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...

LeetCode Problem: "Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters"

  LeetCode  Problem and solution in Javascript     Objective:   In this challenge, we will solve the “ Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters ”  LeetCode   puzzle using  javascript .   Problem statement:   Given a string  s , find the length of the  longest substring  without repeating characters . It must return the display text as shown in the examples:   Example 1: Input: s = "abcabcbb" Output: 3 Explanation: The answer is "abc", with the length of 3. Example 2: Input: s = "bbbbb" Output: 1 Explanation: The answer is "b", with the length of 1. Example 3: Input: s = "pwwkew" Output: 3 Explanation: The answer is "wke", with the length of 3. Notice that the answer must be a substring, "pwke" is a subsequence and not a substring. Note: 0 <= s.length <= 5 * 10 4 s  consists of English letters, digits, symbols and spaces.   Solution Approach 1 : Brute Force: var lengthOfLongestSubstring =...

LeetCode Problem: "Reverse Integer"

  LeetCode  Problem and solution in Javascript     Objective:   In this challenge, we will solve the “ Reverse Integer ” LeetCode   puzzle using  javascript .   Problem statement:   Given a 32-bit signed integer, reverse digits of an integer. It must return the display text as shown in the examples:   Example 1: Input: 123 Output: 321 Example 2: Input: -123 Output: -321 Example 3: Input: 120 Output: 21 Note: Assume we are dealing with an environment which could only store integers within the 32-bit signed integer range: [−2 31 ,  2 31  − 1]. For the purpose of this problem, assume that your function returns 0 when the reversed integer overflows.   Solution  :   var reverse = function(input) {                  if(Math.sign(input)==1){             var result = parseInt(input.toString().split('').reverse().join(''))     ...
