花花酱 LeetCode 2661. First Completely Painted Row or Column

You are given a 0-indexed integer array arr, and an m x n integer matrix matarr and mat both contain all the integers in the range [1, m * n].

Go through each index i in arr starting from index 0 and paint the cell in mat containing the integer arr[i].

Return the smallest index i at which either a row or a column will be completely painted in mat.

Example 1:

image explanation for example 1
Input: arr = [1,3,4,2], mat = [[1,4],[2,3]]
Output: 2
Explanation: The moves are shown in order, and both the first row and second column of the matrix become fully painted at arr[2].

Example 2:

image explanation for example 2
Input: arr = [2,8,7,4,1,3,5,6,9], mat = [[3,2,5],[1,4,6],[8,7,9]]
Output: 3
Explanation: The second column becomes fully painted at arr[3].

Constraints:

  • m == mat.length
  • n = mat[i].length
  • arr.length == m * n
  • 1 <= m, n <= 105
  • 1 <= m * n <= 105
  • 1 <= arr[i], mat[r][c] <= m * n
  • All the integers of arr are unique.
  • All the integers of mat are unique.

Solution: Map + Counter

Use a map to store the position of each integer.

Use row counters and column counters to track how many elements have been painted.

Time complexity: O(m*n + m + n)
Space complexity: O(m*n + m + n)

花花酱 LeetCode 2588. Count the Number of Beautiful Subarrays

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums. In one operation, you can:

  • Choose two different indices i and j such that 0 <= i, j < nums.length.
  • Choose a non-negative integer k such that the kth bit (0-indexed) in the binary representation of nums[i] and nums[j] is 1.
  • Subtract 2k from nums[i] and nums[j].

A subarray is beautiful if it is possible to make all of its elements equal to 0 after applying the above operation any number of times.

Return the number of beautiful subarrays in the array nums.

A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [4,3,1,2,4]
Output: 2
Explanation: There are 2 beautiful subarrays in nums: [4,3,1,2,4] and [4,3,1,2,4].
- We can make all elements in the subarray [3,1,2] equal to 0 in the following way:
  - Choose [3, 1, 2] and k = 1. Subtract 21 from both numbers. The subarray becomes [1, 1, 0].
  - Choose [1, 1, 0] and k = 0. Subtract 20 from both numbers. The subarray becomes [0, 0, 0].
- We can make all elements in the subarray [4,3,1,2,4] equal to 0 in the following way:
  - Choose [4, 3, 1, 2, 4] and k = 2. Subtract 22 from both numbers. The subarray becomes [0, 3, 1, 2, 0].
  - Choose [0, 3, 1, 2, 0] and k = 0. Subtract 20 from both numbers. The subarray becomes [0, 2, 0, 2, 0].
  - Choose [0, 2, 0, 2, 0] and k = 1. Subtract 21 from both numbers. The subarray becomes [0, 0, 0, 0, 0].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,10,4]
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no beautiful subarrays in nums.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • 0 <= nums[i] <= 106

Solution: Hashtable + Prefix XOR

The problem is asking to find # of subarrays whose element wise xor is 0. We can use a hashtable to store the frequency of each prefix xor value, which reduces this problem to # of Subarray sum equal to k.

Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 2564. Substring XOR Queries

You are given a binary string s, and a 2D integer array queries where queries[i] = [firsti, secondi].

For the ith query, find the shortest substring of s whose decimal valueval, yields secondi when bitwise XORed with firsti. In other words, val ^ firsti == secondi.

The answer to the ith query is the endpoints (0-indexed) of the substring [lefti, righti] or [-1, -1] if no such substring exists. If there are multiple answers, choose the one with the minimum lefti.

Return an array ans where ans[i] = [lefti, righti] is the answer to the ith query.

substring is a contiguous non-empty sequence of characters within a string.

Example 1:

Input: s = "101101", queries = [[0,5],[1,2]]
Output: [[0,2],[2,3]]
Explanation: For the first query the substring in range [0,2] is "101" which has a decimal value of 5, and 5 ^ 0 = 5, hence the answer to the first query is [0,2]. In the second query, the substring in range [2,3] is "11", and has a decimal value of 3, and 3 ^ 1 = 2. So, [2,3] is returned for the second query. 

Example 2:

Input: s = "0101", queries = [[12,8]]
Output: [[-1,-1]]
Explanation: In this example there is no substring that answers the query, hence [-1,-1] is returned.

Example 3:

Input: s = "1", queries = [[4,5]]
Output: [[0,0]]
Explanation: For this example, the substring in range [0,0] has a decimal value of 1, and 1 ^ 4 = 5. So, the answer is [0,0].

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 104
  • s[i] is either '0' or '1'.
  • 1 <= queries.length <= 105
  • 0 <= firsti, secondi <= 109

Solution: Pre-compute

We can pre-compute all possible substrings

Space complexity: O(n*32)

花花酱 LeetCode 2475. Number of Unequal Triplets in Array

You are given a 0-indexed array of positive integers nums. Find the number of triplets (i, j, k) that meet the following conditions:

  • 0 <= i < j < k < nums.length
  • nums[i]nums[j], and nums[k] are pairwise distinct.
    • In other words, nums[i] != nums[j]nums[i] != nums[k], and nums[j] != nums[k].

Return the number of triplets that meet the conditions.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [4,4,2,4,3]
Output: 3
Explanation: The following triplets meet the conditions:
- (0, 2, 4) because 4 != 2 != 3
- (1, 2, 4) because 4 != 2 != 3
- (2, 3, 4) because 2 != 4 != 3
Since there are 3 triplets, we return 3.
Note that (2, 0, 4) is not a valid triplet because 2 > 0.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,1,1,1,1]
Output: 0
Explanation: No triplets meet the conditions so we return 0.

Constraints:

  • 3 <= nums.length <= 100
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 1000

Solution 1: Brute Force

Enumerate i, j, k.

Time complexity: O(n3)
Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 2441. Largest Positive Integer That Exists With Its Negative

Given an integer array nums that does not contain any zeros, find the largest positive integer k such that -k also exists in the array.

Return the positive integer k. If there is no such integer, return -1.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-1,2,-3,3]
Output: 3
Explanation: 3 is the only valid k we can find in the array.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-1,10,6,7,-7,1]
Output: 7
Explanation: Both 1 and 7 have their corresponding negative values in the array. 7 has a larger value.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [-10,8,6,7,-2,-3]
Output: -1
Explanation: There is no a single valid k, we return -1.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 1000
  • -1000 <= nums[i] <= 1000
  • nums[i] != 0

Solution 1: Hashtable

We can do in one pass by checking whether -x in the hashtable and update ans with abs(x) if so.

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

C++

Solution 2: Sorting

Sort the array by abs(x) in descending order.

[-1,10,6,7,-7,1] becomes = [-1, 1, 6, -7, 7, 10]

Check whether arr[i] = -arr[i-1].

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

C++

Solution 3: Two Pointers

Sort the array.

Let sum = nums[i] + nums[j], sum == 0, we find one pair, if sum < 0, ++i else –j.

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