花花酱 LeetCode 1156. Swap For Longest Repeated Character Substring

Given a string text, we are allowed to swap two of the characters in the string. Find the length of the longest substring with repeated characters.

Example 1:

Input: text = "ababa"
Output: 3
Explanation: We can swap the first 'b' with the last 'a', or the last 'b' with the first 'a'. Then, the longest repeated character substring is "aaa", which its length is 3.

Example 2:

Input: text = "aaabaaa"
Output: 6
Explanation: Swap 'b' with the last 'a' (or the first 'a'), and we get longest repeated character substring "aaaaaa", which its length is 6.

Example 3:

Input: text = "aaabbaaa"
Output: 4

Example 4:

Input: text = "aaaaa"
Output: 5
Explanation: No need to swap, longest repeated character substring is "aaaaa", length is 5.

Example 5:

Input: text = "abcdef"
Output: 1

Constraints:

  • 1 <= text.length <= 20000
  • text consist of lowercase English characters only.

Solution: HashTable

Pre-processing

  1. Compute the longest repeated substring starts and ends with text[i].
  2. Count the frequency of each letter.

Main

  1. Loop through each letter
  2. Check the left and right letter
    • if they are the same, len = left + right
      • e.g1. “aa c aaa [b] aaaa” => len = 3 + 4 = 7
    • if they are not the same, len = max(left, right)
      • e.g2. “aa [b] ccc d c” => len = max(2, 3) = 3
  3. If the letter occurs more than len times, we can always find an extra one and swap it with the current letter => ++len
    • e.g.1, count[“a”] = 9 > 7, len = 7 + 1 = 8
    • e.g.2, count[“c”] = 4 > 3, len = 3 + 1 = 4

花花酱 LeetCode 217. Contains Duplicate

Given an array of integers, find if the array contains any duplicates.

Your function should return true if any value appears at least twice in the array, and it should return false if every element is distinct.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3,1]
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: [1,2,3,4]
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: [1,1,1,3,3,4,3,2,4,2]
Output: true

Solution 1: HashTable

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

Solution 2: Sorting

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

花花酱 LeetCode 1128. Number of Equivalent Domino Pairs

Given a list of dominoesdominoes[i] = [a, b] is equivalent to dominoes[j] = [c, d] if and only if either (a==c and b==d), or (a==d and b==c) – that is, one domino can be rotated to be equal to another domino.

Return the number of pairs (i, j) for which 0 <= i < j < dominoes.length, and dominoes[i] is equivalent to dominoes[j].

Example 1:

Input: dominoes = [[1,2],[2,1],[3,4],[5,6]]
Output: 1

Constraints:

  • 1 <= dominoes.length <= 40000
  • 1 <= dominoes[i][j] <= 9

Solution: HashTable

Count how many times each key occurred so far.

花花酱 LeetCode 391. Perfect Rectangle

Given N axis-aligned rectangles where N > 0, determine if they all together form an exact cover of a rectangular region.

Each rectangle is represented as a bottom-left point and a top-right point. For example, a unit square is represented as [1,1,2,2]. (coordinate of bottom-left point is (1, 1) and top-right point is (2, 2)).

Example 1:

花花酱 LeetCode 1013. Pairs of Songs With Total Durations Divisible by 60

In a list of songs, the i-th song has a duration of time[i] seconds. 

Return the number of pairs of songs for which their total duration in seconds is divisible by 60.  Formally, we want the number of indices i < j with (time[i] + time[j]) % 60 == 0.

Example 1:

Input: [30,20,150,100,40]
Output: 3
Explanation: Three pairs have a total duration divisible by 60:
(time[0] = 30, time[2] = 150): total duration 180
(time[1] = 20, time[3] = 100): total duration 120
(time[1] = 20, time[4] = 40): total duration 60

Example 2:

Input: [60,60,60]
Output: 3
Explanation: All three pairs have a total duration of 120, which is divisible by 60.

Note:

  1. 1 <= time.length <= 60000
  2. 1 <= time[i] <= 500

Solution: Two Sum of 60

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(60)
