花花酱 LeetCode 882. Random Point in Non-overlapping Rectangles

Problem

Given a list of non-overlapping axis-aligned rectangles rects, write a function pick which randomly and uniformily picks an integer point in the space covered by the rectangles.

Note:

  1. An integer point is a point that has integer coordinates.
  2. A point on the perimeter of a rectangle is included in the space covered by the rectangles.
  3. ith rectangle = rects[i] = [x1,y1,x2,y2], where [x1, y1] are the integer coordinates of the bottom-left corner, and [x2, y2] are the integer coordinates of the top-right corner.
  4. length and width of each rectangle does not exceed 2000.
  5. 1 <= rects.length <= 100
  6. pick return a point as an array of integer coordinates [p_x, p_y]
  7. pick is called at most 10000 times.

Example 1:

Input: 
["Solution","pick","pick","pick"]
[[[[1,1,5,5]]],[],[],[]]
Output: 
[null,[4,1],[4,1],[3,3]]

Example 2:

Input: 
["Solution","pick","pick","pick","pick","pick"]
[[[[-2,-2,-1,-1],[1,0,3,0]]],[],[],[],[],[]]
Output: 
[null,[-1,-2],[2,0],[-2,-1],[3,0],[-2,-2]]

Explanation of Input Syntax:

The input is two lists: the subroutines called and their arguments. Solution‘s constructor has one argument, the array of rectangles rectspick has no arguments. Arguments are always wrapped with a list, even if there aren’t any.

Solution: Binary Search

Time complexity: Init: O(n) Pick: O(logn)

Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 880. Random Pick with Weight

Problem

Given an array w of positive integers, where w[i] describes the weight of index i, write a function pickIndex which randomly picks an index in proportion to its weight.

Note:

  1. 1 <= w.length <= 10000
  2. 1 <= w[i] <= 10^5
  3. pickIndex will be called at most 10000 times.

Example 1:

Input: 
["Solution","pickIndex"]
[[[1]],[]]
Output: [null,0]

Example 2:

Input: 
["Solution","pickIndex","pickIndex","pickIndex","pickIndex","pickIndex"]
[[[1,3]],[],[],[],[],[]]
Output: [null,0,1,1,1,0]

Explanation of Input Syntax:

The input is two lists: the subroutines called and their arguments. Solution‘s constructor has one argument, the array wpickIndex has no arguments. Arguments are always wrapped with a list, even if there aren’t any.

Solution: Binary Search

  1. Convert PDF to CDF
  2. Uniformly sample a value s in [1, sum(weights)].
  3. Use binary search to find first index such that PDF[index] >= s.

Time complexity: Init O(n), query O(logn)

Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 883. Generate Random Point in a Circle

Problem

Given the radius and x-y positions of the center of a circle, write a function randPoint which generates a uniform random point in the circle.

Note:

  1. input and output values are in floating-point.
  2. radius and x-y position of the center of the circle is passed into the class constructor.
  3. a point on the circumference of the circle is considered to be in the circle.
  4. randPoint returns a size 2 array containing x-position and y-position of the random point, in that order.

Example 1:

Input: 
["Solution","randPoint","randPoint","randPoint"]
[[1,0,0],[],[],[]]
Output: [null,[-0.72939,-0.65505],[-0.78502,-0.28626],[-0.83119,-0.19803]]

Example 2:

Input: 
["Solution","randPoint","randPoint","randPoint"]
[[10,5,-7.5],[],[],[]]
Output: [null,[11.52438,-8.33273],[2.46992,-16.21705],[11.13430,-12.42337]]

Explanation of Input Syntax:

The input is two lists: the subroutines called and their arguments. Solution‘s constructor has three arguments, the radius, x-position of the center, and y-position of the center of the circle. randPoint has no arguments. Arguments are always wrapped with a list, even if there aren’t any.

 

Solution: Polar Coordinate

uniform sample an angle a: [0, 2*Pi)

uniform sample a radius r: [0, 1)

Number of random points in a cycle should be proportional to the square of distance to the center.

e.g. there are 4 times of points with distance d than points with distance d/2.

Thus sqrt(r) is uniformly distributed.

r’ = sqrt(r),

花花酱 LeetCode 43. Multiply Strings

Problem

Given two non-negative integers num1 and num2 represented as strings, return the product of num1 and num2, also represented as a string.

Example 1:

Input: num1 = "2", num2 = "3"
Output: "6"

Example 2:

Input: num1 = "123", num2 = "456"
Output: "56088"

Note:

  1. The length of both num1 and num2 is < 110.
  2. Both num1 and num2 contain only digits 0-9.
  3. Both num1 and num2 do not contain any leading zero, except the number 0 itself.
  4. You must not use any built-in BigInteger library or convert the inputs to integer directly.

Solution: Simulation

Simulate multiplication one digit at a time.

Time complexity: O(l1*l2)

Space complexity: O(l1 + l2)

花花酱 LeetCode 872. Implement Rand10() Using Rand7()

Problem

Given a function rand7 which generates a uniform random integer in the range 1 to 7, write a function rand10 which generates a uniform random integer in the range 1 to 10.

Do NOT use system’s Math.random().

Example 1:

Input: 1
Output: [7]

Example 2:

Input: 2
Output: [8,4]

Example 3:

Input: 3
Output: [8,1,10]

Note:

  1. rand7 is predefined.
  2. Each testcase has one argument: n, the number of times that rand10 is called.

Solution: Math

Time complexity: O(49/40) = O(1)

Time complexity: O(7/6 + 7 / 5) = O(1)
