花花酱 LeetCode 639. Decode Ways II

Problem:

A message containing letters from A-Z is being encoded to numbers using the following mapping way:

Beyond that, now the encoded string can also contain the character ‘*’, which can be treated as one of the numbers from 1 to 9.

Given the encoded message containing digits and the character ‘*’, return the total number of ways to decode it.

Also, since the answer may be very large, you should return the output mod 109 + 7.

Example 1:

Example 2:

Note:

  1. The length of the input string will fit in range [1, 105].
  2. The input string will only contain the character ‘*’ and digits ‘0’ – ‘9’.

DP

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)

Solution:

花花酱 LeetCode 720. Longest Word in Dictionary

Given a list of strings words representing an English Dictionary, find the longest word in words that can be built one character at a time by other words in words. If there is more than one possible answer, return the longest word with the smallest lexicographical order.

If there is no answer, return the empty string.

Example 1:

Example 2:

Note:

 

  • All the strings in the input will only contain lowercase letters.
  • The length of words will be in the range [1, 1000].
  • The length of words[i] will be in the range [1, 30].

花花酱 LeetCode 726. Number of Atoms

 

Problem:

Given a chemical formula (given as a string), return the count of each atom.

An atomic element always starts with an uppercase character, then zero or more lowercase letters, representing the name.

1 or more digits representing the count of that element may follow if the count is greater than 1. If the count is 1, no digits will follow. For example, H2O and H2O2 are possible, but H1O2 is impossible.

Two formulas concatenated together produce another formula. For example, H2O2He3Mg4 is also a formula.

A formula placed in parentheses, and a count (optionally added) is also a formula. For example, (H2O2) and (H2O2)3 are formulas.

Given a formula, output the count of all elements as a string in the following form: the first name (in sorted order), followed by its count (if that count is more than 1), followed by the second name (in sorted order), followed by its count (if that count is more than 1), and so on.

Example 1:

Example 2:

Example 3:

Note:

  • All atom names consist of lowercase letters, except for the first character which is uppercase.
  • The length of formula will be in the range [1, 1000].
  • formula will only consist of letters, digits, and round parentheses, and is a valid formula as defined in the problem.

花花酱 LeetCode 321. Create Maximum Number

Problem:

Given two arrays of length m and n with digits 0-9 representing two numbers. Create the maximum number of length k <= m + n from digits of the two. The relative order of the digits from the same array must be preserved. Return an array of the k digits. You should try to optimize your time and space complexity.

Example 1:

nums1 = [3, 4, 6, 5]
nums2 = [9, 1, 2, 5, 8, 3]
k = 5
return [9, 8, 6, 5, 3]

Example 2:

nums1 = [6, 7]
nums2 = [6, 0, 4]
k = 5
return [6, 7, 6, 0, 4]

Example 3:

nums1 = [3, 9]
nums2 = [8, 9]
k = 3
return [9, 8, 9]

花花酱 LeetCode 725. Split Linked List in Parts

Problem:

Given a (singly) linked list with head node root, write a function to split the linked list into k consecutive linked list “parts”.

The length of each part should be as equal as possible: no two parts should have a size differing by more than 1. This may lead to some parts being null.

The parts should be in order of occurrence in the input list, and parts occurring earlier should always have a size greater than or equal parts occurring later.

Return a List of ListNode’s representing the linked list parts that are formed.

Examples 1->2->3->4, k = 5 // 5 equal parts [ [1], [2], [3], [4], null ]

Example 1:

Example 2:

Note:

  • The length of root will be in the range [0, 1000].
  • Each value of a node in the input will be an integer in the range [0, 999].
  • k will be an integer in the range [1, 50].
