HackerRank What’s Next? problem solution YASH PAL, 31 July 2024 In this HackerRank What’s Next? problem solution we have given an array A, find integer array C and print its length on a new line then print the elements of array C as a single line of space-separated integers. Problem solution in Python. import sys T = int(input().strip()) for _ in range(T): binary_A = [] n = int(input().strip()) A = list( map(int, input().strip().split()) ) if n > 1: if n % 2 == 0: if n >= 4: if A[n - 3] == 1: if A[n - 2] != 1: A[n - 2] -= 1 A[n - 4] += 1 A[n - 3] += A[n - 1] del A[n - 1] else: A[n - 4] += 1 A[n - 3] += A[n - 1] del A[n - 2] del A[n - 2] else: A[n - 3] -= 1 A[n - 2] -= 1 for _ in range(2): A.insert(n - 2, 1) A[n - 1] += A[n + 1] del A[n + 1] else: if A[n - 2] == 1: A[n - 1] += 1 else: A = [1, A[n - 1] + 1, A[n - 2] - 1] else: if A[n - 2] == 1: if A[n - 1] != 1: A[n - 1] -= 1 A[n - 3] += 1 else: A[n - 3] += 1 del A[n - 1] else: A[n - 2] -= 1 A[n - 1] -= 1 for _ in range(2): A.insert(n - 1, 1) else: A[0] -= 1 for _ in range(2): A.insert(0, 1) if A[-1] == 0: del A[-1] print (len(A)) print (' '.join(str(x) for x in A)) Problem solution in Java. import java.math.BigInteger; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Scanner; public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); int n = scanner.nextInt(); for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { int len = scanner.nextInt(); BigInteger[] a = new BigInteger[len]; for (int j = 0; j < len; j++) { a[j] = new BigInteger(scanner.next()); } BigInteger[] result = new NextNumber().nextNumber(a); System.out.println(result.length); for (int j = 0; j < result.length; j++) { System.out.print(result[j] + " "); } System.out.println(); } } } class NextNumber { public BigInteger[] nextNumber(BigInteger[] binary) { ArrayList<BigInteger> result = new ArrayList<>(); BigInteger[] dataToProcess; if (binary.length % 2 == 0) { for (int i = 0; i < binary.length - 2; i++) { result.add(binary[i]); } dataToProcess = new BigInteger[2]; dataToProcess[0] = binary[binary.length - 1]; dataToProcess[1] = binary[binary.length - 2]; } else { for (int i = 0; i < binary.length - 1; i++) { result.add(binary[i]); } dataToProcess = new BigInteger[1]; dataToProcess[0] = binary[binary.length - 1]; } BigInteger[] secondPart = process(dataToProcess); if (result.size() > 0) { result.set(result.size() - 1, result.get(result.size() - 1).subtract(new BigInteger("1"))); } for (int i = 0; i < secondPart.length; i++) { result.add(secondPart[i]); } result = removeZeros(result); BigInteger[] ret = new BigInteger[result.size()]; for (int i = 0; i < result.size(); i++) { ret[i] = result.get(i); } return ret; } private ArrayList<BigInteger> removeZeros(ArrayList<BigInteger> result) { while (result.stream().anyMatch(x -> x.equals(new BigInteger("0")))) { int itemToRemove = -1; for (int i = 0; i < result.size(); i++) { if (result.get(i).equals(new BigInteger("0"))) { itemToRemove = i; } } if (itemToRemove >= 0) { result.set(itemToRemove - 1, result.get(itemToRemove - 1).add(result.get(itemToRemove + 1))); result.remove(itemToRemove); result.remove(itemToRemove); } } return result; } public BigInteger[] process(BigInteger[] data) { BigInteger onesCount; BigInteger zerosCount; if (data.length == 2) { onesCount = data[1]; zerosCount = data[0]; } else { onesCount = data[0]; zerosCount = new BigInteger("0"); } ArrayList<BigInteger> resultData = new ArrayList<>(); resultData.add(new BigInteger("1")); onesCount = onesCount.subtract(new BigInteger("1")); if (zerosCount.compareTo(new BigInteger("0")) > 0) { resultData.add(zerosCount.add(new BigInteger("1"))); } else { resultData.add(new BigInteger("1")); } if (onesCount.compareTo(new BigInteger("0")) > 0) { resultData.add(onesCount); } BigInteger[] result = new BigInteger[resultData.size()]; for (int i = 0; i < resultData.size(); i++) { result[i] = resultData.get(i); } return result; } } Problem solution in C++. #include <cmath> #include <cstdio> #include <vector> #include <iostream> #include <sstream> #include <string> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; typedef unsigned long long ul_t; int main() { /* Enter your code here.
