Dutch national flag problem in Javascript

Image
Dutch national flag problem and solution in Javascript Problem statement:   The Dutch national flag (DNF) problem is one of the most popular programming problems proposed by Edsger Dijkstra. The flag of the Netherlands consists of three colors: white, red, and blue. The task is to randomly arrange balls of white, red, and blue such that balls of the same color are placed together. Now, let's consider an array with 3 distinct values say 0, 1 and 2. We won't be using any sort method and we need to sort this array in 0(n). Input Array :  let   arr  = [ 0 ,  2 ,  1 ,  0 ,  1 ,  2 ,  0 ,  2 ]; Expected Output: [ 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2 ] Solution Approach : When we see expected output, we can clearly see that sorted array is divided into 3 sections having values 0 , 1 and 2. So, let's divide the array in 3 sections: a) from 0th index to left boundary b) from left boundary to right boundary c) from right boundary to last index. Now we...

Diagonal Traversal of Matrix in Javascript

Image
Diagonal Traversal of Matrix/2D Array in Javascript Problem statement:   In this post, we will traverse a given matrix/2D array diagonally (from center to top right corner). Refer below attached diagram for better understanding. Diagonal pattern: Expected Output: expected   output :     1     6     11     16     2     7     12     3     8     4 Input Matrix:  let   input2DArray  = [   [ 1 ,  2 ,  3 ,  4 ],   [ 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ],   [ 9 ,  10 ,  11 ,  12 ],   [ 13 ,  14 ,  15 ,  16 ], ]; Solution Approach :  When we think about the pattern required, we can confirm that there will always be n number of diagonals that we will be traversing, that means the outer loop will be from 0 to n-1.  I have added be...
