花花酱 LeetCode 576. Out of Boundary Paths

Problem

There is an m by n grid with a ball. Given the start coordinate (i,j) of the ball, you can move the ball to adjacent cell or cross the grid boundary in four directions (up, down, left, right). However, you can at most move N times. Find out the number of paths to move the ball out of grid boundary. The answer may be very large, return it after mod 109 + 7.

Example 1:

Input:m = 2, n = 2, N = 2, i = 0, j = 0
Output: 6
Explanation:

Example 2:

Input:m = 1, n = 3, N = 3, i = 0, j = 1
Output: 12
Explanation:

Note:

  1. Once you move the ball out of boundary, you cannot move it back.
  2. The length and height of the grid is in range [1,50].
  3. N is in range [0,50].

Solution

花花酱 LeetCode 329. Longest Increasing Path in a Matrix

Problem

Given an integer matrix, find the length of the longest increasing path.

From each cell, you can either move to four directions: left, right, up or down. You may NOT move diagonally or move outside of the boundary (i.e. wrap-around is not allowed).

Example 1:

Input: nums = 
[
  [9,9,4],
  [6,6,8],
  [2,1,1]
] 
Output: 4 
Explanation: The longest increasing path is [1, 2, 6, 9].

Example 2:

Input: nums = 
[
  [3,4,5],
  [3,2,6],
  [2,2,1]

花花酱 LeetCode 823. Binary Trees With Factors

Problem

题目大意:给你一些可以重复使用的数字问能够构成多少种不同的特殊二叉树(根结点的值需为子节点值的乘积)。

https://leetcode.com/problems/binary-trees-with-factors/description/

Given an array of unique integers, each integer is strictly greater than 1.

We make a binary tree using these integers and each number may be used for any number of times.

Each non-leaf node’s value should be equal to the product of the values of it’s children.

How many binary trees can we make?  Return the answer modulo 10 ** 9 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: A = [2, 4]
Output: 3 Explanation: We can make these trees: [2], [4], [4, 2, 2]

Example 2:

Input: A = [2, 4, 5, 10]
Output: 7
Explanation: We can make these trees: [2], [4], [5], [10], [4, 2, 2], [10, 2, 5], [10, 5, 2].

Note:

  1. 1 <= A.length <= 1000.
  2. 2 <= A[i] <= 10 ^ 9.

Solution: DP

Use dp[i] to denote the number of valid binary trees using the first i + 1 smallest elements and roots at A[i].

dp[i] = sum(dp[j] * dp[i/j]),  0 <= j < i, A[i] is a factor of A[j] and A[i] / A[j] also in A.

      A[i]
     /    \
 A[j]  (A[i]/A[j])
  / \     / \
 .....   .....

ans = sum(dp[i]), for all possible i.

花花酱 LeetCode 818. Race Car

Problem

题目大意:初始位置0速度+1,每次你可以加速(速度*2)或者倒车(速度变成-1*dir)。问最少需要执行多少步操作能够到达T。

https://leetcode.com/problems/race-car/description/

Your car starts at position 0 and speed +1 on an infinite number line.  (Your car can go into negative positions.)

Your car drives automatically according to a sequence of instructions A (accelerate) and R (reverse).

When you get an instruction “A”, your car does the following: position += speed, speed *= 2.

When you get an instruction “R”, your car does the following: if your speed is positive then speed = -1 , otherwise speed = 1.  (Your position stays the same.)

For example, after commands “AAR”, your car goes to positions 0->1->3->3, and your speed goes to 1->2->4->-1.

Now for some target position, say the length of the shortest sequence of instructions to get there.

Example 1:
Input: 
target = 3
Output: 2
Explanation: 
The shortest instruction sequence is "AA".
Your position goes from 0->1->3.
Example 2:
Input: 
target = 6
Output: 5
Explanation: 
The shortest instruction sequence is "AAARA".
Your position goes from 0->1->3->7->7->6.

Note:

  • 1 <= target <= 10000.
