花花酱 LeetCode 1534. Count Good Triplets

By zxi on August 1, 2020

Given an array of integers arr, and three integers a, b and c. You need to find the number of good triplets.

A triplet (arr[i], arr[j], arr[k]) is good if the following conditions are true:

0 <= i < j < k < arr.length
|arr[i] - arr[j]| <= a
|arr[j] - arr[k]| <= b
|arr[i] - arr[k]| <= c

Where |x| denotes the absolute value of x.

Return the number of good triplets.

Example 1:

Input: arr = [3,0,1,1,9,7], a = 7, b = 2, c = 3
Output: 4
Explanation: There are 4 good triplets: [(3,0,1), (3,0,1), (3,1,1), (0,1,1)].

Example 2:

Input: arr = [1,1,2,2,3], a = 0, b = 0, c = 1
Output: 0
Explanation: No triplet satisfies all conditions.

Constraints:

3 <= arr.length <= 100
0 <= arr[i] <= 1000
0 <= a, b, c <= 1000

Solution: Brute Force

Time complexity: O(n^3)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int countGoodTriplets(vector<int>& arr, int a, int b, int c) {

const int n = arr.size();

int ans = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)

for (int j = i + 1; j < n; ++j)

for (int k = j + 1; k < n; ++k)

if (abs(arr[i] - arr[j]) <= a &&

abs(arr[j] - arr[k]) <= b &&

abs(arr[i] - arr[k]) <= c)

++ans;

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 1526. Minimum Number of Increments on Subarrays to Form a Target Array

By zxi on July 25, 2020

Given an array of positive integers target and an array initial of same size with all zeros.

Return the minimum number of operations to form a target array from initial if you are allowed to do the following operation:

Choose any subarray from initial and increment each value by one.

The answer is guaranteed to fit within the range of a 32-bit signed integer.

Example 1:

Input: target = [1,2,3,2,1]
Output: 3
Explanation: We need at least 3 operations to form the target array from the initial array.
[0,0,0,0,0] increment 1 from index 0 to 4 (inclusive).
[1,1,1,1,1] increment 1 from index 1 to 3 (inclusive).
[1,2,2,2,1] increment 1 at index 2.
[1,2,3,2,1] target array is formed.

Example 2:

Input: target = [3,1,1,2]
Output: 4
Explanation: (initial)[0,0,0,0] -> [1,1,1,1] -> [1,1,1,2] -> [2,1,1,2] -> [3,1,1,2] (target).

Example 3:

Input: target = [3,1,5,4,2]
Output: 7
Explanation: (initial)[0,0,0,0,0] -> [1,1,1,1,1] -> [2,1,1,1,1] -> [3,1,1,1,1] 
                                  -> [3,1,2,2,2] -> [3,1,3,3,2] -> [3,1,4,4,2] -> [3,1,5,4,2] (target).

Example 4:

Input: target = [1,1,1,1]
Output: 1

Constraints:

1 <= target.length <= 10^5
1 <= target[i] <= 10^5

Solution:

If arr[i] < arr[i – 1], if we can generate arr[i] then we can always generate arr[i] with no extra cost.
e.g. [3, 2, 1] 3 < 2 < 1, [0,0,0] => [1,1,1] => [2, 2, 1] => [3, 2, 1]

So we only need to handle the case of arr[i] > arr[i – 1], we can reuse the computation, with extra cost of arr[i] – arr[i-1].
e.g. [2, 5]: [0,0] => [1, 1] => [2, 2], it takes 2 steps to cover arr[0].
[2,2] => [2, 3] => [2, 4] => [2, 5], takes another 3 steps (arr[1] – arr[0] / 5 – 2) to cover arr[1].

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

class Solution {

public:

int minNumberOperations(vector<int>& target) {

int ans = target[0];

for (int i = 1; i < target.size(); ++i)

ans += max(0, target[i] - target[i - 1]);

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 1502. Can Make Arithmetic Progression From Sequence

By zxi on July 5, 2020

Given an array of numbers arr. A sequence of numbers is called an arithmetic progression if the difference between any two consecutive elements is the same.

Return true if the array can be rearranged to form an arithmetic progression, otherwise, return false.

Example 1:

Input: arr = [3,5,1]
Output: true
Explanation: We can reorder the elements as [1,3,5] or [5,3,1] with differences 2 and -2 respectively, between each consecutive elements.

