花花酱 LeetCode 1590. Make Sum Divisible by P

Given an array of positive integers nums, remove the smallest subarray (possibly empty) such that the sum of the remaining elements is divisible by p. It is not allowed to remove the whole array.

Return the length of the smallest subarray that you need to remove, or -1 if it’s impossible.

subarray is defined as a contiguous block of elements in the array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,1,4,2], p = 6
Output: 1
Explanation: The sum of the elements in nums is 10, which is not divisible by 6. We can remove the subarray [4], and the sum of the remaining elements is 6, which is divisible by 6.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [6,3,5,2], p = 9
Output: 2
Explanation: We cannot remove a single element to get a sum divisible by 9. The best way is to remove the subarray [5,2], leaving us with [6,3] with sum 9.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,2,3], p = 3
Output: 0
Explanation: Here the sum is 6. which is already divisible by 3. Thus we do not need to remove anything.

Example 4:

Input: nums = [1,2,3], p = 7
Output: -1
Explanation: There is no way to remove a subarray in order to get a sum divisible by 7.

Example 5:

Input: nums = [1000000000,1000000000,1000000000], p = 3
Output: 0

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 109
  • 1 <= p <= 109

Solution: HashTable + Prefix Sum

Very similar to subarray target sum.

Basically, we are trying to find a shortest subarray that has sum % p equals to r = sum(arr) % p.

We use a hashtable to store the last index of the prefix sum % p and check whether (prefix_sum + p – r) % p exists or not.

花花酱 LeetCode 1577. Number of Ways Where Square of Number Is Equal to Product of Two Numbers

Given two arrays of integers nums1 and nums2, return the number of triplets formed (type 1 and type 2) under the following rules:

  • Type 1: Triplet (i, j, k) if nums1[i]2 == nums2[j] * nums2[k] where 0 <= i < nums1.length and 0 <= j < k < nums2.length.
  • Type 2: Triplet (i, j, k) if nums2[i]2 == nums1[j] * nums1[k] where 0 <= i < nums2.length and 0 <= j < k < nums1.length.

Example 1:

Input: nums1 = [7,4], nums2 = [5,2,8,9]
Output: 1
Explanation: Type 1: (1,1,2), nums1[1]^2 = nums2[1] * nums2[2]. (4^2 = 2 * 8). 

Example 2:

Input: nums1 = [1,1], nums2 = [1,1,1]
Output: 9
Explanation: All Triplets are valid, because 1^2 = 1 * 1.
Type 1: (0,0,1), (0,0,2), (0,1,2), (1,0,1), (1,0,2), (1,1,2).  nums1[i]^2 = nums2[j] * nums2[k].
Type 2: (0,0,1), (1,0,1), (2,0,1). nums2[i]^2 = nums1[j] * nums1[k].

Example 3:

Input: nums1 = [7,7,8,3], nums2 = [1,2,9,7]
Output: 2
Explanation: There are 2 valid triplets.
Type 1: (3,0,2).  nums1[3]^2 = nums2[0] * nums2[2].
Type 2: (3,0,1).  nums2[3]^2 = nums1[0] * nums1[1].

Example 4:

Input: nums1 = [4,7,9,11,23], nums2 = [3,5,1024,12,18]
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no valid triplets.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums1.length, nums2.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 10^5

Solution: Hashtable

For each number y in the second array, count its frequency.

For each number x in the first, if x * x % y == 0, let r = x * x / y
if r == y: ans += f[y] * f[y-1]
else ans += f[y] * f[r]

Final ans /= 2

花花酱 LeetCode 1562. Find Latest Group of Size M

Given an array arr that represents a permutation of numbers from 1 to n. You have a binary string of size n that initially has all its bits set to zero.

At each step i (assuming both the binary string and arr are 1-indexed) from 1 to n, the bit at position arr[i] is set to 1. You are given an integer m and you need to find the latest step at which there exists a group of ones of length m. A group of ones is a contiguous substring of 1s such that it cannot be extended in either direction.

