I have a matrice with some number:
1 2 3 6
6 7 2 1
1 4 5 6
And the program should display all different number with own frequency for example:
1 -> 3
2 -> 2
3 -> 1
4 -> 1
5 -> 1
6 -> 3
7 -> 1
Please help me
You probably mean
1->3
Create vector (array), filled with zeros, that have size of max value in matrice (like [0..9]), travell by whole matrice and with every step increment index of vector that equals actual number.
This is soluction for short range values in matrice. If you excpect some big values, use joined list insted of vector, or matrice like this for counting:
1 0
5 0
15 0
142 0
2412 0
And increment values in second column and expand this matrice rows every time you find a new number.
Using pointers this problem reduces from matrix to a single dimensional array. Maintain a 1D array whose size is equal to the total no. of elements in the matrix, say it COUNT. Initialize it with zero. Now start with first element of the matrix and compare it with all the other elements. If we use pointers this problem transforms into traversing a 1D array and finding the no of occurrences of each element. For traversing all you have to do is just increment the pointer. While comparing when you encounter the same number just shift forward all the consecutive numbers one place ahead. For example, if 0th element is 1 and you again found 1 on 4th index, then shift forward element on 5th index to 4th, 6th to 5th and so on till the last element. This way the duplicate entry at 4th index is lost. Now decrease the count of total no of elements in the matrix by 1 and increase the corresponding entry in array COUNT by 1. Continuing this way till the last element we get a matrix with distinct nos. and their corresponding frequency in array COUNT.
This implementation is very effective for languages which support pointers.
Here's an example of how it could be done in Python.
The dict is of this format: {key:value, key2:value2}. So you can use that so you have something like {'2':3} so it'll tell you what number has how many occurances. (I'm not assuming you're going to use Python. It's just so you understand the code... maybe)
matrix = [[1,5,6],
[2,6,3],
[5,3,9]]
dict = {}
for row in matrix:
for column in row:
if str(column) in dict.keys():
dict[str(column)] += 1
else:
dict[str(column)] = 1
for key in sorted(dict.keys()):
print key, '->', dict[key]
I hope you can figure out what this does. This codepad shows the output and nice syntax hightlighting.
(I don't get why SO isn't aligning the code properly... it's monospaced but not aligned :S ... turns out it's because I was using IE6 (It's the only browser at work :-(

You're given an array of integers A. You keep doing iterations of the following until the array stops changing: if an element is larger than both of its adjacent neighbors, decrement it by 1. If an element is smaller than both of its adjacent neighbors, increment it by 1. Return the final state of the array (when it will not change any more). Note that the first and last elements do not have two neighbors, so they will never change.
Example: [1,2,7,4,6] -> [1,2,6,5,6] ->[1,2,5,6,6]
Example: [1,2,3,4] Does not change
Anyone have an idea of how to do this better than simulation? I feel like there should be an O(n) solution, but I can't think of it.
You can calculate teh differnce between all numbers. For your series:
1 , 2 , 7 , 4 , 6 you get
1 5 -3 2
you can conclude that a sign change from + to - means a decrease of the number and from - to + and increase
You also can conclude that 7 can be decreased min(abs(5), abs(-3)) = 3 times max before it "hits its boundry" what is 4. Problem is that 4 changes with the first iteration. This you can recognize by the 2 sequential sign changes. So when this is happening, your max before hitting the boudry for 7 becomes: min(abs(5), ceiling(abs(-3)/2)) = 2
as the max of hitting the boundy on 4 becomes min(ceiling(abs(-3)/2), abs(2)) = 2
With the knowledge above, you know you need to deduct: 7 - 2 = 5 and increase 4 + 2 = 6 to get your answer.

This is a competitive programming problem that it's too early in the morning for me to solve right now, but I can try and give some pointers.
If you were to store the entire array explicitly, it would obviously blow out your memory. But you can exploit the structure of the array to instead store the number of times each entry appears in the array. So if you got the query
1 3 5
then instead of storing [3, 3, 3], you'd store the pair (3, 5), indicating that the number 3 is in the list 5 times.
You can pretty easily build this, perhaps as a vector of pairs of ints that you update.
