花花酱 LeetCode 818. Race Car

Problem

题目大意:初始位置0速度+1,每次你可以加速(速度*2)或者倒车(速度变成-1*dir)。问最少需要执行多少步操作能够到达T。

https://leetcode.com/problems/race-car/description/

Your car starts at position 0 and speed +1 on an infinite number line.  (Your car can go into negative positions.)

Your car drives automatically according to a sequence of instructions A (accelerate) and R (reverse).

When you get an instruction “A”, your car does the following: position += speed, speed *= 2.

When you get an instruction “R”, your car does the following: if your speed is positive then speed = -1 , otherwise speed = 1.  (Your position stays the same.)

For example, after commands “AAR”, your car goes to positions 0->1->3->3, and your speed goes to 1->2->4->-1.

Now for some target position, say the length of the shortest sequence of instructions to get there.

Example 1:
Input: 
target = 3
Output: 2
Explanation: 
The shortest instruction sequence is "AA".
Your position goes from 0->1->3.
Example 2:
Input: 
target = 6
Output: 5
Explanation: 
The shortest instruction sequence is "AAARA".
Your position goes from 0->1->3->7->7->6.

Note:

  • 1 <= target <= 10000.

花花酱 LeetCode 813. Largest Sum of Averages

Problem

题目大意:把一个数组分成k个段,求每段平均值和的最大值。

https://leetcode.com/problems/largest-sum-of-averages/description/

We partition a row of numbers A into at most K adjacent (non-empty) groups, then our score is the sum of the average of each group. What is the largest score we can achieve?

Note that our partition must use every number in A, and that scores are not necessarily integers.

Example:
Input: 
A = [9,1,2,3,9]
K = 3
Output: 20
Explanation: 
The best choice is to partition A into [9], [1, 2, 3], [9]. The answer is 9 + (1 + 2 + 3) / 3 + 9 = 20.
We could have also partitioned A into [9, 1], [2], [3, 9], for example.
That partition would lead to a score of 5 + 2 + 6 = 13, which is worse.

Note:

  • 1 <= A.length <= 100.
  • 1 <= A[i] <= 10000.
  • 1 <= K <= A.length.
  • Answers within 10^-6 of the correct answer will be accepted as correct.

Idea

DP, use dp[k][i] to denote the largest average sum of partitioning first i elements into k groups.

Init

dp[1][i] = sum(a[0] ~ a[i – 1]) / i, for i in 1, 2, … , n.

Transition

dp[k][i] = max(dp[k – 1][j] + sum(a[j] ~ a[i – 1]) / (i – j)) for j in k – 1,…,i-1.

that is find the best j such that maximize dp[k][i]

largest sum of partitioning first j elements (a[0] ~ a[j – 1]) into k – 1 groups (already computed)

+ average of a[j] ~ a[i – 1] (partition a[j] ~ a[i – 1] into 1 group).

Answer

dp[K][n]

 

Solution 1: DP

花花酱 LeetCode 552. Student Attendance Record II

Problem

Given a positive integer n, return the number of all possible attendance records with length n, which will be regarded as rewardable. The answer may be very large, return it after mod 109 + 7.

A student attendance record is a string that only contains the following three characters:

  1. ‘A’ : Absent.
  2. ‘L’ : Late.
  3. ‘P’ : Present.

A record is regarded as rewardable if it doesn’t contain more than one ‘A’ (absent) or more than two continuous ‘L’ (late).

Example 1:

Input: n = 2
Output: 8 
Explanation:
There are 8 records with length 2 will be regarded as rewardable:
"PP" , "AP", "PA", "LP", "PL", "AL", "LA", "LL"
Only "AA" won't be regarded as rewardable owing to more than one absent times. 

Note: The value of n won’t exceed 100,000.

Solution

DFS w/ memorization (stack overflow)

花花酱 LeetCode 801. Minimum Swaps To Make Sequences Increasing

Problem

题目大意:给你两个数组A, B。问最少需要多少次对应位置元素的交换才能使得A和B变成单调递增。

https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-swaps-to-make-sequences-increasing/description/

We have two integer sequences A and B of the same non-zero length.

We are allowed to swap elements A[i] and B[i].  Note that both elements are in the same index position in their respective sequences.

At the end of some number of swaps, A and B are both strictly increasing.  (A sequence is strictly increasing if and only if A[0] < A[1] < A[2] < ... < A[A.length - 1].)

Given A and B, return the minimum number of swaps to make both sequences strictly increasing.  It is guaranteed that the given input always makes it possible.

Example:
Input: A = [1,3,5,4], B = [1,2,3,7]
Output: 1
Explanation: 
Swap A[3] and B[3].  Then the sequences are:
A = [1, 3, 5, 7] and B = [1, 2, 3, 4]
which are both strictly increasing.

Note:

  • A, B are arrays with the same length, and that length will be in the range [1, 1000].
  • A[i], B[i] are integer values in the range [0, 2000].

花花酱 LeetCode 413. Arithmetic Slices

题目大意:返回所有子数组中等差数列的个数。

Problem

https://leetcode.com/problems/arithmetic-slices/description/

A sequence of number is called arithmetic if it consists of at least three elements and if the difference between any two consecutive elements is the same.

For example, these are arithmetic sequence:

1, 3, 5, 7, 9
7, 7, 7, 7
3, -1, -5, -9

The following sequence is not arithmetic.

1, 1, 2, 5, 7

A zero-indexed array A consisting of N numbers is given. A slice of that array is any pair of integers (P, Q) such that 0 <= P < Q < N.

A slice (P, Q) of array A is called arithmetic if the sequence:
A[P], A[p + 1], …, A[Q – 1], A[Q] is arithmetic. In particular, this means that P + 1 < Q.

The function should return the number of arithmetic slices in the array A.

Example:

A = [1, 2, 3, 4]

return: 3, for 3 arithmetic slices in A: [1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4] and [1, 2, 3, 4] itself.

Solution 0: Reduction

Reduce the problem to # of all 1 sub arrays.

B[i – 2] = is_slice(A[i], A[i+1], A[i+2])

Time Complexity: O(n)

Space Complexity: O(n)

Solution 1: Combined

C++

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)
