花花酱 LeetCode 2248. Intersection of Multiple Arrays

By zxi on April 27, 2022

Given a 2D integer array nums where nums[i] is a non-empty array of distinct positive integers, return the list of integers that are present in each array ofnums sorted in ascending order.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [[3,1,2,4,5],[1,2,3,4],[3,4,5,6]]
Output: [3,4]
Explanation: 
The only integers present in each of nums[0] = [3,1,2,4,5], nums[1] = [1,2,3,4], and nums[2] = [3,4,5,6] are 3 and 4, so we return [3,4].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]
Output: []
Explanation: 
There does not exist any integer present both in nums[0] and nums[1], so we return an empty list [].

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= sum(nums[i].length) <= 1000
  • 1 <= nums[i][j] <= 1000
  • All the values of nums[i] are unique.

Solution: Hashtable

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

花花酱 LeetCode 2239. Find Closest Number to Zero

By zxi on April 16, 2022

Given an integer array nums of size n, return the number with the value closest to 0 in nums. If there are multiple answers, return the number with the largest value.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-4,-2,1,4,8]
Output: 1
Explanation:
The distance from -4 to 0 is |-4| = 4.
The distance from -2 to 0 is |-2| = 2.
The distance from 1 to 0 is |1| = 1.
The distance from 4 to 0 is |4| = 4.
The distance from 8 to 0 is |8| = 8.
Thus, the closest number to 0 in the array is 1.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,-1,1]
Output: 1
Explanation: 1 and -1 are both the closest numbers to 0, so 1 being larger is returned.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 1000
  • -105 <= nums[i] <= 105

Solution: ABS

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 2222. Number of Ways to Select Buildings

By zxi on April 2, 2022

You are given a 0-indexed binary string s which represents the types of buildings along a street where:

  • s[i] = '0' denotes that the ith building is an office and
  • s[i] = '1' denotes that the ith building is a restaurant.

As a city official, you would like to select 3 buildings for random inspection. However, to ensure variety, no two consecutive buildings out of the selected buildings can be of the same type.

  • For example, given s = "001101", we cannot select the 1st, 3rd, and 5th buildings as that would form "011" which is not allowed due to having two consecutive buildings of the same type.

Return the number of valid ways to select 3 buildings.

Example 1:

Input: s = "001101"
Output: 6
Explanation: 
The following sets of indices selected are valid:
- [0,2,4] from "001101" forms "010"
- [0,3,4] from "001101" forms "010"
- [1,2,4] from "001101" forms "010"
- [1,3,4] from "001101" forms "010"
- [2,4,5] from "001101" forms "101"
- [3,4,5] from "001101" forms "101"
No other selection is valid. Thus, there are 6 total ways.

Example 2:

Input: s = "11100"
Output: 0
Explanation: It can be shown that there are no valid selections.

Constraints:

  • 3 <= s.length <= 105
  • s[i] is either '0' or '1'.

Solution: DP

The brute force solution will take O(n3) which will lead to TLE.

Since the only two valid cases are “010” and “101”.

We just need to count how many 0s and 1s, thus we can count 01s and 10s and finally 010s and 101s.

花花酱 LeetCode 2221. Find Triangular Sum of an Array

By zxi on April 2, 2022

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums, where nums[i] is a digit between 0 and 9 (inclusive).

The triangular sum of nums is the value of the only element present in nums after the following process terminates:

  1. Let nums comprise of n elements. If n == 1, end the process. Otherwise, create a new 0-indexed integer array newNums of length n - 1.
  2. For each index i, where 0 <= i < n - 1, assign the value of newNums[i] as (nums[i] + nums[i+1]) % 10, where % denotes modulo operator.
  3. Replace the array nums with newNums.
  4. Repeat the entire process starting from step 1.

Return the triangular sum of nums.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: 8
Explanation:
The above diagram depicts the process from which we obtain the triangular sum of the array.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5]
Output: 5
Explanation:
Since there is only one element in nums, the triangular sum is the value of that element itself.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 1000
  • 0 <= nums[i] <= 9

Solution 1: Simulation

Time complexity: O(n2)
Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 2195. Append K Integers With Minimal Sum

By zxi on March 8, 2022

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, …
