Given an integer n, create an array arr of length n where arr[i] = (2 * i) + 1. You can perform operations to make all elements in the array equal, with the goal of minimizing the number of operations.
You are given n baskets with distinct positions, and m balls to place in them. The magnetic force between two balls at positions x and y is |x - y|. The goal is to place the balls into baskets such that the minimum magnetic force between any two balls is maximized.
Given a 2D grid of characters, find if there exists a cycle where the same character repeats in the grid. A cycle is defined as a path where a character appears 4 or more times, forming a loop that starts and ends at the same cell. The cycle must consist of adjacent cells, and you are not allowed to revisit the previous cell.
