花花酱 LeetCode 2190. Most Frequent Number Following Key In an Array

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums. You are also given an integer key, which is present in nums.

For every unique integer target in numscount the number of times target immediately follows an occurrence of key in nums. In other words, count the number of indices i such that:

  • 0 <= i <= nums.length - 2,
  • nums[i] == key and,
  • nums[i + 1] == target.

Return the target with the maximum count. The test cases will be generated such that the target with maximum count is unique.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,100,200,1,100], key = 1
Output: 100
Explanation: For target = 100, there are 2 occurrences at indices 1 and 4 which follow an occurrence of key.
No other integers follow an occurrence of key, so we return 100.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,2,2,2,3], key = 2
Output: 2
Explanation: For target = 2, there are 3 occurrences at indices 1, 2, and 3 which follow an occurrence of key.
For target = 3, there is only one occurrence at index 4 which follows an occurrence of key.
target = 2 has the maximum number of occurrences following an occurrence of key, so we return 2.

Constraints:

  • 2 <= nums.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 1000
  • The test cases will be generated such that the answer is unique.

Solution: Hashtable

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 2197. Replace Non-Coprime Numbers in Array

You are given an array of integers nums. Perform the following steps:

  1. Find any two adjacent numbers in nums that are non-coprime.
  2. If no such numbers are found, stop the process.
  3. Otherwise, delete the two numbers and replace them with their LCM (Least Common Multiple).
  4. Repeat this process as long as you keep finding two adjacent non-coprime numbers.

Return the final modified array. It can be shown that replacing adjacent non-coprime numbers in any arbitrary order will lead to the same result.

The test cases are generated such that the values in the final array are less than or equal to 108.

Two values x and y are non-coprime if GCD(x, y) > 1 where GCD(x, y) is the Greatest Common Divisor of x and y.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [6,4,3,2,7,6,2]
Output: [12,7,6]
Explanation: 
- (6, 4) are non-coprime with LCM(6, 4) = 12. Now, nums = [12,3,2,7,6,2].
- (12, 3) are non-coprime with LCM(12, 3) = 12. Now, nums = [12,2,7,6,2].
- (12, 2) are non-coprime with LCM(12, 2) = 12. Now, nums = [12,7,6,2].
- (6, 2) are non-coprime with LCM(6, 2) = 6. Now, nums = [12,7,6].
There are no more adjacent non-coprime numbers in nums.
Thus, the final modified array is [12,7,6].
Note that there are other ways to obtain the same resultant array.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,2,1,1,3,3,3]
Output: [2,1,1,3]
Explanation: 
- (3, 3) are non-coprime with LCM(3, 3) = 3. Now, nums = [2,2,1,1,3,3].
- (3, 3) are non-coprime with LCM(3, 3) = 3. Now, nums = [2,2,1,1,3].
- (2, 2) are non-coprime with LCM(2, 2) = 2. Now, nums = [2,1,1,3].
There are no more adjacent non-coprime numbers in nums.
Thus, the final modified array is [2,1,1,3].
Note that there are other ways to obtain the same resultant array.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 105
  • The test cases are generated such that the values in the final array are less than or equal to 108.

Solution: Stack

“””It can be shown that replacing adjacent non-coprime numbers in any arbitrary order will lead to the same result.”””

So that we can do it in one pass from left to right using a stack/vector.

Push the current number onto stack, and merge top two if they are not co-prime.

Time complexity: O(nlogm)
Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 2196. Create Binary Tree From Descriptions

You are given a 2D integer array descriptions where descriptions[i] = [parenti, childi, isLefti] indicates that parenti is the parent of childi in a binary tree of unique values. Furthermore,

  • If isLefti == 1, then childi is the left child of parenti.
  • If isLefti == 0, then childi is the right child of parenti.

Construct the binary tree described by descriptions and return its root.

The test cases will be generated such that the binary tree is valid.

