124. Binary Tree Maximum Path Sum

A path in a binary tree is a sequence of nodes where each pair of adjacent nodes in the sequence has an edge connecting them. A node can only appear in the sequence at most once. Note that the path does not need to pass through the root. The path sum of a path is the sum of the node’s values in the path. ...

261. Graph Valid Tree

You have a graph of n nodes labeled from 0 to n - 1. You are given an integer n and a list of edges where edges[i] = [ai, bi] indicates that there is an undirected edge between nodes ai and bi in the graph. Return true if the edges of the given graph make up a valid tree, and false otherwise. Example 1: Input: n = 5, edges = [[0,1],[0,2],[0,3],[1,4]] Output: true ...

415. Add Strings

Given two non-negative integers, num1 and num2 represented as string, return the sum of num1 and num2 as a string. You must solve the problem without using any built-in library for handling large integers (such as BigInteger). You must also not convert the inputs to integers directly. Example 1: Input: num1 = "11", num2 = "123" Output: "134" Example 2: Input: num1 = "456", num2 = "77" Output: "533" Example 3: Input: num1 = "0", num2 = "0" Output: "0" Constraints: ...

528. Random Pick with Weight

You are given a 0-indexed array of positive integers w where w[i] describes the weight of the ith index. You need to implement the function pickIndex(), which randomly picks an index in the range [0, w.length - 1] (inclusive) and returns it. The probability of picking an index i is w[i] / sum(w). For example, if w = [1, 3], the probability of picking index 0 is 1 / (1 + 3) = 0.25 (i.e., 25%), and the probability of picking index 1 is 3 / (1 + 3) = 0.75 (i.e., 75%). Example 1: Input ["Solution","pickIndex"] [[[1]],[]] Output [null,0] Explanation Solution solution = new Solution([1]); solution.pickIndex(); // return 0. The only option is to return 0 since there is only one element in w. Example 2: Input ["Solution","pickIndex","pickIndex","pickIndex","pickIndex","pickIndex"] [[[1,3]],[],[],[],[],[]] Output [null,1,1,1,1,0] Explanation Solution solution = new Solution([1, 3]); solution.pickIndex(); // return 1. It is returning the second element (index = 1) that has a probability of 3/4. solution.pickIndex(); // return 1 solution.pickIndex(); // return 1 solution.pickIndex(); // return 1 solution.pickIndex(); // return 0. It is returning the first element (index = 0) that has a probability of 1/4. Since this is a randomization problem, multiple answers are allowed. All of the following outputs can be considered correct: [null,1,1,1,1,0] [null,1,1,1,1,1] [null,1,1,1,0,0] [null,1,1,1,0,1] [null,1,0,1,0,0] ...... and so on. Constraints: ...

1188. Design Bounded Blocking Queue

Implement a thread-safe bounded blocking queue that has the following methods: BoundedBlockingQueue(int capacity) The constructor initializes the queue with a maximum capacity. void enqueue(int element) Adds an element to the front of the queue. If the queue is full, the calling thread is blocked until the queue is no longer full. int dequeue() Returns the element at the rear of the queue and removes it. If the queue is empty, the calling thread is blocked until the queue is no longer empty. int size() Returns the number of elements currently in the queue. Your implementation will be tested using multiple threads at the same time. Each thread will either be a producer thread that only makes calls to the enqueue method or a consumer thread that only makes calls to the dequeue method. The size method will be called after every test case. ...

694. Number of Distinct Islands

You are given an m x n binary matrix grid. An island is a group of 1’s (representing land) connected 4-directionally (horizontal or vertical.) You may assume all four edges of the grid are surrounded by water. An island is considered to be the same as another if and only if one island can be translated (and not rotated or reflected) to equal the other. ...

128. Longest Consecutive Sequence

Given an unsorted array of integers nums, return the length of the longest consecutive elements sequence. You must write an algorithm that runs in O(n) time. Example 1: Input: nums = [100,4,200,1,3,2] Output: 4 Explanation: The longest consecutive elements sequence is [1, 2, 3, 4]. Therefore its length is 4. Example 2: Input: nums = [0,3,7,2,5,8,4,6,0,1] Output: 9 Constraints: 0 <= nums.length <= 105 -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9 DFS Solution class Solution { public int longestConsecutive(int[] nums) { int n = nums.length; if (n == 0) return 0; Arrays.sort(nums); int max = 1; int currentMax = 1; for (int i = 1; i < n ; i++) { if (nums[i] - nums[i - 1] == 0) { continue; } else if (nums[i] - nums[i - 1] == 1) { currentMax++; max = Math.max(max, currentMax); } else { currentMax = 1; } } return max; } }

16. 3Sum Closest

Given an integer array nums of length n and an integer target, find three integers in nums such that the sum is closest to target. Return the sum of the three integers. You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution. Example 1: Input: nums = [-1,2,1,-4], target = 1 Output: 2 Explanation: The sum that is closest to the target is 2. (-1 + 2 + 1 = 2). Example 2: Input: nums = [0,0,0], target = 1 Output: 0 Constraints: ...

297. Serialize and Deserialize Binary Tree

Serialization is the process of converting a data structure or object into a sequence of bits so that it can be stored in a file or memory buffer, or transmitted across a network connection link to be reconstructed later in the same or another computer environment. Design an algorithm to serialize and deserialize a binary tree. There is no restriction on how your serialization/deserialization algorithm should work. You just need to ensure that a binary tree can be serialized to a string and this string can be deserialized to the original tree structure. ...

1650. Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Tree III

Given two nodes of a binary tree p and q, return their lowest common ancestor (LCA). Each node will have a reference to its parent node. The definition for Node is below: class Node { public int val; public Node left; public Node right; public Node parent; } According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor of two nodes p and q in a tree T is the lowest node that has both p and q as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).” ...
