花花酱 LeetCode 1877. Minimize Maximum Pair Sum in Array

By zxi on August 6, 2021

The pair sum of a pair (a,b) is equal to a + b. The maximum pair sum is the largest pair sum in a list of pairs.

For example, if we have pairs (1,5), (2,3), and (4,4), the maximum pair sum would be max(1+5, 2+3, 4+4) = max(6, 5, 8) = 8.

Given an array nums of even length n, pair up the elements of nums into n / 2 pairs such that:

Each element of nums is in exactly one pair, and
The maximum pair sum is minimized.

Return the minimized maximum pair sum after optimally pairing up the elements.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,5,2,3]
Output: 7
Explanation: The elements can be paired up into pairs (3,3) and (5,2).
The maximum pair sum is max(3+3, 5+2) = max(6, 7) = 7.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [3,5,4,2,4,6]
Output: 8
Explanation: The elements can be paired up into pairs (3,5), (4,4), and (6,2).
The maximum pair sum is max(3+5, 4+4, 6+2) = max(8, 8, 8) = 8.

Constraints:

n == nums.length
2 <= n <= 10⁵
n is even.
1 <= nums[i] <= 10⁵

Solution: Greedy

Sort the elements, pair nums[i] with nums[n – i – 1] and find the max pair.

Time complexity: O(nlogn) -> O(n) counting sort.
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int minPairSum(vector<int>& nums) {

const int n = nums.size();

int ans = 0;

sort(begin(nums), end(nums));

for (int i = 0; i < n / 2; ++i)

ans = max(ans, nums[i] + nums[n - i - 1]);

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 1871. Jump Game VII

By zxi on August 5, 2021

You are given a 0-indexed binary string s and two integers minJump and maxJump. In the beginning, you are standing at index 0, which is equal to '0'. You can move from index i to index j if the following conditions are fulfilled:

i + minJump <= j <= min(i + maxJump, s.length - 1), and
s[j] == '0'.

Return true if you can reach index s.length - 1 in s, or false otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: s = "011010", minJump = 2, maxJump = 3
Output: true
Explanation:
In the first step, move from index 0 to index 3. 
In the second step, move from index 3 to index 5.

Example 2:

Input: s = "01101110", minJump = 2, maxJump = 3
Output: false

Constraints:

2 <= s.length <= 10⁵
s[i] is either '0' or '1'.
s[0] == '0'
1 <= minJump <= maxJump < s.length

Solution 1: TreeSet /Dequq + Binary Search

Maintain a set of reachable indices so far, for each ‘0’ index check whether it can be reached from any of the elements in the set.

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

C++/set

// Author: Huahua, 296 ms, 59.7MB

class Solution {

public:

bool canReach(string s, int minJump, int maxJump) {

if (s.back() != '0') return false;

const int n = s.length();

set<int> seen{0};

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

if (s[i] != '0') continue;

while (!seen.empty() && (*seen.begin()) + maxJump < i)

seen.erase(seen.begin());

auto it = seen.upper_bound(i - minJump);

if (it != seen.begin() && *prev(it) + minJump <= i)

seen.insert(i);

}

return seen.count(n - 1);

}

};

C++/deque

// Author: Huahua, 280 ms, 19MB

class Solution {

public:

bool canReach(string s, int minJump, int maxJump) {

if (s.back() != '0') return false;

const int n = s.length();

deque<int> seen{0};

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

if (s[i] != '0') continue;

while (!seen.empty() && (seen.front()) + maxJump < i)

seen.pop_front();

auto it = upper_bound(begin(seen), end(seen), i - minJump);

if (it != seen.begin() && *prev(it) + minJump <= i)

seen.push_back(i);

}

return seen.back() == n - 1;

}

};

Solution 2: Queue

Same idea, we can replace the deque in sol1 with a queue, and only check the smallest element in the queue.

C++/set

// Author: Huahua, 56ms, 19.2MB

class Solution {

public:

bool canReach(string s, int minJump, int maxJump) {

if (s.back() != '0') return false;

const int n = s.length();

queue<int> q{{0}};

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

if (s[i] != '0') continue;

while (!q.empty() && q.front() + maxJump < i)

q.pop();

if (!q.empty() && q.front() + minJump <= i)

q.push(i);

}

return q.back() == n - 1;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 1870. Minimum Speed to Arrive on Time

By zxi on August 5, 2021

You are given a floating-point number hour, representing the amount of time you have to reach the office. To commute to the office, you must take n trains in sequential order. You are also given an integer array dist of length n, where dist[i] describes the distance (in kilometers) of the i^th train ride.

Each train can only depart at an integer hour, so you may need to wait in between each train ride.

For example, if the 1^st train ride takes 1.5 hours, you must wait for an additional 0.5 hours before you can depart on the 2^nd train ride at the 2 hour mark.

Return the minimum positive integer speed (in kilometers per hour) that all the trains must travel at for you to reach the office on time, or -1 if it is impossible to be on time.

Tests are generated such that the answer will not exceed 10⁷ and hour will have at most two digits after the decimal point.

Example 1:

Input: dist = [1,3,2], hour = 6
Output: 1
Explanation: At speed 1:
- The first train ride takes 1/1 = 1 hour.
- Since we are already at an integer hour, we depart immediately at the 1 hour mark. The second train takes 3/1 = 3 hours.
- Since we are already at an integer hour, we depart immediately at the 4 hour mark. The third train takes 2/1 = 2 hours.
- You will arrive at exactly the 6 hour mark.