The remaining task is to implement the 2 query, where you find an element by its index. A side effect of the structure we've chosen is that you can't directly index into that vector of pairs of ints, since the indices in that list don't match up with the indices into the hypothetical array. We could just add up the size of each entry in the vector from the start until we hit the index we want, but that's O(n^2) in the number of queries we've processed so far... likely too slow. Instead, we probably want some updatable data structure for prefix sums—perhaps as described in this answer.
I have an array and I have to perform query and updates on it.
For queries, I have to find frequency of a particular number in a range from l to r and for update, I have to add x from some range l to r.
How to perform this?
I thought of sqrt{n} optimization but I don't know how to perform range updates with this time complexity.
Edit - Since some people are asking for an example, here is one
Suppose the array is of size n = 8
and it is
1 3 3 4 5 1 2 3
And there are 3 queries to help everybody explain about what I am trying to say
Here they are
q 1 5 3 - This means that you have to find the frequency of 3 in range 1 to 5 which is 2 as 3 appears on 2nd and 3rd position.
second is update query and it goes like this - u 2 4 6 -> This means that you have to add 6 in the array from range 2 to 4. So the new array will become
1 9 9 10 5 1 2 3
And the last query is again the same as first one which will now return 0 as there is no 3 in the array from position 1 to 5 now.
I believe things must be more clear now. :)
I developed this algorithm long time (20+ years) ago for Arithmetic coder.
Both Update and Retrieve are performed in O(log(N)).
I named this algorithm "Method of Intervals". Let I show you the example.
Imagine, we have 8 intervals, with numbers 0-7:
+--0--+--1--+--2-+--3--+--4--+--5--+--6--+--7--+
Lets we create additional set of intervals, each spawns pair of original ones:
+----01-----+----23----+----45-----+----67-----+
Thereafter, we'll create the extra one layer of intervals, spawn pairs of 2nd:
+---------0123---------+---------4567----------+
And at last, we create single interval, covers all 8:
+------------------01234567--------------------+
As you see, in this structure, to retrieve right border of the interval [5], you needed just add together length of intervals [0123] + [45]. to retrieve left border of the interval [5], you needed sum of length the intervals [0123] + [4] (left border for 5 is right border for 4).
Of course, left border of the interval [0] is always = 0.
When you'll watch this proposed structure carefully, you will see, the odd elements in the each layers aren't needed. I say, you do not needed elements 1, 3, 5, 7, 23, 67, 4567, since these elements aren't used, during Retrieval or Update.
Lets we remove the odd elements and make following remuneration:
+--1--+--x--+--3-+--x--+--5--+--x--+--7--+--x--+
+-----2-----+-----x----+-----6-----+-----x-----+
+-----------4----------+-----------x-----------+
+----------------------8-----------------------+
As you see, with this remuneration, used the numbers [1-8]. Lets they will be array indexes. So, you see, there is used memory O(N).
To retrieve right border of the interval [7], you needed add length of the values with indexes 4,6,7. To update length of the interval [7], you needed add difference to all 3 of these values. As result, both Retrieval and Update are performed for Log(N) time.
Now is needed algorithm, how by the original interval number compute set of indexes in this data structure. For instance - how to convert:
1 -> 1
2 -> 2
3 -> 3,2
...
7 -> 7,6,4
This is easy, if we will see binary representation for these numbers:
1 -> 1
10 -> 10
11 -> 11,10
111 -> 111,110,100
As you see, in the each chain - next value is previous value, where rightmost "1" changed to "0". Using simple bit operation "x & (x - 1)", we can wtite a simple loop to iterate array indexes, related to the interval number:
int interval = 7;
do {
int index = interval;
do_something(index);
} while(interval &= interval - 1);
In the FinnAPL Idiom Library, the 19th item is described as “Ascending cardinal numbers (ranking, all different) ,” and the code is as follows:
⍋⍋X
I also found a book review of the same library by R. Peschi, in which he said, “'Ascending cardinal numbers (ranking, all different)' How many of us understand why grading the result of Grade Up has that effect?” That's my question too. I searched extensively on the internet and came up with zilch.
