花花酱 Leetcode 153. Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array

Problem:

Suppose an array sorted in ascending order is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.

(i.e., 0 1 2 4 5 6 7 might become 4 5 6 7 0 1 2).

Find the minimum element.

You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.

Idea:

Divide and conquer.

Evenly Split the array into two sub-arrays, and find the minimums of them, return the smaller one.

findMin(a[0..n]) = min(findMin(a[0..n/2], a[n/2..n])

Key property:

One of the sub-array will be a sorted array, it takes O(1) to find the minimal element, just the first element.

Time complexity:

T(n) = O(1) + T(n/2) = O(logn)

Solution:

 

花花酱 LeetCode 79. Word Search

Given a 2D board and a word, find if the word exists in the grid.

The word can be constructed from letters of sequentially adjacent cell, where “adjacent” cells are those horizontally or vertically neighboring. The same letter cell may not be used more than once.

For example,
Given board =

word = "ABCCED", -> returns true,
word = "SEE", -> returns true,
word = "ABCB", -> returns false.

Idea:
Search, depth first search
Solution:

C++

花花酱 LeetCode 654. Maximum Binary Tree

 

Given an integer array with no duplicates. A maximum tree building on this array is defined as follow:

  1. The root is the maximum number in the array.
  2. The left subtree is the maximum tree constructed from left part subarray divided by the maximum number.
  3. The right subtree is the maximum tree constructed from right part subarray divided by the maximum number.

Construct the maximum tree by the given array and output the root node of this tree.

Example 1:

Idea:

Recursion

Solution:

With copy

Time complexity: O(nlogn) ~ O(n^2)

Space complexity: O(nlogn) ~ O(n^2)

running time 79ms

Without copy

Time complexity: O(nlogn) ~ O(n^2)

Space complexity: O(logn) ~ O(n)

running time 66ms

 

花花酱 LeetCode 669. Trim a Binary Search Tree

Given a binary search tree and the lowest and highest boundaries as L and R, trim the tree so that all its elements lies in [L, R] (R >= L). You might need to change the root of the tree, so the result should return the new root of the trimmed binary search tree.

Example 1:

Example 2:

This problem can be solved with recursion

There 3 cases in total depends on the root value and L, R

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)

Solution:

The previous solution has potential memory leak for languages without garbage collection.

Here’s the full program to delete trimmed nodes.
