Given max. travel distance and forward and backward route list, return pair of ids of forward and backward routes that optimally utilized the max travel distance.:

eg: max travel distance is : 11000
forward route list : [1,3000],[2,5000],[3,4000],[4,10000]
backward route list : [1,2000],[2,3000],[3,4000]

Result : [2,3] ...2 is from forward and 3 is from backward...total distance is 9000...no other combination is there which is >9000 and <=11,000.......0(n^2) solution is straight forward, thinking that sorting both might help.

There is a box protected by a password. The password is n digits, where each letter can be one of the first k digits 0, 1, ..., k-1.

You can keep inputting the password, the password will automatically be matched against the last n digits entered.

For example, assuming the password is "345", I can open it when I type "012345", but I enter a total of 6 digits.

Please return any string of minimum length that is guaranteed to open the box after the entire string is inputted.

Given a room with thief on left side of the room with finite number of sensors. He has to reach on right side missing the sensors. Each sensor is placed at any random point in the room and has its coverage in the radius r. Find out if the thief can reach to the right side without touching the range of any sensor.?

please discuss approach first & then code it..

There are 3 threads. 1 is producer thread. 2 consumer threads. There is 1 buffer. Producer writes to the buffer. Consumers consume from buffer. How to synchronise between them so that consumers consume from buffer one after another, that is, the number of tokens that consumer thread1 consumes is same as number of tokens consumer thread2 consumes.

Given an alphabet where we do not know the order of the letters also do not know the number of letters.

We are give an input list of tuples where each entry in the list gives an ordering between the 2 letters

Determine the alphabet order.

Ex-
<A, B>
<C, D>
<C, E>
<D, E>
<A, C>
<B, C>
Order is A, B, C, D, E

Imagine a horizontal corridor bounded by y = y1 and y = y2 lines on a 2D-plane. There are N sensors with centers (x, y) each of which operates in a range (r) on the plane . So, they cover some circular areas on the plane. See the figure below.

o            |
_____o___o__|____________ y = y1
		o	|OOO
__________oo|_____O______ y = y2
	O		|  O
_ _ _ _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ _ _

	o O		|		o O
		O	|

The question is whether a path exist from x=-inf to x=+inf via corridor without being detected any radar.

Constraints:
1. You are free to move any direction only if you stay in the corridor.
2. You are free to go through corridor borders.
3. N sensors are given as list of (x, y, r) like [(1, 3, 2), (-1, -3, 4)]. x and y are signed integers. r is a unsigned integer.
4. y1 and y2 are integers.

My solution:
1. Create an intersection graph of N sensors by comparing them each other via Euclidean distance

(x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2 <= (r1 + r2)^2

2. If there is a path between y=y1 and y=y2 through intersected sensors, there do not exist any path from x=-inf to x=+inf. Otherwise, there do exist a path. So, I used BFS to search such a path.

Worst Case Complexity:
1. O(n^2)
2. O(V + E) = O(n + intersection_count)

Total: O(n^2)

My Best Case Optimization for Intersection Graph:
1. For each sensor, create two events for start and end of circles vertically. y = (y1 - r) and y = (y1 + r)
2. For each sensor, register those two events into an array.
3. Use a line sweep algorithm over 2, which is O(nlogn + intersection_count) and intersection_count may be n^2 at worst case.

I wonder if I should have had a better solution with the worst case < O(n^2).

Last Man Standing
A king gathers all the men in the kingdom who are to be put to death for their crimes, but because of his mercy, he will pardon one. He gathers the men into a circle and gives the sword to one man. The man kills the man to his left, and gives the sword to the man to the dead man's left. The last man alive is pardoned.

With 5 men, the 3rd is the last man alive.

Write a program that accepts a single parameter: a number N that represents the number of criminals to start with. The program should output the number of the last two men alive.

Example #1: myProgram 5

would output:

5, 3

Example #2: myProgram 7

would output:

3, 7

This is a word splitter program, I wanted to know the complexity of this program:

String s = //"The quick fox jumped over a lazy dog";
           "The Java language provides special support for the string " +
           "concatenation operator ( + ), and for conversion of other " +
           "objects to strings. String concatenation is implemented " +
           "through the StringBuilder(or StringBuffer) class and its " +
           "append method. String conversions are implemented through " +
           "the method toString, defined by Object and inherited by " +
           "all classes in Java.";
int charLimit = 13;
System.out.println("-------------");
char[] chars = s.toCharArray();
boolean endOfString = false;
int start = 0;
int end = start;
while(start < chars.length-1) {
    int charCount = 0;
    int lastSpace = 0;
    while(charCount < charLimit) {
        if(chars[charCount+start] == ' ') {
            lastSpace = charCount;
        }
        charCount++;
        if(charCount+start == s.length()) {
            endOfString = true;
            break;
        }
    } 
    end = endOfString ? s.length()
                      : (lastSpace > 0) ? lastSpace+start : charCount+start;
    System.out.println(s.substring(start, end));
    start = end+1;

Aisles contain products. Product is only going to be in one Aisle.

Product{

AisleID: string

ProductID: string

Price: float

}

Given Array<Product>, find the N highest price combinations. Combination is 1 product from each aisle. You can choose only one instance of each product.

So if you had two aisles

1: {$5,$4,$2}

and

2: {$6,$1)

And they asked for the 2 highest combos you would give $6,$5 and $6,$4