Ascending Cardinal Numbers
For the sake of shorthand, I'll call that little code snippet “rank.” It becomes evident what is happening with rank when you start applying it to binary numbers. For example:
X←0 0 1 0 1
⍋⍋X ⍝ output is 1 2 4 3 5
The output indicates the position of the values after sorting. You can see from the output that the two 1s will end up in the last two slots, 4 and 5, and the 0s will end up at positions 1, 2 and 3. Thus, it is assigning rank to each value of the vector. Compare that to grade up:
X←7 8 9 6
⍋X ⍝ output is 4 1 2 3
⍋⍋X ⍝ output is 2 3 4 1
You can think of grade up as this position gets that number and, you can think of rank as this number gets that position:
7 8 9 6 ⍝ values of X
4 1 2 3 ⍝ position 1 gets the number at 4 (6)
⍝ position 2 gets the number at 1 (7) etc.
2 3 4 1 ⍝ 1st number (7) gets the position 2
⍝ 2nd number (8) gets the position 3 etc.
It's interesting to note that grade up and rank are like two sides of the same coin in that you can alternate between the two. In other words, we have the following identities:
⍋X = ⍋⍋⍋X = ⍋⍋⍋⍋⍋X = ...
⍋⍋X = ⍋⍋⍋⍋X = ⍋⍋⍋⍋⍋⍋X = ...
Why?
So far that doesn't really answer Mr Peschi's question as to why it has this effect. If you think in terms of key-value pairs, the answer lies in the fact that the original keys are a set of ascending cardinal numbers: 1 2 3 4. After applying grade up, a new vector is created, whose values are the original keys rearranged as they would be after a sort: 4 1 2 3. Applying grade up a second time is about restoring the original keys to a sequence of ascending cardinal numbers again. However, the values of this third vector aren't the ascending cardinal numbers themselves. Rather they correspond to the keys of the second vector.
It's kind of hard to understand since it's a reference to a reference, but the values of the third vector are referencing the orginal set of numbers as they occurred in their original positions:
7 8 9 6
2 3 4 1
In the example, 2 is referencing 7 from 7's original position. Since the value 2 also corresponds to the key of the second vector, which in turn is the second position, the final message is that after the sort, 7 will be in position 2. 8 will be in position 3, 9 in 4 and 6 in the 1st position.
Ranking and Shareable
In the FinnAPL Idiom Library, the 2nd item is described as “Ascending cardinal numbers (ranking, shareable) ,” and the code is as follows:
⌊.5×(⍋⍋X)+⌽⍋⍋⌽X
The output of this code is the same as its brother, ascending cardinal numbers (ranking, all different) as long as all the values of the input vector are different. However, the shareable version doesn't assign new values for those that are equal:
X←0 0 1 0 1
⌊.5×(⍋⍋X)+⌽⍋⍋⌽X ⍝ output is 2 2 4 2 4
The values of the output should generally be interpreted as relative, i.e. The 2s have a relatively lower rank than the 4s, so they will appear first in the array.
Given an N x M matrix having only positive integer values, we have to nullify the matrix
i.e make all entries 0.
We are given two operations
1) multiply each element of any one column at a time by 2.
2) Subtract 1 from all elements of any one row at a time
Find the minimum number of operations required to nullify the matrix.
i thought of doing something related to LCM but could not reach to a solution
Let's first solve for 1 row first and we can extend it to all rows. Let's take a random example:
6 11 5 13
The goal is to make all elements as 1. First we make 5 (smallest element) as 1. For this we need to subtract 4 (i.e subtract 1 four times). The resultant array is:
2 7 1 9
Now we multiply 1 with 2 and subtract all row elements by 1:
1 6 1 8
Next, we multiply 2 1's by 2 and subtract all row elements by 1:
1 5 1 7
Continuing in this manner, we get to 1 1 1 1. Now we subtract 1 to get 0 0 0 0.
Next, we get to other rows and do the same like above. The row we nullified above are all zeroes so multiplication by 2 when manipulating other rows doesn't change the already nullified rows.
The question of finding the minimum number of operations would also depend on the row sequence we select. I think that would be to select a row whose maximum is minimum (among other rows) first. I need to verify this.
