花花酱 LeetCode 961. N-Repeated Element in Size 2N Array

In a array A of size 2N, there are N+1 unique elements, and exactly one of these elements is repeated N times.

Return the element repeated N times.

Example 1:

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

Example 2:

Input: [2,1,2,5,3,2]
Output: 2

Example 3:

Input: [5,1,5,2,5,3,5,4]
Output: 5

Note:

  1. 4 <= A.length <= 10000
  2. 0 <= A[i] < 10000
  3. A.length is even

Solution: Randomization

Randomly pick two numbers in the array, if they are the same (25% probability) return the number, do it until the two numbers are the same.

Time complexity: O(1) expected 4
Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 78. Subsets

Given a set of distinct integers, nums, return all possible subsets (the power set).

Note: The solution set must not contain duplicate subsets.

Example:

Input: nums = [1,2,3]
Output:[ [3],  [1],  [2],  [1,2,3],  [1,3],  [2,3],  [1,2],  []]

Solution: Combination

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

花花酱 LeetCode 220. Contains Duplicate III

Given an array of integers, find out whether there are two distinct indices i and j in the array such that the absolute difference between nums[i] and nums[j] is at most t and the absolute difference between i and j is at most k.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,1], k = 3, t = 0
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,0,1,1], k = 1, t = 2
Output: true

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,5,9,1,5,9], k = 2, t = 3
Output: false

Solution: Sliding Window + Multiset (OrderedSet)

Maintaining a sliding window of sorted numbers of k + 1. After the i-th number was inserted into the sliding window, check whether its left and right neighbors satisfy abs(nums[i] – neighbor) <= t

Time complexity: O(nlogk)
Space complexity: O(k)

花花酱 LeetCode 957. Prison Cells After N Days

There are 8 prison cells in a row, and each cell is either occupied or vacant.

Each day, whether the cell is occupied or vacant changes according to the following rules:

  • If a cell has two adjacent neighbors that are both occupied or both vacant, then the cell becomes occupied.
  • Otherwise, it becomes vacant.

(Note that because the prison is a row, the first and the last cells in the row can’t have two adjacent neighbors.)

We describe the current state of the prison in the following way: cells[i] == 1 if the i-th cell is occupied, else cells[i] == 0.

Given the initial state of the prison, return the state of the prison after N days (and N such changes described above.)

Example 1:

Input: cells = [0,1,0,1,1,0,0,1], N = 7
Output: [0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0]
Explanation: The following table summarizes the state of the prison on each day:
Day 0: [0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1]
Day 1: [0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
Day 2: [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0]
Day 3: [0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0]
Day 4: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0]
Day 5: [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0]
Day 6: [0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0]
Day 7: [0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0]

Example 2:

Input: cells = [1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0], N = 1000000000
Output: [0,0,1,1,1,1,1,0]

Note:

  1. cells.length == 8
  2. cells[i] is in {0, 1}
  3. 1 <= N <= 10^9

Solution: Simulation

Simulate the process, since there must be loops, record the last day when a state occurred. 

Time complexity: O(2^8)
Space complexity: O(2^8)

花花酱 LeetCode 960. Delete Columns to Make Sorted III

We are given an array A of N lowercase letter strings, all of the same length.

Now, we may choose any set of deletion indices, and for each string, we delete all the characters in those indices.

For example, if we have an array A = ["babca","bbazb"] and deletion indices {0, 1, 4}, then the final array after deletions is ["bc","az"].

Suppose we chose a set of deletion indices D such that after deletions, the final array has every element (row) in lexicographic order.

For clarity, A[0] is in lexicographic order (ie. A[0][0] <= A[0][1] <= ... <= A[0][A[0].length - 1]), A[1] is in lexicographic order (ie. A[1][0] <= A[1][1] <= ... <= A[1][A[1].length - 1]), and so on.

Return the minimum possible value of D.length.

Example 1:

Input: ["babca","bbazb"]
Output: 3
Explanation: After deleting columns 0, 1, and 4, the final array is A = ["bc", "az"].
Both these rows are individually in lexicographic order (ie. A[0][0] <= A[0][1] and A[1][0] <= A[1][1]).
Note that A[0] > A[1] - the array A isn't necessarily in lexicographic order.

Example 2:

Input: ["edcba"]
Output: 4
Explanation: If we delete less than 4 columns, the only row won't be lexicographically sorted.

Example 3:

Input: ["ghi","def","abc"]
Output: 0
Explanation: All rows are already lexicographically sorted.

Note:

  1. 1 <= A.length <= 100
  2. 1 <= A[i].length <= 100

Solution: DP

dp[i] := max length of increasing sub-sequence (of all strings) ends with i-th letter.
dp[i] = max(dp[j] + 1) if all A[*][j] <= A[*][i], j < i
Time complexity: (n*L^2)
Space complexity: O(L)
