Easy problem. Take all differences, put them in a HashSet and then check if all the requred numbers are in the HashSet or not.

UVA 489 – Hangman Judge

Pretty easy problem. The word to guess can be safely put into a HashSet and we can keep guessing until the set is empty or until we are done with (7) guesses that are allowed. One thing to note is that the order of the input matters but duplicates in the input do not matter. Therefore, I use an ArrayList as well as a HashSet to store the input and get AC.

UVA 10284 – Chessboard in FEN

This is an easy problem as long as you have done UVA 10196 – Check The Check. I added another “deathByKing” method and just basically used 99% of the old code to solve this problem. The time limit is 3 seconds so a lazy O(N^2) works great.

UVA 10196 – Check The Check

This was a fun problem. This is a really good example of a problem where functions make your code extremely easy to read and write. I did a bit of trickery so that I could use the same functions for both white and black kings.
