This post contains my code for the “Even More Pizza” practice problem released for the Google Hash Code, 2021.
Algorithms
Today, we live in an “algo-cratic” world. Believe or not, the algorithms decide for us, every day.
Which algorithms exist? Which are their pro and cons? Which is the best algorithm for…?
Even more pizza: Hash Code practice problem (2021)
“Even more pizza” is the new practice problem proposed for the Hash code 2021 challenge.
The Hash Code challenge gets more and more attendants every year and I like particularly because it involves – of course – coding, logic, mathematics, and a deep knowledge of algorithms and data structures. In addition, a good dose of team-working is very important. These are all ingredients that are fundamental when working at any IT Company.
Calculate all combinations of K items selected from a set of size N
Calculate all combinations of k items taken from a set of n elements is not difficult with the proposed recursive and iterative methods.
“More Pizza” problem: C++ code solution
In this article, the C++ code implementation of the “More Pizza” algorithm is provided and commented. The complete source file is available.
Book Scanning: Google Hash Code Problem description
This article contains a short description of the problem proposed for the Google Hash Code Online Qualification process on Feb 20th, 2020
“More pizza” problem algorithm description
The description of the algorithm used to get maximum score. Above all, this is the algorithm I suggest to use for the Google Hash Code Qualification Round.
“More Pizza” practice problem: solved with maximum score
This year, the Google Hash Code team has proposed a different version of the Pizza practice problem. For this reason, it has been entitled “More Pizza”.
Pizza problem – Solved Google Hashcode practice test
When I started looking into the Google Hashcode challenges, the first suggestion I received from Google Team was to try solving the pizza problem… just to make practice.
I learnt that solving this problem really helps to find a solution to the challenges that Google has proposed during these years to pass the qualification process (and maybe the final qualification too).
