花花酱 LeetCode 1419. Minimum Number of Frogs Croaking

By zxi on April 20, 2020

Given the string croakOfFrogs, which represents a combination of the string “croak” from different frogs, that is, multiple frogs can croak at the same time, so multiple “croak” are mixed. Return the minimum number of different frogs to finish all the croak in the given string.

A valid “croak” means a frog is printing 5 letters ‘c’, ’r’, ’o’, ’a’, ’k’ sequentially. The frogs have to print all five letters to finish a croak. If the given string is not a combination of valid “croak” return -1.

Example 1:

Input: croakOfFrogs = "croakcroak"
Output: 1 
Explanation: One frog yelling "croak" twice.

Example 2:

Input: croakOfFrogs = "crcoakroak"
Output: 2 
Explanation: The minimum number of frogs is two. 
The first frog could yell "crcoakroak".
The second frog could yell later "crcoakroak".

Example 3:

Input: croakOfFrogs = "croakcrook"
Output: -1
Explanation: The given string is an invalid combination of "croak" from different frogs.

Example 4:

Input: croakOfFrogs = "croakcroa"
Output: -1

Constraints:

1 <= croakOfFrogs.length <= 10^5
All characters in the string are: 'c', 'r', 'o', 'a' or 'k'.

Solution: Hashtable

Count the frequency of the letters, we need to make sure f[c] >= f[r] >= f[o] >= f[a] >= f[k] holds all the time, otherwise return -1.
whenever encounter c, increase the current frog, whenever there is k, decrease the frog count.
Don’t forget to check the current frog number, should be 0 in the end, otherwise there are open letters.

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

int minNumberOfFrogs(string croakOfFrogs) {

vector<int> idx(26);

idx['c' - 'a'] = 0;

idx['r' - 'a'] = 1;

idx['o' - 'a'] = 2;

idx['a' - 'a'] = 3;

idx['k' - 'a'] = 4;

vector<int> count(5);

int cur = 0;

int ans = 0;

for (char ch : croakOfFrogs) {

const int i = idx[ch - 'a'];

++count[i];

if (ch == 'c') {

ans = max(ans, ++cur);

continue;

}

if (count[i] > count[i - 1]) return -1;

if (ch == 'k') --cur;

}

return cur ? -1 : ans;

}

花花酱 LeetCode 1417. Reformat The String

By zxi on April 20, 2020

Given alphanumeric string s. (Alphanumeric string is a string consisting of lowercase English letters and digits).

You have to find a permutation of the string where no letter is followed by another letter and no digit is followed by another digit. That is, no two adjacent characters have the same type.

Return the reformatted string or return an empty string if it is impossible to reformat the string.

Example 1:

Input: s = "a0b1c2"
Output: "0a1b2c"
Explanation: No two adjacent characters have the same type in "0a1b2c". "a0b1c2", "0a1b2c", "0c2a1b" are also valid permutations.

Example 2:

Input: s = "leetcode"
Output: ""
Explanation: "leetcode" has only characters so we cannot separate them by digits.

Example 3:

Input: s = "1229857369"
Output: ""
Explanation: "1229857369" has only digits so we cannot separate them by characters.

Example 4:

Input: s = "covid2019"
Output: "c2o0v1i9d"

Example 5:

Input: s = "ab123"
Output: "1a2b3"

Constraints:

1 <= s.length <= 500
s consists of only lowercase English letters and/or digits.

Solution: Two streams

Create two stacks, one for alphas, another for numbers. If the larger stack has more than one element than the other one then no solution, return “”. Otherwise, interleave two stacks, start with the larger one.

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

C++

// Author: Huahua

class Solution {

public:

string reformat(string s) {

string q1;

string q2;

for (char c : s) {

if (isalpha(c))

q1 += c;

else

q2 += c;

}

if (q1.length() < q2.length())

swap(q1, q2);

if (q1.length() > q2.length() + 1)

return "";

string ans;

while (!q1.empty()) {

ans += q1.back();

q1.pop_back();

if (q2.empty()) break;

ans += q2.back();

q2.pop_back();

}

return ans;

}

};

花花酱 LeetCode 1381. Design a Stack With Increment Operation

By zxi on March 15, 2020

Design a stack which supports the following operations.

