Reverse String Words Recursively C++


Problem Statment:Write a recursive function to reverse a string. Write a recursiveunction to reverse the words in a string, i.e., "cat is running" becomes "running is cat".
 

#include<iostream> 
 
 void reverse(char* begin, char* end){

  if(begin > end)
    return ;
  else{
    char temp = *begin;
    *begin = *end;
    *end = temp;
    reverse(begin+1,end-1);
  }
}

void reverse_word(char* start, char* begin ,char* end){

  if(*end=='\0'){ 
    reverse(begin,end-1);
    begin = end+1;
    reverse(start,end-1);  //reverse after all words are reversed
    return ;
   }
  
  if(*end==' '){  
    reverse(begin,end-1);
    begin =end+1;
  }
    reverse_word(start,begin,end+1);
}

int main( void ){

  char s1[] ="cat is running";  
 
  reverse_word(s1,s1,s1); 

  std::cout<<s1<<"\n";  // running is cat
  
  return 0;

}

Binary Tree Paths

Source: LeetCode Solution: We do a preorder traversal add each node in the string followed by an arrow "->" if the current node is a leaf node (have no right or left child) then we add the string to the list, otherwise, we add an arrow and make a recursive call in a preorder fashion. The previous string is stored in stack and we can use it later when the call is returned to add another possible routes from root to the leaf nodes.  Complexity Analysis Time complexity : O ( n ) . n nodes need to be traversed ( n represents the number of nodes in a given tree) .   Solution: public List< String > binaryTreePaths( TreeNode root) { ArrayList< String > path = new ArrayList (); binaryPath(root, "" ,path); return path; } public static void binaryPath( TreeNode root, String s, List< String > path){ if (root == null ) return ; ...

Non-decreasing Array - LeetCode

Given an array with n integers, your task is to check if it could become non-decreasing by modifying at most 1 element.We define an array is non-decreasing if array[i] <= array[i + 1] holds for every i (1 <= i < n). Example 1: Input: [4,2,3] Output: True Explanation: You could modify the first 4 to 1 to get a non-decreasing array.   Example 2: Input: [4,2,1] Output: False Explanation: You can't get a non-decreasing array by modify at most one element. Note: The n belongs to [1, 10,000]. Source: LeetCode At first glance, it looks like an easy and straightforward problem, but believe me it's greedy problem. In the problem, you are allowed to make atmost "one" modification to make a non-decreasing array. Nondecreasing means that every element is greater than or equal to the one before it e.g. [1,3,4,4,5,6,9]. For example, [2,2,3,2,4] can this become non-decreasing? Yes, by replacing 3 with 2 =>[2,2,2,2,4]. What about this:...

Merge Two Binary Trees

Given two binary trees and imagine that when you put one of them to cover the other, some nodes of the two trees are overlapped while the others are not.You need to merge them into a new binary tree. The merge rule is that if two nodes overlap, then sum node values up as the new value of the merged node. Otherwise, the NOT null node will be used as the node of new tree. Example 1: Input: Tree 1 Tree 2 1 2 / \ / \ 3 2 1 3 / \ \ 5 4 7    Output: Merged tree: 3 / \ 4 5 / \ \ 5 4 7   Note: The merging process must start from the root nodes of both trees.  Source: LeetCode Solution: We traverse both trees in a p...
