A research student is given a singly-linked list. Each node
of the list has a color, which is either “Black”
or “White”. He must find if there are more black nodes than
white nodes, or vice versa. His advisor
gives him 5,000Rs to buy a computer to do the work. He goes
to the computer store and finds a
slightly defective computer which costs a mere 3,000Rs. This
computer has the small problem of not
being able to do arithmetic. This means that he cannot use a
counter to count the nodes in the list to
determine the majority color. The computer is otherwise
fully functional. He has the evil idea that he
could buy the defective computer and somehow use it to do
his work, so that he can use the rest of
the money on enjoyment. Show how he can accomplish this
amazing task. Write code for an algorithm
called ‘findMajorityColor’ which takes a singly-linked list,
L, with n nodes and returns the majority color
among nodes of L. This algorithm should have the same
asymptotic running time as counting the
nodes (O(n)). Note: No arithmetic is allowed.

Answer / tayyab nasir
The best way to do this is to create a new linked list and insert Black nodes at head and White nodes at tail from the previous to the new list. Then find the middle point of the new list. If middle point is Black then Black nodes are more in number else the White nodes.

#include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { char str[10]; int,a,x,sw=0; clrscr(); printf("Enter a string:"); gets(str); for(x=0;x<=a;a++); for(x=0;x<=a;x++) { if(str[x]==str[a-1-x]) { sw=1; } else sw=0; } if(sw==10 printf("The entered string is palindrome:"); else printf("The entered string is not a palindrome:); } getch(); } wht would be the explanation with this written code???

An array of size 5X5 is given to us. The elements from 1 to 25 are to be inserted in the array, such that starting from a particular position for an element i, the next element i+1can be inserted only at the mentioned positions (u,v), and if these all positions are occupied then it returns giving a count of how many positions have been occupied in the array: (u,v) = (x+/-3 , y) (u,v) = (x , y+/-3) (u,v) = (x+/-2 , y+/-2). Example: if the starting element is 1 with the given positions (1,2), then next element 2 can be placed at any one of the positions marked with *. _ _ _ _ _ 1 _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ * _ _ _ _
Algorithm in O(2n) Presently we can solve in our hypothetical machine problem instances of size 100 in 1 minute using algorithm A, which is a O(2n). We would like to solve instances of size 200 in 1 minute using algorithm A on a new machine. What is the speed of the new machine should be?

. Remove all the blank spaces between character.Matrix is of 10* 10. eg: INPUT ------------------------------------ | N | A | | V | |T ------------------------------------- | |G | U | |P | -------------------------------------- |T | | | A | | ------------------------------------ OUTPUT: ------------------------------------ | N | A | V | T | | ------------------------------------- |G |U | P | | | -------------------------------------- |T | A | | | | ------------------------------------
write a program that reads a series of strings and prints only those strings begging with letter "b"
hello friends, given an expression we have to remove the unwanted brackets in that expression. Eg : (a+b) ---> a+b (a+b)*(c)-----> (a+b)*c. Please mail me if you know the logic. My mail id is : saravana6m@gmail.com. Thank you in advance :-)
