花花酱 LeetCode 2223. Sum of Scores of Built Strings

By zxi on April 2, 2022

You are building a string s of length n one character at a time, prepending each new character to the front of the string. The strings are labeled from 1 to n, where the string with length i is labeled s_i.

For example, for s = "abaca", s₁ == "a", s₂ == "ca", s₃ == "aca", etc.

The score of s_i is the length of the longest common prefix between s_i and s_n (Note that s == s_n).

Given the final string s, return the sum of the score of every s_i.

Example 1:

Input: s = "babab"
Output: 9
Explanation:
For s₁ == "b", the longest common prefix is "b" which has a score of 1.
For s₂ == "ab", there is no common prefix so the score is 0.
For s₃ == "bab", the longest common prefix is "bab" which has a score of 3.
For s₄ == "abab", there is no common prefix so the score is 0.
For s₅ == "babab", the longest common prefix is "babab" which has a score of 5.
The sum of the scores is 1 + 0 + 3 + 0 + 5 = 9, so we return 9.

Example 2:

Input: s = "azbazbzaz"
Output: 14
Explanation: 
For s₂ == "az", the longest common prefix is "az" which has a score of 2.
For s₆ == "azbzaz", the longest common prefix is "azb" which has a score of 3.
For s₉ == "azbazbzaz", the longest common prefix is "azbazbzaz" which has a score of 9.
For all other s_i, the score is 0.
The sum of the scores is 2 + 3 + 9 = 14, so we return 14.

Constraints:

1 <= s.length <= 10⁵
s consists of lowercase English letters.

Solution: Z-Function

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

long long sumScores(string s) {

auto zFunc = [](string_view s) {

const int n = s.length();

vector<long long> z(n);

for (long long i = 1, l = 0, r = 0; i < n; ++i) {

if (i <= r)

z[i] = min(r - i + 1, z[i - l]);

while (i + z[i] < n && s[z[i]] == s[i + z[i]])

++z[i];

if (i + z[i] - 1 > r) {

l = i;

r = i + z[i] - 1;

}

return accumulate(begin(z), end(z), 0LL);

};

return zFunc(s) + s.length();

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 2194. Cells in a Range on an Excel Sheet

By zxi on March 8, 2022

A cell (r, c) of an excel sheet is represented as a string "<col><row>" where:

<col> denotes the column number c of the cell. It is represented by alphabetical letters.
- For example, the 1^st column is denoted by 'A', the 2^nd by 'B', the 3^rd by 'C', and so on.
<row> is the row number r of the cell. The r^th row is represented by the integer r.

You are given a string s in the format "<col1><row1>:<col2><row2>", where <col1> represents the column c1, <row1> represents the row r1, <col2> represents the column c2, and <row2> represents the row r2, such that r1 <= r2 and c1 <= c2.

Return the list of cells (x, y) such that r1 <= x <= r2 and c1 <= y <= c2. The cells should be represented as strings in the format mentioned above and be sorted in non-decreasing order first by columns and then by rows.

Example 1:

Input: s = "K1:L2"
Output: ["K1","K2","L1","L2"]
Explanation:
The above diagram shows the cells which should be present in the list.
The red arrows denote the order in which the cells should be presented.

Example 2:

Input: s = "A1:F1"
Output: ["A1","B1","C1","D1","E1","F1"]
Explanation:
The above diagram shows the cells which should be present in the list.
The red arrow denotes the order in which the cells should be presented.

Constraints:

s.length == 5
'A' <= s[0] <= s[3] <= 'Z'
'1' <= s[1] <= s[4] <= '9'
s consists of uppercase English letters, digits and ':'.

Solution: Brute Force

Time complexity: O((row2 – row1 + 1) * (col2 – col1 + 1))
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<string> cellsInRange(string s) {

vector<string> ans;

for (char c = s[0]; c <= s[3]; ++c)

for (char r = s[1]; r <= s[4]; ++r)

ans.push_back(string{c, r});

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 2180. Count Integers With Even Digit Sum

By zxi on February 28, 2022

Given a positive integer num, return the number of positive integers less than or equal to num whose digit sums are even.

The digit sum of a positive integer is the sum of all its digits.

Example 1:

Input: num = 4
Output: 2
Explanation:
The only integers less than or equal to 4 whose digit sums are even are 2 and 4.

Example 2:

Input: num = 30
Output: 14
Explanation:
The 14 integers less than or equal to 30 whose digit sums are even are
2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28.

Constraints:

1 <= num <= 1000

Solution: Brute Force

Use std::to_string to convert an integer to string.

Time complexity: O(nlgn)
Space complexity: O(lgn)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int countEven(int num) {

int ans = 0;

for (int i = 1; i <= num; ++i) {

int sum = 0;

for (char c : to_string(i))

sum += (c - '0');

if (sum % 2 == 0) ++ans;

}

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 2185. Counting Words With a Given Prefix

By zxi on February 26, 2022

You are given an array of strings words and a string pref.

Return the number of strings in words that contain pref as a prefix.

A prefix of a string s is any leading contiguous substring of s.

Example 1:

Input: words = ["pay","attention","practice","attend"], pref = "at"
Output: 2
Explanation: The 2 strings that contain "at" as a prefix are: "attention" and "attend".

Example 2:

Input: words = ["leetcode","win","loops","success"], pref = "code"
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no strings that contain "code" as a prefix.

Constraints:

1 <= words.length <= 100
1 <= words[i].length, pref.length <= 100
words[i] and pref consist of lowercase English letters.

Solution: Straight forward

We can use std::count_if and std::string::find.

Time complexity: O(n*l)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int prefixCount(vector<string>& words, string pref) {

return count_if(begin(words), end(words), [&](const string& w) {

return w.find(pref) == 0;

});

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 2138. Divide a String Into Groups of Size k

By zxi on January 30, 2022

A string s can be partitioned into groups of size k using the following procedure:

The first group consists of the first k characters of the string, the second group consists of the next k characters of the string, and so on. Each character can be a part of exactly one group.
For the last group, if the string does not have k characters remaining, a character fill is used to complete the group.

Note that the partition is done so that after removing the fill character from the last group (if it exists) and concatenating all the groups in order, the resultant string should be s.

Given the string s, the size of each group k and the character fill, return a string array denoting the composition of every group s has been divided into, using the above procedure.

Example 1:

Input: s = "abcdefghi", k = 3, fill = "x"
Output: ["abc","def","ghi"]
Explanation:
The first 3 characters "abc" form the first group.
The next 3 characters "def" form the second group.
The last 3 characters "ghi" form the third group.
Since all groups can be completely filled by characters from the string, we do not need to use fill.
Thus, the groups formed are "abc", "def", and "ghi".

Example 2:

Input: s = "abcdefghij", k = 3, fill = "x"
Output: ["abc","def","ghi","jxx"]
Explanation:
Similar to the previous example, we are forming the first three groups "abc", "def", and "ghi".
For the last group, we can only use the character 'j' from the string. To complete this group, we add 'x' twice.
Thus, the 4 groups formed are "abc", "def", "ghi", and "jxx".

Constraints:

1 <= s.length <= 100
s consists of lowercase English letters only.
1 <= k <= 100
fill is a lowercase English letter.

Solution: Pre-fill

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<string> divideString(string s, int k, char fill) {

if (s.length() % k)

s.append(k - s.length() % k, fill);

vector<string> ans;

for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i += k)

ans.push_back(s.substr(i, k));

return ans;

}

};
