text: ## Puzzle : Count possible combinations of coins
  
  Q. Given a sum of value S and infinite supply of coins each of value C = { C1, C2, .. , Cn}, how many ways can you make the change? The order of coins doesn’t matter.
  
  For example, for S = 5 and S = {1,2}, there are three solutions:  (1, 1, 1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 1, 2), (1, 2, 2) . So output should be 3. For S = 10 and C = {2, 5, 3, 6}, there are five solutions: (2,2,2,2,2), (2,2,3,3), (2,2,6), (2,3,5) and (5,5). So the output should be 5.
  
  Yes, I agree; this question is hard. But can we simplify it to come up with a solution that will solve this tough one!
  
  What if C was { 1 } and S was 10? Number of combinations possible is 1; Ten times 1 is the only way to form the sum 10. That was quick and easy, right? 😀
  
  Lets take it to next level. This time, lets try with more coins: 1 and 2 and same sum: 10. Yes, many combinations flashed my mind too. Lets cross this bridge one step at a time. Lets first list out all the combinations
  
  How do I convert this to a program!!! Lets walk through the process that happened in my brain when I wrote down those combinations.
  
  1. I took zero 2 and tried to form the remaining sum with all 1. I could use ten 1 to form the sum.
  2. I took one 2 and tried to form the rest of the sum with all 1.
  3. Took three 2 and got six 1
  4. Took four 2 and got four 1
  5. Took five 2 and got two 1
  6. Took six 2 and got zero 1
  
  Good question (if this already came up in your mind)! what if I tried to find the count of 2 by giving values to number of 1. Lets work it out.
  
  Both cases, I did nothing but iterate from 0 till a number which when multiplied with the chosen coin (2 in first case and 1 in second case) is larger than sum. In every step, I tried to form the remaining “sum” with rest of the denominations.
  
  We encountered more steps than in the previous one but at the end it turned out to be the same number of combinations. Obvious! Trying out both ways helped us discover an optimization: Larger Denominations First. Lets shorten it to LDF 😉
  
  So lets transform our knowledge to algorithm now. For that, lets set some terminologies.
  
  Terminologies:
  
  1. D : All denominations(coins) in ascending order. Why sorting? Sorting is just to implement LDF (Larger Denominations First) and is optional.
  2. D[i] : value of i-th coin . Assume that index starts with 1.
  3. S : sum to be formed.
  4. F(i, S) : Returns the maximum combinations possible with first ‘i’ denominations to form sum ‘S’
  5. F(i, n, S) : Returns the maximum combinations possible with first ‘i’ denominations using i-th denomination ‘n’ times. This function is to find the maximum combinations possible with remaining denominations while keeping the count of i-th denomination to a particular value.
  
  For our case where D = { 1, 2 } and S = 10:
  
  • F(2, 10) should give us 6 since there are 6 different ways to form a sum of 10 with 1 and 2
  • F(1, 10) should give 1.
  • F(2, 0, 10) should give 1
  • F(2, 1, 10) should give 1
  • F(2, 2, 10) should give 1
  • F(2, 3, 10) should give 1
  • F(2, 4, 10) should give 1
  • F(2, 5, 10) should give 1
  • F(2, 6, 10) should give 0
  • F(2, 7, 10) should give 0
  
  Lets try to define F(i, S) in terms of F(i, n, S).
  
  This is nothing but mathematical representation of a for-loop with variable x iterating from 0 to (S/D[i]),  beyond which the x*D[i] will be greater than S.
  
  Now we should define F(i, n, S). As stated before, F(i, n, S) is the maximum number of combinations possible with D[i] used ‘n’ times. With the number of D[i] fixed to n, we just need to iterate through the rest of the coins. So it can be defined as
  
  It is a recursive function which reduces the sum by D[i]*n and finds the maximum combinations with rest of the coins. But what should it do when it reaches the last denomination? It should be able to divide the sum without any remainder; if not, there is no possible combination with the chosen numbers. Simple!
  
  Now, lets try to apply our new algorithm.
  
  F(2, 10) = F(2, 0, 10) +
  F(2, 1, 10) +
  F(2, 2, 10) +
  F(2, 3, 10) +
  F(2, 4, 10) +
  F(2, 5, 10)
  = F(1, 0, 10) + F(1, 2, 10) + F(1, 3, 10) + F(1, 4, 10) + F(1, 5, 10) + F(1, 6, 10) + F(1, 7, 10) ++ F(1, 8, 10) + F(1, 9, 10) + F(1, 10, 10) +           F(1, 0, 8) + F(1, 1, 8) + F(1, 2, 8) + F(1, 3, 8) + F(1, 4, 8) + F(1, 5, 8) + F(1, 6, 8) + F(1, 7, 8) ++ F(1, 8, 8) +
  F(1, 0, 8) + F(1, 1, 8) + F(1, 2, 8) + F(1, 3, 8) + F(1, 4, 8) + F(1, 5, 8) + F(1, 6, 8) + F(1, 7, 8) ++ F(1, 8, 8) +
  F(1, 0, 6) + F(1, 1, 6) + F(1, 2, 6) + F(1, 3, 6) + F(1, 4, 6) + F(1, 5, 6) + F(1, 6, 6) +
  F(1, 0, 4) + F(1, 1, 4) + F(1, 2, 4) + F(1, 3, 4) + F(1, 4, 4) +
  F(1, 0, 2) + F(1, 1, 2) + F(1, 2, 2) +
  F(1, 0, 0)
  = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 +
  0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 +
  0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 +
  0 + 0 + 0 + 1 +
  0 + 1 +
  1
  = 6
  
  
  
  That worked!
  
