花花酱 LeetCode 743. Network Delay Time

There are N network nodes, labelled 1 to N.

Given times, a list of travel times as directed edges times[i] = (u, v, w), where u is the source node, v is the target node, and w is the time it takes for a signal to travel from source to target.

Now, we send a signal from a certain node K. How long will it take for all nodes to receive the signal? If it is impossible, return -1.

Note:

  1. N will be in the range [1, 100].
  2. K will be in the range [1, N].
  3. The length of times will be in the range [1, 6000].
  4. All edges times[i] = (u, v, w) will have 1 <= u, v <= N and 1 <= w <= 100.

Idea:

Construct the graph and do a shortest path from K to all other nodes.

Solution 2:

C++ / Bellman-Ford

Time complexity: O(ne)

Space complexity: O(n)

 

Solution3:

C++ / Floyd-Warshall

Time complexity: O(n^3)

Space complexity: O(n^2)

花花酱 LeetCode 745. Prefix and Suffix Search

Link: https://leetcode.com/problems/prefix-and-suffix-search/description/

Problem:

Given many wordswords[i] has weight i.

Design a class WordFilter that supports one function, WordFilter.f(String prefix, String suffix). It will return the word with given prefix and suffix with maximum weight. If no word exists, return -1.

Examples:

Note:

  1. words has length in range [1, 15000].
  2. For each test case, up to words.length queries WordFilter.f may be made.
  3. words[i] has length in range [1, 10].
  4. prefix, suffix have lengths in range [0, 10].
  5. words[i] and prefix, suffix queries consist of lowercase letters only.

Idea:

Construct all possible filters

 

Solution1:

C++

Time complexity: O(NL^3 + QL)  where N is the number of words, L is the max length of the word, Q is the number of queries.

Space complexity: O(NL^3)

Version #2

Solution 2:

C++ / Trie

Time complexity: O(NL^2 + QL)  where N is the number of words, L is the max length of the word, Q is the number of queries.

Space complexity: O(NL^2)

花花酱 LeetCode 744. Find Smallest Letter Greater Than Target

Problem:

Given a list of sorted characters letters containing only lowercase letters, and given a target letter target, find the smallest element in the list that is larger than the given target.

Letters also wrap around. For example, if the target is target = 'z' and letters = ['a', 'b'], the answer is 'a'.

Examples:

Note:

  1. letters has a length in range [2, 10000].
  2. letters consists of lowercase letters, and contains at least 2 unique letters.
  3. target is a lowercase letter.

花花酱 LeetCode 164. Maximum Gap

https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-gap/description/

Problem:

Given an unsorted array, find the maximum difference between the successive elements in its sorted form.

Try to solve it in linear time/space.

Return 0 if the array contains less than 2 elements.

You may assume all elements in the array are non-negative integers and fit in the 32-bit signed integer range.

题目大意:

给你一个没有排序的正整数数组。输出排序后,相邻元素的差的最大值(Max Gap)。需要在线性时间内解决。

Example:

Input:  [5, 0, 4, 2, 12, 10]

Output: 5

Explanation: 

Sorted: [0, 2, 4, 5, 10, 12]

max gap is 10 – 5 = 5

Idea:

Bucket sort. Use n buckets to store all the numbers. For each bucket, only track the min / max value.

桶排序。用n个桶来存放数字。对于每个桶,只跟踪存储最大值和最小值。

max gap must come from two “adjacent” buckets, b[i], b[j], j > i, b[i+1] … b[j – 1] must be empty.

max gap 只可能来自”相邻”的两个桶 b[i] 和 b[j], j > i, b[i] 和 b[j] 之间的桶(如果有)必须为空。

max gap = b[j].min – b[i].min

Time complexity: O(n)

时间复杂度: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)

空间复杂度: O(n)

Solution:

C++

 

花花酱 LeetCode 530. Minimum Absolute Difference in BST

Link

Problem:

Given a binary search tree with non-negative values, find the minimum absolute difference between values of any two nodes.

Example:

Note: There are at least two nodes in this BST.


Idea:

Sorting via inorder traversal gives us sorted values, compare current one with previous one to reduce space complexity from O(n) to O(h).

Solution:

C++ O(n) space

C++ O(h) space

Java

Python
