花花酱 LeetCode 748. Shortest Completing Word

题目大意: 给你一个由字母和数字组成车牌。另外给你一些单词,让你找一个最短的单词能够覆盖住车牌中的字母(不考虑大小写)。如果有多个解,输出第一个解。

Problem:

Find the minimum length word from a given dictionary words, which has all the letters from the string licensePlate. Such a word is said to complete the given string licensePlate

Here, for letters we ignore case. For example, "P" on the licensePlate still matches "p" on the word.

It is guaranteed an answer exists. If there are multiple answers, return the one that occurs first in the array.

The license plate might have the same letter occurring multiple times. For example, given a licensePlate of "PP", the word "pair" does not complete the licensePlate, but the word "supper" does.

Example 1:

Example 2:

Note:

  1. licensePlate will be a string with length in range [1, 7].
  2. licensePlate will contain digits, spaces, or letters (uppercase or lowercase).
  3. words will have a length in the range [10, 1000].
  4. Every words[i] will consist of lowercase letters, and have length in range [1, 15].

Idea:

Hashtable

Solution:

C++

Time complexity: 时间复杂度 O(N*26), N is number of words.

Space complexity: 空间复杂度 O(26) = O(1)

 

花花酱 LeetCode 745. Prefix and Suffix Search

Link: https://leetcode.com/problems/prefix-and-suffix-search/description/

Problem:

Given many wordswords[i] has weight i.

Design a class WordFilter that supports one function, WordFilter.f(String prefix, String suffix). It will return the word with given prefix and suffix with maximum weight. If no word exists, return -1.

Examples:

Note:

  1. words has length in range [1, 15000].
  2. For each test case, up to words.length queries WordFilter.f may be made.
  3. words[i] has length in range [1, 10].
  4. prefix, suffix have lengths in range [0, 10].
  5. words[i] and prefix, suffix queries consist of lowercase letters only.

Idea:

Construct all possible filters

 

Solution1:

C++

Time complexity: O(NL^3 + QL)  where N is the number of words, L is the max length of the word, Q is the number of queries.

Space complexity: O(NL^3)

Version #2

Solution 2:

C++ / Trie

Time complexity: O(NL^2 + QL)  where N is the number of words, L is the max length of the word, Q is the number of queries.

Space complexity: O(NL^2)

花花酱 LeetCode 737. Sentence Similarity II

Problem:

Given two sentences words1, words2 (each represented as an array of strings), and a list of similar word pairs pairs, determine if two sentences are similar.

For example, words1 = ["great", "acting", "skills"] and words2 = ["fine", "drama", "talent"] are similar, if the similar word pairs are pairs = [["great", "good"], ["fine", "good"], ["acting","drama"], ["skills","talent"]].

Note that the similarity relation is transitive. For example, if “great” and “good” are similar, and “fine” and “good” are similar, then “great” and “fine” are similar.

Similarity is also symmetric. For example, “great” and “fine” being similar is the same as “fine” and “great” being similar.

Also, a word is always similar with itself. For example, the sentences words1 = ["great"], words2 = ["great"], pairs = [] are similar, even though there are no specified similar word pairs.

Finally, sentences can only be similar if they have the same number of words. So a sentence like words1 = ["great"] can never be similar to words2 = ["doubleplus","good"].

Note:

  • The length of words1 and words2 will not exceed 1000.
  • The length of pairs will not exceed 2000.
  • The length of each pairs[i] will be 2.
  • The length of each words[i] and pairs[i][j] will be in the range [1, 20].


题目大意:

给你两个句子(由单词数组表示)和一些近义词对,问你这两个句子是否相似,即每组相对应的单词都要相似。

注意相似性可以传递,比如只给你”great”和”fine”相似、”fine”和”good”相似,能推断”great”和”good”也相似。

Idea:

DFS / Union Find

Solution1:

Time complexity: O(|Pairs| * |words1|)

Space complexity: O(|Pairs|)

C++ / DFS

Time complexity: O(|Pairs| + |words1|)

Space complexity: O(|Pairs|)

C++ / DFS Optimized

 

Solution2:

Time complexity: O(|Pairs| + |words1|)

Space complexity: O(|Pairs|)

C++ / Union Find

花花酱 LeetCode 734. Sentence Similarity

Problem:

Given two sentences words1, words2 (each represented as an array of strings), and a list of similar word pairs pairs, determine if two sentences are similar.

For example, “great acting skills” and “fine drama talent” are similar, if the similar word pairs are pairs = [["great", "fine"], ["acting","drama"], ["skills","talent"]].

Note that the similarity relation is not transitive. For example, if “great” and “fine” are similar, and “fine” and “good” are similar, “great” and “good” are not necessarily similar.

However, similarity is symmetric. For example, “great” and “fine” being similar is the same as “fine” and “great” being similar.

Also, a word is always similar with itself. For example, the sentences words1 = ["great"], words2 = ["great"], pairs = [] are similar, even though there are no specified similar word pairs.

Finally, sentences can only be similar if they have the same number of words. So a sentence like words1 = ["great"] can never be similar to words2 = ["doubleplus","good"].

Note:

  • The length of words1 and words2 will not exceed 1000.
  • The length of pairs will not exceed 2000.
  • The length of each pairs[i] will be 2.
  • The length of each words[i] and pairs[i][j] will be in the range [1, 20].

Idea:

Use hashtable to store mapping from word to its similar words.

花花酱 LeetCode 1. Two Sum

Problem:

Given an array of integers, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to a specific target.

You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice.

Example:

Given nums = [2, 7, 11, 15], target = 9,

Because nums[0] + nums[1] = 2 + 7 = 9,
return [0, 1].
