花花酱 LeetCode 398. Random Pick Index

Problem:

https://leetcode.com/problems/random-pick-index/description/

Given an array of integers with possible duplicates, randomly output the index of a given target number. You can assume that the given target number must exist in the array.

Note:
The array size can be very large. Solution that uses too much extra space will not pass the judge.

Example:

Solution: Reservoir sampling

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_sampling

Time complexity: O(query * n)

Space complexity: O(1)

C++

花花酱 LeetCode 392. Is Subsequence

题目大意:问s是不是t的子序列。

Problem:

https://leetcode.com/problems/is-subsequence/description/

Given a string s and a string t, check if s is subsequence of t.

You may assume that there is only lower case English letters in both s and tt is potentially a very long (length ~= 500,000) string, and sis a short string (<=100).

A subsequence of a string is a new string which is formed from the original string by deleting some (can be none) of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters. (ie, "ace" is a subsequence of "abcde" while "aec" is not).

Example 1:
s = "abc"t = "ahbgdc"

Return true.

Example 2:
s = "axc"t = "ahbgdc"

Return false.

Follow up:
If there are lots of incoming S, say S1, S2, … , Sk where k >= 1B, and you want to check one by one to see if T has its subsequence. In this scenario, how would you change your code?

Solution: Brute force

Time Complexity: O(|s| + |t|)

Space Complexity: O(1)

C++

 

花花酱 LeetCode 383. Ransom Note

题目大意:给你一个字符串,问能否用它其中的字符组成另外一个字符串,每个字符只能使用一次。

Problem:

Given an arbitrary ransom note string and another string containing letters from all the magazines, write a function that will return true if the ransom note can be constructed from the magazines ; otherwise, it will return false.

Each letter in the magazine string can only be used once in your ransom note.

Note:
You may assume that both strings contain only lowercase letters.

canConstruct("a", "b") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "ab") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "aab") -> true

Solution: HashTable

Time complexity: O(n + m)

Space complexity: O(128)

C++

花花酱 LeetCode 337. House Robber III

题目大意:给你一棵二叉树,不能同时取两个相邻的节点(parent/child),问最多能取得的节点的值的和是多少。

Problem:

https://leetcode.com/problems/house-robber-iii/description/

The thief has found himself a new place for his thievery again. There is only one entrance to this area, called the “root.” Besides the root, each house has one and only one parent house. After a tour, the smart thief realized that “all houses in this place forms a binary tree”. It will automatically contact the police if two directly-linked houses were broken into on the same night.

Determine the maximum amount of money the thief can rob tonight without alerting the police.

Example 1:

     3
    / \
   2   3
    \   \ 
     3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob = 3 + 3 + 1 = 7.

Example 2:

     3
    / \
   4   5
  / \   \ 
 1   3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob = 4 + 5 = 9.

Idea: 

Compare grandparent + max of grandchildren(l.l + l.r + r.l + r.r) vs max of children (l + r)

Solution 1: Recursion w/o memorization 

Time complexity: O(n^2)

Space complexity: O(n)

C++

Solution 2: Recursion w/ memorization 

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)

Solution 3: Recursion return children’s value

Python3
