CODILITY: Determine whether given string of parentheses is properly nested.

Task description
A string S consisting of N characters is called properly nested if:
  • S is empty;
  • S has the form "(U)" where U is a properly nested string;
  • S has the form "VW" where V and W are properly nested strings.
For example, string "(()(())())" is properly nested but string "())" isn't.
Write a function:
class Solution { public int solution(String S); }
that, given a string S consisting of N characters, returns 1 if string S is properly nested and 0 otherwise.
For example, given S = "(()(())())", the function should return 1 and given S = "())", the function should return 0, as explained above.
Assume that:
  • N is an integer within the range [0..1,000,000];
  • string S consists only of the characters "(" and/or ")".
Complexity:
  • expected worst-case time complexity is O(N);
  • expected worst-case space complexity is O(1) (not counting the storage required for input arguments).



class Solution { public int solution(String S) { // write your code in Java SE 8 // write your code in Java SE 8 char[] chrArray=S.toCharArray(); int len=chrArray.length; int closeParan=0; int openParan=0; int retV=0; int pos=0; for(int i=len-1;i>=0;i--){ if(chrArray[i]==')'){ closeParan++; pos=i; }else if(chrArray[i]=='(' && i<pos){ openParan++; } if(closeParan==openParan){ closeParan=openParan=0; } } if(closeParan==openParan) retV=1; return retV; } }

75%                                75 out of 100 points




Analysis summary
The following issues have been detected: wrong answers.
For example, for the input '())(()' the solution returned a wrong answer (got 1 expected 0).

    // you can also use imports, for example:
    import java.util.*;

    // you can write to stdout for debugging purposes, e.g.
    // System.out.println("this is a debug message");

    class Solution {
    public int solution(String S) {
    // write your code in Java SE 8
    char[] ch=S.toCharArray();
    if(ch.length % 2 ==1 )
    return 0;
    Stack op = new Stack<>();
    for(char c :ch ){
    if(c == '(')
    {
    op.push(c);
    }
    if(c == ')' && !op.isEmpty())
    {
    op.pop();
    }

    }
    return op.isEmpty()?1:0;
    }
    }

Distinct: Compute number of distinct values in an array.

Task description Write a function class Solution { public int solution(int[] A); } that, given a zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers, returns the number of distinct values in array A. Assume that: N is an integer within the range [ 0 .. 100,000 ]; each element of array A is an integer within the range [ −1,000,000 .. 1,000,000 ]. For example, given array A consisting of six elements such that: A[0] = 2 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 1 A[3] = 2 A[4] = 3 A[5] = 1 the function should return 3, because there are 3 distinct values appearing in array A, namely 1, 2 and 3. Complexity: expected worst-case time complexity is O(N*log(N)); expected worst-case space complexity is O(N), beyond input storage (not counting the storage required for input arguments). Elements of input arrays can be modified. class Solution { public int solution ( int [] A) { // write your code in Java SE 8 int len=A.length; int count= 1 ; ...

Dominator: Find an index of an array such that its value occurs at more than half of indices in the array.

Dominator Find an index of an array such that its value occurs at more than half of indices in the array. Task description A zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers is given. The dominator  of array A is the value that occurs in more than half of the elements of A. For example, consider array A such that A[0] = 3 A[1] = 4 A[2] = 3 A[3] = 2 A[4] = 3 A[5] = -1 A[6] = 3 A[7] = 3 The dominator of A is 3 because it occurs in 5 out of 8 elements of A (namely in those with indices 0, 2, 4, 6 and 7) and 5 is more than a half of 8. Write a function class Solution { public int solution(int[] A); } that, given a zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers, returns index of any element of array A in which the dominator of A occurs. The function should return −1 if array A does not have a dominator. Assume that: N is an integer within the range [ 0 .. 100,000 ]; each element of array A is an integer within the range [ −2,147,483,648 .. 2,147,483...
