3}. The correct output, given the contents of A, is 1, but our algorithm would fail to detect this since A.Min() would return 2 and we would start looping from 3 onward. In this case, we would return 4 instead; since it's the next missing value.
Same goes for something like A = {14,15,13}. The minimal missing positive integer here is again 1 and, since all the values from 13-15 are present, the value variable will retain its initial value of value=A[0] which would be 14.
In terms of performance: Consider what A.Min(), A.Max() and A.Contains() are doing behind the scenes; each one of these is looping through A in its entirety and in the case of Contains, we are calling it repeatedly for every value between the Min() and the lowest positive integer we can find. This will take us far beyond the specified O(N) performance that Codility is looking for.
By contrast, here's the simplest version I can think of that should score 100% on Codility. Notice that we only loop through A once and that we take advantage of a Dictionary which lets us use ContainsKey; a much faster method that does not require looping through the whole collection to find a value.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class Solution {
public int solution(int[] A) {
// the minimum possible answer is 1
int result = 1;
// let's keep track of what we find
Dictionary<int,bool> found = new Dictionary<int,bool>();
// loop through the given array
for(int i=0;i<A.Length;i++) {
// if we have a positive integer that we haven't found before
if(A[i] > 0 && !found.ContainsKey(A[i])) {
// record the fact that we found it
found.Add(A[i], true);
}
}
// crawl through what we found starting at 1
while(found.ContainsKey(result)) {
// look for the next number
result++;
}
// return the smallest positive number that we couldn't find.
return result;
}
}
The simplest solution that scored perfect score was:
public int solution(int[] A)
{
int flag = 1;
A = A.OrderBy(x => x).ToArray();
for (int i = 0; i < A.Length; i++)
{
if (A[i] <= 0)
continue;
else if (A[i] == flag)
{
flag++;
}
}
return flag;
}
Fastest C# solution so far for [-1,000,000...1,000,000].
public int solution(int[] array)
{
HashSet<int> found = new HashSet<int>();
for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
{
if (array[i] > 0)
{
found.Add(array[i]);
}
}
int result = 1;
while (found.Contains(result))
{
result++;
}
return result;
}
A tiny version of another 100% with C#
using System.Linq;
class Solution
{
public int solution(int[] A)
{
// write your code in C# 6.0 with .NET 4.5 (Mono)
var i = 0;
return A.Where(a => a > 0).Distinct().OrderBy(a => a).Any(a => a != (i = i + 1)) ? i : i + 1;
}
}
A simple solution that scored 100% with C#
int Solution(int[] A)
{
var A2 = Enumerable.Range(1, A.Length + 1);
return A2.Except(A).First();
}
public class Solution {
public int solution( int[] A ) {
return Arrays.stream( A )
.filter( n -> n > 0 )
.sorted()
.reduce( 0, ( a, b ) -> ( ( b - a ) > 1 ) ? a : b ) + 1;
}
}
It seemed easiest to just filter out the negative numbers. Then sort the stream. And then reduce it to come to an answer. It's a bit of a functional approach, but it got a 100/100 test score.
Got an 100% score with this solution:
https://app.codility.com/demo/results/trainingUFKJSB-T8P/
public int MissingInteger(int[] A)
{
A = A.Where(a => a > 0).Distinct().OrderBy(c => c).ToArray();
if (A.Length== 0)
{
return 1;
}
for (int i = 0; i < A.Length; i++)
{
//Console.WriteLine(i + "=>" + A[i]);
if (i + 1 != A[i])
{
return i + 1;
}
}
return A.Max() + 1;
}
JavaScript solution using Hash Table with O(n) time complexity.
function solution(A) {
let hashTable = {}
for (let item of A) {
hashTable[item] = true
}
let answer = 1
while(true) {
if(!hashTable[answer]) {
return answer
}
answer++
}
}
The Simplest solution for C# would be:
int value = 1;
int min = A.Min();
int max = A.Max();
if (A.Length == 0) return value = 1;
if (min < 0 && max < 0) return value = 1;
List<int> range = Enumerable.Range(1, max).ToList();
List<int> current = A.ToList();
List<int> valid = range.Except(current).ToList();
if (valid.Count() == 0)
{
max++;
return value = max;
}
else
{
return value = valid.Min();
}
Considering that the array should start from 1 or if it needs to start from the minimum value than the Enumerable.range should start from Min
MissingInteger solution in C
int solution(int A[], int N) {
int i=0,r[N];
memset(r,0,(sizeof(r)));
for(i=0;i<N;i++)
{

}
for(i=0;i<N;i++)
{
if( r[i] != (i+1)) return (i+1);
}
return (N+1);
}
My solution for it:
public static int solution()
{
var A = new[] { -1000000, 1000000 }; // You can try with different integers
A = A.OrderBy(i => i).ToArray(); // We sort the array first
if (A.Length == 1) // if there is only one item in the array
{
if (A[0]<0 || A[0] > 1)
return 1;
if (A[0] == 1)
return 2;
}
else // if there are more than one item in the array
{
for (var i = 0; i < A.Length - 1; i++)
{
if (A[i] >= 1000000) continue; // if it's bigger than 1M
if (A[i] < 0 || (A[i] + 1) >= (A[i + 1])) continue; //if it's smaller than 0, if the next integer is bigger or equal to next integer in the sequence continue searching.
if (1 < A[0]) return 1;
return A[i] + 1;
}
}
if (1 < A[0] || A[A.Length - 1] + 1 == 0 || A[A.Length - 1] + 1 > 1000000)
return 1;
return A[A.Length-1] +1;
}

In C# you can solve the problem by making use of built in library functions. How ever the performance is low for very large integers
public int solution(int[] A)
{
var numbers = Enumerable.Range(1, Math.Abs(A.Max())+1).ToArray();
return numbers.Except(A).ToArray()[0];
}
Let me know if you find a better solution performance wise

Well, this is a new winner now. At least on C# and my laptop. It's 1.5-2 times faster than the previous champion and 3-10 times faster, than most of the other solutions. The feature (or a bug?) of this solution is that it uses only basic data types. Also 100/100 on Codility.

