花花酱 LeetCode 997. Find the Town Judge

In a town, there are N people labelled from 1 to N.  There is a rumor that one of these people is secretly the town judge.

If the town judge exists, then:

  1. The town judge trusts nobody.
  2. Everybody (except for the town judge) trusts the town judge.
  3. There is exactly one person that satisfies properties 1 and 2.

You are given trust, an array of pairs trust[i] = [a, b] representing that the person labelled a trusts the person labelled b.

If the town judge exists and can be identified, return the label of the town judge.  Otherwise, return -1.

Example 1:

Input: N = 2, trust = [[1,2]]
Output: 2

Example 2:

Input: N = 3, trust = [[1,3],[2,3]]
Output: 3

Example 3:

Input: N = 3, trust = [[1,3],[2,3],[3,1]]
Output: -1

Example 4:

Input: N = 3, trust = [[1,2],[2,3]]
Output: -1

Example 5:

Input: N = 4, trust = [[1,3],[1,4],[2,3],[2,4],[4,3]]
Output: 3

Note:

  1. 1 <= N <= 1000
  2. trust.length <= 10000
  3. trust[i] are all different
  4. trust[i][0] != trust[i][1]
  5. 1 <= trust[i][0], trust[i][1] <= N

Solution: Degree

node with degree (in_degree – out_degree) N – 1 is the judge.

Time complexity: O(N+T)
Space complexity: O(N)

花花酱 LeetCode 996. Number of Squareful Arrays

Given an array A of non-negative integers, the array is squareful if for every pair of adjacent elements, their sum is a perfect square.

Return the number of permutations of A that are squareful.  Two permutations A1 and A2 differ if and only if there is some index i such that A1[i] != A2[i].

Example 1:

Input: [1,17,8]
Output: 2
Explanation: 
[1,8,17] and [17,8,1] are the valid permutations.

Example 2:

Input: [2,2,2]
Output: 1

Note:

  1. 1 <= A.length <= 12
  2. 0 <= A[i] <= 1e9

Solution1: DFS

Try all permutations with pruning.

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

C++

Solution 2: DP Hamiltonian Path

dp[s][i] := # of ways to reach state s (binary mask of nodes visited) that ends with node i

dp[s | (1 << j)][j] += dp[s][i] if g[i][j]

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

花花酱 LeetCode 995. Minimum Number of K Consecutive Bit Flips

In an array A containing only 0s and 1s, a K-bit flip consists of choosing a (contiguous) subarray of length K and simultaneously changing every 0 in the subarray to 1, and every 1 in the subarray to 0.

Return the minimum number of K-bit flips required so that there is no 0 in the array.  If it is not possible, return -1.

Example 1:

Input: A = [0,1,0], K = 1
Output: 2
Explanation: Flip A[0], then flip A[2].

Example 2:

Input: A = [1,1,0], K = 2
Output: -1
Explanation: No matter how we flip subarrays of size 2, we can't make the array become [1,1,1].

Example 3:

Input: A = [0,0,0,1,0,1,1,0], K = 3
Output: 3
Explanation:
Flip A[0],A[1],A[2]: A becomes [1,1,1,1,0,1,1,0]
Flip A[4],A[5],A[6]: A becomes [1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0]
Flip A[5],A[6],A[7]: A becomes [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]

Note:

  1. 1 <= A.length <= 30000
  2. 1 <= K <= A.length

Solution: Greedy

From left most, if there is a 0, that bit must be flipped since the right ones won’t affect left ones.

Time complexity: O(nk) -> O(k)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++ / O(nk)

花花酱 LeetCode 994. Rotting Oranges

In a given grid, each cell can have one of three values:

  • the value 0 representing an empty cell;
  • the value 1 representing a fresh orange;
  • the value 2 representing a rotten orange.

Every minute, any fresh orange that is adjacent (4-directionally) to a rotten orange becomes rotten.

Return the minimum number of minutes that must elapse until no cell has a fresh orange.  If this is impossible, return -1instead.

Example 1:

Input: [[2,1,1],[1,1,0],[0,1,1]]
Output: 4

Example 2:

Input: [[2,1,1],[0,1,1],[1,0,1]]
Output: -1
Explanation:  The orange in the bottom left corner (row 2, column 0) is never rotten, because rotting only happens 4-directionally.

Example 3:

Input: [[0,2]]
Output: 0
Explanation:  Since there are already no fresh oranges at minute 0, the answer is just 0.

Note:

  1. 1 <= grid.length <= 10
  2. 1 <= grid[0].length <= 10
  3. grid[i][j] is only 01, or 2.

Solution: BFS
