All thing coding
Introduction If you are new to string search, I would recommend to first read the brute force approach here. Brute force as discussed in the mentioned post has time complexity of O(mn) in worst case. Rabin-Karp also has the worst case time complexity of O(mn), but it has a much better time complexity of O(m... Continue Reading →
Introduction We have seen brute force approach to string search here. Brute force approach to string search has time complexity of O(n*m). Donald Knuth and Vaughan Pratt, and James H. Morris conceived the algorithm in 1970. KMP algorithm is the first algorithm to have linear time complexity. Problem Statement We will assume text (where we... Continue Reading →
Introduction CONTROL + F or COMMAND + F How often do you use above keyboard shortcut? In fact, for most of us, searching a string or substring in a pile of strings/document is involuntarily action with the above key combination. This post will deal with the subject of the substring search. We will quickly define... Continue Reading →
Introduction Figure 1 shows a Binary Search Tree. This post will start with the motivation of studying BST and gradually move to the related definitions. We will do some hands on coding for simple BST operations and we will end the post by analysing the drawbacks. Where do we use Binary Search Tree? Trees... Continue Reading →
Before you read further, Please answer the following question: A. int a = 100; B. Integer b = new Integer(100); There are two java statements written above. What is the ratio of memory used by b to memory used by a in a 32 bit machine? The four options are: 1 1.5 2 4... Continue Reading →
Introduction A greedy algorithm always makes the choice that looks best at the moment. It makes a locally optimal choice in the hope that this choice will lead to a globally optimal solution. Greedy algorithms do not result in optimal solutions always but for many problems they do. A problem can be solved by Greedy... Continue Reading →
