花花酱 LeetCode 1419. Minimum Number of Frogs Croaking

Given the string croakOfFrogs, which represents a combination of the string “croak” from different frogs, that is, multiple frogs can croak at the same time, so multiple “croak” are mixed. Return the minimum number of different frogs to finish all the croak in the given string.

A valid “croak” means a frog is printing 5 letters ‘c’, ’r’, ’o’, ’a’, ’k’ sequentially. The frogs have to print all five letters to finish a croak. If the given string is not a combination of valid “croak” return -1.

Example 1:

Input: croakOfFrogs = "croakcroak"
Output: 1 
Explanation: One frog yelling "croak" twice.

Example 2:

Input: croakOfFrogs = "crcoakroak"
Output: 2 
Explanation: The minimum number of frogs is two. 
The first frog could yell "crcoakroak".
The second frog could yell later "crcoakroak".

Example 3:

Input: croakOfFrogs = "croakcrook"
Output: -1
Explanation: The given string is an invalid combination of "croak" from different frogs.

Example 4:

Input: croakOfFrogs = "croakcroa"
Output: -1

Constraints:

  • 1 <= croakOfFrogs.length <= 10^5
  • All characters in the string are: 'c''r''o''a' or 'k'.

Solution: Hashtable

Count the frequency of the letters, we need to make sure f[c] >= f[r] >= f[o] >= f[a] >= f[k] holds all the time, otherwise return -1.
whenever encounter c, increase the current frog, whenever there is k, decrease the frog count.
Don’t forget to check the current frog number, should be 0 in the end, otherwise there are open letters.

花花酱 LeetCode 1418. Display Table of Food Orders in a Restaurant

Given the array orders, which represents the orders that customers have done in a restaurant. More specifically orders[i]=[customerNamei,tableNumberi,foodItemi] where customerNamei is the name of the customer, tableNumberi is the table customer sit at, and foodItemi is the item customer orders.

Return the restaurant’s “display table. The “display table” is a table whose row entries denote how many of each food item each table ordered. The first column is the table number and the remaining columns correspond to each food item in alphabetical order. The first row should be a header whose first column is “Table”, followed by the names of the food items. Note that the customer names are not part of the table. Additionally, the rows should be sorted in numerically increasing order.

Example 1:

Input: orders = [["David","3","Ceviche"],["Corina","10","Beef Burrito"],["David","3","Fried Chicken"],["Carla","5","Water"],["Carla","5","Ceviche"],["Rous","3","Ceviche"]]
Output: [["Table","Beef Burrito","Ceviche","Fried Chicken","Water"],["3","0","2","1","0"],["5","0","1","0","1"],["10","1","0","0","0"]] 
Explanation:
The displaying table looks like:
Table,Beef Burrito,Ceviche,Fried Chicken,Water
3    ,0           ,2      ,1            ,0
5    ,0           ,1      ,0            ,1
10   ,1           ,0      ,0            ,0
For the table 3: David orders "Ceviche" and "Fried Chicken", and Rous orders "Ceviche".
For the table 5: Carla orders "Water" and "Ceviche".
For the table 10: Corina orders "Beef Burrito". 

Example 2:

Input: orders = [["James","12","Fried Chicken"],["Ratesh","12","Fried Chicken"],["Amadeus","12","Fried Chicken"],["Adam","1","Canadian Waffles"],["Brianna","1","Canadian Waffles"]]
Output: [["Table","Canadian Waffles","Fried Chicken"],["1","2","0"],["12","0","3"]] 
Explanation: 
For the table 1: Adam and Brianna order "Canadian Waffles".
For the table 12: James, Ratesh and Amadeus order "Fried Chicken".

Example 3:

Input: orders = [["Laura","2","Bean Burrito"],["Jhon","2","Beef Burrito"],["Melissa","2","Soda"]]
Output: [["Table","Bean Burrito","Beef Burrito","Soda"],["2","1","1","1"]]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= orders.length <= 5 * 10^4
  • orders[i].length == 3
  • 1 <= customerNamei.length, foodItemi.length <= 20
  • customerNamei and foodItemi consist of lowercase and uppercase English letters and the space character.
  • tableNumberi is a valid integer between 1 and 500.

Solution: TreeMap/Set + HashTable

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

花花酱 LeetCode 1400. Construct K Palindrome Strings

Given a string s and an integer k. You should construct k non-empty palindrome strings using all the characters in s.

Return True if you can use all the characters in s to construct k palindrome strings or False otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: s = "annabelle", k = 2
Output: true
Explanation: You can construct two palindromes using all characters in s.
Some possible constructions "anna" + "elble", "anbna" + "elle", "anellena" + "b"

Example 2:

Input: s = "leetcode", k = 3
Output: false
Explanation: It is impossible to construct 3 palindromes using all the characters of s.

Example 3:

Input: s = "true", k = 4
Output: true
Explanation: The only possible solution is to put each character in a separate string.

Example 4:

Input: s = "yzyzyzyzyzyzyzy", k = 2
Output: true
Explanation: Simply you can put all z's in one string and all y's in the other string. Both strings will be palindrome.

Example 5:

Input: s = "cr", k = 7
Output: false
Explanation: We don't have enough characters in s to construct 7 palindromes.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 10^5
  • All characters in s are lower-case English letters.
  • 1 <= k <= 10^5

Solution: HashTable

Compute the frequency of each characters.

Count the # of characters with odd frequency |odd|, each palindrome can consume at most one char with odd frequency. thus k must >= |odd|.
ans = k <= len(s) and k >= odd

[1,10], [2,11], [3,12], [4,13], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. There are 4 groups with largest size.

Example 2:

Input: n = 2
Output: 2
Explanation: There are 2 groups [1], [2] of size 1.

Example 3:

Input: n = 15
Output: 6

Example 4:

Input: n = 24
Output: 5

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 10^4

Solution: HashTable

花花酱 LeetCode 1394. Find Lucky Integer in an Array

Given an array of integers arr, a lucky integer is an integer which has a frequency in the array equal to its value.

Return a lucky integer in the array. If there are multiple lucky integers return the largest of them. If there is no lucky integer return -1.

Example 1:

Input: arr = [2,2,3,4]
Output: 2
Explanation: The only lucky number in the array is 2 because frequency[2] == 2.

Example 2:

Input: arr = [1,2,2,3,3,3]
Output: 3
Explanation: 1, 2 and 3 are all lucky numbers, return the largest of them.

Example 3:

Input: arr = [2,2,2,3,3]
Output: -1
Explanation: There are no lucky numbers in the array.

Example 4:

Input: arr = [5]
Output: -1

Example 5:

Input: arr = [7,7,7,7,7,7,7]
Output: 7

Constraints:

  • 1 <= arr.length <= 500
  • 1 <= arr[i] <= 500
