花花酱 LeetCode 24. Swap Nodes in Pairs

By zxi on October 2, 2018

Problem

Given a linked list, swap every two adjacent nodes and return its head.

Example:

Given 1->2->3->4, you should return the list as 2->1->4->3.

Note:

Your algorithm should use only constant extra space.
You may not modify the values in the list’s nodes, only nodes itself may be changed.

Solution

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

ListNode *swapPairs(ListNode *head) {

if (!head || !head->next) return head;

ListNode d(0);

d.next = head;

head = &d;

while (head && head->next && head->next->next) {

auto n1 = head->next;

auto n2 = n1->next;

n1->next = n2->next;

n2->next = n1;

head->next = n2;

head = n1;

}

return d.next;

}

};

Python3

class Solution:

def swapPairs(self, head):

if not head or not head.next: return head

dummy = ListNode(0)

dummy.next = head

head = dummy

while head.next and head.next.next:

n1, n2 = head.next, head.next.next

n1.next = n2.next

n2.next = n1

head.next = n2

head = n1

return dummy.next

Problem

Given a string containing just the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']', determine if the input string is valid.

An input string is valid if:

Open brackets must be closed by the same type of brackets.
Open brackets must be closed in the correct order.

Note that an empty string is also considered valid.

Example 1:

Input: "()"
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: "()[]{}"
Output: true

Example 3:

Input: "(]"
Output: false

Example 4:

Input: "([)]"
Output: false

Example 5:

Input: "{[]}"
Output: true

Solution: Stack

Using a stack to track the existing open parentheses, if the current one is a close parenthesis but does not match the top of the stack, return false, otherwise pop the stack. Check whether the stack is empty in the end.

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)

C++

// Author: Huahua, 0 ms

class Solution {

public:

bool isValid(string s) {

map<char, char> p{{')', '('}, {']', '['}, {'}', '{'}};

stack<char> st;

for (char c : s) {

if (!p.count(c)) {

st.push(c);

} else {

if (st.empty() || p[c] != st.top()) return false;

st.pop();

}

return st.empty();

}

};

Python3

# Author: Huahua

class Solution:

def isValid(self, s):

p = {')' : '(', ']': '[', '}' : '{'}

stack = []

for c in s:

if c not in p:

stack.append(c)

else:

if not stack or stack[-1] != p[c]: return False

stack.pop()

return not stack

Problem

Given an array A, partition it into two (contiguous) subarrays left and right so that:

Every element in left is less than or equal to every element in right.
left and right are non-empty.
left has the smallest possible size.

Return the length of left after such a partitioning. It is guaranteed that such a partitioning exists.

Example 1:

Input: [5,0,3,8,6]
Output: 3
Explanation: left = [5,0,3], right = [8,6]

Example 2:

Input: [1,1,1,0,6,12]
Output: 4
Explanation: left = [1,1,1,0], right = [6,12]

Note:

2 <= A.length <= 30000
0 <= A[i] <= 10^6
It is guaranteed there is at least one way to partition A as described.

Solution 1: BST

Time complexity: O(nlogn)

Space complexity: O(n)

C++

// Author: Huahua, 100 ms

class Solution {

public:

int partitionDisjoint(vector<int>& A) {

multiset<int> s(begin(A) + 1, end(A));

int left_max = A[0];

for (int i = 1; i < A.size(); ++i) {

if (*begin(s) >= left_max) return i;

s.erase(s.equal_range(A[i]).first);

left_max = max(left_max, A[i]);

}

return -1;

}

};

Solution 2: Greedy

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua, 28 ms

class Solution {

public:

int partitionDisjoint(vector<int>& A) {

int left_max = A[0];

int cur_max = A[0];

int left_len = 1;

for (int i = 1; i < A.size(); ++i) {

if (A[i] < left_max) {

left_max = cur_max;

left_len = i + 1;

} else {

cur_max = max(cur_max, A[i]);

}

return left_len;

}

};
