SiriAB TestC Hoantu 2

The document discusses three programming problems: fixing a bisection algorithm to find an integer in a sorted array, creating the longest strictly increasing then decreasing sequence (spike) from an array, and counting how many numbers divisible by 3 can be formed by changing at most one digit in a given string. Each problem includes example inputs and expected outputs, along with initial code implementations that require debugging or optimization. The document provides a comprehensive overview of the tasks and constraints for each problem.

BugfixingBisection

Find and correct bugs in the bisection algorithm.


You are given an implementation of a function:
int solution(int A[], int N, int X);
This function, when given an array A of N integers, sorted in non-decreasing order,
and some integer X, looks for X in A. If X is present in A, then the function
returns position of (some) occurrence of X in A. Otherwise, the function returns
−1.
For example, given the following array:
A[0] = 1 A[1] = 2 A[2] = 5 A[3] = 9 A[4] = 9
and X = 5, the function should return 2, as A[2] = 5.
The attached code is still incorrect for some inputs. Despite the error(s), the
code may produce a correct answer for the example test cases. The goal of the
exercise is to find and fix the bug(s) in the implementation. You can modify at
most three lines.
Assume that:
· N is an integer within the range [0..100,000];
· each element of array A is an integer within the range
[−2,000,000,000..2,000,000,000];
· array A is sorted in non-decreasing order;
· X is an integer within the range [−2,000,000,000..2,000,000,000].

Answer:// hoantu answer

Initial code:
int solution(int A[], int N, int X) {
int r, m, l;
if (N == 0) {
return -1;
}
l = 0;
r = N - 1;
while (l < r) {
m = ((l + 1) + r) / 2; // hoantu answer
if (A[m] > X) {
r = m - 1;
} else {
l = m;
}
}
if (A[l] == X) {
return l;
}
return -1;
}

2. CreateLongestSpike

Create the longest sequence of first increasing (strictly) then decreasing


(strictly) integers using numbers from a given array. Return only its length.

We will call a sequence of integers a spike if they first increase (strictly) and
then decrease (also strictly, including the last element of the increasing part).
For example (4, 5, 7, 6, 3, 2) is a spike, but (1, 1, 5, 4, 3) and (1, 4, 3, 5) are
not. Note that the increasing and decreasing parts always intersect, e.g.: for
spike (3, 5, 2) sequence (3, 5) is an increasing part and sequence (5, 2) is a
decreasing part, and for spike (2) sequence (2) is both an increasing and a
decreasing part.
Your are given an array A of N integers. Your task is to calculate the length of
the longest possible spike, which can be created from numbers from array A. Note
that you are NOT supposed to find the longest spike as a sub-sequence of A, but
rather choose some numbers from A and reorder them to create the longest spike.
Write a function:

int solution(int A[], int N);

which, given an array A of integers of length N, returns the length of the longest
spike which can be created from the numbers from A.
Examples:
1. Given A = [1, 2], your function should return 2, because (1, 2) is already a
spike.
2. Given A = [2, 5, 3, 2, 4, 1], your function should return 6, because we can
create the following spike of length 6: (2, 4, 5, 3, 2, 1).
3. Given A = [2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1], your function should return 4, because we can
create the following spike of length 4: (2, 3, 2, 1) and we cannot create any
longer spike. Note that increasing and decreasing parts should be strictly
increasing/decreasing and they always intersect.
Write an efficient algorithm for the following assumptions:
N is an integer within the range [1..100,000];
each element of array A is an integer within the range [1..1,000,000].

3. DivisibleByThree
Calculate how many numbers divisible by 3 can be obtained after changing at most
one digit in a given string.

You are given a string S, consisting of N digits, that represents a number. You can
change at most one digit in the string to any other digit. How many different
numbers divisible by 3 can be obtained in this way?
Write a function:

int solution(char *S);

that, given a string S of length N, returns an integer specifying how many numbers
divisible by 3 can be obtained with at most one change of a digit.
Examples:
1. Given S = "23", the function should return 7. All numbers divisible by 3 that
can be obtained after at most one change are: "03", "21", "24", "27", "33", "63"
and "93".
2. Given S = "0081", the function should return 11. All numbers divisible by 3 that
can be obtained with at most one change are: "0021", "0051", "0081", "0084",
"0087", "0381", "0681", "0981", "3081", "6081" and "9081".
3. Given S = "022", the function should return 9. All numbers divisible by 3 that
can be obtained with at most one change are: "012", "021", "024", "027", "042",
"072", "222", "522" and "822".
Write an efficient algorithm for the following assumptions:
· N is an integer within the range [1..100,000];
· string S consists only of digits (0-9).