Example 2:

Input: arr = [1,2,4]
Output: false
Explanation: There is no way to reorder the elements to obtain an arithmetic progression.

Constraints:

2 <= arr.length <= 1000
-10^6 <= arr[i] <= 10^6

Solution 1: Sort and check.

Time complexity: O(nlog)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

bool canMakeArithmeticProgression(vector<int>& arr) {

sort(begin(arr), end(arr));

const int diff = arr[1] - arr[0];

for (int i = 2; i < arr.size(); ++i)

if (arr[i] - arr[i - 1] != diff) return false;

return true;

}

};

Java

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public boolean canMakeArithmeticProgression(int[] arr) {

Arrays.sort(arr);

int diff = arr[1] - arr[0];

for (int i = 2; i < arr.length; ++i)

if (arr[i] - arr[i - 1] != diff) return false;

return true;

}

python3

class Solution:

def canMakeArithmeticProgression(self, arr: List[int]) -> bool:

arr.sort()

diff = arr[1] - arr[0]

return all(i - j == diff for i, j in zip(arr[1:], arr[:-1]))

Solution 2: Rearrange the array

Find min / max / diff and put each element into its correct position by swapping elements in place.

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

bool canMakeArithmeticProgression(vector<int>& arr) {

const int n = arr.size();

const auto [loit, hiit] = minmax_element(cbegin(arr), cend(arr));

const auto [lo, hi] = pair{*loit, *hiit};

if ((hi - lo) % (n - 1)) return false;

const int diff = (hi - lo) / (n - 1);

if (diff == 0) return true;

for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {

if ((arr[i] - lo) % diff) return false;

const int idx = (arr[i] - lo) / diff;

if (idx != i) swap(arr[i--], arr[idx]);

}

return true;

}

花花酱 LeetCode 1492. The kth Factor of n

By zxi on June 27, 2020

Given two positive integers n and k.

A factor of an integer n is defined as an integer i where n % i == 0.

Consider a list of all factors of n sorted in ascending order, return the kth factor in this list or return -1 if n has less than k factors.

Example 1:

Input: n = 12, k = 3
Output: 3
Explanation: Factors list is [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12], the 3rd factor is 3.

Example 2:

Input: n = 7, k = 2
Output: 7
Explanation: Factors list is [1, 7], the 2nd factor is 7.

Example 3:

Input: n = 4, k = 4
Output: -1
Explanation: Factors list is [1, 2, 4], there is only 3 factors. We should return -1.

Example 4:

Input: n = 1, k = 1
Output: 1
Explanation: Factors list is [1], the 1st factor is 1.

Example 5:

Input: n = 1000, k = 3
Output: 4
Explanation: Factors list is [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 125, 200, 250, 500, 1000].

Constraints:

1 <= k <= n <= 1000

Solution: Brute Force

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int kthFactor(int n, int k) {

for (int i = 1; i <= n; ++i)

if (n % i == 0 && --k == 0) return i;

return -1;

}

花花酱 LeetCode 1491. Average Salary Excluding the Minimum and Maximum Salary

By zxi on June 27, 2020

Given an array of unique integers salary where salary[i] is the salary of the employee i.

Return the average salary of employees excluding the minimum and maximum salary.

Example 1:

Input: salary = [4000,3000,1000,2000]
Output: 2500.00000
Explanation: Minimum salary and maximum salary are 1000 and 4000 respectively.
Average salary excluding minimum and maximum salary is (2000+3000)/2= 2500

Example 2:

Input: salary = [1000,2000,3000]
Output: 2000.00000
Explanation: Minimum salary and maximum salary are 1000 and 3000 respectively.
Average salary excluding minimum and maximum salary is (2000)/1= 2000

Example 3:

Input: salary = [6000,5000,4000,3000,2000,1000]
Output: 3500.00000

Example 4:

Input: salary = [8000,9000,2000,3000,6000,1000]
Output: 4750.00000

Constraints:

3 <= salary.length <= 100
10^3 <= salary[i] <= 10^6
salary[i] is unique.
Answers within 10^-5 of the actual value will be accepted as correct.

Solution: Brute Force

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

double average(vector<int>& salary) {

auto [lit, hit] = minmax_element(begin(salary), end(salary));

int sum = accumulate(begin(salary), end(salary), 0);

return (sum - *lit - *hit) * 1.0 / (salary.size() - 2);

}
