花花酱 LeetCode 1472. Design Browser History

By zxi on June 6, 2020

You have a browser of one tab where you start on the homepage and you can visit another url, get back in the history number of steps or move forward in the history number of steps.

Implement the BrowserHistory class:

BrowserHistory(string homepage) Initializes the object with the homepage of the browser.
void visit(string url) visits url from the current page. It clears up all the forward history.
string back(int steps) Move steps back in history. If you can only return x steps in the history and steps > x, you will return only x steps. Return the current url after moving back in history at most steps.
string forward(int steps) Move steps forward in history. If you can only forward x steps in the history and steps > x, you will forward only x steps. Return the current url after forwarding in history at most steps.

Example:

Input:
["BrowserHistory","visit","visit","visit","back","back","forward","visit","forward","back","back"]
[["leetcode.com"],["google.com"],["facebook.com"],["youtube.com"],[1],[1],[1],["linkedin.com"],[2],[2],[7]]
Output:
[null,null,null,null,"facebook.com","google.com","facebook.com",null,"linkedin.com","google.com","leetcode.com"]
Explanation:
BrowserHistory browserHistory = new BrowserHistory("leetcode.com");
browserHistory.visit("google.com");       // You are in "leetcode.com". Visit "google.com"
browserHistory.visit("facebook.com");     // You are in "google.com". Visit "facebook.com"
browserHistory.visit("youtube.com");      // You are in "facebook.com". Visit "youtube.com"
browserHistory.back(1);                   // You are in "youtube.com", move back to "facebook.com" return "facebook.com"
browserHistory.back(1);                   // You are in "facebook.com", move back to "google.com" return "google.com"
browserHistory.forward(1);                // You are in "google.com", move forward to "facebook.com" return "facebook.com"
browserHistory.visit("linkedin.com");     // You are in "facebook.com". Visit "linkedin.com"
browserHistory.forward(2);                // You are in "linkedin.com", you cannot move forward any steps.
browserHistory.back(2);                   // You are in "linkedin.com", move back two steps to "facebook.com" then to "google.com". return "google.com"
browserHistory.back(7);                   // You are in "google.com", you can move back only one step to "leetcode.com". return "leetcode.com"

Constraints:

1 <= homepage.length <= 20
1 <= url.length <= 20
1 <= steps <= 100
homepage and url consist of ‘.’ or lower case English letters.
At most 5000 calls will be made to visit, back, and forward.

花花酱 LeetCode 1470. Shuffle the Array

By zxi on June 6, 2020

Given the array nums consisting of 2n elements in the form [x₁,x₂,...,x_n,y₁,y₂,...,y_n].

Return the array in the form [x₁,y₁,x₂,y₂,...,x_n,y_n].

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,5,1,3,4,7], n = 3
Output: [2,3,5,4,1,7] 
Explanation: Since x₁=2, x₂=5, x₃=1, y₁=3, y₂=4, y₃=7 then the answer is [2,3,5,4,1,7].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1], n = 4
Output: [1,4,2,3,3,2,4,1]

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,1,2,2], n = 2
Output: [1,2,1,2]

Constraints:

1 <= n <= 500
nums.length == 2n
1 <= nums[i] <= 10^3

Solution: Simulation

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<int> shuffle(vector<int>& nums, int n) {

vector<int> ans(n * 2);

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

ans[i] = nums[i / 2 + n * (i % 2)];

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 1441. Build an Array With Stack Operations

By zxi on May 11, 2020

Given an array target and an integer n. In each iteration, you will read a number from list = {1,2,3..., n}.

Build the target array using the following operations:

Push: Read a new element from the beginning list, and push it in the array.
Pop: delete the last element of the array.
If the target array is already built, stop reading more elements.

You are guaranteed that the target array is strictly increasing, only containing numbers between 1 to n inclusive.

Return the operations to build the target array.

You are guaranteed that the answer is unique.

Example 1:

Input: target = [1,3], n = 3
Output: ["Push","Push","Pop","Push"]
Explanation: 
Read number 1 and automatically push in the array -> [1]
Read number 2 and automatically push in the array then Pop it -> [1]
Read number 3 and automatically push in the array -> [1,3]

Example 2:

Input: target = [1,2,3], n = 3
Output: ["Push","Push","Push"]

Example 3:

Input: target = [1,2], n = 4
Output: ["Push","Push"]
Explanation: You only need to read the first 2 numbers and stop.

