花花酱 LeetCode 869. Reordered Power of 2

Problem

Starting with a positive integer N, we reorder the digits in any order (including the original order) such that the leading digit is not zero.

Return true if and only if we can do this in a way such that the resulting number is a power of 2.

Example 1:

Input: 1
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: 10
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: 16
Output: true

Example 4:

Input: 24
Output: false

Example 5:

Note:

  1. 1 <= N <= 10^9

Solution: HashTable

Compare the counter of digit string with that of all power of 2s.

e.g. 64 -> {4: 1, 6: 1} == 46 {4:1, 6: 1}

Time complexity: O(1)

Space complexity: O(1)

花花酱 LeetCode 287. Find the Duplicate Number

Problem

Given an array nums containing n + 1 integers where each integer is between 1 and n (inclusive), prove that at least one duplicate number must exist. Assume that there is only one duplicate number, find the duplicate one.

Example 1:

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

Example 2:

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

Note:

  1. You must not modify the array (assume the array is read only).
  2. You must use only constant, O(1) extra space.
  3. Your runtime complexity should be less than O(n2).
  4. There is only one duplicate number in the array, but it could be repeated more than once.

Solution1: Binary Search

Time complexity: O(nlogn)

Space complexity: O(1)

Find the smallest m such that len(nums <= m) > m, which means m is the duplicate number.

In the sorted form [1, 2, …, m1, m2, m + 1, …, n]

There are m+1 numbers <= m

Solution: Linked list cycle

Convert the problem to find the entry point of the cycle in a linked list.

Take the number in the array as the index of next node.

[1,3,4,2,2]

0->1->3->2->4->2 cycle: 2->4->2

[3,1,3,4,2]

0->3->4->2->3->4->2 cycle 3->4->2->3

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)

 

花花酱 LeetCode 445. Add Two Numbers II

Problem

You are given two non-empty linked lists representing two non-negative integers. The most significant digit comes first 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.

Follow up:
What if you cannot modify the input lists? In other words, reversing the lists is not allowed.

Example:

Input: (7 -> 2 -> 4 -> 3) + (5 -> 6 -> 4)
Output: 7 -> 8 -> 0 -> 7

Solution: Simulation

Using a stack to “reverse” the list. Simulate the addition digit by digit.

Time complexity: O(l1 + l2)

Space complexity: O(l1 + l2)

花花酱 LeetCode 542. 01 Matrix

Problem

Given a matrix consists of 0 and 1, find the distance of the nearest 0 for each cell.

The distance between two adjacent cells is 1.

Example 1: 
Input:

0 0 0
0 1 0
0 0 0

Output:

0 0 0
0 1 0
0 0 0

Example 2: 
Input:

0 0 0
0 1 0
1 1 1

Output:

0 0 0
0 1 0
1 2 1

Note:

  1. The number of elements of the given matrix will not exceed 10,000.
  2. There are at least one 0 in the given matrix.
  3. The cells are adjacent in only four directions: up, down, left and right.

Solution 1: DP

Two passes:

  1. down, right
  2. up, left

Time complexity: O(mn)

Space complexity: O(mn)

Solution 2: BFS

Start from all 0 cells and find shortest paths to rest of the cells.

Time complexity: O(mn)

Space complexity: O(mn)

 

花花酱 LeetCode 523. Continuous Subarray Sum

Problem

Given a list of non-negative numbers and a target integer k, write a function to check if the array has a continuous subarray of size at least 2 that sums up to the multiple of k, that is, sums up to n*k where n is also an integer.

Example 1:

Input: [23, 2, 4, 6, 7],  k=6
Output: True
Explanation: Because [2, 4] is a continuous subarray of size 2 and sums up to 6.

Example 2:

Input: [23, 2, 6, 4, 7],  k=6
Output: True
Explanation: Because [23, 2, 6, 4, 7] is an continuous subarray of size 5 and sums up to 42.

Note:

  1. The length of the array won’t exceed 10,000.
  2. You may assume the sum of all the numbers is in the range of a signed 32-bit integer.

Special case:

nums = [0,0], k = 0, return = True

Solution: Prefix Sum Reminder

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(min(n, k))
