花花酱 LeetCode 1390. Four Divisors

Given an integer array nums, return the sum of divisors of the integers in that array that have exactly four divisors.

If there is no such integer in the array, return 0.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [21,4,7]
Output: 32
Explanation:
21 has 4 divisors: 1, 3, 7, 21
4 has 3 divisors: 1, 2, 4
7 has 2 divisors: 1, 7
The answer is the sum of divisors of 21 only.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^4
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^5

Solution: Math

If a number is a perfect square (e.g. 9 = 3 * 3), it will have odd number of divisors. (9: 1, 3, 9).

Time complexity: O(sum(sqrt(num_i))
Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 365. Water and Jug Problem

You are given two jugs with capacities x and y litres. There is an infinite amount of water supply available. You need to determine whether it is possible to measure exactly z litres using these two jugs.

If z liters of water is measurable, you must have z liters of water contained within one or both buckets by the end.

Operations allowed:

  • Fill any of the jugs completely with water.
  • Empty any of the jugs.
  • Pour water from one jug into another till the other jug is completely full or the first jug itself is empty.

Example 1: (From the famous “Die Hard” example)

Input: x = 3, y = 5, z = 4
Output: True

Example 2:

Input: x = 2, y = 6, z = 5
Output: False

Solution: Math

special case 1: x == z or y == z or x + y == z: return True
special case 2: x + y < z: return False
normal case: z must be a factor of gcd(x, y)

Time complexity: O(log(min(x, y))
Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 1363. Largest Multiple of Three

Given an integer array of digits, return the largest multiple of three that can be formed by concatenating some of the given digits in any order.

Since the answer may not fit in an integer data type, return the answer as a string.

If there is no answer return an empty string.

Example 1:

Input: digits = [8,1,9]
Output: "981"

Example 2:

Input: digits = [8,6,7,1,0]
Output: "8760"

Example 3:

Input: digits = [1]
Output: ""

Example 4:

Input: digits = [0,0,0,0,0,0]
Output: "0"

Constraints:

  • 1 <= digits.length <= 10^4
  • 0 <= digits[i] <= 9
  • The returning answer must not contain unnecessary leading zeros.

Solution: Greedy + Math + Counting sort

Count the numbers of each digit.
if sum % 3 == 0, we can use all digits.
if sum % 1 == 0, we can remove one digits among {1, 4, 7} => sum % 3 == 0
if sum % 2 == 0, we can remove one digits among {2, 5, 8} => sum % 3 == 0
if sum % 2 == 0, we have to remove two digits among {1, 4, 7} => sum % 3 == 0
if sum % 1 == 0, we have to remove two digits among {2, 5, 8} => sum % 3 == 0

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n) w/ output, O(1) w/o output

花花酱 LeetCode 1362. Closest Divisors

Given an integer num, find the closest two integers in absolute difference whose product equals num + 1 or num + 2.

Return the two integers in any order.

Example 1:

Input: num = 8
Output: [3,3]
Explanation: For num + 1 = 9, the closest divisors are 3 & 3, for num + 2 = 10, the closest divisors are 2 & 5, hence 3 & 3 is chosen.

Example 2:

Input: num = 123
Output: [5,25]

Example 3:

Input: num = 999
Output: [40,25]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= num <= 10^9

Solution: Brute Force

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

花花酱 LeetCode 1344. Angle Between Hands of a Clock

Given two numbers, hour and minutes. Return the smaller angle (in sexagesimal units) formed between the hour and the minute hand.

Example 1:

Input: hour = 12, minutes = 30
Output: 165

Example 2:

Input: hour = 3, minutes = 30
Output: 75

Example 3:

Input: hour = 3, minutes = 15
Output: 7.5

Example 4:

Input: hour = 4, minutes = 50
Output: 155

Example 5:

Input: hour = 12, minutes = 0
Output: 0

Constraints:

  • 1 <= hour <= 12
  • 0 <= minutes <= 59
  • Answers within 10^-5 of the actual value will be accepted as correct.

Solution: Math

  1. Compute the angle of the hour hand (h + m / 60.0) * 360 / 12 as a_h
  2. Compute the angle of the minute hand m / 60.0 * 360 as a_m
  3. ans = min(abs(a_h – a_m), 360 – abs(a_h – a_m))

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