Day 3: Arrays

 Day 3: Arrays || Hackerrank Soluiton


Objective

In this challenge, we learn about Arrays. Check out the attached tutorial for more details.

Task

Complete the getSecondLargest function in the editor below. It has one parameter: an array, , of  numbers. The function must find and return the second largest number in .

Input Format

Locked stub code in the editor reads the following input from stdin and passes it to the function:
The first line contains an integer, , denoting the size of the  array.
The second line contains  space-separated numbers describing the elements in .

Constraints

  • , where  is the number at index .
  • The numbers in  are not distinct.

Output Format

Return the value of the second largest number in the  array.

Sample Input 0

5
2 3 6 6 5

Sample Output 0

5

Explanation 0

Given the array , we see that the largest value in the array is  and the second largest value is . Thus, we return  as our answer.


Soluiton


function getSecondLargest(nums) {
    const n=parseInt(readLine());
   var flargest =nums[0];
   var slargest;
   nums.forEach(function(e,i){
       if(nums[i]>flargest){
           slargest=flargest;
           flargest=nums[i];
         }
         else if (nums[i] > slargest && nums[i] != flargest) 
            slargest = nums[i]; 
   });
return slargest;
}

Jumping on the Clouds Hackerrank

Jumping on the Clouds solutions in c. Emma is playing a new mobile game that starts with consecutively numbered clouds. Some of the clouds are thunderheads and others are cumulus. She can jump on any cumulus cloud having a number that is equal to the number of the current cloud plus 1  or 2  . She must avoid the thunderheads. Determine the minimum number of jumps it will take Emma to jump from her starting position to the last cloud. It is always possible to win the game. For each game, Emma will get an array of clouds numbered 0   if they are safe or 1 if they must be avoided. For example, c=[0,1,0,0,0,1,0] indexed from 0....6. The number on each cloud is its index in the list so she must avoid the clouds at indexes 1 and 5 . She could follow the following two paths:0 ➜ 2 ➜ 4➜6   or 0 ➜ 2 ➜ 3 ➜ 4 ➜ 6 . The first path takes 3   jumps while the second takes 4 . Function Description Complete the  jumpingOnClouds ...