Return the latest step at which there exists a group of ones of length exactly mIf no such group exists, return -1.

Example 1:

Input: arr = [3,5,1,2,4], m = 1
Output: 4
Explanation:
Step 1: "00100", groups: ["1"]
Step 2: "00101", groups: ["1", "1"]
Step 3: "10101", groups: ["1", "1", "1"]
Step 4: "11101", groups: ["111", "1"]
Step 5: "11111", groups: ["11111"]
The latest step at which there exists a group of size 1 is step 4.

Example 2:

Input: arr = [3,1,5,4,2], m = 2
Output: -1
Explanation:
Step 1: "00100", groups: ["1"]
Step 2: "10100", groups: ["1", "1"]
Step 3: "10101", groups: ["1", "1", "1"]
Step 4: "10111", groups: ["1", "111"]
Step 5: "11111", groups: ["11111"]
No group of size 2 exists during any step.

Example 3:

Input: arr = [1], m = 1
Output: 1

Example 4:

Input: arr = [2,1], m = 2
Output: 2

Constraints:

  • n == arr.length
  • 1 <= n <= 10^5
  • 1 <= arr[i] <= n
  • All integers in arr are distinct.
  • 1 <= m <= arr.length

Solution: Hashtable

花花酱 LeetCode 1546. Maximum Number of Non-Overlapping Subarrays With Sum Equals Target

Given an array nums and an integer target.

Return the maximum number of non-empty non-overlapping subarrays such that the sum of values in each subarray is equal to target.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,1,1,1,1], target = 2
Output: 2
Explanation: There are 2 non-overlapping subarrays [1,1,1,1,1] with sum equals to target(2).

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-1,3,5,1,4,2,-9], target = 6
Output: 2
Explanation: There are 3 subarrays with sum equal to 6.
([5,1], [4,2], [3,5,1,4,2,-9]) but only the first 2 are non-overlapping.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [-2,6,6,3,5,4,1,2,8], target = 10
Output: 3

Example 4:

Input: nums = [0,0,0], target = 0
Output: 3

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
  • -10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4
  • 0 <= target <= 10^6

Solution: Prefix Sum + DP

Use a hashmap index to record the last index when a given prefix sum occurs.
dp[i] := max # of non-overlapping subarrays of nums[0~i], nums[i] is not required to be included.
dp[i+1] = max(dp[i], // skip nums[i]
dp[index[sum – target] + 1] + 1) // use nums[i] to form a new subarray
ans = dp[n]

花花酱 LeetCode 1542. Find Longest Awesome Substring

Given a string s. An awesome substring is a non-empty substring of s such that we can make any number of swaps in order to make it palindrome.

Return the length of the maximum length awesome substring of s.

Example 1:

Input: s = "3242415"
Output: 5
Explanation: "24241" is the longest awesome substring, we can form the palindrome "24142" with some swaps.

Example 2:

Input: s = "12345678"
Output: 1

Example 3:

Input: s = "213123"
Output: 6
Explanation: "213123" is the longest awesome substring, we can form the palindrome "231132" with some swaps.

Example 4:

Input: s = "00"
Output: 2

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 10^5
  • s consists only of digits.

Solution: Prefix mask + Hashtable

For a palindrome all digits must occurred even times expect one. We can use a 10 bit mask to track the occurrence of each digit for prefix s[0~i]. 0 is even, 1 is odd.

We use a hashtable to track the first index of each prefix state.
If s[0~i] and s[0~j] have the same state which means every digits in s[i+1~j] occurred even times (zero is also even) and it’s an awesome string. Then (j – (i+1) + 1) = j – i is the length of the palindrome. So far so good.

But we still need to consider the case when there is a digit with odd occurrence. We can enumerate all possible ones from 0 to 9, and temporarily flip the bit of the digit and see whether that state happened before.

fisrt_index[0] = -1, first_index[*] = inf
ans = max(ans, j – first_index[mask])
