花花酱 LeetCode 1465. Maximum Area of a Piece of Cake After Horizontal and Vertical Cuts

Given a rectangular cake with height h and width w, and two arrays of integers horizontalCuts and verticalCuts where horizontalCuts[i] is the distance from the top of the rectangular cake to the ith horizontal cut and similarly, verticalCuts[j] is the distance from the left of the rectangular cake to the jth vertical cut.

Return the maximum area of a piece of cake after you cut at each horizontal and vertical position provided in the arrays horizontalCuts and verticalCutsSince the answer can be a huge number, return this modulo 10^9 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: h = 5, w = 4, horizontalCuts = [1,2,4], verticalCuts = [1,3]
Output: 4 
Explanation: The figure above represents the given rectangular cake. Red lines are the horizontal and vertical cuts. After you cut the cake, the green piece of cake has the maximum area.

Example 2:

Input: h = 5, w = 4, horizontalCuts = [3,1], verticalCuts = [1]
Output: 6
Explanation: The figure above represents the given rectangular cake. Red lines are the horizontal and vertical cuts. After you cut the cake, the green and yellow pieces of cake have the maximum area.

Example 3:

Input: h = 5, w = 4, horizontalCuts = [3], verticalCuts = [3]
Output: 9

Constraints:

  • 2 <= h, w <= 10^9
  • 1 <= horizontalCuts.length < min(h, 10^5)
  • 1 <= verticalCuts.length < min(w, 10^5)
  • 1 <= horizontalCuts[i] < h
  • 1 <= verticalCuts[i] < w
  • It is guaranteed that all elements in horizontalCuts are distinct.
  • It is guaranteed that all elements in verticalCuts are distinct.

Solution: Geometry

Find the max gap between vertical cuts mx and max gap between horizontal cuts my. ans = mx * my

Time complexity: O(nlogn)
Space complexity: O(1) if sort in place otherweise O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 1464. Maximum Product of Two Elements in an Array

Given the array of integers nums, you will choose two different indices i and j of that array. Return the maximum value of(nums[i]-1)*(nums[j]-1).

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,4,5,2]
Output: 12 
Explanation: If you choose the indices i=1 and j=2 (indexed from 0), you will get the maximum value, that is, (nums[1]-1)*(nums[2]-1) = (4-1)*(5-1) = 3*4 = 12. 

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,5,4,5]
Output: 16
Explanation: Choosing the indices i=1 and j=3 (indexed from 0), you will get the maximum value of (5-1)*(5-1) = 16.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [3,7]
Output: 12

Constraints:

  • 2 <= nums.length <= 500
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^3

Solution 1: Sort

We want to find the largest and second largest elements.

Time complexity: O(nlogn)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

Solution 2: Without sorting

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

花花酱 LeetCode 1463. Cherry Pickup II

Given a rows x cols matrix grid representing a field of cherries. Each cell in grid represents the number of cherries that you can collect.

You have two robots that can collect cherries for you, Robot #1 is located at the top-left corner (0,0) , and Robot #2 is located at the top-right corner (0, cols-1) of the grid.

Return the maximum number of cherries collection using both robots  by following the rules below:

  • From a cell (i,j), robots can move to cell (i+1, j-1) , (i+1, j) or (i+1, j+1).
  • When any robot is passing through a cell, It picks it up all cherries, and the cell becomes an empty cell (0).
  • When both robots stay on the same cell, only one of them takes the cherries.
  • Both robots cannot move outside of the grid at any moment.
  • Both robots should reach the bottom row in the grid.

Example 1:

Input: grid = [[3,1,1],[2,5,1],[1,5,5],[2,1,1]]
Output: 24
Explanation: Path of robot #1 and #2 are described in color green and blue respectively.
Cherries taken by Robot #1, (3 + 2 + 5 + 2) = 12.
Cherries taken by Robot #2, (1 + 5 + 5 + 1) = 12.
Total of cherries: 12 + 12 = 24.

