花花酱 LeetCode 916. Word Subsets

By zxi on September 30, 2018

Problem

We are given two arrays A and B of words. Each word is a string of lowercase letters.

Now, say that word b is a subset of word a if every letter in b occurs in a, including multiplicity. For example, "wrr" is a subset of "warrior", but is not a subset of "world".

Now say a word a from A is universal if for every b in B, b is a subset of a.

Return a list of all universal words in A. You can return the words in any order.

Example 1:

Input: A = ["amazon","apple","facebook","google","leetcode"], B = ["e","o"]
Output: ["facebook","google","leetcode"]

Example 2:

Input: A = ["amazon","apple","facebook","google","leetcode"], B = ["l","e"]
Output: ["apple","google","leetcode"]

Example 3:

Input: A = ["amazon","apple","facebook","google","leetcode"], B = ["e","oo"]
Output: ["facebook","google"]

Example 4:

Input: A = ["amazon","apple","facebook","google","leetcode"], B = ["lo","eo"]
Output: ["google","leetcode"]

Example 5:

Input: A = ["amazon","apple","facebook","google","leetcode"], B = ["ec","oc","ceo"]
Output: ["facebook","leetcode"]

Note:

1 <= A.length, B.length <= 10000
1 <= A[i].length, B[i].length <= 10
A[i] and B[i] consist only of lowercase letters.
All words in A[i] are unique: there isn’t i != j with A[i] == A[j].

Solution: Hashtable

Find the max requirement for each letter from B.

Time complexity: O(|A|+|B|)

Space complexity: O(26)

C++

// Author: Huahua, 104 ms

class Solution {

public:

vector<string> wordSubsets(vector<string>& A, vector<string>& B) {

vector<int> req(26);

for (const string& b : B) {

vector<int> cur(getCount(b));

for (int i = 0; i < 26; ++i)

req[i] = max(req[i], cur[i]);

}

vector<string> ans;

for (const string& a : A) {

vector<int> cur(getCount(a));

bool universal = true;

for (int i = 0; i < 26; ++i)

if (cur[i] < req[i]) {

universal = false;

break;

}

if (universal) ans.push_back(a);

}

return ans;

}

private:

vector<int> getCount(const string& a) {

vector<int> count(26);

for (char c : a)

++count[c - 'a'];

return count;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 14. Longest Common Prefix

By zxi on September 19, 2018

Problem

Write a function to find the longest common prefix string amongst an array of strings.

If there is no common prefix, return an empty string "".

Example 1:

Input: ["flower","flow","flight"]
Output: "fl"

Example 2:

Input: ["dog","racecar","car"]
Output: ""
Explanation: There is no common prefix among the input strings.

Note:

All given inputs are in lowercase letters a-z.

Solution: Brute Force

Time complexity: O(mk), where k the length of common prefix.

Space complexity: O(k)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

string longestCommonPrefix(vector<string>& strs) {

if (strs.empty()) return "";

string ans;

for (int i = 0; i < strs[0].size(); ++i) {

for (const string& s : strs)

if (s.length() <= i || s[i] != strs[0][i]) return ans;

ans += strs[0][i];

}

return ans;

}

};

Java

Time complexity: (mk + k^2)

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public String longestCommonPrefix(String[] strs) {

if (strs.length == 0) return "";

String ans = new String();

for (int i = 0; i < strs[0].length(); ++i) {

char c = strs[0].charAt(i);

for (String s : strs)

if (s.length() <= i || s.charAt(i) != c) return ans;

ans += c;

}

return ans;

}

Python3

# Author: Huahua

class Solution:

def longestCommonPrefix(self, strs):

if not strs: return ""

ans = ""

for i in range(len(strs[0])):

for s in strs:

if len(s) <= i or s[i] != strs[0][i]: return ans

ans += strs[0][i]

return ans

花花酱 LeetCode 13. Roman to Integer

By zxi on September 19, 2018

Problem

Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D and M.

Symbol       Value
I             1
V             5
X             10
L             50
C             100
D             500
M             1000

For example, two is written as II in Roman numeral, just two one’s added together. Twelve is written as, XII, which is simply X + II. The number twenty seven is written as XXVII, which is XX + V + II.