Example 2:

Input: dist = [1,3,2], hour = 2.7
Output: 3
Explanation: At speed 3:
- The first train ride takes 1/3 = 0.33333 hours.
- Since we are not at an integer hour, we wait until the 1 hour mark to depart. The second train ride takes 3/3 = 1 hour.
- Since we are already at an integer hour, we depart immediately at the 2 hour mark. The third train takes 2/3 = 0.66667 hours.
- You will arrive at the 2.66667 hour mark.

Example 3:

Input: dist = [1,3,2], hour = 1.9
Output: -1
Explanation: It is impossible because the earliest the third train can depart is at the 2 hour mark.

Constraints:

n == dist.length
1 <= n <= 10⁵
1 <= dist[i] <= 10⁵
1 <= hour <= 10⁹
There will be at most two digits after the decimal point in hour.

Solution: Binary Search

l = speed_min=1
r = speed_max+1 = 1e7 + 1

Find the min valid speed m such that t(m) <= hour.

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int minSpeedOnTime(vector<int>& dist, double hour) {

constexpr int kMax = 1e7 + 1;

const int n = dist.size();

int l = 1;

int r = kMax;

while (l < r) {

int m = l + (r - l) / 2;

int t = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; ++i)

t += (dist[i] + m - 1) / m;

if (t + dist.back() * 1.0 / m <= hour)

r = m;

else

l = m + 1;

}

return l == kMax ? -1 : l;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 1860. Incremental Memory Leak

By zxi on June 1, 2021

You are given two integers memory1 and memory2 representing the available memory in bits on two memory sticks. There is currently a faulty program running that consumes an increasing amount of memory every second.

At the i^th second (starting from 1), i bits of memory are allocated to the stick with more available memory (or from the first memory stick if both have the same available memory). If neither stick has at least i bits of available memory, the program crashes.

Return an array containing [crashTime, memory1_crash, memory2_crash], where crashTime is the time (in seconds) when the program crashed and memory1_crash and memory2_crash are the available bits of memory in the first and second sticks respectively.

Example 1:

Input: memory1 = 2, memory2 = 2
Output: [3,1,0]
Explanation: The memory is allocated as follows:
- At the 1^st second, 1 bit of memory is allocated to stick 1. The first stick now has 1 bit of available memory.
- At the 2^nd second, 2 bits of memory are allocated to stick 2. The second stick now has 0 bits of available memory.
- At the 3^rd second, the program crashes. The sticks have 1 and 0 bits available respectively.

Example 2:

Input: memory1 = 8, memory2 = 11
Output: [6,0,4]
Explanation: The memory is allocated as follows:
- At the 1^st second, 1 bit of memory is allocated to stick 2. The second stick now has 10 bit of available memory.
- At the 2^nd second, 2 bits of memory are allocated to stick 2. The second stick now has 8 bits of available memory.
- At the 3^rd second, 3 bits of memory are allocated to stick 1. The first stick now has 5 bits of available memory.
- At the 4^th second, 4 bits of memory are allocated to stick 2. The second stick now has 4 bits of available memory.
- At the 5^th second, 5 bits of memory are allocated to stick 1. The first stick now has 0 bits of available memory.
- At the 6^th second, the program crashes. The sticks have 0 and 4 bits available respectively.

Constraints:

0 <= memory1, memory2 <= 2³¹ - 1

Solution: Simulation

Time complexity: O(max(memory1, memory2)^0.5)
Space complexity: O(1)

Python3

class Solution:

def memLeak(self, memory1: int, memory2: int) -> List[int]:

for i in range(1, 2**30):

if max(memory1, memory2) < i:

return [i, memory1, memory2]

elif memory1 >= memory2:

memory1 -= i

else:

memory2 -= i

return None

花花酱 LeetCode 1855. Maximum Distance Between a Pair of Values

By zxi on May 8, 2021

You are given two non-increasing 0-indexed integer arrays nums1 and nums2.

A pair of indices (i, j), where 0 <= i < nums1.length and 0 <= j < nums2.length, is valid if both i <= j and nums1[i] <= nums2[j]. The distance of the pair is j - i.

Return the maximum distance of any valid pair (i, j). If there are no valid pairs, return 0.

An array arr is non-increasing if arr[i-1] >= arr[i] for every 1 <= i < arr.length.

Example 1:

Input: nums1 = [55,30,5,4,2], nums2 = [100,20,10,10,5]
Output: 2
Explanation: The valid pairs are (0,0), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (3,3), (3,4), and (4,4).
The maximum distance is 2 with pair (2,4).

Example 2:

Input: nums1 = [2,2,2], nums2 = [10,10,1]
Output: 1
Explanation: The valid pairs are (0,0), (0,1), and (1,1).
The maximum distance is 1 with pair (0,1).

Example 3:

Input: nums1 = [30,29,19,5], nums2 = [25,25,25,25,25]
Output: 2
Explanation: The valid pairs are (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (3,3), and (3,4).
The maximum distance is 2 with pair (2,4).

Example 4:

Input: nums1 = [5,4], nums2 = [3,2]
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no valid pairs, so return 0.

Constraints:

1 <= nums1.length <= 10⁵
1 <= nums2.length <= 10⁵
1 <= nums1[i], nums2[j] <= 10⁵
Both nums1 and nums2 are non-increasing.

Solution: Two Pointers

For each i, find the largest j such that nums[j] >= nums[i].

Time complexity: O(n + m)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

class Solution {

public:

int maxDistance(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2) {

int ans = 0;

for (int i = 0, j = -1; i < nums1.size(); ++i) {

while (j + 1 < nums2.size() && nums2[j + 1] >= nums1[i]) ++j;

if (j >= i) ans = max(ans, j - i);

}

return ans;

}
