花花酱 LeetCode 1278. Palindrome Partitioning III

You are given a string s containing lowercase letters and an integer k. You need to :

  • First, change some characters of s to other lowercase English letters.
  • Then divide s into k non-empty disjoint substrings such that each substring is palindrome.

Return the minimal number of characters that you need to change to divide the string.

Example 1:

Input: s = "abc", k = 2
Output: 1
Explanation: You can split the string into "ab" and "c", and change 1 character in "ab" to make it palindrome.

Example 2:

Input: s = "aabbc", k = 3
Output: 0
Explanation: You can split the string into "aa", "bb" and "c", all of them are palindrome.

Example 3:

Input: s = "leetcode", k = 8
Output: 0

Constraints:

  • 1 <= k <= s.length <= 100.
  • s only contains lowercase English letters.

Solution: DP

dp[i][k] := min changes to make s[0~i] into k palindromes
dp[i][k] = min(dp[j][k – 1] + cost(j + 1, i)) 0 <= j < i

ans = dp[n-1][K]

Time complexity: O(n^2 * K) = O(n^3)
Space complexity: O(n*n + n*K) = O(n^2)

花花酱 LeetCode 86. Partition List

Given a linked list and a value x, partition it such that all nodes less than x come before nodes greater than or equal to x.

You should preserve the original relative order of the nodes in each of the two partitions.

Example:

Input: head = 1->4->3->2->5->2, x = 3
Output: 1->2->2->4->3->5

Solution: Two dummy heads

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

花花酱 LeetCode 937. Reorder Log Files

Problem

https://leetcode.com/problems/reorder-log-files/description/

You have an array of logs.  Each log is a space delimited string of words.

For each log, the first word in each log is an alphanumeric identifier.  Then, either:

  • Each word after the identifier will consist only of lowercase letters, or;
  • Each word after the identifier will consist only of digits.

We will call these two varieties of logs letter-logs and digit-logs.  It is guaranteed that each log has at least one word after its identifier.

Reorder the logs so that all of the letter-logs come before any digit-log.  The letter-logs are ordered lexicographically ignoring identifier, with the identifier used in case of ties.  The digit-logs should be put in their original order.

Return the final order of the logs.

Example 1:

Input: ["a1 9 2 3 1","g1 act car","zo4 4 7","ab1 off key dog","a8 act zoo"]
Output: ["g1 act car","a8 act zoo","ab1 off key dog","a1 9 2 3 1","zo4 4 7"]

Note:

  1. 0 <= logs.length <= 100
  2. 3 <= logs[i].length <= 100
  3. logs[i] is guaranteed to have an identifier, and a word after the identifier.

Solution: Partition + Sort

  1. partition the array such that all digit logs are after all letter logs
  2. sort the letter logs part based on the log content

Time complexity: O(n + aloga)

Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 561. Array Partition I

Problem

Given an array of 2n integers, your task is to group these integers into n pairs of integer, say (a1, b1), (a2, b2), …, (an, bn) which makes sum of min(ai, bi) for all i from 1 to n as large as possible.

Example 1:

Input: [1,4,3,2]

Output: 4
Explanation: n is 2, and the maximum sum of pairs is 4 = min(1, 2) + min(3, 4).

Note:

  1. n is a positive integer, which is in the range of [1, 10000].
  2. All the integers in the array will be in the range of [-10000, 10000].

Solution 1: Sorting

Time complexity: O(nlogn)

Space complexity: O(1)

Solution 2: HashTable

Time complexity: O(n + max(nums) – min(nums))

Space complexity: O(max(nums) – min(nums))

 

 

花花酱 LeetCode 886. Possible Bipartition

Problem

Given a set of N people (numbered 1, 2, ..., N), we would like to split everyone into two groups of any size.

Each person may dislike some other people, and they should not go into the same group.

Formally, if dislikes[i] = [a, b], it means it is not allowed to put the people numbered a and b into the same group.

Return true if and only if it is possible to split everyone into two groups in this way.

Example 1:

Input: N = 4, dislikes = [[1,2],[1,3],[2,4]]
Output: true
Explanation: group1 [1,4], group2 [2,3]

Example 2:

Input: N = 3, dislikes = [[1,2],[1,3],[2,3]]
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: N = 5, dislikes = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[4,5],[1,5]]
Output: false

Note:

  1. 1 <= N <= 2000
  2. 0 <= dislikes.length <= 10000
  3. 1 <= dislikes[i][j] <= N
  4. dislikes[i][0] < dislikes[i][1]
  5. There does not exist i != j for which dislikes[i] == dislikes[j].

 



Solution: Graph Coloring

Color a node with one color, and color all it’s disliked nodes with another color, if can not finish return false.
