Beautiful You Pvt. Ltd. owns several parlors. Research has shown that if a customer arrives and there is no staff available to service them, the customer will turn around and leave, thus costing the company a sale. Your task is to write a program that tells the company how many customers left without getting any service.

Problem Definition:

The samples below consists of function calls for 4 parlors. Function call for each parlor contains a positive integer, representing the number of staff in the parlor, followed by a sequence of uppercase letters.

Letters in the sequence occur in pairs. The first occurrence indicates the arrival of a customer; the second indicates the departure of that same customer. A customer will be serviced if there is an unoccupied staff. No letter will occur in more than one pair.

Customers who leave without getting service always depart before customers who are currently being serviced. There are at most 20 staff per parlor. Output:

For each set of inputs, implement the function "simulateParlor" and output a number telling how many customers, if any, walked away. 0 would indicate all customers were serviced.

Sample Inputs with Expected Answers

simulateParlor (2, "ABBAJJKZKZ") = 0

simulateParlor (3, "GACCBDDBAGEE") = 1

simulateParlor (3, "GACCBGDDBAEE") = 0

simulateParlor (1, "ABCBCA") = 2

boat 1 arrives any time within a_1 minutes

boat 2 arrives any time within a_2 minutes

...

boat N arrives any time within a_N minutes (uniform distribution)

Tell discord the expected number of minutes he needs to wait for a boat to arrive.

For example If n=3 , and there arriving times are 49,50,51 respectively then expected number of minutes would be 12.495000 . Thats all I know .

User IDs are arbitrary strings that uniquely represent a given user; if a user visits multiple pages, each log entry will have the same user ID. Page type IDs are arbitrary strings that uniquely represent a given kind of page on our site, such as the homepage, a product detail pages, or the shopping cart.

Each time a visitor requests a page from our website, our webserver writes a log entry recoding the visitor's identity and the kind of page requested. Entries are written in chronological order to a plain-text file, with one entry per line. The format of each entry is:

User IDs are arbitrary strings that uniquely represent a given user; if a user visits multiple pages, each log entry will have the same user ID. Page type IDs are arbitrary strings that uniquely represent a given kind of page on our site, such as the homepage, a product detail pages, or the shopping cart. Tons of users visit our website, but there are only a few dozen types of pages.

We can use our weblogs to answer questions about user behavior. One interesting question is: what is the most common three page sequence through the site? E.g., if the most common pattern is to buy items advertised on the home page of the site, we might see the most common three page sequence as "Homepage -> ProductDetailPage -> ShoppingCart". However, if customers spend a lot of time browsing the "Customers who bought this item also bought" feature, we might see the most common three page sequence as "ProductDetailPage -> ProductDetailPage -> ProductDetailPage".

Attached is a sample log file for your reference. Within the first 10 lines of the sample, customer "234" travels through the sequences "Listmania -> ProductDetail -> Checkout" and "ProductDetail -> Checkout -> HomePage" once each.

For the sake of this test feel free to assume that everything will fit in memory. Do keep in mind that given the size of our data sets, performance has to be considered, also, we will be looking at more than just correct output..

We need to print the tree using breadth first traversal but need to reverse the elements of every nth breadth from a provided starting point. I have used additional stack with queue to get the desired functionality. It will be more easier for users to understand the problem after running the code and seeing the output.

For ex: If array has values

1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1

So here the path containing max 1 is arr[0][0], arr[0][1], arr[1][1], arr[1][2], arr[1][3] and arr[2][3]

      6
 3         8

1 4 7 12

sum = 16 o/p should be 4 and 12

1. You want it to be composed of two smaller staves of equal length so that you can either use it as a single staff or as two smaller ones.

2. You want the full sized staff's center of gravity to be exactly in the middle of the staff.

You have a very, very long branch from which you can cut the pieces for your staff. The mass of the branch varies significantly throughout it, so you use just any two pieces of the same length.

You want to create a staff to use in your martial arts training, and it has to meet some specific requirements.

1. You want it to be composed of two smaller staves of equal length so that you can either use it as a single staff or as two smaller ones.

2. You want the full sized staff's center of gravity to be exactly in the middle of the staff.

You have a very, very long branch from which you can cut the pieces for your staff. The mass of the branch varies significantly throughout it, so you use just any two pieces of the same length. Given a description of the mass throughout the branch, determine the longest staff you can make, then return three integers on a single line, the first two indicating the first index of each half-staff, and the third indicating the length of each half-staff.

The input will be given on a single line as a string of digits [1-9], each digit representing the mass of a section of the branch. All sections are the same size and the maximum length of the string is 500. Here is an example:

                       41111921111119
                         11119     11119

If the indicated sections are cut from the branch they will satisfy your requirements. They are both the same length, and they can be put together as either 9111111119 or 1111991111, both of which have a center of gravity exactly in the center of the staff.

Center of gravity can be determined by taking a weighted average of the mass of each section of the staff. Given the following distances and masses: Distance: 12345678 Mass: 22241211

Sum of the mass of each section: 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 15 Weighted sum of the masses: 2_1 + 2_2 + 2_3 + 4_4 + 1_5 + 2_6 + 1_7 + 1_8 = 60 Weighted sum / regular sum = 60 / 15 = 4

This means that the center of mass is in section 4 of the staff. If we wanted to use this staff the center of gravity would need to be (8+1)/2 = 4.5.

Here is an example problem:

                         131251141231 
                         ----        ----

If we take the sections indicated we get 1312 and 1231. By reversing the first one and putting them together we get 21311231

Sum of the mass of each section: 2 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 14 Weight sum of the masses: 2_1 + 1_2 + 3_3 + 1_4 + 1_5 + 2_6 + 3_7 + 1_8 = 63 Weighted sum / regular sum = 63 / 14 = 4.5

This puts the center of mass exactly in the center of the staff, for a perfectly balanced staff. There isn't a longer staff that can be made from this, so the answer to this problem is

0 8 4

Because the half-staves begin at indices 0 and 8 (in that order) and each is of length 4.