  Lets write some Java now..
  
  package fun.puzzles;
  
  import java.util.Arrays;
  import java.util.List;
  
  public class CoinCombinationsPuzzle {
  
  private final List<Integer> coins;
  
  public CoinCombinationsPuzzle(List<Integer> coins) {
  this.coins = coins;
  }
  
  public int maximumPossibleCombinations(int numOfCoins, Integer sum) {
  coins.sort(null);
  int maxIteration = sum/coins.get(numOfCoins);
  int maxPossibleCombinations = 0;
  for (int i = 0; i <= maxIteration; i++) {
  maxPossibleCombinations += maximumPossibleCombinations(numOfCoins, i, sum);
  }
  return maxPossibleCombinations;
  }
  
  public int maximumPossibleCombinations(int numOfCoins, int count, Integer sum) {
  // safety check
  if (numOfCoins < 0) { return 0;    }
  if (numOfCoins < 1) {
  if (count * coins.get(numOfCoins) == sum) {
  return 1;
  }
  else {
  return 0;
  }
  }
  // Reduce the fixed denomination from sum
  sum -= (count * coins.get(numOfCoins));
  int maxIteration = sum/coins.get(numOfCoins-1);
  int maxPossibleCombinations = 0;
  for (int i = 0; i <= maxIteration; i++) {
  maxPossibleCombinations += maximumPossibleCombinations(numOfCoins-1, i, sum);
  }
  return maxPossibleCombinations;
  }
  
  public int maximumPossibleCombinations(Integer sum) {
  return maximumPossibleCombinations(coins.size()-1, sum);
  }
  
  public void printMaximumPossibleCombinations(Integer sum) {
  System.out.printf("Coins: %-50s Sum: %-5d MaximumPossibleCombinations: %-5d\n",
  coins, sum, maximumPossibleCombinations(coins.size()-1, sum));
  }
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  List<Integer> coins;
  CoinCombinationsPuzzle ccp;
  
  coins = Arrays.asList(1, 2);
  ccp = new CoinCombinationsPuzzle(coins);
  ccp.printMaximumPossibleCombinations(5);
  
  coins = Arrays.asList(1, 2);
  ccp = new CoinCombinationsPuzzle(coins);
  ccp.printMaximumPossibleCombinations(10);
  
  coins = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3);
  ccp = new CoinCombinationsPuzzle(coins);
  ccp.printMaximumPossibleCombinations(100);
  
  coins = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 5, 10);
  ccp = new CoinCombinationsPuzzle(coins);
  ccp.printMaximumPossibleCombinations(1074);
  }
  }
  
  Output:
  
  This solution can still be optimized by caching the results of recursive method: maximumPossibleCombinations(int numOfCoins, int count, Integer sum)

  ## Google Code jam Solutions: Problem A. Store Credit
  
  Problem
  
  You receive a credit C at a local store and would like to buy two items. You first walk through the store and create a list L of all available items. From this list you would like to buy two items that add up to the entire value of the credit. The solution you provide will consist of the two integers indicating the positions of the items in your list (smaller number first).
  
  Input
  
  The first line of input gives the number of cases, N. N test cases follow. For each test case there will be:
  
  • One line containing the value C, the amount of credit you have at the store.
  • One line containing the value I, the number of items in the store.
  • One line containing a space separated list of I integers. Each integer P indicates the price of an item in the store.
  • Each test case will have exactly one solution.
  
  Output
  
  For each test case, output one line containing “Case #x: ” followed by the indices of the two items whose price adds up to the store credit. The lower index should be output first.

  ## Google Code jam Solutions: Problem A. Alien Language
  
  Problem
  
  After years of study, scientists at Google Labs have discovered an alien language transmitted from a faraway planet. The alien language is very unique in that every word consists of exactly L lowercase letters. Also, there are exactly D words in this language.
  
  Once the dictionary of all the words in the alien language was built, the next breakthrough was to discover that the aliens have been transmitting messages to Earth for the past decade. Unfortunately, these signals are weakened due to the distance between our two planets and some of the words may be misinterpreted. In order to help them decipher these messages, the scientists have asked you to devise an algorithm that will determine the number of possible interpretations for a given pattern.
  
  A pattern consists of exactly L tokens. Each token is either a single lowercase letter (the scientists are very sure that this is the letter) or a group of unique lowercase letters surrounded by parenthesis ( and ). For example: (ab)d(dc) means the first letter is either a or b, the second letter is definitely d and the last letter is either d or c. Therefore, the pattern (ab)d(dc) can stand for either one of these 4 possibilities: add, adc, bdd, bdc.
  
  Input
  
  The first line of input contains 3 integers, L, D and N separated by a space. D lines follow, each containing one word of length L. These are the words that are known to exist in the alien language. N test cases then follow, each on its own line and each consisting of a pattern as described above. You may assume that all known words provided are unique.
  
  Output
  
  For each test case, output
  
  Case #X: K
  
  where X is the test case number, starting from 1, and K indicates how many words in the alien language match the pattern.

  ## Count Inversions in an array
  
  This file contains all of the 100,000 integers between 1 and 100,000 (inclusive) in some order, with no integer repeated.
  
  Your task is to compute the number of inversions in the file given, where the ith row of the file indicates the ith entry of an array.
  
  Tips:
  
  If array is already sorted then inversion count is 0. If array is sorted in reverse order that inversion count is the maximum.
  Formally speaking, two elements a[i] and a[j] form an inversion if a[i] > a[j] and i < j
  
  Eg: The sequence 2, 4, 1, 3, 5 has three inversions (2, 1), (4, 1), (4, 3).

  ## Algorithm Puzzles
  
  Q:
  
  You are a given a unimodal array of n distinct elements, meaning that its entries are in increasing order up until its maximum element, after which its elements are in decreasing order. Give an algorithm to compute the maximum element that runs in O(log n) time.
