[LeetCode] Unique Paths III

980. Unique Paths III

On a 2-dimensional grid, there are 4 types of squares:

  • 1 represents the starting square. There is exactly one starting square.
  • 2 represents the ending square. There is exactly one ending square.
  • 0 represents empty squares we can walk over.
  • -1 represents obstacles that we cannot walk over.

Return the number of 4-directional walks from the starting square to the ending square, that walk over every non-obstacle square exactly once.

[LeetCode] Knight Dialer

935. Knight Dialer

The chess knight has a unique movement, it may move two squares vertically and one square horizontally, or two squares horizontally and one square vertically (with both forming the shape of an L). The possible movements of chess knight are shown in this diagaram:

A chess knight can move as indicated in the chess diagram below:

We have a chess knight and a phone pad as shown below, the knight can only stand on a numeric cell (i.e. blue cell).

Given an integer n, return how many distinct phone numbers of length n we can dial.

You are allowed to place the knight on any numeric cell initially and then you should perform n - 1 jumps to dial a number of length n. All jumps should be valid knight jumps.

As the answer may be very large, return the answer modulo 109 + 7.

[LeetCode] Restore IP Addresses

93. Restore IP Addresses

Given a string s containing only digits, return all possible valid IP addresses that can be obtained from s. You can return them in any order.

A valid IP address consists of exactly four integers, each integer is between 0 and 255, separated by single dots and cannot have leading zeros. For example, “0.1.2.201” and “192.168.1.1” are valid IP addresses and “0.011.255.245”, “192.168.1.312” and “192.168@1.1” are invalid IP addresses.

[LeetCode] Add Bold Tag in String

616. Add Bold Tag in String

You are given a string s and an array of strings words. You should add a closed pair of bold tag and to wrap the substrings in s that exist in words. If two such substrings overlap, you should wrap them together with only one pair of closed bold-tag. If two substrings wrapped by bold tags are consecutive, you should combine them.

Return s after adding the bold tags.

[LeetCode] Design Bounded Blocking Queue

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.

Please do not use built-in implementations of bounded blocking queue as this will not be accepted in an interview.

[LeetCode] Evaluate Reverse Polish Notation

150. Evaluate Reverse Polish Notation

Evaluate the value of an arithmetic expression in Reverse Polish Notation.

Valid operators are +, -, *, and /. Each operand may be an integer or another expression.

Note that division between two integers should truncate toward zero.

It is guaranteed that the given RPN expression is always valid. That means the expression would always evaluate to a result, and there will not be any division by zero operation.
