花花酱 LeetCode 628. Maximum Product of Three Numbers

By zxi on August 17, 2018

Problem

Given an integer array, find three numbers whose product is maximum and output the maximum product.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3]
Output: 6

Example 2:

Input: [1,2,3,4]
Output: 24

Note:

The length of the given array will be in range [3,10⁴] and all elements are in the range [-1000, 1000].
Multiplication of any three numbers in the input won’t exceed the range of 32-bit signed integer.

Idea:

Find the top 3 numbers t1, t2, t3, and bottom 2 numbers, b1, b2.

If all numbers are positives, answer must be t1 * t2 * t3.

Since the number can go negative, the answer must be either t1*t2*t3 or b1 * b2 * t1, if b1 and b2 are both negatives.

ex. nums: [5, 1, -6, 3, -1]

t1, t2, t3: 5, 3, 1

b1, b2: -6, -1

t1 * t2 * t3 = 15

t1 * b1 * b2 = 30

花花酱 LeetCode 463. Island Perimeter

By zxi on August 17, 2018

Problem

You are given a map in form of a two-dimensional integer grid where 1 represents land and 0 represents water. Grid cells are connected horizontally/vertically (not diagonally). The grid is completely surrounded by water, and there is exactly one island (i.e., one or more connected land cells). The island doesn’t have “lakes” (water inside that isn’t connected to the water around the island). One cell is a square with side length 1. The grid is rectangular, width and height don’t exceed 100. Determine the perimeter of the island.

Example:

[[0,1,0,0],
 [1,1,1,0],
 [0,1,0,0],
 [1,1,0,0]]

Answer: 16
Explanation: The perimeter is the 16 yellow stripes in the image below:

Solution: Counting

If a land has 0 neighbour, it contributes 4 to the perimeter

If a land has 1 neighbour, it contributes 3 to the perimeter

If a land has 2 neighbours, it contributes 2 to the perimeter

If a land has 3 neighbours, it contributes 1 to the perimeter

If a land has 4 neighbours, it contributes 0 to the perimeter

perimeter = area * 4 – total_neighbours

Time complexity: O(mn)

Space complexity: O(1)

// Author: Huahua

// Running time: 148 ms

class Solution {

public:

int islandPerimeter(vector<vector<int>>& grid) {

if (grid.empty()) return 0;

int m = grid.size();

int n = grid[0].size();

int area = 0;

int conn = 0;

for (int y = 0; y < m; ++y)

for (int x = 0; x < n; ++x)

if (grid[y][x] == 1) {

++area;

if (y > 0 && grid[y - 1][x] == 1) ++conn;

if (x > 0 && grid[y][x - 1] == 1) ++conn;

}

return area*4 - conn*2;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 551. Student Attendance Record I

By zxi on August 17, 2018

Problem

You are given a string representing an attendance record for a student. The record only contains the following three characters:

‘A’ : Absent.
‘L’ : Late.
‘P’ : Present.

A student could be rewarded if his attendance record doesn’t contain more than one ‘A’ (absent) or more than two continuous ‘L’ (late).

You need to return whether the student could be rewarded according to his attendance record.

Example 1:

Input: "PPALLP"
Output: True

Example 2:

Input: "PPALLL"
Output: False

else l=0;

if (a > 1 || l > 2) return false;

花花酱 LeetCode 303. Range Sum Query – Immutable

By zxi on August 17, 2018

Problem

Given an integer array nums, find the sum of the elements between indices i and j (i ≤ j), inclusive.

Example:

Given nums = [-2, 0, 3, -5, 2, -1]

sumRange(0, 2) -> 1
sumRange(2, 5) -> -1
sumRange(0, 5) -> -3

Note:

You may assume that the array does not change.
There are many calls to sumRange function.

Solution: Prefix sum

sums[i] = nums[0] + nums[1] + … + nums[i]

sumRange(i, j) = sums[j] – sums[i – 1]

Time complexity: pre-compute: O(n), query: O(1)

Space complexity: O(n)

// Author: Huahua

// Running time: 112 ms

class NumArray {

public:

NumArray(vector<int> nums): sums_(nums) {

if (nums.empty()) return;

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

sums_[i] += sums_[i - 1];

}

int sumRange(int i, int j) {

if (i == 0) return sums_[j];

return sums_[j] - sums_[i-1];

}

private:

vector<int> sums_;

};
