花花酱 2570. Merge Two 2D Arrays by Summing Values

By zxi on February 18, 2023

You are given two 2D integer arrays nums1 and nums2.

nums1[i] = [id_i, val_i] indicate that the number with the id id_i has a value equal to val_i.
nums2[i] = [id_i, val_i] indicate that the number with the id id_i has a value equal to val_i.

Each array contains unique ids and is sorted in ascending order by id.

Merge the two arrays into one array that is sorted in ascending order by id, respecting the following conditions:

Only ids that appear in at least one of the two arrays should be included in the resulting array.
Each id should be included only once and its value should be the sum of the values of this id in the two arrays. If the id does not exist in one of the two arrays then its value in that array is considered to be 0.

Return the resulting array. The returned array must be sorted in ascending order by id.

Example 1:

Input: nums1 = [[1,2],[2,3],[4,5]], nums2 = [[1,4],[3,2],[4,1]]
Output: [[1,6],[2,3],[3,2],[4,6]]
Explanation: The resulting array contains the following:
- id = 1, the value of this id is 2 + 4 = 6.
- id = 2, the value of this id is 3.
- id = 3, the value of this id is 2.
- id = 4, the value of this id is 5 + 1 = 6.

Example 2:

Input: nums1 = [[2,4],[3,6],[5,5]], nums2 = [[1,3],[4,3]]
Output: [[1,3],[2,4],[3,6],[4,3],[5,5]]
Explanation: There are no common ids, so we just include each id with its value in the resulting list.

Constraints:

1 <= nums1.length, nums2.length <= 200
nums1[i].length == nums2[j].length == 2
1 <= id_i, val_i <= 1000
Both arrays contain unique ids.
Both arrays are in strictly ascending order by id.

Solution: Two Pointers

const int id1 = i < nums1.size() ? nums1[i][0] : INT_MAX;

const int id2 = j < nums2.size() ? nums2[j][0] : INT_MAX;

if (id1 == id2) {

ans.push_back({id1, nums1[i++][1] + nums2[j++][1]});

} else if (id1 < id2) {

花花酱 LeetCode 2553. Separate the Digits in an Array

By zxi on February 13, 2023

Given an array of positive integers nums, return an array answer that consists of the digits of each integer in nums after separating them in the same order they appear in nums.

To separate the digits of an integer is to get all the digits it has in the same order.

For example, for the integer 10921, the separation of its digits is [1,0,9,2,1].

Example 1:

Input: nums = [13,25,83,77]
Output: [1,3,2,5,8,3,7,7]
Explanation: 
- The separation of 13 is [1,3].
- The separation of 25 is [2,5].
- The separation of 83 is [8,3].
- The separation of 77 is [7,7].
answer = [1,3,2,5,8,3,7,7]. Note that answer contains the separations in the same order.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [7,1,3,9]
Output: [7,1,3,9]
Explanation: The separation of each integer in nums is itself.
answer = [7,1,3,9].

Constraints:

1 <= nums.length <= 1000
1 <= nums[i] <= 10⁵

Solution: Stack

Time complexity: O(sum(log(nums[i]))
Space complexity: O(log(nums[i]))

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

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

vector<int> ans;

for (int n : nums) {

stack<int> cur;

for (int x = n; x; x /= 10)

cur.push(x % 10);

while (!cur.empty())

ans.push_back(cur.top()), cur.pop();

}

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 2562. Find the Array Concatenation Value

By zxi on February 12, 2023

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums.

The concatenation of two numbers is the number formed by concatenating their numerals.

For example, the concatenation of 15, 49 is 1549.

The concatenation value of nums is initially equal to 0. Perform this operation until nums becomes empty:

If there exists more than one number in nums, pick the first element and last element in nums respectively and add the value of their concatenation to the concatenation value of nums, then delete the first and last element from nums.
If one element exists, add its value to the concatenation value of nums, then delete it.

Return the concatenation value of the nums.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [7,52,2,4]
Output: 596
Explanation: Before performing any operation, nums is [7,52,2,4] and concatenation value is 0.
 - In the first operation:
We pick the first element, 7, and the last element, 4.
Their concatenation is 74, and we add it to the concatenation value, so it becomes equal to 74.
Then we delete them from nums, so nums becomes equal to [52,2].
 - In the second operation:
We pick the first element, 52, and the last element, 2.
Their concatenation is 522, and we add it to the concatenation value, so it becomes equal to 596.
Then we delete them from the nums, so nums becomes empty.
Since the concatenation value is 596 so the answer is 596.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5,14,13,8,12]
Output: 673
Explanation: Before performing any operation, nums is [5,14,13,8,12] and concatenation value is 0.
 - In the first operation:
We pick the first element, 5, and the last element, 12.
Their concatenation is 512, and we add it to the concatenation value, so it becomes equal to 512.
Then we delete them from the nums, so nums becomes equal to [14,13,8].
 - In the second operation:
We pick the first element, 14, and the last element, 8.
Their concatenation is 148, and we add it to the concatenation value, so it becomes equal to 660.
Then we delete them from the nums, so nums becomes equal to [13].
 - In the third operation:
nums has only one element, so we pick 13 and add it to the concatenation value, so it becomes equal to 673.
Then we delete it from nums, so nums become empty.
Since the concatenation value is 673 so the answer is 673.

Constraints:

1 <= nums.length <= 1000
1 <= nums[i] <= 10⁴

Solution: Follow the rules

Time complexity: O(sum(log(nums[i]))
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

long long findTheArrayConcVal(vector<int>& nums) {

long long ans = 0;

const int n = nums.size();

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

int cur = nums[i];

for (int t = nums[n - i - 1]; t > 0; t /= 10)

cur *= 10;

cur += nums[n - i - 1];

ans += cur;

}

if (n & 1) ans += nums[n / 2];

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 2558. Take Gifts From the Richest Pile

By zxi on February 4, 2023

You are given an integer array gifts denoting the number of gifts in various piles. Every second, you do the following:

Choose the pile with the maximum number of gifts.
If there is more than one pile with the maximum number of gifts, choose any.
Leave behind the floor of the square root of the number of gifts in the pile. Take the rest of the gifts.

Return the number of gifts remaining after k seconds.

Example 1:

Input: gifts = [25,64,9,4,100], k = 4
Output: 29
Explanation: 
The gifts are taken in the following way:
- In the first second, the last pile is chosen and 10 gifts are left behind.
- Then the second pile is chosen and 8 gifts are left behind.
- After that the first pile is chosen and 5 gifts are left behind.
- Finally, the last pile is chosen again and 3 gifts are left behind.
The final remaining gifts are [5,8,9,4,3], so the total number of gifts remaining is 29.

Example 2:

Input: gifts = [1,1,1,1], k = 4
Output: 4
Explanation: 
In this case, regardless which pile you choose, you have to leave behind 1 gift in each pile. 
That is, you can't take any pile with you. 
So, the total gifts remaining are 4.

Constraints:

1 <= gifts.length <= 10³
1 <= gifts[i] <= 10⁹
1 <= k <= 10³

Solution: Priority Queue

Keep all numbers in a priority queue (max heap), each time extract the top one (largest one), then put num – sqrt(num) back to the queue.

Tip: We can early return if all the numbers become 1.

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

long long pickGifts(vector<int>& gifts, int k) {

long long ans = accumulate(begin(gifts), end(gifts), 0LL);

priority_queue<int> q(begin(gifts), end(gifts));

while (k-- && q.top() > 1) {

int cur = q.top(); q.pop();

int next = sqrt(cur);

ans -= (cur - next);

q.push(next);

}

return ans;

}

};