Roman numerals are usually written largest to smallest from left to right. However, the numeral for four is not IIII. Instead, the number four is written as IV. Because the one is before the five we subtract it making four. The same principle applies to the number nine, which is written as IX. There are six instances where subtraction is used:

I can be placed before V (5) and X (10) to make 4 and 9.
X can be placed before L (50) and C (100) to make 40 and 90.
C can be placed before D (500) and M (1000) to make 400 and 900.

Given a roman numeral, convert it to an integer. Input is guaranteed to be within the range from 1 to 3999.

Example 1:

Input: "III"
Output: 3

Example 2:

Input: "IV"
Output: 4

Example 3:

Input: "IX"
Output: 9

Example 4:

Input: "LVIII"
Output: 58
Explanation: C = 100, L = 50, XXX = 30 and III = 3.

Example 5:

Input: "MCMXCIV"
Output: 1994
Explanation: M = 1000, CM = 900, XC = 90 and IV = 4.

Solution

accumulate the value of each letter.

If the value of current letter is greater than the previous one, deduct twice of the previous value.

e.g. IX, 1 + 10 – 2 * 1 = 9 instead of 1 + 10 = 11

花花酱 LeetCode 10. Regular Expression Matching

By zxi on September 17, 2018

Problem

Given an input string (s) and a pattern (p), implement regular expression matching with support for '.' and '*'.

'.' Matches any single character.
'*' Matches zero or more of the preceding element.

The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).

Note:

s could be empty and contains only lowercase letters a-z.
p could be empty and contains only lowercase letters a-z, and characters like . or *.

Example 1:

Input:
s = "aa"
p = "a"
Output: false
Explanation: "a" does not match the entire string "aa".

Example 2:

Input:
s = "aa"
p = "a*"
Output: true
Explanation: '*' means zero or more of the precedeng element, 'a'. Therefore, by repeating 'a' once, it becomes "aa".

Example 3:

Input:
s = "ab"
p = ".*"
Output: true
Explanation: ".*" means "zero or more (*) of any character (.)".

Example 4:

Input:
s = "aab"
p = "c*a*b"
Output: true
Explanation: c can be repeated 0 times, a can be repeated 1 time. Therefore it matches "aab".

Example 5:

Input:
s = "mississippi"
p = "mis*is*p*."
Output: false

Solution 1: Recursion

Time complexity: O((|s| + |p|) * 2 ^ (|s| + |p|))

Space complexity: O(|s| + |p|)

C++

// Author: Huahua, 14 ms

class Solution {

public:

bool isMatch(string s, string p) {

return isMatch(s.c_str(), p.c_str());

}

private:

bool isMatch(const char* s, const char* p) {

if (*p == '\0') return *s == '\0';

// normal case, e.g. 'a.b','aaa', 'a'

if (p[1] != '*' || p[1] == '\0') {

// no char to match

if (*s == '\0') return false;

if (*s == *p || *p == '.')

return isMatch(s + 1, p + 1);

else

return false;

}

else {

int i = -1;

while (i == -1 || s[i] == p[0] || p[0] == '.') {

if (isMatch(s + i + 1, p + 2)) return true;

if (s[++i] == '\0') break;

}

return false;

}

return false;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 6. ZigZag Conversion

By zxi on September 12, 2018

Problem

The string "PAYPALISHIRING" is written in a zigzag pattern on a given number of rows like this: (you may want to display this pattern in a fixed font for better legibility)

P   A   H   N
A P L S I I G
Y   I   R

And then read line by line: "PAHNAPLSIIGYIR"

Write the code that will take a string and make this conversion given a number of rows:

string convert(string s, int numRows);

Example 1:
<preclass=”crayon:false”>Input: s = “PAYPALISHIRING”, numRows = 3 Output: “PAHNAPLSIIGYIR”

Example 2:

Input: s = "PAYPALISHIRING", numRows = 4
Output: "PINALSIGYAHRPI"
Explanation:

P     I    N
A   L S  I G
Y A   H R
P     I

Solution: Simulation

Store the zigzag results for each row and then output row by row.

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

string convert(string s, int nRows) {

if (nRows == 1) return s;

vector<string> ss(nRows);

int l = s.length();

int x = 0, y = 0, i = 0;

bool down = true;

while (i < l) {

ss[y] += s[i];

if (down) {

++y;

if (y == nRows) {

down = false;

y -=2;

}

} else {

--y;

if (y < 0) {

down = true;

y = 1;

}

i++;

}

string ans;

for(const string& r : ss)

ans += r;

return ans;

}

};
