My solution to a “Daily Coding Problem” that I received in my mail today. Given an array of numbers and an index i, return the index of the nearest larger number of the number at index i, where distance is measured in array indices. For example, given [4, 1, 3, 5, 6] and index 0, Read more
My solution to a “Daily Coding Problem” that I received in my mail today. You’re given a string consisting solely of (, ), and *. * can represent either a (, ), or an empty string. Determine whether the parentheses are balanced. For example, (()* and (*) are balanced. )*( is not balanced. Here’s my solution in Typescript, oneFortyTwo(str: string): boolean { if(str Read more
This is my solution to a “Daily Coding Problem” and it’s one of the Facebook interview questions. Given an array of integers in which two elements appear exactly once and all other elements appear exactly twice, find the two elements that appear only once. For example, given the array [2, 4, Read more
I came across a problem of converting a char value to a number when I was working with Javascript. The interesting thing was that the solution just wasn’t as obvious as I initially thought. In this post, I will talk about how I solved the problem to check a string Read more
Yes there’s been an unfortunate turn of events and my girlfriend and I have split up. The last few months had been somewhat trying for us and I just didn’t think that she would leave when things were looking up. Obviously, I was devastated about it. Hence, I had to Read more
Following on from my last post, this is a short post with code samples to achieve the above on Swift. I won’t talk too much about the background to Binary Search Trees or the breadth first search algorithm, instead just focus on the code. If you need to get more Read more
I have been coding in Typescript for some time and I love it. It’s incredible of just how similar it is to iOS Swift. They have a lot of syntactic similarities except from, Typescript does have a bit of Java in it i.e. the semicolons. The reason I mention Swift Read more
