Python Coding (2 easy - medium)
Question1:
Problem Statement: You are a software engineer at a fintech company responsible for
maintaining the backend of a high-traffic digital wallet platform. One of your tasks is to
manage unique transaction IDs generated in sequence. These transaction IDs are stored as
arrays of digits due to their potentially large size, which can exceed standard integer limits
in some systems.
Each time a new transaction is initiated, the system must increment the last transaction ID
by one and return the new ID in the same digit-array format. For example, a transaction ID
represented as [1, 2, 9] should become [1, 3, 0].
Your task is to implement a program that handles this incrementation accurately, including
handling carry-overs (e.g., [9, 9, 9] becoming [1, 0, 0, 0]). This program will be used in the
core transaction processing system, so it must be efficient and reliable.
Constraints:
1 <= digits.length <= 100
0 <= digits[i] <= 9
digits does not contain any leading 0's.
Example 1:
Input: digits = [1,2,3]
Output: [1,2,4]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 123.
Incrementing by one gives 123 + 1 = 124.
Thus, the result should be [1,2,4].
Example 2:
Input: digits = [4,3,2,1]
Output: [4,3,2,2]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 4321.
Incrementing by one gives 4321 + 1 = 4322.
Thus, the result should be [4,3,2,2].
Example 3:
Input: digits = [9]
Output: [1,0]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 9.
Incrementing by one gives 9 + 1 = 10.
Thus, the result should be [1,0].
Solution:
def plusOne(digits):
n = len(digits)
for i in range(n - 1, -1, -1):
if digits[i] < 9:
digits[i] += 1
return digits
digits[i] = 0
return [1] + digits
print(plusOne([1, 2, 3])) # Output: [1, 2, 4]
print(plusOne([4, 3, 2, 1])) # Output: [4, 3, 2, 2]
print(plusOne([9])) # Output: [1, 0]
Question2:
Problem Statement : Mira runs a quaint little candy shop in her neighborhood. Each day,
she prepares a tray of assorted candies, placing them in a straight line. Every candy has a
positive number that indicates its sweetness level. Mira loves experimenting with different
combinations of candies, but she’s particularly fond of tasting only odd-sized samples —
because she believes odd numbers bring good luck!. One day, she decides to calculate the
total sweetness of all possible odd-length candy samples. A sample is a continuous group of
candies taken from the tray. Odd-length samples could be 1, 3, 5 candies long, and so on. For
example, if the tray has candies with sweetness levels [1, 2, 3], then the odd-length samples
are [1], [2], [3], [1, 2, 3], and their total sweetness is 1 + 2 + 3 + (1+2+3) = 12. Mira asks for
your help to write a program that, given an array of positive integers representing the
sweetness levels of candies on the tray, returns the sum of all possible odd-length
subarrays' total sweetness.
A subarray is a contiguous subsequence of the array.
Constraints:
1 <= arr.length <= 100
1 <= arr[i] <= 1000
Example 1:
Input: arr = [1,4,2,5,3]
Output: 58
Explanation: The odd-length subarrays of arr and their sums are:
[1] = 1
[4] = 4
[2] = 2
[5] = 5
[3] = 3
[1,4,2] = 7
[4,2,5] = 11
[2,5,3] = 10
[1,4,2,5,3] = 15
If we add all these together we get 1 + 4 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 7 + 11 + 10 + 15 = 58
Example 2:
Input: arr = [1,2]
Output: 3
Explanation: There are only 2 subarrays of odd length, [1] and [2]. Their sum is 3.
Example 3:
Input: arr = [10,11,12]
Output: 66
Solution:
def sumOddLengthSubarrays(arr):
total_sum = 0
n = len(arr)
for i in range(n):
total_subarrays = (i + 1) * (n - i)
odd_count = (total_subarrays + 1) // 2
total_sum += arr[i] * odd_count
return total_sum
print(sumOddLengthSubarrays([1, 4, 2, 5, 3])) # Output:
58
print(sumOddLengthSubarrays([1, 2])) # Output:
3
print(sumOddLengthSubarrays([10, 11, 12])) # Output:
66
