Task 1: Smaller Than Current
Submitted by: Mohammad Sajid Anwar
You are given an array of numbers, @num1
.
Write a script to return an array, @num2
, where $num2[i]
is the count of all numbers less than or equal to $num1[i]
.
Example 1
Input: @num1 = (6, 5, 4, 8)
Output: (2, 1, 0, 3)
index 0: numbers <= 6 are 5, 4 => 2
index 1: numbers <= 5 are 4 => 1
index 2: numbers <= 4, none => 0
index 3: numbers <= 8 are 6, 5, 4 => 3
Example 2
Input: @num1 = (7, 7, 7, 7)
Output: (3, 3, 3, 3)
Example 3
Input: @num1 = (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
Output: (4, 3, 2, 1, 0)
Example 4
Input: @num1 = (-1, 0, 3, -2, 1)
Output: (1, 2, 4, 0, 3)
Example 5
Input: @num1 = (0, 1, 1, 2, 0)
Output: (1, 3, 3, 4, 1)
Task 2: Odd Matrix
Submitted by: Mohammad Sajid Anwar
You are given row
and col

a) Increment by 1 all the cells on row r.
b) Increment by 1 all the cells on column c.
Example 1
Input: $row = 2, $col = 3, @locations = ([0,1],[1,1])
Output: 6
