花花酱 LeetCode 1344. Angle Between Hands of a Clock

Given two numbers, hour and minutes. Return the smaller angle (in sexagesimal units) formed between the hour and the minute hand.

Example 1:

Input: hour = 12, minutes = 30
Output: 165

Example 2:

Input: hour = 3, minutes = 30
Output: 75

Example 3:

Input: hour = 3, minutes = 15
Output: 7.5

Example 4:

Input: hour = 4, minutes = 50
Output: 155

Example 5:

Input: hour = 12, minutes = 0
Output: 0

Constraints:

  • 1 <= hour <= 12
  • 0 <= minutes <= 59
  • Answers within 10^-5 of the actual value will be accepted as correct.

Solution: Math

  1. Compute the angle of the hour hand (h + m / 60.0) * 360 / 12 as a_h
  2. Compute the angle of the minute hand m / 60.0 * 360 as a_m
  3. ans = min(abs(a_h – a_m), 360 – abs(a_h – a_m))

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

花花酱 LeetCode 1332. Remove Palindromic Subsequences

Given a string s consisting only of letters 'a' and 'b'. In a single step you can remove one palindromic subsequence from s.

Return the minimum number of steps to make the given string empty.

A string is a subsequence of a given string, if it is generated by deleting some characters of a given string without changing its order.

A string is called palindrome if is one that reads the same backward as well as forward.

Example 1:

Input: s = "ababa"
Output: 1
Explanation: String is already palindrome

Example 2:

Input: s = "abb"
Output: 2
Explanation: "abb" -> "bb" -> "". 
Remove palindromic subsequence "a" then "bb".

Example 3:

Input: s = "baabb"
Output: 2
Explanation: "baabb" -> "b" -> "". 
Remove palindromic subsequence "baab" then "b".

Example 4:

Input: s = ""
Output: 0

Constraints:

  • 0 <= s.length <= 1000
  • s only consists of letters ‘a’ and ‘b’

Solution: Math

if s is empty => 0 step
if s is a palindrome => 1 step
Otherwise, 2 steps…
1. delete all the as
2. delete all the bs

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n) / O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 1317. Convert Integer to the Sum of Two No-Zero Integers

Given an integer n. No-Zero integer is a positive integer which doesn’t contain any 0 in its decimal representation.

Return a list of two integers [A, B] where:

  • A and B are No-Zero integers.
  • A + B = n

It’s guarateed that there is at least one valid solution. If there are many valid solutions you can return any of them.

Example 1:

Example 2:

Example 3:

Example 4:

Example 5:

Constraints:

  • 2 <= n <= 10^4

Solution: Brute Force

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

花花酱 LeetCode 2. Add Two Numbers

You are given two non-empty linked lists representing two non-negative integers. The digits are stored in reverse order and each of their nodes contain a single digit. Add the two numbers and return it as a linked list.

You may assume the two numbers do not contain any leading zero, except the number 0 itself.

Example:

Input: (2 -> 4 -> 3) + (5 -> 6 -> 4)
Output: 7 -> 0 -> 8
Explanation: 342 + 465 = 807.

Solution: Simulation

Time complexity: O(max(n,m))
Space complexity: O(max(n,m))

花花酱 LeetCode 1295. Find Numbers with Even Number of Digits

Given an array nums of integers, return how many of them contain an even number of digits.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [12,345,2,6,7896]
Output: 2
Explanation: 
12 contains 2 digits (even number of digits). 
345 contains 3 digits (odd number of digits). 
2 contains 1 digit (odd number of digits). 
6 contains 1 digit (odd number of digits). 
7896 contains 4 digits (even number of digits). 
Therefore only 12 and 7896 contain an even number of digits.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [555,901,482,1771]
Output: 1 
Explanation: 
Only 1771 contains an even number of digits.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 500
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^5

Solution: Math

Time complexity: O(n * log(max(num)))
Space complexity: O(1)