Example 4:

Input: target = [2,3,4], n = 4
Output: ["Push","Pop","Push","Push","Push"]

Constraints:

1 <= target.length <= 100
1 <= target[i] <= 100
1 <= n <= 100
target is strictly increasing.

Solution: Simulation

For each number in target, keep discarding i if i != num by “Push” + “Pop”, until i == num. One more “Push”.

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n) or O(1) w/o output.

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

vector<string> buildArray(vector<int>& target, int n) {

vector<string> ans;

int i = 1;

for (int num : target) {

while (i != num) {

ans.push_back("Push");

ans.push_back("Pop");

++i;

}

ans.push_back("Push");

++i;

}

return ans;

}

};

LeetCode 1422. Maximum Score After Splitting a String

By zxi on April 25, 2020

Given a string s of zeros and ones, return the maximum score after splitting the string into two non-empty substrings (i.e. left substring and right substring).

The score after splitting a string is the number of zeros in the left substring plus the number of ones in the right substring.

Example 1:

Input: s = "011101"
Output: 5 
Explanation: 
All possible ways of splitting s into two non-empty substrings are:
left = "0" and right = "11101", score = 1 + 4 = 5 
left = "01" and right = "1101", score = 1 + 3 = 4 
left = "011" and right = "101", score = 1 + 2 = 3 
left = "0111" and right = "01", score = 1 + 1 = 2 
left = "01110" and right = "1", score = 2 + 1 = 3

Example 2:

Input: s = "00111"
Output: 5
Explanation: When left = "00" and right = "111", we get the maximum score = 2 + 3 = 5

Example 3:

Input: s = "1111"
Output: 3

Constraints:

2 <= s.length <= 500
The string s consists of characters ‘0’ and ‘1’ only.

Solution 1: Brute Force

Time complexity: O(n^2)
Space complexity: O(1)

Solution 2: Counting

2.1 Two passes,
1st, count the number of ones of the entire string
2nd, inc zeros or dec ones according to s[i]
ans = max(zeros + ones)

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int maxScore(string s) {

int ones = 0;

for (char c : s)

if (c == '1') ++ones;

int zeros = 0;

int ans = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < s.length() - 1; ++i) {

if (s[i] == '0') ++zeros;

else --ones;

ans = max(ans, zeros + ones);

}

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 1410. HTML Entity Parser

By zxi on April 11, 2020

HTML entity parser is the parser that takes HTML code as input and replace all the entities of the special characters by the characters itself.

The special characters and their entities for HTML are:

Quotation Mark: the entity is " and symbol character is ".
Single Quote Mark: the entity is ' and symbol character is '.
Ampersand: the entity is & and symbol character is &.
Greater Than Sign: the entity is > and symbol character is >.
Less Than Sign: the entity is < and symbol character is <.
Slash: the entity is &frasl; and symbol character is /.

Given the input text string to the HTML parser, you have to implement the entity parser.

Return the text after replacing the entities by the special characters.

Example 1:

Input: text = "&amp; is an HTML entity but &ambassador; is not."
Output: "& is an HTML entity but &ambassador; is not."
Explanation: The parser will replace the &amp; entity by &

Example 2:

Input: text = "and I quote: &quot;...&quot;"
Output: "and I quote: \"...\""

Example 3:

Input: text = "Stay home! Practice on Leetcode :)"
Output: "Stay home! Practice on Leetcode :)"

Example 4:

Input: text = "x &gt; y &amp;&amp; x &lt; y is always false"
Output: "x > y && x < y is always false"

Example 5:

Input: text = "leetcode.com&frasl;problemset&frasl;all"
Output: "leetcode.com/problemset/all"

Constraints:

1 <= text.length <= 10^5
The string may contain any possible characters out of all the 256 ASCII characters.

Solution: Simulation

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

string entityParser(string text) {

map<string, string> m{

{""", "\""}, {"'", "'"}, {"&", "&"},

{">", ">"}, {"<", "<"}, {"&frasl;", "/"}};

string ans;

string buf;

for (char c : text) {

buf += c;

if (buf.back() != ';') continue;

const int l = buf.size();

for (const auto& [k, v] : m) {

const int kl = k.length();

if (l >= kl && buf.substr(l - kl) == k) {

ans += buf.substr(0, l - kl) + v;

buf.clear();

break;

}

return ans + buf;

}

};
