You are given some equations which may contain > or = on different-different operand. For example there are valid input and invalid (a=5, b<a=50)

String e1 = "a>b=1";
String e2 = "a>b=2";
String e3 = "a>c>e=3";
String e4 = "a>c>f=4";
String e5 = "b>a=5";
String e6 = "a>b>c=5";
String e7 = "b=7";
String e8 = "a>b>c>d=99";
String e9 = "a>b=99";

You need to create JSON string from it.
{
‘a’: {
‘b’: [1,2,99],
‘c’: {
‘e’:3,
‘f’:4
}
},

‘b’: {
‘a’ : 5

}
}

Input: You are given those string in string array
Output:

Construct JSON
Print it

There is down-turn in the ship-building industry. Ace Shipping Corp (ASC) wants to be prepared by having a system that will help evaluate the total cost saving they will achieve if they were to ‘let go’ some employees.

Following are the rules for drawing up this Firing List:

Each manager at every level in the organization will have to contribute ‘heads’ from his team to the firing list

The input to the system would be a small integer k (=1,2, etc) which would be the number of employees chosen per manager. The output would be the total cost saved for this k. Different values of k would give an idea of the total cost saving achieved.

The primary selection criteria is Performance Rating. k employees with the minimum rating under a given manager are to be selected.

If two employees have the same rating, the one with the higher salary gets selected (to maximize cost saved)

The activity might be requested for the sub-org under any manager. The default is to consider the entire org.

Although total number of reportees for a manager is usually of the order of 10, it could possibly be a much larger number in some org too. An optimal way of choosing the k reportees would be preferred.

The following information needs to get stored per Employee:

Employee ID (unique)

Name

Performance Rating (1-5, 1 is lowest, 5 is highest)

Salary (Rs)

There is a car company and customers ask the car company for 'n' cars for start - end time intervals.

A company can get multiples request for the cars, find the minimum numbers of cars that the car company should have, to satisfy all the requirement for the given list of time intervals:

Eg :

for interval 1-3 cars needed are 2
for interval 2 -3 cars needed are 3
for intervals 3-4 cars needed are 4
for intervals 5-6 cars needed are 2

Answer is 5 for above, as we there is overlap between interval 1-3 & 2-3

Given a string regex and another string pat find whether the pattern is acceptable against given regex string.
Regex string contains following characters and special characters:
1. Normal alphabets – a to z and A to Z
2. ‘$’ – all string should end with all characters preceding $
Example:
Regex :abc$ ,
Pattern: abcd(Not acceptable) , abc(acceptable), ab(Not acceptable), dhfusdhabc(acceptable) etc..
3. ‘^’ – all string should start with all characters exceeding ^
Example: Regex : ^abc
Pattern: abcd(acceptable) , abc(acceptable), ab(Not acceptable), dhfusdhabc(NOT acceptable) etc..
Regex: ^ then only pattern acceptable is null.
4. ‘.’ – any character can be mapped to dot except null
Example 1: Regex : .abc
Pattern: Zabc(acceptable) , abc(NOT acceptable), ab(Not acceptable), habc(acceptable) etc..
Example 2: Regex :a.bc
Pattern: abc(NOT acceptable) , aXbc(acceptable), ab(Not acceptable), habc(NOT acceptable) etc..
5. ‘*’-the character just preceding * can be repeated n time where (n>=0)
Example 1: Regex :abc*de
Pattern: abccccccccccde (acceptable), abcde(acceptable), abcccd(not acceptable)

2. There is a maze of size n*n. Tom is sitting at (0,0). Jerry is sitting in another cell (the position of Jerry is input). Then there are k pieces of cheese placed in k different cells (k <= 10). Some cells are blocked while some are not. Tom can move to 4 cells at any point of time (left, right, up, down one position). Tom has to collect all the pieces of cheese and then reach to Jerry’s cell. You need to print the minimum no. of steps required to do so.

Given huge database of songs design search data structure and algorithm to search all songs with words starting with the letters entered and words matching the sequence of words entered.
Suppose the songs are:
1. Every night in my dreams
2. Listen to my heart
3. Show me the meaning
4. Night in London
5. Night changes

Entering "m" should list 1,2 and 3. "my" should list 1 and 2. "Night" should list 1,4 and 5. "Night in" should list 1 and 4.

Implement a meeting organizer

Given a pond where all the stones are lined at a distance of one unit (C in each row and there are R such rows).

Each stone has a special value which denotes the length of the jump the frog can make i.e if frog is on stone (x,y) and value is k then frog can jump to (x+dx,y+dy) where dx+dy=k and frog doesn’t leave the bounds.

Find the min number of jumps to reach the stone at (R,C). Also print the path taken by frog to reach the stone.

Given 1000 elephant ,none of whom exact heights are known, there are statements given which will be of two forms

i- E_i is taller than E_j
OR
ii- E_i is smaller than E_j

Calculate the ascending order of the elephants(in terms of height).

For ex-
1) E1 is taller than E3
2) E3 is smaller than E2
3) E2 is taller than E1

Then order would be E3, E1, E2

A Red strip has length 1 and width greater or equal to one.
If a Red strip and a Blue strip overlaps, the overlapped portion will become ‘G’.
Find the minimum number of strips required to cover the whole grid.

Design and code the sudoku solver.

There is a zoo and there are several groups(number of groups:K) of people for tour. Each group is having different size (g1,g2,g3…gK). There is one bus with capacity C. Journey starts from a point and bus will come back to the same point. A group can only be included in the bus if all the members of the groups can be accumulated in bus. After coming back from the tour, each group in the bus will again wait in the queue at the bus-stand. Bus-driver earns a rupee for each person travelled. You have to find the earning of the bus driver after R rounds.

For example :

Number of groups G = 4

Group size for each group : 2 4 3 5

Bus capacity : 7

Number of rounds R : 4



queue : (from front side) 2 4 3 5

First round : 2 4 (we can’t take 3rd group as 3 members can’t be accumulated after 2 and 4.)

queue : 3 5 2 4 (1st and 2nd group are enqueued. i.e. 2 and 4)

Second round : 3

queue : 5 2 4 3

Third Round : 5 2

queue : 4 3 5 2

Fourth Round : 4 3

After 4 rounds, total earning is 6+3+7+7 = 23.
