One simple way to encrypt a string is to “rotate” every alphanumeric character by a certain amount. Rotating a character means replacing it with another character that is a certain number of steps away in normal alphabetic or numerical order.For example, if the string “Zebra-493?” is rotated 3 places, the resulting string is “Cheud-726?”. Every alphabetic character is replaced with the character 3 letters higher (wrapping around from Z to A), and every numeric character replaced with the character 3 digits higher (wrapping around from 9 to 0). Note that the non-alphanumeric characters remain unchanged.Given a string and a rotation factor, return an encrypted string.

Signature

string rotationalCipher(string input, int rotationFactor)

Input

1 <= |input| <= 1,000,000 0 <= rotationFactor <= 1,000,000

Output

Return the result of rotating input a number of times equal to rotationFactor.

Example 1

input = Zebra-493? rotationFactor = 3 output = Cheud-726?

Example 2

input = abcdefghijklmNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789 rotationFactor = 39 output = nopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLM9012345678

            for($i=0; $i< 26;$i++) {

              $alphabetMap[$letter] = $i;
          }   
   
        $newString = '';
        $input = str_split($input);

You are given an array arr of N integers. For each index i, you are required to determine the number of contiguous subarrays that fulfill the following conditions:

• The value at index i must be the maximum element in the contiguous subarrays, and
• These contiguous subarrays must either start from or end on index i.

Signature int[] countSubarrays(int[] arr)Input

• Array arr is a non-empty list of unique integers that range between 1 to 1,000,000,000
• Size N is between 1 and 1,000,000

Output An array where each index i contains an integer denoting the maximum number of contiguous subarrays of arr[i]Example: arr = [3, 4, 1, 6, 2] output = [1, 3, 1, 5, 1]Explanation:

• For index 0 – [3] is the only contiguous subarray that starts (or ends) with 3, and the maximum value in this subarray is 3.
• For index 1 – [4], [3, 4], [4, 1]
• For index 2 – [1]
• For index 3 – [6], [6, 2], [1, 6], [4, 1, 6], [3, 4, 1, 6]
• For index 4 – [2]

So, the answer for the above input is [1, 3, 1, 5, 1]

        $result = array();

            # index 3 value 6

            $totalCountSubArray = 1;
            
             # 0

            #$result[1]; 
                $result[] = $totalCountSubArray +

                    $countSubbarrayRightToleft;
            
        }

Pair SumsGiven a list of n integers arr[0..(n-1)], determine the number of different pairs of elements within it which sum to k.If an integer appears in the list multiple times, each copy is considered to be different; that is, two pairs are considered different if one pair includes at least one array index which the other doesn’t, even if they include the same values.

Signature

int numberOfWays(int[] arr, int k)

Input

n is in the range [1, 100,000]. Each value arr[i] is in the range [1, 1,000,000,000]. k is in the range [1, 1,000,000,000].

Output

Return the number of different pairs of elements which sum to k.

Example 1

n = 5 k = 6 arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3] output = 2The valid pairs are 2+4 and 3+3.

Example 2

n = 5 k = 6 arr = [1, 5, 3, 3, 3] output = 4There’s one valid pair 1+5, and three different valid pairs 3+3 (the 3rd and 4th elements, 3rd and 5th elements, and 4th and 5th elements).

I am a mac user but I had to help some members of my team to get laravel running on their professional windows laptop running VPN

Solution found was to go to the following file

#1 – c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

#2 – comment all lines with 127.0.0.1

#3 – add one line with the 127.0.0.1 and the url of the laravel valet app that you desire to get running

127.0.0.1. yourlaravel.test

Here are the following 2 commands to resolve issue

brew tap shivammathur/php
brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]

Find below an amazing article about AWS SQS

https://laravel-news.com/amazon-sqs-tips?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=You%20can%20now%20generate%20test%20files%20with%20Laravel%20make%20commands%20-%20382&utm_content=You%20can%20now%20generate%20test%20files%20with%20Laravel%20make%20commands%20-%20382+CID_d9fd547e177fba8f9a066975d2d06163&utm_source=email%20marketing&utm_term=Things%20I%20Didnt%20Know%20About%20SQS

Long and Short Polling

SQS’s API is all HTTP based. This means that when our queue workers poll SQS for a new job, it’s making an HTTP request to the SQS API.

By default, this does “short polling” – if no job is available when the HTTP request is made, SQS immediately returns an empty response.

Long polling allows you to keep an HTTP request open for a certain amount of time. While the HTTP request is open, SQS may send a job to the queue worker at any time.

Laravel doesn’t do any long polling, but there is something important to know here.

If you use the SQS queue driver, you may see that some jobs take a while to get processed – as if the queue worker can’t find a new job. This is related to how SQS is scaled within AWS.

Here’s the relevant thing to know, from the SQS docs:

With short polling, the ReceiveMessage request queries only a subset of the servers (based on a weighted random distribution) to find messages that are available to include in the response. Amazon SQS sends the response right away, even if the query found no messages.

With long polling, the ReceiveMessage request queries all of the servers for messages. Amazon SQS sends a response after it collects at least one available message, up to the maximum number of messages specified in the request. Amazon SQS sends an empty response only if the polling wait time expires.

It turns out that with long polling, we’re likely to get jobs more quickly as it polls all of the SQS servers that may contain our jobs!

However, Laravel doesn’t support long-polling out of the box. Luckily, we can do something about that. There’s a little note in the bottom of the docs linked above:

Short polling occurs when the WaitTimeSeconds parameter of a ReceiveMessage request is set to 0 in one of two ways:

• The ReceiveMessage call sets WaitTimeSeconds to 0.
• The ReceiveMessage call doesn’t set WaitTimeSeconds, but the queue attribute ReceiveMessageWaitTimeSeconds is set to 0.
