花花酱 688. Knight Probability in Chessboard

https://leetcode.com/problems/knight-probability-in-chessboard/description/

Problem:

On an NxN chessboard, a knight starts at the r-th row and c-th column and attempts to make exactly Kmoves. The rows and columns are 0 indexed, so the top-left square is (0, 0), and the bottom-right square is (N-1, N-1).

A chess knight has 8 possible moves it can make, as illustrated below. Each move is two squares in a cardinal direction, then one square in an orthogonal direction.

Each time the knight is to move, it chooses one of eight possible moves uniformly at random (even if the piece would go off the chessboard) and moves there.

The knight continues moving until it has made exactly K moves or has moved off the chessboard. Return the probability that the knight remains on the board after it has stopped moving.

Example:

Note:

  • N will be between 1 and 25.
  • K will be between 0 and 100.
  • The knight always initially starts on the board.



Idea:
Dynamic programming
Count the ways to reach (x, y) after k moves from start.
Time Complexity: O(k*n^2)
Space Complexity: O(n^2)
Solution:

花花酱 LeetCode 664. Strange Printer

Problem:

There is a strange printer with the following two special requirements:

  1. The printer can only print a sequence of the same character each time.
  2. At each turn, the printer can print new characters starting from and ending at any places, and will cover the original existing characters.

Given a string consists of lower English letters only, your job is to count the minimum number of turns the printer needed in order to print it.

Example 1:

Example 2:

Hint: Length of the given string will not exceed 100.

花花酱 LeetCode 304. Range Sum Query 2D – Immutable

 

https://leetcode.com/problems/range-sum-query-2d-immutable/description/

Problem:

Given a 2D matrix matrix, find the sum of the elements inside the rectangle defined by its upper left corner (row1, col1) and lower right corner (row2, col2).

Range Sum Query 2D
The above rectangle (with the red border) is defined by (row1, col1) = (2, 1) and (row2, col2) = (4, 3), which contains sum = 8.

Example:

Note:

  1. You may assume that the matrix does not change.
  2. There are many calls to sumRegion function.
  3. You may assume that row1 ≤ row2 and col1 ≤ col2.

Time complexity:
O(n^2)
sumRegion: O(1)
