花花酱 LeetCode 851. Loud and Rich

In a group of N people (labelled 0, 1, 2, ..., N-1), each person has different amounts of money, and different levels of quietness.

For convenience, we’ll call the person with label x, simply “person x“.

We’ll say that richer[i] = [x, y] if person x definitely has more money than person y.  Note that richer may only be a subset of valid observations.

Also, we’ll say quiet[x] = q if person x has quietness q.

Now, return answer, where answer[x] = y if y is the least quiet person (that is, the person y with the smallest value of quiet[y]), among all people who definitely have equal to or more money than person x.

Example 1:

Input: richer = [[1,0],[2,1],[3,1],[3,7],[4,3],[5,3],[6,3]], quiet = [3,2,5,4,6,1,7,0]
Output: [5,5,2,5,4,5,6,7]
Explanation: 
answer[0] = 5.
Person 5 has more money than 3, which has more money than 1, which has more money than 0.
The only person who is quieter (has lower quiet[x]) is person 7, but
it isn't clear if they have more money than person 0.

answer[7] = 7.
Among all people that definitely have equal to or more money than person 7
(which could be persons 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7), the person who is the quietest (has lower quiet[x])
is person 7.

The other answers can be filled out with similar reasoning.

Note:

  1. 1 <= quiet.length = N <= 500
  2. 0 <= quiet[i] < N, all quiet[i] are different.
  3. 0 <= richer.length <= N * (N-1) / 2
  4. 0 <= richer[i][j] < N
  5. richer[i][0] != richer[i][1]
  6. richer[i]‘s are all different.
  7. The observations in richer are all logically consistent.

Solution: DFS + Memoization

For person i , remember the quietest person who is richer than person i.

花花酱 LeetCode 997. Find the Town Judge

In a town, there are N people labelled from 1 to N.  There is a rumor that one of these people is secretly the town judge.

If the town judge exists, then:

  1. The town judge trusts nobody.
  2. Everybody (except for the town judge) trusts the town judge.
  3. There is exactly one person that satisfies properties 1 and 2.

You are given trust, an array of pairs trust[i] = [a, b] representing that the person labelled a trusts the person labelled b.

If the town judge exists and can be identified, return the label of the town judge.  Otherwise, return -1.

Example 1:

Input: N = 2, trust = [[1,2]]
Output: 2

Example 2:

Input: N = 3, trust = [[1,3],[2,3]]
Output: 3

Example 3:

Input: N = 3, trust = [[1,3],[2,3],[3,1]]
Output: -1

Example 4:

Input: N = 3, trust = [[1,2],[2,3]]
Output: -1

Example 5:

Input: N = 4, trust = [[1,3],[1,4],[2,3],[2,4],[4,3]]
Output: 3

Note:

  1. 1 <= N <= 1000
  2. trust.length <= 10000
  3. trust[i] are all different
  4. trust[i][0] != trust[i][1]
  5. 1 <= trust[i][0], trust[i][1] <= N

Solution: Degree

node with degree (in_degree – out_degree) N – 1 is the judge.

Space complexity: O(N)

花花酱 LeetCode 133. Clone Graph

Given the head of a graph, return a deep copy (clone) of the graph. Each node in the graph contains a label (int) and a list (List[UndirectedGraphNode]) of its neighbors. There is an edge between the given node and each of the nodes in its neighbors.
OJ’s undirected graph serialization (so you can understand error output):

Nodes are labeled uniquely.We use # as a separator for each node, and , as a separator for node label and each neighbor of the node.

As an example, consider the serialized graph {0,1,2#1,2#2,2}.

The graph has a total of three nodes, and therefore contains three parts as separated by #.

  1. First node is labeled as 0. Connect node 0 to both nodes 1 and 2.
  2. Second node is labeled as 1. Connect node 1 to node 2.
  3. Third node is labeled as 2. Connect node 2 to node 2 (itself), thus forming a self-cycle.

Visually, the graph looks like the following:

       1
      / \
     /   \
    0 --- 2
         / \
         \_/

Note: The information about the tree serialization is only meant so that you can understand error output if you get a wrong answer. You don’t need to understand the serialization to solve the problem.

花花酱 LeetCode 990. Satisfiability of Equality Equations

Given an array equations of strings that represent relationships between variables, each string equations[i] has length 4 and takes one of two different forms: "a==b" or "a!=b".  Here, a and b are lowercase letters (not necessarily different) that represent one-letter variable names.

Return true if and only if it is possible to assign integers to variable names so as to satisfy all the given equations.

Example 1:

Input: ["a==b","b!=a"]
Output: false
Explanation: If we assign say, a = 1 and b = 1, then the first equation is satisfied, but not the second.  There is no way to assign the variables to satisfy both equations.

Example 2:

Input: ["b==a","a==b"]
Output: true
Explanation: We could assign a = 1 and b = 1 to satisfy both equations.

Example 3:

Input: ["a==b","b==c","a==c"]
Output: true

Example 4:

Input: ["a==b","b!=c","c==a"]
Output: false

Example 5:

Input: ["c==c","b==d","x!=z"]
Output: true

Note:

  1. 1 <= equations.length <= 500
  2. equations[i].length == 4
  3. equations[i][0] and equations[i][3] are lowercase letters
  4. equations[i][1] is either '=' or '!'
  5. equations[i][2] is '='

花花酱 LeetCode 959. Regions Cut By Slashes

In a N x N grid composed of 1 x 1 squares, each 1 x 1 square consists of a /\, or blank space.  These characters divide the square into contiguous regions.

(Note that backslash characters are escaped, so a \ is represented as "\\".)

Return the number of regions.

Example 1:

Input:[  " /",  "/ "]
Output: 2
Explanation: The 2x2 grid is as follows:

Example 2:

Input:[  " /",  "  "]
Output: 1
Explanation: The 2x2 grid is as follows:

Example 3:

Input:[  "\\/",  "/\\"]
Output: 4
Explanation: (Recall that because \ characters are escaped, "\\/" refers to \/, and "/\\" refers to /\.)The 2x2 grid is as follows:

Example 4:

Input:[  "/\\",  "\\/"]
Output: 5
Explanation: (Recall that because \ characters are escaped, "/\\" refers to /\, and "\\/" refers to \/.)The 2x2 grid is as follows:

Example 5:

Input:[  "//",  "/ "]
Output: 3
Explanation: The 2x2 grid is as follows:

Note:

  1. 1 <= grid.length == grid[0].length <= 30
  2. grid[i][j] is either '/''\', or ' '.

Solution 1: Split grid into 4 triangles and Union Find Faces

Divide each grid into 4 triangles and union them if not split.
