花花酱 LeetCode 313. Super Ugly Number

Write a program to find the nth super ugly number.

Super ugly numbers are positive numbers whose all prime factors are in the given prime list primes of size k.

Example:

Input: n = 12, primes = [2,7,13,19] 
Output: 32
Explanation: [1,2,4,7,8,13,14,16,19,26,28,32] is the sequence of the first 12 super ugly numbers given primes = [2,7,13,19] of size 4.

Note:

  • 1 is a super ugly number for any given primes.
  • The given numbers in primes are in ascending order.
  • 0 < k ≤ 100, 0 < n ≤ 106, 0 < primes[i] < 1000.
  • The nth super ugly number is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit signed integer.

Solution 1: Set

Maintain an ordered set of super ugly numbers, each time extract the smallest one, and multiply it with all primes and insert the new number into set.

Time complexity: O(n*k*logn)
Space complexity: O(n)

C++

Solution 2: Priority Queue

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

花花酱 LeetCode 470. Implement Rand10() Using Rand7()

Problem

Given a function rand7 which generates a uniform random integer in the range 1 to 7, write a function rand10 which generates a uniform random integer in the range 1 to 10.

Do NOT use system’s Math.random().

Example 1:

Input: 1
Output: [7]

Example 2:

Input: 2
Output: [8,4]

Example 3:

Input: 3
Output: [8,1,10]

Note:

  1. rand7 is predefined.
  2. Each testcase has one argument: n, the number of times that rand10 is called.

Follow up:

  1. What is the expected value for the number of calls to rand7() function?
  2. Could you minimize the number of calls to rand7()?

Solution:

Time complexity: O(1)

Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 923. 3Sum With Multiplicity

Problem

Given an integer array A, and an integer target, return the number of tuples i, j, k  such that i < j < k and A[i] + A[j] + A[k] == target.

As the answer can be very large, return it modulo 10^9 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: A = [1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5], target = 8
Output: 20
Explanation: 
Enumerating by the values (A[i], A[j], A[k]):
(1, 2, 5) occurs 8 times;
(1, 3, 4) occurs 8 times;
(2, 2, 4) occurs 2 times;
(2, 3, 3) occurs 2 times.

Example 2:

Input: A = [1,1,2,2,2,2], target = 5
Output: 12
Explanation: 
A[i] = 1, A[j] = A[k] = 2 occurs 12 times:
We choose one 1 from [1,1] in 2 ways,
and two 2s from [2,2,2,2] in 6 ways.

Note:

  1. 3 <= A.length <= 3000
  2. 0 <= A[i] <= 100
  3. 0 <= target <= 300

Solution: Math / Combination

Time complexity: O(n + |target|^2)

Space complexity: O(|target|)

花花酱 LeetCode 914. X of a Kind in a Deck of Cards

Problem

n a deck of cards, each card has an integer written on it.

Return true if and only if you can choose X >= 2 such that it is possible to split the entire deck into 1 or more groups of cards, where:

  • Each group has exactly X cards.
  • All the cards in each group have the same integer.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1]
Output: true
Explanation: Possible partition [1,1],[2,2],[3,3],[4,4]

Example 2:

Input: [1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3]
Output: false
Explanation: No possible partition.

Example 3:

Input: [1]
Output: false
Explanation: No possible partition.

Example 4:

Input: [1,1]
Output: true
Explanation: Possible partition [1,1]

Example 5:

Input: [1,1,2,2,2,2]
Output: true
Explanation: Possible partition [1,1],[2,2],[2,2]

Note:

  1. 1 <= deck.length <= 10000
  2. 0 <= deck[i] < 10000

Solution 1: HashTable + Brute Force

Try all possible Xs. 2 ~ deck.size()

Time complexity: ~O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)

C++

Solution 2: HashTable + GCD

Time complexity: O(nlogn)

Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 908. Smallest Range I

Problem

Given an array A of integers, for each integer A[i] we may choose any x with -K <= x <= K, and add xto A[i].

After this process, we have some array B.

Return the smallest possible difference between the maximum value of B and the minimum value of B.

Example 1:

Input: A = [1], K = 0
Output: 0
Explanation: B = [1]

Example 2:

Input: A = [0,10], K = 2
Output: 6
Explanation: B = [2,8]

Example 3:

Input: A = [1,3,6], K = 3
Output: 0
Explanation: B = [3,3,3] or B = [4,4,4]

Note:

  1. 1 <= A.length <= 10000
  2. 0 <= A[i] <= 10000
  3. 0 <= K <= 10000

Solution 0: Brute Force (TLE)

Try all pairs

Time complexity: O(n^2)

Space complexity: O(1)

Solution 1: Math

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)

Find the min/max element of the array.

min + k v.s. max – k

ans = max(0, (max – min) – 2 * k))
