花花酱 LeetCode 917. Reverse Only Letters

By zxi on October 6, 2018

Problem

Given a string S, return the “reversed” string where all characters that are not a letter stay in the same place, and all letters reverse their positions.

Example 1:

Input: "ab-cd"
Output: "dc-ba"

Example 2:

Input: "a-bC-dEf-ghIj"
Output: "j-Ih-gfE-dCba"

Example 3:

Input: "Test1ng-Leet=code-Q!"
Output: "Qedo1ct-eeLg=ntse-T!"

Note:

S.length <= 100
33 <= S[i].ASCIIcode <= 122
S doesn’t contain \ or "

Space complexity: O(1) – in place

花花酱 LeetCode 32. Longest Valid Parentheses

By zxi on October 3, 2018

Problem

Given a string containing just the characters '(' and ')', find the length of the longest valid (well-formed) parentheses substring.

Example 1:

Input: "(()"
Output: 2
Explanation: The longest valid parentheses substring is "()"

Example 2:

Input: ")()())" Output: 4 Explanation: The longest valid parentheses substring is "()()"

Solution: Stack

Use a stack to track the index of all unmatched open parentheses.

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int longestValidParentheses(string s) {

stack<int> q;

int start = 0;

int ans = 0;

for (int i = 0;i < s.length(); i++) {

if(s[i] == '(') {

q.push(i);

} else {

if (q.empty()) {

start = i + 1;

} else {

int index = q.top(); q.pop();

ans = max(ans, q.empty() ? i - start + 1 : i - q.top());

}

return ans;

}

};

Python3

# Author: Huahua

class Solution:

def longestValidParentheses(self, s):

q = []

start, ans = 0, 0

for i in range(len(s)):

if s[i] == '(':

q.append(i)

continue

if not q:

start = i + 1

else:

q.pop()

ans = max(ans, i - q[-1] if q else i - start + 1)

return ans

Problem

Implement next permutation, which rearranges numbers into the lexicographically next greater permutation of numbers.

If such arrangement is not possible, it must rearrange it as the lowest possible order (ie, sorted in ascending order).

The replacement must be in-place and use only constant extra memory.

Here are some examples. Inputs are in the left-hand column and its corresponding outputs are in the right-hand column.

1,2,3 → 1,3,2
3,2,1 → 1,2,3
1,1,5 → 1,5,1

Solution

Find the last acceding element x, swap with the smallest number y, y is after x that and y is greater than x.

Reverse the elements after x.

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)

class Solution {

public:

void nextPermutation(vector<int>& nums) {

int i = nums.size() - 2;

while (i >= 0 && nums[i + 1] <= nums[i]) --i;

if (i >= 0) {

int j = nums.size() - 1;

while (j >= 0 && nums[j] <= nums[i]) --j;

swap(nums[i], nums[j]);

}

reverse(begin(nums) + i + 1, end(nums));

}

};

Python3

# Author: Huahua, 48 ms

class Solution:

def nextPermutation(self, nums):

n = len(nums)

i = n - 2

while i >= 0 and nums[i] >= nums[i + 1]: i -= 1

if i >= 0:

j = n - 1

while j >= 0 and nums[j] <= nums[i]: j -= 1

nums[i], nums[j] = nums[j], nums[i]

nums[i + 1:] = nums[i+1:][::-1]

花花酱 LeetCode 28. Implement strStr()

By zxi on October 2, 2018

Problem

Implement strStr().

Return the index of the first occurrence of needle in haystack, or -1 if needle is not part of haystack.

Example 1:

Input: haystack = "hello", needle = "ll"
Output: 2

Example 2:

Input: haystack = "aaaaa", needle = "bba"
Output: -1

Clarification:

What should we return when needle is an empty string? This is a great question to ask during an interview.

For the purpose of this problem, we will return 0 when needle is an empty string. This is consistent to C’s strstr() and Java’s indexOf().

Solution 1: Brute Force

Time complexity: O(mn)

Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua, 4 ms

class Solution {

public:

int strStr(string haystack, string needle) {

const int l1 = haystack.length();

const int l2 = needle.length();

for (int i = 0; i <= l1 - l2; ++i) {

int j = 0;

while (j < l2 && haystack[i + j] == needle[j]) ++j;

if (j == l2) return i;

}

return -1;

}

};

Python3

# Author: Huahua

class Solution:

def strStr(self, haystack, needle):

l1 = len(haystack)

l2 = len(needle)

for i in range(l1 - l2 + 1):

if haystack[i:i+l2] == needle: return i

return -1

花花酱 LeetCode 27. Remove Element

By zxi on October 2, 2018

Problem

Given an array nums and a value val, remove all instances of that value in-place and return the new length.

Do not allocate extra space for another array, you must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.

The order of elements can be changed. It doesn’t matter what you leave beyond the new length.

Example 1:

Given nums = [3,2,2,3], val = 3,

Your function should return length = 2, with the first two elements of nums being 2.

It doesn't matter what you leave beyond the returned length.

Example 2:

Given nums = [0,1,2,2,3,0,4,2], val = 2,

Your function should return length = 5, with the first five elements of nums containing 0, 1, 3, 0, and 4. Note that the order of those five elements can be arbitrary. It doesn't matter what values are set beyond the returned length.

Clarification:

Confused why the returned value is an integer but your answer is an array?

Note that the input array is passed in by reference, which means modification to the input array will be known to the caller as well.

Internally you can think of this:

// nums is passed in by reference. (i.e., without making a copy)
int len = removeElement(nums, val);

// any modification to nums in your function would be known by the caller.
// using the length returned by your function, it prints the first len elements.
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    print(nums[i]);
}

Solution:

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int removeElement(vector<int>& nums, int val) {

int len = 0;

for (int num : nums)

if (num != val) nums[len++] = num;

return len;

}

};

Python3

class Solution:

def removeElement(self, nums, val):

l = 0

for num in nums:

if num != val:

nums[l], l = num, l + 1

return l
