Smallest subarray with sum greater than a given value
Consider an array with n elements and value of all the elements is zero. We can perform following operations on the array. Incremental operations:Choose 1 element from the array and increment its value by 1. Doubling operation: Double the values of all the elements of array.
Given an array of integers and a number x, find the smallest subarray with sum greater than the given value. A simple solution is to use two nested loops. The outer loop picks a starting element, the inner loop considers all elements (on right side of current start) as ending element. Whenever sum of elements between current start and end becomes more than the given number, update the result if current length is smaller than the smallest length so far.
Given an array of integers where each element represents the max number of steps that can be made forward from that element. Write a function to return the minimum number of jumps to reach the end of the array (starting from the first element). If an element is 0, then cannot move through that element.
Example:
Input: arr[] = {1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 2, 6, 7, 6, 8, 9}
Output: 3 (1-> 3 -> 8 ->9)
First element is 1, so can only go to 3. Second element is 3, so can make at most 3 steps eg to 5 or 8 or 9.
