花花酱 LeetCode 1496. Path Crossing

By zxi on June 28, 2020

Given a string path, where path[i] = 'N', 'S', 'E' or 'W', each representing moving one unit north, south, east, or west, respectively. You start at the origin (0, 0) on a 2D plane and walk on the path specified by path.

Return True if the path crosses itself at any point, that is, if at any time you are on a location you’ve previously visited. Return False otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: path = "NES"
Output: false 
Explanation: Notice that the path doesn't cross any point more than once.

Example 2:

Input: path = "NESWW"
Output: true
Explanation: Notice that the path visits the origin twice.

Constraints:

1 <= path.length <= 10^4
path will only consist of characters in {'N', 'S', 'E', 'W}

Solution: Simulation + Hashtable

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

bool isPathCrossing(string path) {

unordered_set<int> s;

int x = 0;

int y = 0;

s.insert(x * 10000 + y);

for (char d : path) {

if (d == 'N') ++y;

else if (d == 'S') --y;

else if (d == 'E') ++x;

else if (d == 'W') --x;

if (!s.insert(x * 10000 + y).second)

return true;

}

return false;

}

花花酱 LeetCode 1488. Avoid Flood in The City

By zxi on June 20, 2020

Your country has an infinite number of lakes. Initially, all the lakes are empty, but when it rains over the nth lake, the nth lake becomes full of water. If it rains over a lake which is full of water, there will be a flood. Your goal is to avoid the flood in any lake.

Given an integer array rains where:

rains[i] > 0 means there will be rains over the rains[i] lake.
rains[i] == 0 means there are no rains this day and you can choose one lake this day and dry it.

Return an array ans where:

ans.length == rains.length
ans[i] == -1 if rains[i] > 0.
ans[i] is the lake you choose to dry in the ith day if rains[i] == 0.

If there are multiple valid answers return any of them. If it is impossible to avoid flood return an empty array.

Notice that if you chose to dry a full lake, it becomes empty, but if you chose to dry an empty lake, nothing changes. (see example 4)

Example 1:

Input: rains = [1,2,3,4]
Output: [-1,-1,-1,-1]
Explanation: After the first day full lakes are [1]
After the second day full lakes are [1,2]
After the third day full lakes are [1,2,3]
After the fourth day full lakes are [1,2,3,4]
There's no day to dry any lake and there is no flood in any lake.

Example 2:

Input: rains = [1,2,0,0,2,1]
Output: [-1,-1,2,1,-1,-1]
Explanation: After the first day full lakes are [1]
After the second day full lakes are [1,2]
After the third day, we dry lake 2. Full lakes are [1]
After the fourth day, we dry lake 1. There is no full lakes.
After the fifth day, full lakes are [2].
After the sixth day, full lakes are [1,2].
It is easy that this scenario is flood-free. [-1,-1,1,2,-1,-1] is another acceptable scenario.

Example 3:

Input: rains = [1,2,0,1,2]
Output: []
Explanation: After the second day, full lakes are  [1,2]. We have to dry one lake in the third day.
After that, it will rain over lakes [1,2]. It's easy to prove that no matter which lake you choose to dry in the 3rd day, the other one will flood.

Example 4:

Input: rains = [69,0,0,0,69]
Output: [-1,69,1,1,-1]
Explanation: Any solution on one of the forms [-1,69,x,y,-1], [-1,x,69,y,-1] or [-1,x,y,69,-1] is acceptable where 1 <= x,y <= 10^9

Example 5:

Input: rains = [10,20,20]
Output: []
Explanation: It will rain over lake 20 two consecutive days. There is no chance to dry any lake.

Constraints:

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

Solution: Binary Search

Store the days we can dry a lake in a treeset.
Store the last day when a lake becomes full in a hashtable.
Whenever we encounter a full lake, try to find the first available day that we can dry it. If no such day, return no answer.

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<int> avoidFlood(vector<int>& rains) {

const int n = rains.size();

vector<int> ans(n, -1);

unordered_map<int, int> full; // lake -> day

set<int> dry; // days we can dry lakes.

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

const int lake = rains[i];

if (lake > 0) {

if (full.count(lake)) {

// Find the first day we can dry it.

auto it = dry.upper_bound(full[lake]);

if (it == end(dry)) return {};

ans[*it] = lake;

dry.erase(it);

}

full[lake] = i;

} else {

dry.insert(i);

ans[i] = 1;

}

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 1487. Making File Names Unique

By zxi on June 20, 2020

Given an array of strings names of size n. You will create n folders in your file system such that, at the ith minute, you will create a folder with the name names[i].

