花花酱 LeetCode 1298. Maximum Candies You Can Get from Boxes

Given n boxes, each box is given in the format [status, candies, keys, containedBoxes] where:

  • status[i]: an integer which is 1 if box[i] is open and 0 if box[i] is closed.
  • candies[i]: an integer representing the number of candies in box[i].
  • keys[i]: an array contains the indices of the boxes you can open with the key in box[i].
  • containedBoxes[i]: an array contains the indices of the boxes found in box[i].

You will start with some boxes given in initialBoxes array. You can take all the candies in any open box and you can use the keys in it to open new boxes and you also can use the boxes you find in it.

Return the maximum number of candies you can get following the rules above.

Example 1:

Input: status = [1,0,1,0], candies = [7,5,4,100], keys = [[],[],[1],[]], containedBoxes = [[1,2],[3],[],[]], initialBoxes = [0]
Output: 16
Explanation: You will be initially given box 0. You will find 7 candies in it and boxes 1 and 2. Box 1 is closed and you don't have a key for it so you will open box 2. You will find 4 candies and a key to box 1 in box 2.
In box 1, you will find 5 candies and box 3 but you will not find a key to box 3 so box 3 will remain closed.
Total number of candies collected = 7 + 4 + 5 = 16 candy.

Example 2:

Input: status = [1,0,0,0,0,0], candies = [1,1,1,1,1,1], keys = [[1,2,3,4,5],[],[],[],[],[]], containedBoxes = [[1,2,3,4,5],[],[],[],[],[]], initialBoxes = [0]
Output: 6
Explanation: You have initially box 0. Opening it you can find boxes 1,2,3,4 and 5 and their keys. The total number of candies will be 6.

Example 3:

Input: status = [1,1,1], candies = [100,1,100], keys = [[],[0,2],[]], containedBoxes = [[],[],[]], initialBoxes = [1]
Output: 1

Example 4:

Input: status = [1], candies = [100], keys = [[]], containedBoxes = [[]], initialBoxes = []
Output: 0

Example 5:

Input: status = [1,1,1], candies = [2,3,2], keys = [[],[],[]], containedBoxes = [[],[],[]], initialBoxes = [2,1,0]
Output: 7

Constraints:

  • 1 <= status.length <= 1000
  • status.length == candies.length == keys.length == containedBoxes.length == n
  • status[i] is 0 or 1.
  • 1 <= candies[i] <= 1000
  • 0 <= keys[i].length <= status.length
  • 0 <= keys[i][j] < status.length
  • All values in keys[i] are unique.
  • 0 <= containedBoxes[i].length <= status.length
  • 0 <= containedBoxes[i][j] < status.length
  • All values in containedBoxes[i] are unique.
  • Each box is contained in one box at most.
  • 0 <= initialBoxes.length <= status.length
  • 0 <= initialBoxes[i] < status.length

Solution: BFS

Only push boxes that we can open into the queue.

When can we open the box?
1. When we find it and have the key in hand.
2. When we find the key and have the box in hand.

Time complexity: O(B + K)
Space complexity: O(B)

花花酱 LeetCode 1284. Minimum Number of Flips to Convert Binary Matrix to Zero Matrix

Given a m x n binary matrix mat. In one step, you can choose one cell and flip it and all the four neighbours of it if they exist (Flip is changing 1 to 0 and 0 to 1). A pair of cells are called neighboors if they share one edge.

Return the minimum number of steps required to convert mat to a zero matrix or -1 if you cannot.

Binary matrix is a matrix with all cells equal to 0 or 1 only.

Zero matrix is a matrix with all cells equal to 0.

Example 1:

Input: mat = [[0,0],[0,1]]
Output: 3
Explanation: One possible solution is to flip (1, 0) then (0, 1) and finally (1, 1) as shown.

Example 2:

Input: mat = [[0]]
Output: 0
Explanation: Given matrix is a zero matrix. We don't need to change it.

Example 3:

Input: mat = [[1,1,1],[1,0,1],[0,0,0]]
Output: 6

Example 4:

Input: mat = [[1,0,0],[1,0,0]]
Output: -1
Explanation: Given matrix can't be a zero matrix

Constraints:

  • m == mat.length
  • n == mat[0].length
  • 1 <= m <= 3
  • 1 <= n <= 3
  • mat[i][j] is 0 or 1.

Solution: BFS + bitmask

花花酱 LeetCode 1263. Minimum Moves to Move a Box to Their Target Location

Storekeeper is a game in which the player pushes boxes around in a warehouse trying to get them to target locations.

The game is represented by a grid of size n*m, where each element is a wall, floor, or a box.

