花花酱 LeetCode 414. Third Maximum Number

By zxi on March 17, 2018

Problem

https://leetcode.com/problems/third-maximum-number/description/

Given a non-empty array of integers, return the third maximum number in this array. If it does not exist, return the maximum number. The time complexity must be in O(n).

Example 1:

Input: [3, 2, 1]

Output: 1

Explanation: The third maximum is 1.

Example 2:

Input: [1, 2]

Output: 2

Explanation: The third maximum does not exist, so the maximum (2) is returned instead.

Example 3:

Input: [2, 2, 3, 1]

Output: 1

Explanation: Note that the third maximum here means the third maximum distinct number.
Both numbers with value 2 are both considered as second maximum.

Solution: Set

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 401. Binary Watch

By zxi on March 17, 2018

Problem:

A binary watch has 4 LEDs on the top which represent the hours (0-11), and the 6 LEDs on the bottom represent the minutes (0-59).

Each LED represents a zero or one, with the least significant bit on the right.

For example, the above binary watch reads “3:25”.

Given a non-negative integer n which represents the number of LEDs that are currently on, return all possible times the watch could represent.

Example:

Input: n = 1
Return: ["1:00", "2:00", "4:00", "8:00", "0:01", "0:02", "0:04", "0:08", "0:16", "0:32"]

Note:

The order of output does not matter.
The hour must not contain a leading zero, for example “01:00” is not valid, it should be “1:00”.
The minute must be consist of two digits and may contain a leading zero, for example “10:2” is not valid, it should be “10:02”.

花花酱 LeetCode 383. Ransom Note

By zxi on March 15, 2018

题目大意：给你一个字符串，问能否用它其中的字符组成另外一个字符串，每个字符只能使用一次。

Problem:

Given an arbitrary ransom note string and another string containing letters from all the magazines, write a function that will return true if the ransom note can be constructed from the magazines ; otherwise, it will return false.

Each letter in the magazine string can only be used once in your ransom note.

Note:
You may assume that both strings contain only lowercase letters.

canConstruct("a", "b") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "ab") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "aab") -> true

花花酱 LeetCode 278. First Bad Version

By zxi on March 15, 2018

题目大意：给你一个API查询版本是否坏了，让你找出第一个坏掉的版本。

Problem:

https://leetcode.com/problems/first-bad-version/description/

You are a product manager and currently leading a team to develop a new product. Unfortunately, the latest version of your product fails the quality check. Since each version is developed based on the previous version, all the versions after a bad version are also bad.

Suppose you have n versions [1, 2, ..., n] and you want to find out the first bad one, which causes all the following ones to be bad.

You are given an API bool isBadVersion(version) which will return whether version is bad. Implement a function to find the first bad version. You should minimize the number of calls to the API.

Solution 1: Brute Force

Time Complexity: O(n) TLE

Space Complexity: O(1)

Solution 2: Binary Search

Time Complexity: O(logn)

Space Complexity: O(1)

// Forward declaration of isBadVersion API.

bool isBadVersion(int version);

// Author: Huahua

// Running time: 2 ms

class Solution {

public:

int firstBadVersion(int n) {

int l = 1;

int r = n;

while (l < r) {

int m = l + (r - l) / 2;

if (isBadVersion(m))

r = m;

else

l = m + 1;

}

return l;

}
