花花酱 LeetCode 99. Recover Binary Search Tree

Two elements of a binary search tree (BST) are swapped by mistake.

Recover the tree without changing its structure.

Example 1:

Input: [1,3,null,null,2]

   1
  /
 3
  \
   2

Output: [3,1,null,null,2]

   3
  /
 1
  \
   2

Example 2:

Input: [3,1,4,null,null,2]

  3
 / \
1   4
   /
  2

Output: [2,1,4,null,null,3]

  2
 / \
1   4
   /
  3

Follow up:

  • A solution using O(n) space is pretty straight forward.
  • Could you devise a constant space solution?

Solution: Inorder traversal

Using inorder traversal to find two nodes that have val < prev.val

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

花花酱 LeetCode 96. Unique Binary Search Trees

Given n, how many structurally unique BST’s (binary search trees) that store values 1 … n?

Example:

Input: 3
Output: 5
Explanation:
Given n = 3, there are a total of 5 unique BST's:

   1         3     3      2      1
    \       /     /      / \      \
     3     2     1      1   3      2
    /     /       \                 \
   2     1         2                 3

Solution: DP

dp[i] = sum(dp[j] * dp[i – j – 1]) (0 <= j < i )

root: 1 node
left child: j nodes
right child i – j – 1 nodes

try all possible partitions

ans = dp[n]

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

花花酱 LeetCode 528. Random Pick with Weight

Given an array w of positive integers, where w[i] describes the weight of index i, write a function pickIndex which randomly picks an index in proportion to its weight.

Note:

  1. 1 <= w.length <= 10000
  2. 1 <= w[i] <= 10^5
  3. pickIndex will be called at most 10000 times.

Example 1:

Input: 
["Solution","pickIndex"]
[[[1]],[]]
Output: [null,0]

Example 2:

Input: 
["Solution","pickIndex","pickIndex","pickIndex","pickIndex","pickIndex"]
[[[1,3]],[],[],[],[],[]]
Output: [null,0,1,1,1,0]

Explanation of Input Syntax:

The input is two lists: the subroutines called and their arguments. Solution‘s constructor has one argument, the array wpickIndex has no arguments. Arguments are always wrapped with a list, even if there aren’t any.

Solution: Binary Search

Crate a cumulative weight array, random sample a “weight”, do a binary search to see which bucket that weight falls in.
e.g. w = [2, 3, 1, 4], sum = [2, 5, 6, 10]
sample 3 => index = 1
sample 7 => index = 3

Time complexity: Init: O(n) Pick: O(logn)
Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 60. Permutation Sequence

The set [1,2,3,...,n] contains a total of n! unique permutations.

By listing and labeling all of the permutations in order, we get the following sequence for n = 3:

  1. "123"
  2. "132"
  3. "213"
  4. "231"
  5. "312"
  6. "321"

Given n and k, return the kth permutation sequence.

Note:

  • Given n will be between 1 and 9 inclusive.
  • Given k will be between 1 and n! inclusive.

Example 1:

Input: n = 3, k = 3
Output: "213"

Example 2:

Input: n = 4, k = 9
Output: "2314"

Solution: Math

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

花花酱 LeetCode 59. Spiral Matrix II

Given a positive integer n, generate a square matrix filled with elements from 1 to n2 in spiral order.

Example:

Input: 3
Output:
[
 [ 1, 2, 3 ],
 [ 8, 9, 4 ],
 [ 7, 6, 5 ]
]

Solution: Simulation

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