花花酱 LeetCode 1452. People Whose List of Favorite Companies Is Not a Subset of Another List

Given the array favoriteCompanies where favoriteCompanies[i] is the list of favorites companies for the ith person (indexed from 0).

Return the indices of people whose list of favorite companies is not a subset of any other list of favorites companies. You must return the indices in increasing order.

Example 1:

Input: favoriteCompanies = [["leetcode","google","facebook"],["google","microsoft"],["google","facebook"],["google"],["amazon"]]
Output: [0,1,4] 
Explanation: 
Person with index=2 has favoriteCompanies[2]=["google","facebook"] which is a subset of favoriteCompanies[0]=["leetcode","google","facebook"] corresponding to the person with index 0. 
Person with index=3 has favoriteCompanies[3]=["google"] which is a subset of favoriteCompanies[0]=["leetcode","google","facebook"] and favoriteCompanies[1]=["google","microsoft"]. 
Other lists of favorite companies are not a subset of another list, therefore, the answer is [0,1,4].

Example 2:

Input: favoriteCompanies = [["leetcode","google","facebook"],["leetcode","amazon"],["facebook","google"]]
Output: [0,1] 
Explanation: In this case favoriteCompanies[2]=["facebook","google"] is a subset of favoriteCompanies[0]=["leetcode","google","facebook"], therefore, the answer is [0,1].

Example 3:

Input: favoriteCompanies = [["leetcode"],["google"],["facebook"],["amazon"]]
Output: [0,1,2,3]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= favoriteCompanies.length <= 100
  • 1 <= favoriteCompanies[i].length <= 500
  • 1 <= favoriteCompanies[i][j].length <= 20
  • All strings in favoriteCompanies[i] are distinct.
  • All lists of favorite companies are distinct, that is, If we sort alphabetically each list then favoriteCompanies[i] != favoriteCompanies[j].
  • All strings consist of lowercase English letters only.

Solution: Hashtable

Time complexity: O(n*n*m)
Space complexity: O(n*m)
where n is the # of people, m is the # of companies

花花酱 LeetCode 1451. Rearrange Words in a Sentence

Given a sentence text (A sentence is a string of space-separated words) in the following format:

  • First letter is in upper case.
  • Each word in text are separated by a single space.

Your task is to rearrange the words in text such that all words are rearranged in an increasing order of their lengths. If two words have the same length, arrange them in their original order.

Return the new text following the format shown above.

Example 1:

Input: text = "Leetcode is cool"
Output: "Is cool leetcode"
Explanation: There are 3 words, "Leetcode" of length 8, "is" of length 2 and "cool" of length 4.
Output is ordered by length and the new first word starts with capital letter.

Example 2:

Input: text = "Keep calm and code on"
Output: "On and keep calm code"
Explanation: Output is ordered as follows:
"On" 2 letters.
"and" 3 letters.
"keep" 4 letters in case of tie order by position in original text.
"calm" 4 letters.
"code" 4 letters.

Example 3:

Input: text = "To be or not to be"
Output: "To be or to be not"

Constraints:

  • text begins with a capital letter and then contains lowercase letters and single space between words.
  • 1 <= text.length <= 10^5

Solution: Stable sort

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

花花酱 LeetCode 1450. Number of Students Doing Homework at a Given Time

Given two integer arrays startTime and endTime and given an integer queryTime.

The ith student started doing their homework at the time startTime[i] and finished it at time endTime[i].

Return the number of students doing their homework at time queryTime. More formally, return the number of students where queryTime lays in the interval [startTime[i], endTime[i]] inclusive.

Example 1:

Input: startTime = [1,2,3], endTime = [3,2,7], queryTime = 4
Output: 1
Explanation: We have 3 students where:
The first student started doing homework at time 1 and finished at time 3 and wasn't doing anything at time 4.
The second student started doing homework at time 2 and finished at time 2 and also wasn't doing anything at time 4.
The third student started doing homework at time 3 and finished at time 7 and was the only student doing homework at time 4.

Example 2:

Input: startTime = [4], endTime = [4], queryTime = 4
Output: 1
Explanation: The only student was doing their homework at the queryTime.

