Given an array with n objects colored red, white or blue, sort them in-place so that objects of the same color are adjacent, with the colors in the order red, white and blue. Here, we will use the integers 0, 1, and 2 to represent the color red, white, and blue respectively. Note: You are not suppose to use the library’s sort function for this problem. Example: 1 2 Input: [2,0,2,1,1,0] Output: [0,0,1,1,2,2] Follow up: ...
Given n, how many structurally unique BST’s (binary search trees) that store values 1 … n? Example: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Input: 3 Output: 5 Explanation: Given n = 3, there are a total of 5 unique BST's: 1 3 3 2 1 \ / / / \ \ 3 2 1 1 3 2 / / \ \ 2 1 2 3 Notes: Catalan’s numbers: ...
Given a circular array C of integers represented by A, find the maximum possible sum of a non-empty subarray of C. Here, a circular array means the end of the array connects to the beginning of the array. (Formally, C[i] = A[i] when 0 <= i < A.length, and C[i+A.length] = C[i] when i >= 0.) Also, a subarray may only include each element of the fixed buffer A at most once. (Formally, for a subarray C[i], C[i+1], …, C[j], there does not exist i <= k1, k2 <= j with k1 % A.length = k2 % A.length.) ...
Given an integer, write a function to determine if it is a power of two. Example 1: 1 2 3 Input: 1 Output: true Explanation: 20 = 1 Example 2: 1 2 3 Input: 16 Output: true Explanation: 24 = 16 Example 3: 1 2 Input: 218 Output: false Solution: ...
A robot is located at the top-left corner of a m x n grid (marked ‘Start’ in the diagram below). The robot can only move either down or right at any point in time. The robot is trying to reach the bottom-right corner of the grid (marked ‘Finish’ in the diagram below). How many possible unique paths are there? Above is a 7 x 3 grid. How many possible unique paths are there? ...
You are given coins of different denominations and a total amount of money. Write a function to compute the number of combinations that make up that amount. You may assume that you have infinite number of each kind of coin. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Example 1: Input: amount = 5, coins = [1, 2, 5] Output: 4 Explanation: there are four ways to make up the amount: 5=5 5=2+2+1 5=2+1+1+1 5=1+1+1+1+1 Example 2: Input: amount = 3, coins = [2] Output: 0 Explanation: the amount of 3 cannot be made up just with coins of 2. Example 3: Input: amount = 10, coins = [10] Output: 1 Note: ...
Suppose you have a random list of people standing in a queue. Each person is described by a pair of integers (h, k), where h is the height of the person and k is the number of people in front of this person who have a height greater than or equal to h. Write an algorithm to reconstruct the queue. Note: The number of people is less than 1,100. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Example Input: [[7,0], [4,4], [7,1], [5,0], [6,1], [5,2]] Output: [[5,0], [7,0], [5,2], [6,1], [4,4], [7,1]] Solution: ...
Given a non-empty list of words, return the k most frequent elements. Your answer should be sorted by frequency from highest to lowest. If two words have the same frequency, then the word with the lower alphabetical order comes first. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Example 1: Input: ["i", "love", "leetcode", "i", "love", "coding"], k = 2 Output: ["i", "love"] Explanation: "i" and "love" are the two most frequent words. Note that "i" comes before "love" due to a lower alphabetical order. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Example 2: Input: ["the", "day", "is", "sunny", "the", "the", "the", "sunny", "is", "is"], k = 4 Output: ["the", "is", "sunny", "day"] Explanation: "the", "is", "sunny" and "day" are the four most frequent words, with the number of occurrence being 4, 3, 2 and 1 respectively. Note: ...
Given an array w of positive integers, where w[i] describes the weight of index i, write a function pickIndex which randomly picks an index in proportion to its weight. Note: 1 <= w.length <= 10000 1 <= w[i] <= 10^5 pickIndex will be called at most 10000 times. Example 1: 1 2 3 4 Input: ["Solution","pickIndex"] [[[1]],[]] Output: [null,0] Example 2: ...
There are 2N people a company is planning to interview. The cost of flying the i-th person to city A is costs[i][0], and the cost of flying the i-th person to city B is costs[i][1]. Return the minimum cost to fly every person to a city such that exactly N people arrive in each city. Example 1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Input: [[10,20],[30,200],[400,50],[30,20]] Output: 110 Explanation: The first person goes to city A for a cost of 10. The second person goes to city A for a cost of 30. The third person goes to city B for a cost of 50. The fourth person goes to city B for a cost of 20. The total minimum cost is 10 + 30 + 50 + 20 = 110 to have half the people interviewing in each city. Note: ...
