花花酱 LeetCode 1497. Check If Array Pairs Are Divisible by k

By zxi on June 28, 2020

Given an array of integers arr of even length n and an integer k.

We want to divide the array into exactly n / 2 pairs such that the sum of each pair is divisible by k.

Return True If you can find a way to do that or False otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: arr = [1,2,3,4,5,10,6,7,8,9], k = 5
Output: true
Explanation: Pairs are (1,9),(2,8),(3,7),(4,6) and (5,10).

Example 2:

Input: arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6], k = 7
Output: true
Explanation: Pairs are (1,6),(2,5) and(3,4).

Example 3:

Input: arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6], k = 10
Output: false
Explanation: You can try all possible pairs to see that there is no way to divide arr into 3 pairs each with sum divisible by 10.

Example 4:

Input: arr = [-10,10], k = 2
Output: true

Example 5:

Input: arr = [-1,1,-2,2,-3,3,-4,4], k = 3
Output: true

Constraints:

arr.length == n
1 <= n <= 10^5
n is even.
-10^9 <= arr[i] <= 10^9
1 <= k <= 10^5

Solution: Mod and Count

Count the frequency of (x % k + k) % k.
f[0] should be even (zero is also even)
f[1] = f[k -1] ((1 + k – 1) % k == 0)
f[2] = f[k -2] ((2 + k – 2) % k == 0)
…
Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(k)

class Solution {

public:

bool canArrange(vector<int>& arr, int k) {

vector<int> f(k);

for (int x : arr) ++f[(x % k + k) % k];

for (int i = 1; i < k; ++i)

if (f[i] != f[k - i]) return false;

return f[0] % 2 == 0;

}

花花酱 LeetCode 1481. Least Number of Unique Integers after K Removals

By zxi on June 14, 2020

Given an array of integers arr and an integer k. Find the least number of unique integers after removing exactly k elements.

Example 1:

Input: arr = [5,5,4], k = 1
Output: 1
Explanation: Remove the single 4, only 5 is left.

Example 2:

Input: arr = [4,3,1,1,3,3,2], k = 3
Output: 2
Explanation: Remove 4, 2 and either one of the two 1s or three 3s. 1 and 3 will be left.

Constraints:

1 <= arr.length <= 10^5
1 <= arr[i] <= 10^9
0 <= k <= arr.length

Solution: Greedy

Count the frequency of each unique number. Sort by frequency, remove items with lowest frequency first.

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

for (const auto [x, f] : c)

m.push_back(f);

sort(begin(m), end(m));

花花酱 LeetCode 1370. Increasing Decreasing String

By zxi on March 7, 2020

Given a string s. You should re-order the string using the following algorithm:

Pick the smallest character from s and append it to the result.
Pick the smallest character from s which is greater than the last appended character to the result and append it.
Repeat step 2 until you cannot pick more characters.
Pick the largest character from s and append it to the result.
Pick the largest character from s which is smaller than the last appended character to the result and append it.
Repeat step 5 until you cannot pick more characters.
Repeat the steps from 1 to 6 until you pick all characters from s.

In each step, If the smallest or the largest character appears more than once you can choose any occurrence and append it to the result.

Return the result string after sorting s with this algorithm.

Example 1:

Input: s = "aaaabbbbcccc"
Output: "abccbaabccba"
Explanation: After steps 1, 2 and 3 of the first iteration, result = "abc"
After steps 4, 5 and 6 of the first iteration, result = "abccba"
First iteration is done. Now s = "aabbcc" and we go back to step 1
After steps 1, 2 and 3 of the second iteration, result = "abccbaabc"
After steps 4, 5 and 6 of the second iteration, result = "abccbaabccba"

Example 2:

Input: s = "rat"
Output: "art"
Explanation: The word "rat" becomes "art" after re-ordering it with the mentioned algorithm.

Example 3:

Input: s = "leetcode"
Output: "cdelotee"

Example 4:

Input: s = "ggggggg"
Output: "ggggggg"

Example 5:

Input: s = "spo"
Output: "ops"

Constraints:

1 <= s.length <= 500
s contains only lower-case English letters.

花花酱 LeetCode 1178. Number of Valid Words for Each Puzzle

By zxi on September 1, 2019

With respect to a given puzzle string, a word is valid if both the following conditions are satisfied:

word contains the first letter of puzzle.
For each letter in word, that letter is in puzzle.
For example, if the puzzle is “abcdefg”, then valid words are “faced”, “cabbage”, and “baggage”; while invalid words are “beefed” (doesn’t include “a”) and “based” (includes “s” which isn’t in the puzzle).

