花花酱 LeetCode 1295. Find Numbers with Even Number of Digits

Given an array nums of integers, return how many of them contain an even number of digits.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [12,345,2,6,7896]
Output: 2
Explanation: 
12 contains 2 digits (even number of digits). 
345 contains 3 digits (odd number of digits). 
2 contains 1 digit (odd number of digits). 
6 contains 1 digit (odd number of digits). 
7896 contains 4 digits (even number of digits). 
Therefore only 12 and 7896 contain an even number of digits.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [555,901,482,1771]
Output: 1 
Explanation: 
Only 1771 contains an even number of digits.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 500
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^5

Solution: Math

Time complexity: O(n * log(max(num)))
Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 1287. Element Appearing More Than 25% In Sorted Array

Given an integer array sorted in non-decreasing order, there is exactly one integer in the array that occurs more than 25% of the time.

Return that integer.

Example 1:

Constraints:

  • 1 <= arr.length <= 10^4
  • 0 <= arr[i] <= 10^5

Solution 1: Linear Scan

if arr[i] == arr[i + len/4] => arr[i] is the special integer.

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

C++

Solution 2: Binary Search

The answer must be one of (s[0], s[l/4], s[l/2], s[l*3/4])
Using binary search to find the range of each number, the one has more than 1/4 of total elements is the answer.

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

花花酱 LeetCode 405. Convert a Number to Hexadecimal

Given an integer, write an algorithm to convert it to hexadecimal. For negative integer, two’s complement method is used.

Note:

All letters in hexadecimal (a-f) must be in lowercase.
The hexadecimal string must not contain extra leading 0s. If the number is zero, it is represented by a single zero character ‘0’; otherwise, the first character in the hexadecimal string will not be the zero character.
The given number is guaranteed to fit within the range of a 32-bit signed integer.
You must not use any method provided by the library which converts/formats the number to hex directly.
Example 1:

Input:
26

Output:
“1a”
Example 2:

Input:
-1

Output:
“ffffffff”

Solution: Simulation

if input is negative, add 2^32 to it (e.g. set the highest bit to 1)
while num is non zero, mod it by 16 and prepend the remainder to ans string, then divide num by 16.

Time complexity: O(logn)
Space complexity: O(logn)

花花酱 LeetCode 1275. Find Winner on a Tic Tac Toe Game

Tic-tac-toe is played by two players A and B on a 3 x 3 grid.

Here are the rules of Tic-Tac-Toe:

  • Players take turns placing characters into empty squares (” “).
  • The first player A always places “X” characters, while the second player B always places “O” characters.
  • “X” and “O” characters are always placed into empty squares, never on filled ones.
  • The game ends when there are 3 of the same (non-empty) character filling any row, column, or diagonal.
  • The game also ends if all squares are non-empty.
  • No more moves can be played if the game is over.

Given an array moves where each element is another array of size 2 corresponding to the row and column of the grid where they mark their respective character in the order in which A and B play.

Return the winner of the game if it exists (A or B), in case the game ends in a draw return “Draw”, if there are still movements to play return “Pending”.

You can assume that moves is valid (It follows the rules of Tic-Tac-Toe), the grid is initially empty and A will play first.

Example 1:

Input: moves = [[0,0],[2,0],[1,1],[2,1],[2,2]]
Output: "A"
Explanation: "A" wins, he always plays first.
"X  "    "X  "    "X  "    "X  "    "X  "
"   " -> "   " -> " X " -> " X " -> " X "
"   "    "O  "    "O  "    "OO "    "OOX"

Example 2:

Input: moves = [[0,0],[1,1],[0,1],[0,2],[1,0],[2,0]]
Output: "B"
Explanation: "B" wins.
"X  "    "X  "    "XX "    "XXO"    "XXO"    "XXO"
"   " -> " O " -> " O " -> " O " -> "XO " -> "XO " 
"   "    "   "    "   "    "   "    "   "    "O  "

Example 3:

Input: moves = [[0,0],[1,1],[2,0],[1,0],[1,2],[2,1],[0,1],[0,2],[2,2]]
Output: "Draw"
Explanation: The game ends in a draw since there are no moves to make.
"XXO"
"OOX"
"XOX"

Example 4:

Input: moves = [[0,0],[1,1]]
Output: "Pending"
Explanation: The game has not finished yet.
"X  "
" O "
"   "

Constraints:

  • 1 <= moves.length <= 9
  • moves[i].length == 2
  • 0 <= moves[i][j] <= 2
  • There are no repeated elements on moves.
  • moves follow the rules of tic tac toe.

Solution: Simulation

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

花花酱 LeetCode 1271. Hexspeak

A decimal number can be converted to its Hexspeak representation by first converting it to an uppercase hexadecimal string, then replacing all occurrences of the digit 0 with the letter O, and the digit 1 with the letter I.  Such a representation is valid if and only if it consists only of the letters in the set {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "I", "O"}.

Given a string num representing a decimal integer N, return the Hexspeak representation of N if it is valid, otherwise return "ERROR".

Example 1:

Input: num = "257"
Output: "IOI"
Explanation:  257 is 101 in hexadecimal.

Example 2:

Input: num = "3"
Output: "ERROR"

Constraints:

  • 1 <= N <= 10^12
  • There are no leading zeros in the given string.
  • All answers must be in uppercase letters.

Solution: Simulation

Time complexity: O(logn)
Space complexity: O(logn)
