Hello guys, Today I attended American express hiring challenge and solved 3/3, but there was mentioned as - Candidates from this list of colleges are eligible to participate in the challenge and will be considered for hiring
Is there any chance I can still receive mail regarding selection.

Questions in my set -

  1. Find the value
  2. Xor-Sum

Can anyone provide problem statement of Candy Love problem …??

It’s a DP problem similar to assembly line scheduling.
Here we can observe that to maximize the answer, we either have to select 1 or max available candy.

It is basically the standard problem of inversion count in an array.using merge sort algorithm

The approach is to use inversion count using merge sort algorithm if you looked carefully at the question.

Basically on careful observation you would have find that the required value is nothing but the first bit having 0 or free bit in the binary representation of the given number it will be easy to calculate then that number in decimal.

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:
