花花酱 LeetCode 1480. Running Sum of 1d Array

By zxi on June 14, 2020

Given an array nums. We define a running sum of an array as runningSum[i] = sum(nums[0]…nums[i]).

Return the running sum of nums.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4]
Output: [1,3,6,10]
Explanation: Running sum is obtained as follows: [1, 1+2, 1+2+3, 1+2+3+4].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,1,1,1,1]
Output: [1,2,3,4,5]
Explanation: Running sum is obtained as follows: [1, 1+1, 1+1+1, 1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1].

Example 3:

Input: nums = [3,1,2,10,1]
Output: [3,4,6,16,17]

Constraints:

1 <= nums.length <= 1000
-10^6 <= nums[i] <= 10^6

Solution

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<int> runningSum(vector<int>& nums) {

vector<int> ans(nums);

for (int i = 1; i < ans.size(); ++i)

ans[i] += ans[i - 1];

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 1475. Final Prices With a Special Discount in a Shop

By zxi on June 13, 2020

Given the array prices where prices[i] is the price of the ith item in a shop. There is a special discount for items in the shop, if you buy the ith item, then you will receive a discount equivalent to prices[j] where j is the minimum index such that j > i and prices[j] <= prices[i], otherwise, you will not receive any discount at all.

Return an array where the ith element is the final price you will pay for the ith item of the shop considering the special discount.

Example 1:

Input: prices = [8,4,6,2,3]
Output: [4,2,4,2,3]
Explanation: 
For item 0 with price[0]=8 you will receive a discount equivalent to prices[1]=4, therefore, the final price you will pay is 8 - 4 = 4. 
For item 1 with price[1]=4 you will receive a discount equivalent to prices[3]=2, therefore, the final price you will pay is 4 - 2 = 2. 
For item 2 with price[2]=6 you will receive a discount equivalent to prices[3]=2, therefore, the final price you will pay is 6 - 2 = 4. 
For items 3 and 4 you will not receive any discount at all.

Example 2:

Input: prices = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: [1,2,3,4,5]
Explanation: In this case, for all items, you will not receive any discount at all.

Example 3:

Input: prices = [10,1,1,6]
Output: [9,0,1,6]

Constraints:

1 <= prices.length <= 500
1 <= prices[i] <= 10^3

Solution 1: Simulation

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<int> finalPrices(vector<int> prices) {

const int n = prices.size();

for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)

for (int j = i + 1; j < n; ++j)

if (prices[j] <= prices[i]) {

prices[i] -= prices[j];

break;

}

return prices;

}

};

Solution 2: Monotonic Stack

Use a stack to store monotonically increasing items, when the current item is cheaper than the top of the stack, we get the discount and pop that item. Repeat until the current item is no longer cheaper or the stack becomes empty.

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<int> finalPrices(vector<int> prices) {

// stores pointers of monotonically incraseing elements.

stack<int*> s;

for (int& p : prices) {

while (!s.empty() && *s.top() >= p) {

*s.top() -= p;

s.pop();

}

s.push(&p);

}

return prices;

}

};

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<int> finalPrices(vector<int> prices) {

// stores indices of monotonically incraseing elements.

stack<int> s;

for (int i = 0; i < prices.size(); ++i) {

while (!s.empty() && prices[s.top()] >= prices[i]) {

prices[s.top()] -= prices[i];

s.pop();

}

s.push(i);

}

return prices;

}

花花酱 LeetCode 1470. Shuffle the Array

By zxi on June 6, 2020

Given the array nums consisting of 2n elements in the form [x₁,x₂,...,x_n,y₁,y₂,...,y_n].

Return the array in the form [x₁,y₁,x₂,y₂,...,x_n,y_n].

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,5,1,3,4,7], n = 3
Output: [2,3,5,4,1,7] 
Explanation: Since x₁=2, x₂=5, x₃=1, y₁=3, y₂=4, y₃=7 then the answer is [2,3,5,4,1,7].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1], n = 4
Output: [1,4,2,3,3,2,4,1]

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,1,2,2], n = 2
Output: [1,2,1,2]

Constraints:

1 <= n <= 500
nums.length == 2n
1 <= nums[i] <= 10^3

Solution: Simulation

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<int> shuffle(vector<int>& nums, int n) {

vector<int> ans(n * 2);

for (int i = 0; i < 2 * n; ++i)

ans[i] = nums[i / 2 + n * (i % 2)];

return ans;

}

花花酱 LeetCode 1464. Maximum Product of Two Elements in an Array

By zxi on May 31, 2020

Given the array of integers nums, you will choose two different indices i and j of that array. Return the maximum value of(nums[i]-1)*(nums[j]-1).

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,4,5,2]
Output: 12 
Explanation: If you choose the indices i=1 and j=2 (indexed from 0), you will get the maximum value, that is, (nums[1]-1)*(nums[2]-1) = (4-1)*(5-1) = 3*4 = 12.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,5,4,5]
Output: 16
Explanation: Choosing the indices i=1 and j=3 (indexed from 0), you will get the maximum value of (5-1)*(5-1) = 16.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [3,7]
Output: 12

Constraints:

2 <= nums.length <= 500
1 <= nums[i] <= 10^3

Solution 1: Sort

We want to find the largest and second largest elements.

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int maxProduct(vector<int>& nums) {

sort(rbegin(nums), rend(nums));

return (nums[0] - 1) * (nums[1] - 1);

}

};

Solution 2: Without sorting

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int maxProduct(vector<int>& nums) {

int m1 = 0;

int m2 = 0;

for (int n : nums) {

if (n > m1) {

m2 = m1;

m1 = n;

} else if (n > m2) {

m2 = n;

}

return (m1 - 1) * (m2 - 1);

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 1460. Make Two Arrays Equal by Reversing Sub-arrays

By zxi on May 30, 2020

Given two integer arrays of equal length target and arr.

In one step, you can select any non-empty sub-array of arr and reverse it. You are allowed to make any number of steps.

Return True if you can make arr equal to target, or False otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: target = [1,2,3,4], arr = [2,4,1,3]
Output: true
Explanation: You can follow the next steps to convert arr to target:
1- Reverse sub-array [2,4,1], arr becomes [1,4,2,3]
2- Reverse sub-array [4,2], arr becomes [1,2,4,3]
3- Reverse sub-array [4,3], arr becomes [1,2,3,4]
There are multiple ways to convert arr to target, this is not the only way to do so.

Example 2:

Input: target = [7], arr = [7]
Output: true
Explanation: arr is equal to target without any reverses.

Example 3:

Input: target = [1,12], arr = [12,1]
Output: true

Example 4:

Input: target = [3,7,9], arr = [3,7,11]
Output: false
Explanation: arr doesn't have value 9 and it can never be converted to target.

Example 5:

Input: target = [1,1,1,1,1], arr = [1,1,1,1,1]
Output: true

Constraints:

target.length == arr.length
1 <= target.length <= 1000
1 <= target[i] <= 1000
1 <= arr[i] <= 1000

Solution: Counting

target and arr must have same elements.

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1001)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

bool canBeEqual(vector<int>& target, vector<int>& arr) {

vector<int> t(1001);

vector<int> a(1001);

for (int i = 0; i < target.size(); ++i) {

++t[target[i]];

++a[arr[i]];

}

return t == a;

}

};

return Counter(target) == Counter(arr)
