An integer x is called achievable if it can become equal to num after applying the following operation no more than t times:
Increase or decrease x by 1, and simultaneously increase or decrease num by 1.
Return the maximum possible achievable number. It can be proven that there exists at least one achievable number.
Example 1:
Input: num = 4, t = 1
Output: 6
Explanation: The maximum achievable number is x = 6; it can become equal to num after performing this operation:
1- Decrease x by 1, and increase num by 1. Now, x = 5 and num = 5.
It can be proven that there is no achievable number larger than 6.
Example 2:
Input: num = 3, t = 2
Output: 7
Explanation: The maximum achievable number is x = 7; after performing these operations, x will equal num:
1- Decrease x by 1, and increase num by 1. Now, x = 6 and num = 4.
2- Decrease x by 1, and increase num by 1. Now, x = 5 and num = 5.
It can be proven that there is no achievable number larger than 7.
Constraints:
1 <= num, t <= 50
Solution: Greedy
Always decrease x and always increase num, the max achievable number x = num + t * 2
Write a function createHelloWorld. It should return a new function that always returns "Hello World".
Example 1:
Input: args = []
Output: "Hello World"
Explanation:
const f = createHelloWorld();
f(); // "Hello World"
The function returned by createHelloWorld should always return "Hello World".
Example 2:
Input: args = [{},null,42]
Output: "Hello World"
Explanation:
const f = createHelloWorld();
f({}, null, 42); // "Hello World"
Any arguments could be passed to the function but it should still always return "Hello World".
You are given an array start where start = [startX, startY] represents your initial position (startX, startY) in a 2D space. You are also given the array target where target = [targetX, targetY] represents your target position (targetX, targetY).
The cost of going from a position (x1, y1) to any other position in the space (x2, y2) is |x2 - x1| + |y2 - y1|.
There are also some special roads. You are given a 2D array specialRoads where specialRoads[i] = [x1i, y1i, x2i, y2i, costi] indicates that the ith special road can take you from (x1i, y1i) to (x2i, y2i) with a cost equal to costi. You can use each special road any number of times.
Return the minimum cost required to go from(startX, startY) to (targetX, targetY).
Example 1:
Input: start = [1,1], target = [4,5], specialRoads = [[1,2,3,3,2],[3,4,4,5,1]]
Output: 5
Explanation: The optimal path from (1,1) to (4,5) is the following:
- (1,1) -> (1,2). This move has a cost of |1 - 1| + |2 - 1| = 1.
- (1,2) -> (3,3). This move uses the first special edge, the cost is 2.
- (3,3) -> (3,4). This move has a cost of |3 - 3| + |4 - 3| = 1.
- (3,4) -> (4,5). This move uses the second special edge, the cost is 1.
So the total cost is 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 5.
It can be shown that we cannot achieve a smaller total cost than 5.
Example 2:
Input: start = [3,2], target = [5,7], specialRoads = [[3,2,3,4,4],[3,3,5,5,5],[3,4,5,6,6]]
Output: 7
Explanation: It is optimal to not use any special edges and go directly from the starting to the ending position with a cost |5 - 3| + |7 - 2| = 7.
Constraints:
start.length == target.length == 2
1 <= startX <= targetX <= 105
1 <= startY <= targetY <= 105
1 <= specialRoads.length <= 200
specialRoads[i].length == 5
startX <= x1i, x2i <= targetX
startY <= y1i, y2i <= targetY
1 <= costi <= 105
Solution: Dijkstra
Create a node for each point in special edges as well as start and target.
Add edges for special roads (note it’s directional)
Add edges for each pair of node with default cost, i.e. |x1-x2| + |y1-y2|
Run Dijkstra’s algorithm

You are given a 0-indexed integer array arr, and an m x n integer matrixmat. arr and mat both contain all the integers in the range [1, m * n].
Go through each index i in arr starting from index 0 and paint the cell in mat containing the integer arr[i].
Return the smallest indexiat which either a row or a column will be completely painted inmat.
Example 1:
Input: arr = [1,3,4,2], mat = [[1,4],[2,3]]
Output: 2
Explanation: The moves are shown in order, and both the first row and second column of the matrix become fully painted at arr[2].
Example 2:
Input: arr = [2,8,7,4,1,3,5,6,9], mat = [[3,2,5],[1,4,6],[8,7,9]]
Output: 3
Explanation: The second column becomes fully painted at arr[3].
Constraints:
m == mat.length
n = mat[i].length
arr.length == m * n
1 <= m, n <= 105
1 <= m * n <= 105
1 <= arr[i], mat[r][c] <= m * n
All the integers of arr are unique.
All the integers of mat are unique.
Solution: Map + Counter
Use a map to store the position of each integer.
Use row counters and column counters to track how many elements have been painted.