Example 3:

Input: startTime = [4], endTime = [4], queryTime = 5
Output: 0

Example 4:

Input: startTime = [1,1,1,1], endTime = [1,3,2,4], queryTime = 7
Output: 0

Example 5:

Input: startTime = [9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1], endTime = [10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10], queryTime = 5
Output: 5

Constraints:

  • startTime.length == endTime.length
  • 1 <= startTime.length <= 100
  • 1 <= startTime[i] <= endTime[i] <= 1000
  • 1 <= queryTime <= 1000

Solution: Brute Force

花花酱 LeetCode 1444. Number of Ways of Cutting a Pizza

Given a rectangular pizza represented as a rows x cols matrix containing the following characters: 'A' (an apple) and '.' (empty cell) and given the integer k. You have to cut the pizza into k pieces using k-1 cuts. 

For each cut you choose the direction: vertical or horizontal, then you choose a cut position at the cell boundary and cut the pizza into two pieces. If you cut the pizza vertically, give the left part of the pizza to a person. If you cut the pizza horizontally, give the upper part of the pizza to a person. Give the last piece of pizza to the last person.

Return the number of ways of cutting the pizza such that each piece contains at least one apple. Since the answer can be a huge number, return this modulo 10^9 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: pizza = ["A..","AAA","..."], k = 3
Output: 3 
Explanation: The figure above shows the three ways to cut the pizza. Note that pieces must contain at least one apple.

Example 2:

Input: pizza = ["A..","AA.","..."], k = 3
Output: 1

Example 3:

Input: pizza = ["A..","A..","..."], k = 1
Output: 1

Constraints:

  • 1 <= rows, cols <= 50
  • rows == pizza.length
  • cols == pizza[i].length
  • 1 <= k <= 10
  • pizza consists of characters 'A' and '.' only.

Solution: DP

dp(n, m, k) := # of ways to cut pizza[n:N][m:M] with k cuts.

dp(n, m, k) = sum(hasApples(n, m, N – 1, y) * dp(y + 1, n, k – 1) for y in range(n, M)) + sum(hasApples(n, m, x, M – 1) * dp(m, x + 1, k – 1) for x in range(n, M))

Time complexity: O(M*N*(M+N)*K) = O(N^3 * K)
Space complexity: O(M*N*K)

花花酱 LeetCode 1442. Count Triplets That Can Form Two Arrays of Equal XOR

Given an array of integers arr.

We want to select three indices ij and k where (0 <= i < j <= k < arr.length).

Let’s define a and b as follows:

  • a = arr[i] ^ arr[i + 1] ^ ... ^ arr[j - 1]
  • b = arr[j] ^ arr[j + 1] ^ ... ^ arr[k]

Note that ^ denotes the bitwise-xor operation.

Return the number of triplets (ij and k) Where a == b.

Example 1:

Input: arr = [2,3,1,6,7]
Output: 4
Explanation: The triplets are (0,1,2), (0,2,2), (2,3,4) and (2,4,4)

Example 2:

Input: arr = [1,1,1,1,1]
Output: 10

Example 3:

Input: arr = [2,3]
Output: 0

Example 4:

Input: arr = [1,3,5,7,9]
Output: 3

Example 5:

Input: arr = [7,11,12,9,5,2,7,17,22]
Output: 8

Constraints:

  • 1 <= arr.length <= 300
  • 1 <= arr[i] <= 10^8

Solution 1: Brute Force (TLE)

Time complexity: O(n^4)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

Solution 2: Prefix XORs

Let xors[i] = arr[0] ^ arr[1] ^ … ^ arr[i-1]
arr[i] ^ arr[i + 1] ^ … ^ arr[j – 1] = (arr[0] ^ … ^ arr[j – 1]) ^ (arr[0] ^ … ^ arr[i-1]) = xors[j] ^ xors[i]

We then can compute a and b in O(1) time.

Time complexity: O(n^3)
Space complexity: O(n)

C++

Solution 3: Prefix XORs II

a = arr[i] ^ arr[i + 1] ^ … ^ arr[j – 1]
b = arr[j] ^ arr[j + 1] ^ … ^ arr[k]
a == b => a ^ b == 0
XORs(i ~ k) == 0
XORS(0 ~ k) ^ XORs(0 ~ i – 1) = 0

Problem => find all pairs of (i – 1, k) such that xors[k+1] == xors[i]
For each pair (i – 1, k), there are k – i positions we can insert j.

Time complexity: O(n^2)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

Solution 3: HashTable

Similar to target sum, use a hashtable to store the frequency of each prefix xors.

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