Since two files cannot have the same name, if you enter a folder name which is previously used, the system will have a suffix addition to its name in the form of (k), where, k is the smallest positive integer such that the obtained name remains unique.

Return an array of strings of length n where ans[i] is the actual name the system will assign to the ith folder when you create it.

Example 1:

Input: names = ["pes","fifa","gta","pes(2019)"]
Output: ["pes","fifa","gta","pes(2019)"]
Explanation: Let's see how the file system creates folder names:
"pes" --> not assigned before, remains "pes"
"fifa" --> not assigned before, remains "fifa"
"gta" --> not assigned before, remains "gta"
"pes(2019)" --> not assigned before, remains "pes(2019)"

Example 2:

Input: names = ["gta","gta(1)","gta","avalon"]
Output: ["gta","gta(1)","gta(2)","avalon"]
Explanation: Let's see how the file system creates folder names:
"gta" --> not assigned before, remains "gta"
"gta(1)" --> not assigned before, remains "gta(1)"
"gta" --> the name is reserved, system adds (k), since "gta(1)" is also reserved, systems put k = 2. it becomes "gta(2)"
"avalon" --> not assigned before, remains "avalon"

Example 3:

Input: names = ["onepiece","onepiece(1)","onepiece(2)","onepiece(3)","onepiece"]
Output: ["onepiece","onepiece(1)","onepiece(2)","onepiece(3)","onepiece(4)"]
Explanation: When the last folder is created, the smallest positive valid k is 4, and it becomes "onepiece(4)".

Example 4:

Input: names = ["wano","wano","wano","wano"]
Output: ["wano","wano(1)","wano(2)","wano(3)"]
Explanation: Just increase the value of k each time you create folder "wano".

Example 5:

Input: names = ["kaido","kaido(1)","kaido","kaido(1)"]
Output: ["kaido","kaido(1)","kaido(2)","kaido(1)(1)"]
Explanation: Please note that system adds the suffix (k) to current name even it contained the same suffix before.

Constraints:

1 <= names.length <= 5 * 10^4
1 <= names[i].length <= 20
names[i] consists of lower case English letters, digits and/or round brackets.

Solution: Hashtable

Use a hashtable to store the mapping form base_name to its next suffix index.

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<string> getFolderNames(vector<string>& names) {

vector<string> ans;

unordered_map<string, int> m; // base_name -> next suffix.

for (const string& name : names) {

string unique_name = name;

int j = m[name];

if (j > 0) {

while (m.count(unique_name = name + "(" + to_string(j++) + ")"));

m[name] = j;

}

m[unique_name] = 1;

ans.push_back(unique_name);

}

return ans;

}

};

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)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int findLeastNumOfUniqueInts(vector<int>& arr, int k) {

unordered_map<int, int> c;

vector<int> m; // freq

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

m.push_back(f);

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

int ans = m.size();

int i = 0;

while (k--) {

if (--m[i] == 0) {

++i;

--ans;

}

return ans;

}

花花酱 LeetCode 1461. Check If a String Contains All Binary Codes of Size K

By zxi on May 30, 2020

Given a binary string s and an integer k.

Return True if any binary code of length k is a substring of s. Otherwise, return False.

Example 1:

Input: s = "00110110", k = 2
Output: true
Explanation: The binary codes of length 2 are "00", "01", "10" and "11". They can be all found as substrings at indicies 0, 1, 3 and 2 respectively.

Example 2:

Input: s = "00110", k = 2
Output: true

Example 3:

Input: s = "0110", k = 1
Output: true
Explanation: The binary codes of length 1 are "0" and "1", it is clear that both exist as a substring.

Example 4:

Input: s = "0110", k = 2
Output: false
Explanation: The binary code "00" is of length 2 and doesn't exist in the array.

Example 5:

Input: s = "0000000001011100", k = 4
Output: false

Constraints:

1 <= s.length <= 5 * 10^5
s consists of 0’s and 1’s only.
1 <= k <= 20

Solution: Hashtable

Insert all possible substrings into a hashtable, the size of the hashtable should be 2^k.

Time complexity: O(n*k)
Space complexity: O(2^k*k) -> O(2^k)
