花花酱 LeetCode 5. Longest Palindromic Substring

Problem

Given a string s, find the longest palindromic substring in s. You may assume that the maximum length of s is 1000.

Example 1:

Input: "babad"
Output: "bab"
Note: "aba" is also a valid answer.

Example 2:

Input: "cbbd"
Output: "bb"

Solution: DP

Try all possible i and find the longest palindromic string whose center is i (odd case) and i / i + 1 (even case).

Time complexity: O(n^2)

Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 898. Bitwise ORs of Subarrays

Problem

We have an array A of non-negative integers.

For every (contiguous) subarray B = [A[i], A[i+1], ..., A[j]] (with i <= j), we take the bitwise OR of all the elements in B, obtaining a result A[i] | A[i+1] | ... | A[j].

Return the number of possible results.  (Results that occur more than once are only counted once in the final answer.)

Example 1:

Input: [0]
Output: 1
Explanation: 
There is only one possible result: 0.

Example 2:

Input: [1,1,2]
Output: 3
Explanation: 
The possible subarrays are [1], [1], [2], [1, 1], [1, 2], [1, 1, 2].
These yield the results 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 3.
There are 3 unique values, so the answer is 3.

Example 3:

Input: [1,2,4]
Output: 6
Explanation: 
The possible results are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7.

Note:

  1. 1 <= A.length <= 50000
  2. 0 <= A[i] <= 10^9



Solution 1: DP (TLE)

dp[i][j] := A[i] | A[i + 1] | … | A[j]

dp[i][j] = dp[i][j – 1] | A[j]

ans = len(set(dp))

Time complexity: O(n^2)

Space complexity: O(n^2) -> O(n)

C++ SC O(n^2)

C++ SC O(n)

Solution 2: DP opted

dp[i] := {A[i], A[i] | A[i – 1], A[i] | A[i – 1] | A[i – 2], … , A[i] | A[i – 1] | … | A[0]}, bitwise ors of all subarrays end with A[i].

|dp[i]| <= 32

Proof: all the elements (in the order of above sequence) in dp[i] are monotonically increasing by flipping 0 bits to 1 from A[i].

There are at most 32 0s in A[i]. Thus the size of the set is <= 32.

证明: dp[i] = {A[i], A[i] | A[i – 1], A[i] | A[i – 1] | A[i – 2], … , A[i] | A[i – 1] | … | A[0]},这个序列单调递增,通过把A[i]中的0变成1。A[i]最多有32个0。所以这个集合的大小 <= 32。

e.g. 举例:Worst Case 最坏情况 A = [8, 4, 2, 1, 0] A[i] = 2^(n-i)。

A[5] = 0,dp[5] = {0, 0 | 1, 0 | 1 | 2, 0 | 1 | 2 | 4, 0 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8} = {0, 1, 3, 7, 15}.

Time complexity: O(n*log(max(A))) < O(32n)

Space complexity: O(n*log(max(A)) < O(32n)

花花酱 LeetCode 70. Climbing Stairs

Problem

You are climbing a stair case. It takes n steps to reach to the top.

Each time you can either climb 1 or 2 steps. In how many distinct ways can you climb to the top?

Note: Given n will be a positive integer.

Example 1:

Input: 2
Output: 2
Explanation: There are two ways to climb to the top.
1. 1 step + 1 step
2. 2 steps

Example 2:

Input: 3
Output: 3
Explanation: There are three ways to climb to the top.
1. 1 step + 1 step + 1 step
2. 1 step + 2 steps
3. 2 steps + 1 step

花花酱 LeetCode 120. Triangle

Problem

Given a triangle, find the minimum path sum from top to bottom. Each step you may move to adjacent numbers on the row below.

For example, given the following triangle

[
     [2],
    [3,4],
   [6,5,7],
  [4,1,8,3]
]

The minimum path sum from top to bottom is 11 (i.e., 2 + 3 + 5 + 1 = 11).

Note:

Bonus point if you are able to do this using only O(n) extra space, where n is the total number of rows in the triangle.

Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 303. Range Sum Query – Immutable

Problem

Given an integer array nums, find the sum of the elements between indices i and j (i ≤ j), inclusive.

Example:

Given nums = [-2, 0, 3, -5, 2, -1]

sumRange(0, 2) -> 1
sumRange(2, 5) -> -1
sumRange(0, 5) -> -3

Note:

  1. You may assume that the array does not change.
  2. There are many calls to sumRange function.

Solution: Prefix sum

sums[i] = nums[0] + nums[1] + … + nums[i]

sumRange(i, j) = sums[j] – sums[i – 1]

Time complexity: pre-compute: O(n), query: O(1)

Space complexity: O(n)