Example 2:

Input: grid = [[1,0,0,0,0,0,1],[2,0,0,0,0,3,0],[2,0,9,0,0,0,0],[0,3,0,5,4,0,0],[1,0,2,3,0,0,6]]
Output: 28
Explanation: Path of robot #1 and #2 are described in color green and blue respectively.
Cherries taken by Robot #1, (1 + 9 + 5 + 2) = 17.
Cherries taken by Robot #2, (1 + 3 + 4 + 3) = 11.
Total of cherries: 17 + 11 = 28.

Example 3:

Input: grid = [[1,0,0,3],[0,0,0,3],[0,0,3,3],[9,0,3,3]]
Output: 22

Example 4:

Input: grid = [[1,1],[1,1]]
Output: 4

Constraints:

  • rows == grid.length
  • cols == grid[i].length
  • 2 <= rows, cols <= 70
  • 0 <= grid[i][j] <= 100 

Solution: DP

dp[y][x1][x2] := max cherry when ro1 at (x1, y) and ro2 at (x2, y)
dp[y][x1][x2] = max(dp[y+1][x1 + dx1][x2 + dx2]) -1 <= dx1, dx2 <= 1

花花酱 LeetCode 1462. Course Schedule IV

There are a total of n courses you have to take, labeled from 0 to n-1.

Some courses may have direct prerequisites, for example, to take course 0 you have first to take course 1, which is expressed as a pair: [1,0]

Given the total number of courses n, a list of direct prerequisite pairs and a list of queries pairs.

You should answer for each queries[i] whether the course queries[i][0] is a prerequisite of the course queries[i][1] or not.

Return a list of boolean, the answers to the given queries.

Please note that if course a is a prerequisite of course b and course b is a prerequisite of course c, then, course a is a prerequisite of course c.

Example 1:

Input: n = 2, prerequisites = [[1,0]], queries = [[0,1],[1,0]]
Output: [false,true]
Explanation: course 0 is not a prerequisite of course 1 but the opposite is true.

Example 2:

Input: n = 2, prerequisites = [], queries = [[1,0],[0,1]]
Output: [false,false]
Explanation: There are no prerequisites and each course is independent.

Example 3:

Input: n = 3, prerequisites = [[1,2],[1,0],[2,0]], queries = [[1,0],[1,2]]
Output: [true,true]

Example 4:

Input: n = 3, prerequisites = [[1,0],[2,0]], queries = [[0,1],[2,0]]
Output: [false,true]

Example 5:

Input: n = 5, prerequisites = [[0,1],[1,2],[2,3],[3,4]], queries = [[0,4],[4,0],[1,3],[3,0]]
Output: [true,false,true,false]

Constraints:

  • 2 <= n <= 100
  • 0 <= prerequisite.length <= (n * (n - 1) / 2)
  • 0 <= prerequisite[i][0], prerequisite[i][1] < n
  • prerequisite[i][0] != prerequisite[i][1]
  • The prerequisites graph has no cycles.
  • The prerequisites graph has no repeated edges.
  • 1 <= queries.length <= 10^4
  • queries[i][0] != queries[i][1]

Solution: Floyd-Warshall Algorithm (All pairs shortest paths)

花花酱 LeetCode 1461. Check If a String Contains All Binary Codes of Size K

Given a binary string s and an integer k.

Return True if any binary code of length k is a substring of s. Otherwise, return False.

Example 1:

Input: s = "00110110", k = 2
Output: true
Explanation: The binary codes of length 2 are "00", "01", "10" and "11". They can be all found as substrings at indicies 0, 1, 3 and 2 respectively.

Example 2:

Input: s = "00110", k = 2
Output: true

Example 3:

Input: s = "0110", k = 1
Output: true
Explanation: The binary codes of length 1 are "0" and "1", it is clear that both exist as a substring. 

Example 4:

Input: s = "0110", k = 2
Output: false
Explanation: The binary code "00" is of length 2 and doesn't exist in the array.

Example 5:

Input: s = "0000000001011100", k = 4
Output: false

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 5 * 10^5
  • s consists of 0’s and 1’s only.
  • 1 <= k <= 20

Solution: Hashtable

Insert all possible substrings into a hashtable, the size of the hashtable should be 2^k.

Time complexity: O(n*k)
Space complexity: O(2^k*k) -> O(2^k)