Implement the CustomStack class:

CustomStack(int maxSize) Initializes the object with maxSize which is the maximum number of elements in the stack or do nothing if the stack reached the maxSize.
void push(int x) Adds x to the top of the stack if the stack hasn’t reached the maxSize.
int pop() Pops and returns the top of stack or -1 if the stack is empty.
void inc(int k, int val) Increments the bottom k elements of the stack by val. If there are less than k elements in the stack, just increment all the elements in the stack.

Example 1:

Input
["CustomStack","push","push","pop","push","push","push","increment","increment","pop","pop","pop","pop"]
[[3],[1],[2],[],[2],[3],[4],[5,100],[2,100],[],[],[],[]]
Output
[null,null,null,2,null,null,null,null,null,103,202,201,-1]
Explanation
CustomStack customStack = new CustomStack(3); // Stack is Empty []
customStack.push(1);                          // stack becomes [1]
customStack.push(2);                          // stack becomes [1, 2]
customStack.pop();                            // return 2 --> Return top of the stack 2, stack becomes [1]
customStack.push(2);                          // stack becomes [1, 2]
customStack.push(3);                          // stack becomes [1, 2, 3]
customStack.push(4);                          // stack still [1, 2, 3], Don't add another elements as size is 4
customStack.increment(5, 100);                // stack becomes [101, 102, 103]
customStack.increment(2, 100);                // stack becomes [201, 202, 103]
customStack.pop();                            // return 103 --> Return top of the stack 103, stack becomes [201, 202]
customStack.pop();                            // return 202 --> Return top of the stack 102, stack becomes [201]
customStack.pop();                            // return 201 --> Return top of the stack 101, stack becomes []
customStack.pop();                            // return -1 --> Stack is empty return -1.

inc: O(k)

花花酱 LeetCode 227. Basic Calculator II

By zxi on March 9, 2020

Implement a basic calculator to evaluate a simple expression string.

The expression string contains only non-negative integers, +, -, *, / operators and empty spaces . The integer division should truncate toward zero.

Example 1:

Input: "3+2*2"
Output: 7

Example 2:

Input: " 3/2 "
Output: 1

Example 3:

Input: " 3+5 / 2 "
Output: 5

Note:

You may assume that the given expression is always valid.
Do not use the eval built-in library function.

Solution: Stack

if operator is ‘+’ or ‘-’, push the current num * sign onto stack.
if operator ‘*’ or ‘/’, pop the last num from stack and * or / by the current num and push it back to stack.

The answer is the sum of numbers on stack.

3+2*2 => {3}, {3,2}, {3, 2*2} = {3, 4} => ans = 7
3 +5/2 => {3}, {3,5}, {3, 5/2} = {3, 2} => ans = 5
1 + 2*3 – 5 => {1}, {1,2}, {1,2*3} = {1,6}, {1, 6, -5} => ans = 2

vector<int> nums;

char op = '+';

花花酱 LeetCode 84. Largest Rectangle in Histogram

By zxi on February 14, 2020

Given n non-negative integers representing the histogram’s bar height where the width of each bar is 1, find the area of largest rectangle in the histogram.

Above is a histogram where width of each bar is 1, given height = [2,1,5,6,2,3].

The largest rectangle is shown in the shaded area, which has area = 10 unit.

Example:

Input: [2,1,5,6,2,3]
Output: 10

Solution 1: Monotonic Stack

Use a monotonic stack to maintain the higher bars’s indices in ascending order.
When encounter a lower bar, pop the tallest bar and use it as the bottleneck to compute the area.

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

C++

// Author: Huahua, 12ms, 10.7MB

class Solution {

public:

int largestRectangleArea(vector<int>& heights) {

heights.push_back(0);

const int n = heights.size();

stack<int> s;

int ans = 0;

int i = 0;

while (i < n) {

if (s.empty() || heights[i] >= heights[s.top()]) {

s.push(i++);

} else {

int h = heights[s.top()]; s.pop();

int w = s.empty() ? i : i - s.top() - 1;

ans = max(ans, h * w);

}

return ans;

}

};
