#HackerRank: Computing the Correlation

Problem

You are given the scores of N students in three different subjects – Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry; all of which have been graded on a scale of 0 to 100. Your task is to compute the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between the scores of different pairs of subjects (Mathematics and Physics, Physics and Chemistry, Mathematics and Chemistry) based on this data. This data is based on the records of the CBSE K-12 Examination – a national school leaving examination in India, for the year 2013.

Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient

This is a measure of linear correlation described well on this Wikipedia page. The formula, in brief, is given by:

where x and y denote the two vectors between which the correlation is to be measured.

Input Format

The first row contains an integer N.
This is followed by N rows containing three tab-space (‘\t’) separated integers, M P C corresponding to a candidate’s scores in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry respectively.
Each row corresponds to the scores attained by a unique candidate in these three subjects.

Input Constraints

1 <= N <= 5 x 10⁵
0 <= M, P, C <= 100

Output Format

The output should contain three lines, with correlation coefficients computed
and rounded off correct to exactly 2 decimal places.
The first line should contain the correlation coefficient between Mathematics and Physics scores.
The second line should contain the correlation coefficient between Physics and Chemistry scores.
The third line should contain the correlation coefficient between Chemistry and Mathematics scores.

So, your output should look like this (these values are only for explanatory purposes):

0.12
0.13
0.95

Test Cases

There is one sample test case with scores obtained in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry by 20 students. The hidden test case contains the scores obtained by all the candidates who appeared for the examination and took all three tests (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry).
Think: How can you efficiently compute the correlation coefficients within the given time constraints, while handling the scores of nearly 400k students?

Sample Input

Q.3. If the two regression lines of a bivariate distribution are 4x – 5y + 33 = 0 and 20x – 9y – 107 = 0,

calculate the arithmetic means of x and y respectively.
estimate the value of x when y = 7. – find the variance of y when σx = 3.

Solution : –

We have,

4x – 5y + 33 = 0 => y = 4x/5 + 33/5 ————— (i)

And

20x – 9y – 107 = 0 => x = 9y/20 + 107/20 ————- (ii)

(i) Solving (i) and (ii) we get, mean of x = 13 and mean of y = 17.[Ans.]

(ii) Second line is line of x on y

x = (9/20) × 7 + (107/20) = 170/20 = 8.5 [Ans.]

(iii) byx = r(σy/σx) => 4/5 = 0.6 × σy/3 [r = √(byx.bxy) = √{(4/5)(9/20)]= 0.6 => σy = (4/5)(3/0.6) = 4 [Ans.]

variance= σ**2=> 16

#HackerEarth: #BattleOfBots 9: Taunt

Problem

Taunt is a two player board game which is played on a $10 X 4$ grid of cells and is played on opposite sides of the game-board. Each player has an allocated color, Orange ( First Player ) or Green ( Second Player ) being conventional. Each player has nine piece in total. The players move their pieces towards to his / her opponent’s area by moving their pieces strategically. Each piece has a different moving feature and is one of the 3 types of pieces.

Piece 1: It can move to horizontally or vertically adjacent cell, if the cell doesn’t contain a piece of same color.

Piece 2: It can move to horizontally adjacent cell or can move two steps forward, if the cell doesn’t contain a piece of same color (except the piece itself).

This type of piece can move to its own position if its in the second last row of the grid and going downward or if its in the second row of the grid and going upward.

Piece 3: It can move two step diagonally in the forward direction, if the cell doesn’t contain a piece of same color (except the piece itself).

This type of piece can move to its own position if its in the second last row of the grid and going downward or if its in the second row of the grid and going upward.

Players take turns involving moves of pieces as mentioned above and can captures opponent’s piece by jumping on or over opponent’s pieces.

Note: Forward direction for first player is downward and for second player is upward.

If a piece (except piece 1) is moving downward and touches the last row, its direction will change i.e. now it will move upward. Similarly, once if a piece (except piece 1) is moving upward and touches the first row, its direction will change i.e. now it will move downward.

Rules:

Player can only move according to the moves mentioned above.
A player may not move an opponent’s piece.
A player can captures opponent’s piece by jumping on or over opponent pieces.

The game will end after $100$ moves ( $50$ moves for each player ) or when any of the players don’t have any move left. At the end of the game the player with majority of pieces will win.

We will play it on an $10 X 4$ grid. The top left of the grid is $[0, 0]$ and the bottom right is $[9, 3]$ .

Input:
The input will be a $10 X 4$ matrix consisting only of $0, 1 o r 2$ . Next line will contain an integer denoting the total number of moves till the current state of the board. Next line contains an integer – $1$ or $2$ which is your player id.

In the given matrix, top-left is $[0, 0]$ and bottom-right is $[9, 3]$ . The y-coordinate increases from left to right, and x-coordinate increases from top to bottom.

A cell is represented by 3 integers.

First integer denotes the player id ( $1$ or $2$ ).
Second integer denotes the type of piece ( $1$ , $2$ or $3$ ).
Third integer denotes the direction of the piece ( $0$ (upward) or $1$ (downward)). When the piece is of first type, direction doesn’t matter as the piece is free to move to horizontally or vertically adjacent cell, if the cell doesn’t contain a piece of same color.

Empty cell is represented by $000$ .

Output:
In the first line print the coordinates of the cell separated by space, the piece you want to move.
In second line print the coordinates of the cell in which the piece will jump.
You must take care that you don’t print invalid coordinates. For example, $[1, 1]$ might be a valid coordinate in the game play if the piece is able to jump to $[1, 1]$ , but $[9, 10]$ will never be. Also if you play an invalid move or your code exceeds the time/memory limit while determining the move, you lose the game.

Starting state
The starting state of the game is the state of the board before the game starts.

This is player 1’s turn, and the player will move the piece at $[8, 2]$ and will take two steps diagonally in downward direction and will be at $[8, 0]$
After his/her move the state of game becomes:

000 000 000 000

Note: Direction of the piece is also changed from $1$ to $0$ as the piece was moving downward and touches the last row. This state will be fed as input to program of player 2.

Sort a list of tuples by Nth item in Python

Suppose you have a list of tuples that looks something like this:

[('abc', 121),('abc', 231),('abc', 148), ('abc',221)]

And you want to sort this list in ascending order by the integer value inside the tuples.

We can achieve this using the key keyword with sorted().

sorted([('abc', 121),('abc', 231),('abc', 148), ('abc',221)], key=lambda x: x[1])

key should be a function that identifies how to retrieve the comparable element from your data structure. For example, the second element of the tuple, so we access [1].

7

Explanation 0

The first n = 10 letters of the infinite string are abaabaabaa. Because there are 7 a‘s, we print on a new line.

Sample Input 1

a
1000000000000

Sample Output 1

1000000000000

Explanation 1

Because all of the first n=1000000000000 letters of the infinite string are a, we print 1000000000000 on a new line.
