Flamboyant Pant takes India's lead past 350

Image
  Rishabh Pant took on the bowlers once he occupied the crease England picked up two wickets on the fourth morning of the second Test in Birmingham, including that of half-centurion KL Rahul. But it was a productive session for India thanks to Rishabh Pant's flamboyant batting and his unbroken 51-run stand with Shubman Gill. India scored 113 runs off 25 overs in the session, as they moved to 177 for 3 at Lunch on Day 4, leading by 357 runs. On an overcast morning at Edgbaston, Chris Woakes found little assistance from the pitch, but Brydon Carse extracted some bounce to trouble the batters. He induced an edge from Rahul, only for the ball to race past second slip for four. Earlier in the same over, Rahul struck the first four of the day with a crisp cover drive off a full delivery. Carse continued to pose questions, this time to Karun Nair, getting one to nip back from a short length and strike him on the helmet. Another delivery took the edge but flew between first and second slip...

India in jeopardy inbetween rain breaks

Image
  Cummins bagged Pant for the third time in the series India found themselves in the doldrums despite rains reducing play to just 30.2 overs over the first two sessions of the third day's play of the Brisbane Test. At the Tea interval, which was taken after yet another spell of showers, the visitors were tottering at 48 for 4 in response to Australia's first-innings total of 445. India's batters weren't helped by the stop-start nature of the day's play that allowed Australia's seamers to rest and return fresh after each interval but Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins were also able to create more jeopardy out of the Gabba surface owing to their higher release points compared to the Indian quicks. That said, India shot themselves in the foot with some of their shot selection. While Yashasvi Jaiswal fell the second ball of the innings after flicking a Starc delivery straight to the square leg, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli were done in attempting boomi...

Top-order failure leaves India in the doldrums

Image
  Kohli was out nicking off once again Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood left India in disarray on the third morning of the Brisbane Test after Australia pushed their total to 445. In a stop-start session affected by frequent drizzles, the visitors were reduced to 22 for 3 with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli sent back to the sheds for single-digit scores. After a third spell of rain delayed the start of India's first innings, Starc accounted for Jaiswal again, this time with his second delivery. The mode of the dismissal though might have yet to be planned for as India's young southpaw flicked a full ball straight to the fielder placed in front of the square. Mitchell Marsh then pulled off a superb catch at Gully as Gill looked to drive Starc without quite getting his balance right while moving forward. Kohli suffered near misses in his short stay as he was beaten on the drive and then hurried by a short ball. His 16-ball stay ended in a rather familiar manne...

Female Coding Pioneer

Ada Lovelace, the first programmer and a visionary mathematician, was chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was fond of sequences. During her studies she came across an infinite sequence that was generated using the following algorithm, starting with an empty sequence. Starting from step number 1, in step number  i,  the integer  i  is appended to the sequence exactly  k  times where  k  is equal to the number of set bits in  i. Given an array  query  of  n  integers,   for each query, find the value at the given index of the array assuming indexing starts at 0 .  Report an array of  n  integers where the  x th   integer represents the answer to the  x th  query. Example Given, n = 2 and query = [4, 10], the sequence is generated as follows. Step Number Bina...

HackTree

Image
 You are given a tree with n nodes. Each node has a value assigned with it. The cost of a path is defined as the summation of all the values assigned to nodes that belong to the path. The root of the tree is node number 1. Cost of path example The cost of the path 6 -> 5 -> 3 -> 1 in the above tree is 42 + 31 + 20 + 10 = 103. A Vertical Path in a tree is the path that is going up towards the root of the tree. It is not necessary for the path to end at the root. Given a tree with n nodes and an integer k . Find the number of vertical paths such that the (cost of the path) % k = 0 where % represents the modulo operation. Note: The modulo operation returns the remainder of a division after one number is divided by another. For example - 5 % 2 = 1. Example k = 2 tree = There are a total of 8 vertical paths: 1 2 4 2->1 4->1 3 3->4 3->4->1 But only (2 -> 1), (4 -> 1),...