Simple C++ solution. No additional memory need, time execution order O(N*log(N)):

for( auto it = std::begin(A); it != std::end(A); it++ ) {

I think I kinda look at this a bit differently but gets a 100% evaluation. Also, I used no library:
public static int Solution(int[] A)
{
var arrPos = new int[1_000_001];
for (int i = 0; i < A.Length; i++)
{
if (A[i] >= 0)
arrPos[A[i]] = 1;
}
for (int i = 1; i < arrPos.Length; i++)
{
if (arrPos[i] == 0)
return i;
}
return 1;
}
public int solution(int[] A) {
// write your code in Java SE 8
Set<Integer> elements = new TreeSet<Integer>();
long lookFor = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < A.length; i++) {
elements.add(A[i]);
}
for (Integer integer : elements) {
if (integer == lookFor)
lookFor += 1;
}
return (int) lookFor;
}
I tried to use recursion in C# instead of sorting, because I thought it would show more coding skill to do it that way, but on the scaling tests it didn't preform well on large performance tests. Suppose it's best to just do the easy way.
class Solution {
public int lowest=1;
public int solution(int[] A) {
// write your code in C# 6.0 with .NET 4.5 (Mono)
if (A.Length < 1)
return 1;
for (int i=0; i < A.Length; i++){
if (A[i]==lowest){
lowest++;
solution(A);
}
}
return lowest;
}
}
Here is my solution in javascript
function solution(A) {
// write your code in JavaScript (Node.js 8.9.4)
let result = 1;
let haveFound = {}
let len = A.length
for (let i=0;i<len;i++) {
haveFound[`${A[i]}`] = true
}
while(haveFound[`${result}`]) {
result++
}
return result
}
class Solution {
public int solution(int[] A) {
var sortedList = A.Where(x => x > 0).Distinct().OrderBy(x => x).ToArray();
var output = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < sortedList.Length; i++)
{
if (sortedList[i] != output)
{
return output;
}
output++;
}
return output;
}
}
You should just use a HashSet as its look up time is also constant instead of a dictionary. The code is less and cleaner.
public int solution (int [] A){
int answer = 1;
var set = new HashSet<int>(A);
while (set.Contains(answer)){
answer++;
}
return answer;
}

I am trying convert the following Collatz Conjecture algorithm from:
public class CollatzConjexture
{
public static int Calculate(int StartIndex, int MaxSequence)
{
int ChainLength = 0;
int key = 0;
bool ContinuteCalulating = true;
int LongestChain = 0;
Int64 Remainder = 0;
for (int i = StartIndex; i <= MaxSequence; i++)
{
ChainLength = 1;
Remainder = i;
ContinuteCalulating = true;
while (ContinuteCalulating)
{
Remainder = CalculateCollatzConjecture(Remainder);
if (Remainder == 1)
ContinuteCalulating = false;
ChainLength += 1;
}
if (ChainLength > LongestChain)
{
LongestChain = ChainLength;
key = i;
}
}
return key;
}
private static Int64 CalculateCollatzConjecture(Int64 Number)
{
if (Number % 2 == 0)
return Number / 2;
else
return (3 * Number) + 1;
}
}
To instead use the .NET 4.0 Parallel.For :
int ChainLength = 0;
int key = 0;
bool ContinuteCalulating = true;
int LongestChain = 0;
Int64 Remainder = 0;
int[] nums = Enumerable.Range(1, 1500000).ToArray();
long total = 0;
// Use type parameter to make subtotal a long, not an int
Parallel.For<int>(1, nums.Length, () => 1, (j, loop, subtotal) =>
{
Remainder = j;
while (ContinuteCalulating)
{
Remainder = CalculateCollatzConjecture(Remainder);
if (Remainder == 1)
ContinuteCalulating = false;
ChainLength += 1;
}
if (ChainLength > LongestChain)
{
LongestChain = ChainLength;
key = j;
}
return key;
},
(x) => Interlocked.Add(ref key, x)
);
I have a feeling I'm not too far from it, famous last words.
Thanks in advance.
Your problem is that you don't want to use Parallel.For in this instance because you already have an array (nums) to iterate over, which calls for Parallel.ForEach. However, your array is created with Enumerable.Range and you don't actually use it for anything, so the best way to do it is with AsParallel and LINQ (PLINQ):

This method is about twice as fast on my computer as the serial implementation. Also note that I optimized the main loop so that it does the computation inline rather than calling a function and it uses bitwise math instead of multiplying and dividing. This made it about twice as fast again. Compiling it for x64 instead of x86 also made it more than twice as fast.