Example 1:

Input: descriptions = [[20,15,1],[20,17,0],[50,20,1],[50,80,0],[80,19,1]]
Output: [50,20,80,15,17,19]
Explanation: The root node is the node with value 50 since it has no parent.
The resulting binary tree is shown in the diagram.

Example 2:

Input: descriptions = [[1,2,1],[2,3,0],[3,4,1]]
Output: [1,2,null,null,3,4]
Explanation: The root node is the node with value 1 since it has no parent.
The resulting binary tree is shown in the diagram.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= descriptions.length <= 104
  • descriptions[i].length == 3
  • 1 <= parenti, childi <= 105
  • 0 <= isLefti <= 1
  • The binary tree described by descriptions is valid.

Solution: Hashtable + Recursion

  1. Use one hashtable to track the children of each node.
  2. Use another hashtable to track the parent of each node.
  3. Find the root who doesn’t have parent.
  4. Build the tree recursively from root.

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 2195. Append K Integers With Minimal Sum

You are given an integer array nums and an integer k. Append k unique positive integers that do not appear in nums to nums such that the resulting total sum is minimum.

Return the sum of the k integers appended to nums.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,4,25,10,25], k = 2
Output: 5
Explanation: The two unique positive integers that do not appear in nums which we append are 2 and 3.
The resulting sum of nums is 1 + 4 + 25 + 10 + 25 + 2 + 3 = 70, which is the minimum.
The sum of the two integers appended is 2 + 3 = 5, so we return 5.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5,6], k = 6
Output: 25
Explanation: The six unique positive integers that do not appear in nums which we append are 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8.
The resulting sum of nums is 5 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 8 = 36, which is the minimum. 
The sum of the six integers appended is 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 8 = 25, so we return 25.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 109
  • 1 <= k <= 108

Solution: Greedy + Math, fill the gap

Sort all the numbers and remove duplicated ones, and fill the gap between two neighboring numbers.
e.g. [15, 3, 8, 8] => sorted = [3, 8, 15]
fill 0->3, 1,2, sum = ((0 + 1) + (3-1)) * (3-0-1) / 2 = 3
fill 3->8, 4, 5, 6, 7, sum = ((3 + 1) + (8-1)) * (8-3-1) / 2 = 22
fill 8->15, 9, 10, …, 14, …
fill 15->inf, 16, 17, …

花花酱 LeetCode 2194. Cells in a Range on an Excel Sheet

A cell (r, c) of an excel sheet is represented as a string "<col><row>" where:

  • <col> denotes the column number c of the cell. It is represented by alphabetical letters.
    • For example, the 1st column is denoted by 'A', the 2nd by 'B', the 3rd by 'C', and so on.
  • <row> is the row number r of the cell. The rth row is represented by the integer r.

You are given a string s in the format "<col1><row1>:<col2><row2>", where <col1> represents the column c1<row1> represents the row r1<col2> represents the column c2, and <row2> represents the row r2, such that r1 <= r2 and c1 <= c2.

Return the list of cells (x, y) such that r1 <= x <= r2 and c1 <= y <= c2. The cells should be represented as strings in the format mentioned above and be sorted in non-decreasing order first by columns and then by rows.

Example 1:

Input: s = "K1:L2"
Output: ["K1","K2","L1","L2"]
Explanation:
The above diagram shows the cells which should be present in the list.
The red arrows denote the order in which the cells should be presented.

Example 2:

Input: s = "A1:F1"
Output: ["A1","B1","C1","D1","E1","F1"]
Explanation:
The above diagram shows the cells which should be present in the list.
The red arrow denotes the order in which the cells should be presented.

Constraints:

  • s.length == 5
  • 'A' <= s[0] <= s[3] <= 'Z'
  • '1' <= s[1] <= s[4] <= '9'
  • s consists of uppercase English letters, digits and ':'.

Solution: Brute Force

Time complexity: O((row2 – row1 + 1) * (col2 – col1 + 1))
Space complexity: O(1)
