240. Search a 2D Matrix II Write an efficient algorithm that searches for a target value in an m x n integer matrix. The matrix has the following properties: Integers in each row are sorted in ascending from left to right. Integers in each column are sorted in ascending from top to bottom. 1 2 3 4 Example 1: Input: matrix = [[1,4,7,11,15],[2,5,8,12,19],[3,6,9,16,22],[10,13,14,17,24],[18,21,23,26,30]], target = 5 Output: true ...
51. N-Queens The n-queens puzzle is the problem of placing n queens on an n x n chessboard such that no two queens attack each other. Given an integer n, return all distinct solutions to the n-queens puzzle. You may return the answer in any order. Each solution contains a distinct board configuration of the n-queens’ placement, where ‘Q’ and ‘.’ both indicate a queen and an empty space, respectively. ...
74. Search a 2D Matrix Write an efficient algorithm that searches for a value in an m x n matrix. This matrix has the following properties: Integers in each row are sorted from left to right. The first integer of each row is greater than the last integer of the previous row. 1 2 3 4 Example 1: Input: matrix = [[1,3,5,7],[10,11,16,20],[23,30,34,60]], target = 3 Output: true ...
Wine Selling Problem Problem statement: Given n wines in a row, with integers denoting the cost of each wine respectively. Each year you can sell the first or the last wine in the row. Let the initial profits from the wines be P1, P2, P3…Pn. In the Yth year, the profit from the ith wine will be Y*P[i]. The goal is to calculate the maximum profit that can be earned by selling all the wines. ...
12. Integer to Roman Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D and M. Symbol Value I 1 V 5 X 10 L 50 C 100 D 500 M 1000 For example, 2 is written as II in Roman numeral, just two one’s added together. 12 is written as XII, which is simply X + II. The number 27 is written as XXVII, which is XX + V + II. ...

1175. Prime Arrangements Return the number of permutations of 1 to n so that prime numbers are at prime indices (1-indexed.) (Recall that an integer is prime if and only if it is greater than 1, and cannot be written as a product of two positive integers both smaller than it.) Since the answer may be large, return the answer modulo 10^9 + 7. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Example 1: Input: n = 5 Output: 12 Explanation: For example [1,2,5,4,3] is a valid permutation, but [5,2,3,4,1] is not because the prime number 5 is at index 1. Example 2: Input: n = 100 Output: 682289015 Constraints: ...
1913. Maximum Product Difference Between Two Pairs The product difference between two pairs (a, b) and (c, d) is defined as (a * b) - (c * d). For example, the product difference between (5, 6) and (2, 7) is (5 * 6) - (2 * 7) = 16. Given an integer array nums, choose four distinct indices w, x, y, and z such that the product difference between pairs (nums[w], nums[x]) and (nums[y], nums[z]) is maximized. ...
50. Pow(x, n) Implement pow(x, n), which calculates x raised to the power n (i.e., xn). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Example 1: Input: x = 2.00000, n = 10 Output: 1024.00000 Example 2: Input: x = 2.10000, n = 3 Output: 9.26100 Example 3: Input: x = 2.00000, n = -2 Output: 0.25000 Explanation: 2-2 = 1/22 = 1/4 = 0.25 Constraints: ...
1071. Greatest Common Divisor of Strings For two strings s and t, we say “t divides s” if and only if s = t + … + t (t concatenated with itself 1 or more times) Given two strings str1 and str2, return the largest string x such that x divides both str1 and str2. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Example 1: Input: str1 = "ABCABC", str2 = "ABC" Output: "ABC" Example 2: Input: str1 = "ABABAB", str2 = "ABAB" Output: "AB" Example 3: Input: str1 = "LEET", str2 = "CODE" Output: "" Example 4: Input: str1 = "ABCDEF", str2 = "ABC" Output: "" Constraints: ...
