QUESTION
I have a task (or more like a challenge) found on Code-Signal (a site where do you can do some programming-related tasks. This special task was asked by google in an interview:
If you want to try it for yourself: Code-Fight.
After solving an issue, you are allowed to see other solutions.
My task was "find the first dupe in an array". I managed to do this (i'll show the way), but I'm not happy with my result. After investigating the top-solutions, I was confused, since I don't understand whats going on there.
This was (a) given example input array

After the first run you got something like
QUESTION
I would like to extract a very specific portion of a 2D array in Python using the zip()
method (and avoid messy for loop logic). I'd like to use zip to achieve something like this:

QUESTION
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I'm doing a coding challenge on CodeFights using vanilla JavaScript to find and return the first repeating element in an array. My code works for 2 test arrays (a
and c
) but not for the case where there are no repeating elements.
ANSWER

each time firstDuplicate
is called. Otherwise each call will share the same object.
You are also referencing a
in the for
loop but should be referencing the arr
function parameter.
QUESTION
I need to optimize my answer for the following question without exceeding time limit (0.5s). This isn't a homework or a competition or my interview question. I'm currently learning programming by my self for fun and I found this online.
Given an array a that contains only numbers in the range from 1 to a.length, find the first duplicate number for which the second occurrence has the minimal index. In other words, if there are more than 1 duplicated numbers, return the number for which the second occurrence has a smaller index than the second occurrence of the other number does. If there are no such elements, return -1.
This is my answer:
...ANSWER
Answered 2018-Feb-27 at 13:21First (naive) optimization: start the inner loop at i+1
.
Second (also naive, since it uses quite a lot of memory) optimization: Allocate an array of length a.length
, initialize to -1
. Then, iterate once through your data and as soon as a number is found, store its index. If an index has been found already, you can detect that by checking against -1
, and you have your duplicate.
QUESTION
This feels like it should be simple, but I'm just not getting it for some reason. I decided to take on an apparently common programming interview question to test my skillset:
"Given an array a that contains only numbers in the range from 1 to a.length, find the first duplicate number for which the second occurrence has the minimal index. In other words, if there are more than 1 duplicated numbers, return the number for which the second occurrence has a smaller index than the second occurrence of the other number does."
(source: https://codefights.com/interview-practice/task/pMvymcahZ8dY4g75q)
I believe I have the correct code, but I can't get the loop to stop running. Given the example array, the function should return "3", since that is the first number that repeats (not the first number seen). However, no matter what I try, it either returns 2 or an error.
MY CODE ...ANSWER
Answered 2017-Dec-30 at 14:05You are returnig value in foreach function. This function is called for evry element in array and it's return value is ignored.
instead of .forEach()
use for loop
and return from it.
