花花酱 LeetCode 1114. Print in Order

Suppose we have a class:

The same instance of Foo will be passed to three different threads. Thread A will call first(), thread B will call second(), and thread C will call third(). Design a mechanism and modify the program to ensure that second() is executed after first(), and third() is executed after second().

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3]
Output: "firstsecondthird"
Explanation: There are three threads being fired asynchronously. The input [1,2,3] means thread A calls first(), thread B calls second(), and thread C calls third(). "firstsecondthird" is the correct output.

Example 2:

Input: [1,3,2]
Output: "firstsecondthird"
Explanation: The input [1,3,2] means thread A calls first(), thread B calls third(), and thread C calls second(). "firstsecondthird" is the correct output.

Note:

We do not know how the threads will be scheduled in the operating system, even though the numbers in the input seems to imply the ordering. The input format you see is mainly to ensure our tests’ comprehensiveness.

Solution 1: Mutex

Solution 2: Busy waiting

花花酱 LeetCode 217. Contains Duplicate

Given an array of integers, find if the array contains any duplicates.

Your function should return true if any value appears at least twice in the array, and it should return false if every element is distinct.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3,1]
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: [1,2,3,4]
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: [1,1,1,3,3,4,3,2,4,2]
Output: true

Solution 1: HashTable

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

C++

Solution 2: Sorting

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

花花酱 LeetCode 226. Invert Binary Tree

Invert a binary tree.

Example:

Input:

     4
   /   \
  2     7
 / \   / \
1   3 6   9

Output:

     4
   /   \
  7     2
 / \   / \
9   6 3   1

Trivia:
This problem was inspired by this original tweet by Max Howell:

Google: 90% of our engineers use the software you wrote (Homebrew), but you can’t invert a binary tree on a whiteboard so f*** off.

Solution: Recursion

Recursive invert the left and right subtrees and swap them.

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

花花酱 LeetCode 1128. Number of Equivalent Domino Pairs

Given a list of dominoesdominoes[i] = [a, b] is equivalent to dominoes[j] = [c, d] if and only if either (a==c and b==d), or (a==d and b==c) – that is, one domino can be rotated to be equal to another domino.

Return the number of pairs (i, j) for which 0 <= i < j < dominoes.length, and dominoes[i] is equivalent to dominoes[j].

Example 1:

Input: dominoes = [[1,2],[2,1],[3,4],[5,6]]
Output: 1

Constraints:

  • 1 <= dominoes.length <= 40000
  • 1 <= dominoes[i][j] <= 9

Solution: HashTable

Count how many times each key occurred so far.

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(100)

花花酱 LeetCode 1108. Defanging an IP Address

Given a valid (IPv4) IP address, return a defanged version of that IP address.

defanged IP address replaces every period "." with "[.]".

Example 1:

Input: address = "1.1.1.1"
Output: "1[.]1[.]1[.]1"

Example 2:

Input: address = "255.100.50.0"
Output: "255[.]100[.]50[.]0"

Constraints:

  • The given address is a valid IPv4 address.



Solution: String

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