花花酱 LeetCode 889. Spiral Matrix III

Problem

On a 2 dimensional grid with R rows and C columns, we start at (r0, c0) facing east.

Here, the north-west corner of the grid is at the first row and column, and the south-east corner of the grid is at the last row and column.

Now, we walk in a clockwise spiral shape to visit every position in this grid.

Whenever we would move outside the boundary of the grid, we continue our walk outside the grid (but may return to the grid boundary later.)

Eventually, we reach all R * C spaces of the grid.

Return a list of coordinates representing the positions of the grid in the order they were visited.

 

Example 1:

Input: R = 1, C = 4, r0 = 0, c0 = 0
Output: [[0,0],[0,1],[0,2],[0,3]]


 

Example 2:

Input: R = 5, C = 6, r0 = 1, c0 = 4
Output: [[1,4],[1,5],[2,5],[2,4],[2,3],[1,3],[0,3],[0,4],[0,5],[3,5],[3,4],[3,3],[3,2],[2,2],[1,2],[0,2],[4,5],[4,4],[4,3],[4,2],[4,1],[3,1],[2,1],[1,1],[0,1],[4,0],[3,0],[2,0],[1,0],[0,0]]



Note:

  1. 1 <= R <= 100
  2. 1 <= C <= 100
  3. 0 <= r0 < R
  4. 0 <= c0 < C

Solution: Simulation

We can find out the moving sequence is ESWWNNEEESSSWWWWNNNN.

The pattern is 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,… steps in one direction, and turn right for 90 degrees.

directions are E,S,W,N,E,S,W,N…

Time complexity: O(max(R,C)^2)

Space complexity: O(1) or O(RC) if ans included.

 

花花酱 LeetCode 189. Rotate Array

Problem

Given an array, rotate the array to the right by k steps, where k is non-negative.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] and k = 3 
Output: [5,6,7,1,2,3,4]
Explanation: rotate 1 steps to the right: [7,1,2,3,4,5,6] rotate 2 steps to the right: [6,7,1,2,3,4,5] 
rotate 3 steps to the right: [5,6,7,1,2,3,4]

Example 2:

Input:[-1,-100,3,99] and k = 2 
Output: [3,99,-1,-100] 
Explanation: rotate 1 steps to the right: [99,-1,-100,3] rotate 2 steps to the right: [3,99,-1,-100]

Note:

  • Try to come up as many solutions as you can, there are at least 3 different ways to solve this problem.
  • Could you do it in-place with O(1) extra space?

Solution 1: Simulate rotation with three reverses.

If k >= n, rotating k times has the same effect as rotating k % n times.

[1,2,3,4,5,6,7], K = 3

[5,6,7,1,2,3,4]

We can simulate the rotation with three reverses.

  1. reverse the whole array O(n) [7,6,5,4,3,2,1]
  2. reverse the left part 0 ~ k – 1 O(k) [5,6,7,4,3,2,1]
  3. reverse the right part k ~ n – 1 O(n-k) [5,6,7,1,2,3,4]

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1) in-place

花花酱 LeetCode 855. Exam Room

Problem

In an exam room, there are N seats in a single row, numbered 0, 1, 2, ..., N-1.

When a student enters the room, they must sit in the seat that maximizes the distance to the closest person.  If there are multiple such seats, they sit in the seat with the lowest number.  (Also, if no one is in the room, then the student sits at seat number 0.)

Return a class ExamRoom(int N) that exposes two functions: ExamRoom.seat() returning an int representing what seat the student sat in, and ExamRoom.leave(int p) representing that the student in seat number p now leaves the room.  It is guaranteed that any calls to ExamRoom.leave(p) have a student sitting in seat p.

Example 1:

Input: ["ExamRoom","seat","seat","seat","seat","leave","seat"], [[10],[],[],[],[],[4],[]]
Output: [null,0,9,4,2,null,5]
Explanation:
ExamRoom(10) -> null
seat() -> 0, no one is in the room, then the student sits at seat number 0.
seat() -> 9, the student sits at the last seat number 9.
seat() -> 4, the student sits at the last seat number 4.
seat() -> 2, the student sits at the last seat number 2.
leave(4) -> null
seat() -> 5, the student​​​​​​​ sits at the last seat number 5.

​​​​Note:

  1. 1 <= N <= 10^9
  2. ExamRoom.seat() and ExamRoom.leave() will be called at most 10^4 times across all test cases.
  3. Calls to ExamRoom.leave(p) are guaranteed to have a student currently sitting in seat number p.

Solution: BST

Use a BST (ordered set) to track the current seatings.

Time Complexity:

init: O(1)

seat: O(P)

leave: O(logP)

Space complexity: O(P)

 

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)

C++

 

花花酱 LeetCode 2. Add Two Numbers

Problem

You are given two non-empty linked lists representing two non-negative integers. The digits are stored in reverse order 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.

Example

Input: (2 -> 4 -> 3) + (5 -> 6 -> 4)
Output: 7 -> 0 -> 8
Explanation: 342 + 465 = 807.

Solution: Simulation

Simulate the addition, draw two numbers (one each) from l1, l2, if list is empty draw 0.

Using a dummy head makes things easier.

Time complexity: O(max(l1,l2))

Space complexity: O(max(l1,l2))
