花花酱 LeetCode 198. House Robber

Problem:

You are a professional robber planning to rob houses along a street. Each house has a certain amount of money stashed, the only constraint stopping you from robbing each of them is that adjacent houses have security system connected and it will automatically contact the police if two adjacent houses were broken into on the same night.

Given a list of non-negative integers representing the amount of money of each house, determine the maximum amount of money you can rob tonight without alerting the police.

花花酱 LeetCode 741. Cherry Pickup

题目大意:给你樱桃田的地图(1: 樱桃, 0: 空, -1: 障碍物)。然你从左上角走到右下角(只能往右或往下),再从右下角走回左上角(只能往左或者往上)。问你最多能采到多少棵樱桃。

Problem:

In a N x N grid representing a field of cherries, each cell is one of three possible integers.

  • 0 means the cell is empty, so you can pass through;
  • 1 means the cell contains a cherry, that you can pick up and pass through;
  • -1 means the cell contains a thorn that blocks your way.

Your task is to collect maximum number of cherries possible by following the rules below:

  • Starting at the position (0, 0) and reaching (N-1, N-1) by moving right or down through valid path cells (cells with value 0 or 1);
  • After reaching (N-1, N-1), returning to (0, 0) by moving left or up through valid path cells;
  • When passing through a path cell containing a cherry, you pick it up and the cell becomes an empty cell (0);
  • If there is no valid path between (0, 0) and (N-1, N-1), then no cherries can be collected.

Example 1:

Note:

  • grid is an N by N 2D array, with 1 <= N <= 50.
  • Each grid[i][j] is an integer in the set {-1, 0, 1}.
  • It is guaranteed that grid[0][0] and grid[N-1][N-1] are not -1.


Idea:

DP

Key observation: (0,0) to (n-1, n-1) to (0, 0) is the same as (n-1,n-1) to (0,0) twice

  1. Two people starting from (n-1, n-1) and go to (0, 0).
  2. They move one step (left or up) at a time simultaneously. And pick up the cherry within the grid (if there is one).
  3. if they ended up at the same grid with a cherry. Only one of them can pick up it.

Solution: DP / Recursion with memoization.

x1, y1, x2 to represent a state y2 can be computed: y2 = x1 + y1 – x2

dp(x1, y1, x2) computes the max cherries if start from {(x1, y1), (x2, y2)} to (0, 0), which is a recursive function.

Since two people move independently, there are 4 subproblems: (left, left), (left, up), (up, left), (left, up). Finally, we have:

dp(x1, y1, x2)= g[y1][x1] + g[y2][x2] + max{dp(x1-1,y1,x2-1), dp(x1,y1-1,x2-1), dp(x1-1,y1,x2), dp(x1,y1-1,x2)}

Time complexity: O(n^3)

Space complexity: O(n^3)

Solution: DP

Time complexity: O(n^3)

Space complexity: O(n^3)

花花酱 LeetCode 735. Asteroid Collision

Problem:

We are given an array asteroids of integers representing asteroids in a row.

For each asteroid, the absolute value represents its size, and the sign represents its direction (positive meaning right, negative meaning left). Each asteroid moves at the same speed.

Find out the state of the asteroids after all collisions. If two asteroids meet, the smaller one will explode. If both are the same size, both will explode. Two asteroids moving in the same direction will never meet.

Example 1:

Example 2:

Example 3:

Example 4:

Note:

  • The length of asteroids will be at most 10000.
  • Each asteroid will be a non-zero integer in the range [-1000, 1000]..

花花酱 LeetCode 11. Container With Most Water

Problem:

Given n non-negative integers a1a2, …, an, where each represents a point at coordinate (iai). n vertical lines are drawn such that the two endpoints of line i is at (iai) and (i, 0). Find two lines, which together with x-axis forms a container, such that the container contains the most water.

Note: You may not slant the container and n is at least 2.

Examples:

input: [1 3 2 4]
output: 6
explanation: use 3, 4, we have the following, which contains (4th-2nd) * min(3, 4) = 2 * 3 = 6 unit of water.

花花酱 LeetCode 399. Evaluate Division

题目大意:给你一些含有变量名的分式的值,让你计算另外一些分式的值,如果不能计算返回-1。

Problem:

Equations are given in the format A / B = k, where A and B are variables represented as strings, and k is a real number (floating point number). Given some queries, return the answers. If the answer does not exist, return -1.0.

Example:
Given a / b = 2.0, b / c = 3.0.
queries are: a / c = ?, b / a = ?, a / e = ?, a / a = ?, x / x = ? .
return [6.0, 0.5, -1.0, 1.0, -1.0 ].

The input is: vector<pair<string, string>> equations, vector<double>& values, vector<pair<string, string>> queries , where equations.size() == values.size(), and the values are positive. This represents the equations. Return vector<double>.

According to the example above:

The input is always valid. You may assume that evaluating the queries will result in no division by zero and there is no contradiction.
