72. Edit Distance

72. Edit Distance Given two strings word1 and word2, return the minimum number of operations required to convert word1 to word2. You have the following three operations permitted on a word: Insert a character Delete a character Replace a character Example 1: Input: word1 = "horse", word2 = "ros" Output: 3 Explanation: horse -> rorse (replace 'h' with 'r') rorse -> rose (remove 'r') rose -> ros (remove 'e') Example 2: Input: word1 = "intention", word2 = "execution" Output: 5 Explanation: intention -> inention (remove 't') inention -> enention (replace 'i' with 'e') enention -> exention (replace 'n' with 'x') exention -> exection (replace 'n' with 'c') exection -> execution (insert 'u') Constraints: ...

720. Longest Word in Dictionary

720. Longest Word in Dictionary Given an array of strings words representing an English Dictionary, return the longest word in words that can be built one character at a time by other words in words. If there is more than one possible answer, return the longest word with the smallest lexicographical order. If there is no answer, return the empty string. Example 1: Input: words = ["w","wo","wor","worl","world"] Output: "world" Explanation: The word "world" can be built one character at a time by "w", "wo", "wor", and "worl". Example 2: Input: words = ["a","banana","app","appl","ap","apply","apple"] Output: "apple" Explanation: Both "apply" and "apple" can be built from other words in the dictionary. However, "apple" is lexicographically smaller than "apply". Constraints: ...

535. Encode and Decode TinyURL

535. Encode and Decode TinyURL Note: This is a companion problem to the System Design problem: Design TinyURL. TinyURL is a URL shortening service where you enter a URL such as https://leetcode.com/problems/design-tinyurl and it returns a short URL such as http://tinyurl.com/4e9iAk. Design a class to encode a URL and decode a tiny URL. There is no restriction on how your encode/decode algorithm should work. You just need to ensure that a URL can be encoded to a tiny URL and the tiny URL can be decoded to the original URL. ...

28. Implement strStr()

28. Implement strStr() Implement strStr(). Return the index of the first occurrence of needle in haystack, or -1 if needle is not part of haystack. Clarification: What should we return when needle is an empty string? This is a great question to ask during an interview. For the purpose of this problem, we will return 0 when needle is an empty string. This is consistent to C’s strstr() and Java’s indexOf(). ...

567. Permutation in String

567. Permutation in String Given two strings s1 and s2, write a function to return true if s2 contains the permutation of s1. In other words, one of the first string’s permutations is the substring of the second string. Example 1: Input: s1 = "ab" s2 = "eidbaooo" Output: True Explanation: s2 contains one permutation of s1 ("ba"). Example 2: Input:s1= "ab" s2 = "eidboaoo" Output: False Constraints: ...

1828. Queries on Number of Points Inside a Circle

1828. Queries on Number of Points Inside a Circle You are given an array points where points[i] = [xi, yi] is the coordinates of the ith point on a 2D plane. Multiple points can have the same coordinates. You are also given an array queries where queries[j] = [xj, yj, rj] describes a circle centered at (xj, yj) with a radius of rj. For each query queries[j], compute the number of points inside the jth circle. Points on the border of the circle are considered inside. ...

1016. Binary String With Substrings Representing 1 To N

1016. Binary String With Substrings Representing 1 To N Given a binary string S (a string consisting only of ‘0’ and ‘1’s) and a positive integer N, return true if and only if for every integer X from 1 to N, the binary representation of X is a substring of S. Example 1: Input: S = "0110", N = 3 Output: true Example 2: Input: S = "0110", N = 4 Output: false Note: ...

1365. How Many Numbers Are Smaller Than the Current Number

1365. How Many Numbers Are Smaller Than the Current Number Given the array nums, for each nums[i] find out how many numbers in the array are smaller than it. That is, for each nums[i] you have to count the number of valid j’s such that j != i and nums[j] < nums[i]. Return the answer in an array. Example 1: Input: nums = [8,1,2,2,3] Output: [4,0,1,1,3] Explanation: For nums[0]=8 there exist four smaller numbers than it (1, 2, 2 and 3). For nums[1]=1 does not exist any smaller number than it. For nums[2]=2 there exist one smaller number than it (1). For nums[3]=2 there exist one smaller number than it (1). For nums[4]=3 there exist three smaller numbers than it (1, 2 and 2). Example 2: Input: nums = [6,5,4,8] Output: [2,1,0,3] Example 3: Input: nums = [7,7,7,7] Output: [0,0,0,0] Constraints: ...

1827. Minimum Operations to Make the Array Increasing

1827. Minimum Operations to Make the Array Increasing You are given an integer array nums (0-indexed). In one operation, you can choose an element of the array and increment it by 1. For example, if nums = [1,2,3], you can choose to increment nums[1] to make nums = [1,3,3]. Return the minimum number of operations needed to make nums strictly increasing. An array nums is strictly increasing if nums[i] < nums[i+1] for all 0 <= i < nums.length - 1. An array of length 1 is trivially strictly increasing. ...
