花花酱 LeetCode 605. Can Place Flowers

By zxi on June 28, 2018

Problem

Suppose you have a long flowerbed in which some of the plots are planted and some are not. However, flowers cannot be planted in adjacent plots – they would compete for water and both would die.

Given a flowerbed (represented as an array containing 0 and 1, where 0 means empty and 1 means not empty), and a number n, return if n new flowers can be planted in it without violating the no-adjacent-flowers rule.

Example 1:

Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 1
Output: True

Example 2:

Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 2
Output: False

Note:

The input array won’t violate no-adjacent-flowers rule.
The input array size is in the range of [1, 20000].
n is a non-negative integer which won’t exceed the input array size.

bool left = i == 0 ? true : !flowerbed[i - 1];

bool right = i == flowerbed.size() - 1 ? true : !flowerbed[i + 1];

if (left && right) {

flowerbed[i++] = 1;

++count;

return count == n;

花花酱 LeetCode 228. Summary Ranges

By zxi on June 27, 2018

Problem

Given a sorted integer array without duplicates, return the summary of its ranges.

Example 1:

Input:  [0,1,2,4,5,7]
Output: ["0->2","4->5","7"]
Explanation: 0,1,2 form a continuous range; 4,5 form a continuous range.

Example 2:

Input:  [0,2,3,4,6,8,9]
Output: ["0","2->4","6","8->9"]
Explanation: 2,3,4 form a continuous range; 8,9 form a continuous range.

Space complexity: O(k)

class Solution {

public:

vector<string> summaryRanges(vector<int>& nums) {

int s = 0;

vector<string> ans;

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

if (i == nums.size() || nums[i] != nums[i - 1] + 1) {

if (s == i - 1)

ans.push_back(to_string(nums[s]));

else

ans.push_back(to_string(nums[s]) + "->" + to_string(nums[i - 1]));

s = i;

}

return ans;

花花酱 LeetCode 289. Game of Life

By zxi on June 27, 2018

Problem

According to the Wikipedia’s article: “The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.”

Given a board with m by n cells, each cell has an initial state live (1) or dead (0). Each cell interacts with its eight neighbors (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) using the following four rules (taken from the above Wikipedia article):

Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbors dies, as if caused by under-population.
Any live cell with two or three live neighbors lives on to the next generation.
Any live cell with more than three live neighbors dies, as if by over-population..
Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

Write a function to compute the next state (after one update) of the board given its current state. The next state is created by applying the above rules simultaneously to every cell in the current state, where births and deaths occur simultaneously.

Example:

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

Follow up:

Could you solve it in-place? Remember that the board needs to be updated at the same time: You cannot update some cells first and then use their updated values to update other cells.
In this question, we represent the board using a 2D array. In principle, the board is infinite, which would cause problems when the active area encroaches the border of the array. How would you address these problems?

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

for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j) {

int lives = 0;

// Scan the 3x3 region including (j, i).

for (int y = max(0, i - 1); y < min(m, i + 2); ++y)

for (int x = max(0, j - 1); x < min(n, j + 2); ++x)

lives += board[y][x] & 1;

if (lives == 3 || lives - board[i][j] == 3) board[i][j] |= 0b10;

}

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

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

board[i][j] >>= 1;

花花酱 LeetCode 856. Score of Parentheses

By zxi on June 26, 2018

Problem

Given a balanced parentheses string S, compute the score of the string based on the following rule:

() has score 1
AB has score A + B, where A and B are balanced parentheses strings.
(A) has score 2 * A, where A is a balanced parentheses string.

Example 1:

Input: "()"
Output: 1

Example 2:

Input: "(())"
Output: 2

Example 3:

Input: "()()"
Output: 2

Example 4:

Input: "(()(()))"
Output: 6

int b = 0;

for (int i = l; i < r; ++i) {

if (S[i] == '(') ++b;

if (S[i] == ')') --b;

if (b == 0) // balanced

// score("(A)(B)") = score("(A)") + score("(B)")

return score(S, l, i) + score(S, i + 1, r);

花话酱 LeetCode 859. Buddy Strings

By zxi on June 26, 2018

Problem

Given two strings A and B of lowercase letters, return true if and only if we can swap two letters in A so that the result equals B.

Example 1:

Input: A = "ab", B = "ba"
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: A = "ab", B = "ab"
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: A = "aa", B = "aa"
Output: true

Example 4:

Input: A = "aaaaaaabc", B = "aaaaaaacb"
Output: true

Example 5:

Input: A = "", B = "aa"
Output: false

Note:

0 <= A.length <= 20000
0 <= B.length <= 20000
A and B consist only of lowercase letters.
