question:# Coding Question Problem Statement You are given a list of `n` integers, `nums`, that represents the maximum number of steps you can take forward from that position. Your task is to implement a function `canReachEnd(nums: List[int]) -> bool` to determine if you are able to reach the last index from the first index. You can assume that you always start at the first index. # Input and Output Formats * **Input Format**: * `nums`: A List of integers where `n` is the length of the list. * **Output Format**: * Return `True` if you can reach the last index, otherwise return `False`. # Constraints * `1 ≤ n ≤ 10^4` * `0 ≤ nums[i] ≤ 10^5` # Performance Requirements * Your solution should be efficient and complete in linear time complexity, ( O(n) ). # Example Input ```python nums = [2, 3, 1, 1, 4] ``` Output ```python True ``` Input ```python nums = [3, 2, 1, 0, 4] ``` Output ```python False ``` # Hints * Consider keeping track of the maximum index you can reach while iterating through the list. Here's the function signature: ```python from typing import List def canReachEnd(nums: List[int]) -> bool: pass ```
answer:from typing import List def canReachEnd(nums: List[int]) -> bool: Determines if you can reach the last index starting from the first index in the given list of integers. Args: nums (List[int]): List of integers representing the maximum number of steps you can take from each position. Returns: bool: True if you can reach the last index, otherwise False. max_reach = 0 n = len(nums) for i in range(n): if i > max_reach: return False max_reach = max(max_reach, i + nums[i]) if max_reach >= n - 1: return True return False
question:# Coding Assessment: Implement a Custom Image Filter Context: As part of a digital image processing project, you are tasked with applying a custom filter to a grayscale image. The filter should be implemented using a convolution operation, which is a fundamental process in image processing. Task: Write a function named `apply_custom_filter` that applies a given kernel filter to a grayscale image. The function should efficiently handle convolutions and display both the original and filtered images side-by-side for comparison. Function Signature: ```python def apply_custom_filter( gray_image: np.ndarray, kernel: np.ndarray ) -> None: pass ``` Input: 1. **gray_image** (np.ndarray): A 2D numpy array representing the grayscale image. 2. **kernel** (np.ndarray): A 2D numpy array representing the convolution kernel/filter. Output: * The function does not return anything. It displays the original and filtered images side-by-side using a plotting library such as matplotlib. Constraints: * You can assume the image is in grayscale format. * The kernel provided will be of odd size (e.g., 3x3, 5x5) for simplicity. * The convolution should be implemented using manual numpy operations without relying on advanced libraries like OpenCV for the convolution itself. Performance Requirements: * The function should efficiently handle convolutions on images up to 1000x1000 in size. * Ensure the convolution operation is applied correctly, considering edge handling (e.g., zero-padding). Example: ```python if __name__ == "__main__": import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Sample input gray_image = np.random.randint(0, 256, (512, 512), dtype=np.uint8) kernel = np.array([[1, 0, -1], [1, 0, -1], [1, 0, -1]]) def apply_custom_filter(gray_image: np.ndarray, kernel: np.ndarray) -> None: # Get image dimensions img_height, img_width = gray_image.shape # Get kernel dimensions k_height, k_width = kernel.shape pad_height = k_height // 2 pad_width = k_width // 2 # Pad the image with zeros on all sides padded_image = np.pad(gray_image, ((pad_height, pad_height), (pad_width, pad_width)), mode='constant') # Create the output image filtered_image = np.zeros_like(gray_image) # Perform convolution operation for i in range(img_height): for j in range(img_width): # Extract the region of interest roi = padded_image[i:i + k_height, j:j + k_width] # Perform the element-wise multiplication and sum the result filtered_image[i, j] = np.sum(roi * kernel) # Clip the result to be in the range of 0 to 255 filtered_image = np.clip(filtered_image, 0, 255) # Display the original and filtered images fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(12, 6)) axes[0].imshow(gray_image, cmap='gray') axes[0].set_title("Original Image") axes[1].imshow(filtered_image, cmap='gray') axes[1].set_title("Filtered Image") plt.show() # Execute the example apply_custom_filter(gray_image, kernel) ``` Note: Your function should include error handling for scenarios such as incorrect kernel dimensions or non-grayscale images. Aim for clarity and efficiency in your convolution implementation.

question:**Question:** You are given an n x n 2D matrix representing an image, where each element of the matrix represents a pixel's color value. Your task is to rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise in-place, which means you have to modify the input 2D matrix directly without using an additional matrix. **Task:** Write a Python function `rotate_image(matrix: List[List[int]]) -> None` that rotates the input matrix 90 degrees clockwise. **Input:** * `matrix`: A 2D list of integers representing an image (1 ≤ len(matrix) ≤ 500, len(matrix[0]) == len(matrix)) **Output:** * This function should modify the input matrix in-place and does not return anything. **Example:** ```python matrix = [ [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9] ] rotate_image(matrix) ``` Output: ```python [ [7, 4, 1], [8, 5, 2], [9, 6, 3] ] ``` **Constraints:** * You must modify the input matrix in-place. * The matrix is guaranteed to be a square matrix. **Hint:** To rotate the matrix in-place, first transpose the matrix and then reverse each row.