Return an array answer, where answer[i] is the number of words in the given word list words that are valid with respect to the puzzle puzzles[i].

Example :

Input: 
words = ["aaaa","asas","able","ability","actt","actor","access"], 
puzzles = ["aboveyz","abrodyz","abslute","absoryz","actresz","gaswxyz"]
Output: [1,1,3,2,4,0]
Explanation:
1 valid word for "aboveyz" : "aaaa" 
1 valid word for "abrodyz" : "aaaa"
3 valid words for "abslute" : "aaaa", "asas", "able"
2 valid words for "absoryz" : "aaaa", "asas"
4 valid words for "actresz" : "aaaa", "asas", "actt", "access"
There're no valid words for "gaswxyz" cause none of the words in the list contains letter 'g'.

Constraints:

1 <= words.length <= 10^5
4 <= words[i].length <= 50
1 <= puzzles.length <= 10^4
puzzles[i].length == 7
words[i][j], puzzles[i][j] are English lowercase letters.
Each puzzles[i] doesn’t contain repeated characters.

Solution: Subsets

Preprocessing:
Compress each word to a bit map, and compute the frequency of each bit map.
Since there are at most |words| bitmaps while its value ranging from 0 to 2^26, thus it’s better to use a hashtable instead of an array.

Query:
Use the same way to compress a puzzle into a bit map.
Try all subsets (at most 128) of the puzzle (the bit of the first character is be must), and check how many words match each subset.

words = [“aaaa”,”asas”,”able”,”ability”,”actt”,”actor”,”access”],
puzzle = “abslute”
bitmap(“aaaa”) = {0}
bitmap(“asas”) = {0, 18}
bitmap(“able”) = {0,1,4,11}
bitmap(“actt”) = {0, 2, 19}
bitmap(“actor”) = {0, 2, 14, 17, 19}
bitmap(“access”) = {0, 2, 4, 18}

bitmap(“abslute”) = {0, 1, 4, 11, 18, 19, 20}

Time complexity: O(sum(len(w_i)) + |puzzles|)
Space complexity: O(|words|)

花花酱 LeetCode 1177. Can Make Palindrome from Substring

By zxi on September 1, 2019

Given a string s, we make queries on substrings of s.

For each query queries[i] = [left, right, k], we may rearrange the substring s[left], ..., s[right], and then choose up to k of them to replace with any lowercase English letter.

If the substring is possible to be a palindrome string after the operations above, the result of the query is true. Otherwise, the result is false.

Return an array answer[], where answer[i] is the result of the i-th query queries[i].

Note that: Each letter is counted individually for replacement so if for example s[left..right] = "aaa", and k = 2, we can only replace two of the letters. (Also, note that the initial string s is never modified by any query.)

Example :

Input: s = "abcda", queries = [[3,3,0],[1,2,0],[0,3,1],[0,3,2],[0,4,1]]
Output: [true,false,false,true,true]
Explanation:
queries[0] : substring = "d", is palidrome.
queries[1] : substring = "bc", is not palidrome.
queries[2] : substring = "abcd", is not palidrome after replacing only 1 character.
queries[3] : substring = "abcd", could be changed to "abba" which is palidrome. Also this can be changed to "baab" first rearrange it "bacd" then replace "cd" with "ab".
queries[4] : substring = "abcda", could be changed to "abcba" which is palidrome.

Constraints:

1 <= s.length, queries.length <= 10^5
0 <= queries[i][0] <= queries[i][1] < s.length
0 <= queries[i][2] <= s.length
s only contains lowercase English letters.

Solution: Prefix frequency

Compute the prefix frequency of each characters, then we can efficiently compute the frequency of each characters in the substring in O(1) time. Count the number odd frequency characters o, we can convert it to a palindrome if o / 2 <= k.

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<bool> canMakePaliQueries(string s, vector<vector<int>>& queries) {

vector<bool> ans;

int n = s.length();

vector<vector<int>> f(n + 1, vector<int>(26));

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

++f[i][s[i] - 'a'];

f[i + 1] = f[i];

}

for (const auto& q : queries) {

int l = q[0];

int r = q[1];

int k = q[2];

int o = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < 26; ++i) {

int c = f[r][i] - (l == 0 ? 0 : f[l - 1][i]);

o += c % 2;

}

ans.push_back(o / 2 <= k);

}

return ans;

}