Your task is move the box 'B' to the target position 'T' under the following rules:

  • Player is represented by character 'S' and can move up, down, left, right in the grid if it is a floor (empy cell).
  • Floor is represented by character '.' that means free cell to walk.
  • Wall is represented by character '#' that means obstacle  (impossible to walk there). 
  • There is only one box 'B' and one target cell 'T' in the grid.
  • The box can be moved to an adjacent free cell by standing next to the box and then moving in the direction of the box. This is a push.
  • The player cannot walk through the box.

Return the minimum number of pushes to move the box to the target. If there is no way to reach the target, return -1.

Example 1:

Input: grid = [["#","#","#","#","#","#"],
               ["#","T","#","#","#","#"],
               ["#",".",".","B",".","#"],
               ["#",".","#","#",".","#"],
               ["#",".",".",".","S","#"],
               ["#","#","#","#","#","#"]]
Output: 3
Explanation: We return only the number of times the box is pushed.

Example 2:

Input: grid = [["#","#","#","#","#","#"],
               ["#","T","#","#","#","#"],
               ["#",".",".","B",".","#"],
               ["#","#","#","#",".","#"],
               ["#",".",".",".","S","#"],
               ["#","#","#","#","#","#"]]
Output: -1

Example 3:

Input: grid = [["#","#","#","#","#","#"],
               ["#","T",".",".","#","#"],
               ["#",".","#","B",".","#"],
               ["#",".",".",".",".","#"],
               ["#",".",".",".","S","#"],
               ["#","#","#","#","#","#"]]
Output: 5
Explanation:  push the box down, left, left, up and up.

Example 4:

Input: grid = [["#","#","#","#","#","#","#"],
               ["#","S","#",".","B","T","#"],
               ["#","#","#","#","#","#","#"]]
Output: -1

Constraints:

  • 1 <= grid.length <= 20
  • 1 <= grid[i].length <= 20
  • grid contains only characters '.''#',  'S' , 'T', or 'B'.
  • There is only one character 'S''B' and 'T' in the grid.

Solution: BFS + DFS

BFS to search by push steps to find miminal number of pushes. Each time we move from the previous position (initial position or last push position) to a new push position. Use DFS to check that whether that path exist or not.

C++

Solution: A* + BFS

g : history = # of pushes
h: heuristics = Manhattan distance from the current box position to the target position, always <= actual moves.
f = g + h

花花酱 LeetCode 1255. Maximum Score Words Formed by Letters

Given a list of words, list of  single letters (might be repeating) and score of every character.

Return the maximum score of any valid set of words formed by using the given letters (words[i] cannot be used two or more times).

It is not necessary to use all characters in letters and each letter can only be used once. Score of letters 'a''b''c', … ,'z' is given by score[0]score[1], … , score[25] respectively.

Example 1:

Input: words = ["dog","cat","dad","good"], letters = ["a","a","c","d","d","d","g","o","o"], score = [1,0,9,5,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
Output: 23
Explanation:
Score  a=1, c=9, d=5, g=3, o=2
Given letters, we can form the words "dad" (5+1+5) and "good" (3+2+2+5) with a score of 23.
Words "dad" and "dog" only get a score of 21.

Example 2:

Input: words = ["xxxz","ax","bx","cx"], letters = ["z","a","b","c","x","x","x"], score = [4,4,4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,5,0,10]
Output: 27
Explanation:
Score  a=4, b=4, c=4, x=5, z=10
Given letters, we can form the words "ax" (4+5), "bx" (4+5) and "cx" (4+5) with a score of 27.
Word "xxxz" only get a score of 25.

Example 3:

Input: words = ["leetcode"], letters = ["l","e","t","c","o","d"], score = [0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0]

花花酱 LeetCode 1254. Number of Closed Islands

Given a 2D grid consists of 0s (land) and 1s (water).  An island is a maximal 4-directionally connected group of 0s and a closed island is an island totally (all left, top, right, bottom) surrounded by 1s.

Return the number of closed islands.

Example 1:

Input: grid = [[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0],[1,0,0,0,0,1,1,0],[1,0,1,0,1,1,1,0],[1,0,0,0,0,1,0,1],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0]]
Output: 2
Explanation: 
Islands in gray are closed because they are completely surrounded by water (group of 1s).

Example 2:

Input: grid = [[0,0,1,0,0],[0,1,0,1,0],[0,1,1,1,0]]
Output: 1

Example 3:

Input: grid = [[1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
               [1,0,0,0,0,0,1],
               [1,0,1,1,1,0,1],
               [1,0,1,0,1,0,1],
               [1,0,1,1,1,0,1],
               [1,0,0,0,0,0,1],
               [1,1,1,1,1,1,1]]
Output: 2

Constraints:

  • 1 <= grid.length, grid[0].length <= 100
  • 0 <= grid[i][j] <=1

Solution: DFS/Backtracking

For each connected component, if it can reach the boundary then it’s not a closed island.
