[LeetCode] Add Two Polynomials Represented as Linked Lists

1634. Add Two Polynomials Represented as Linked Lists

A polynomial linked list is a special type of linked list where every node represents a term in a polynomial expression.

Each node has three attributes:

  • coefficient: an integer representing the number multiplier of the term. The coefficient of the term 9x4 is 9.
  • power: an integer representing the exponent. The power of the term 9x4 is 4.
  • next: a pointer to the next node in the list, or null if it is the last node of the list.

For example, the polynomial 5x3 + 4x - 7 is represented by the polynomial linked list illustrated below:

The polynomial linked list must be in its standard form: the polynomial must be in strictly descending order by its power value. Also, terms with a coefficient of 0 are omitted.

Given two polynomial linked list heads, poly1 and poly2, add the polynomials together and return the head of the sum of the polynomials.

PolyNode format:

The input/output format is as a list of n nodes, where each node is represented as its [coefficient, power]. For example, the polynomial 5x3 + 4x - 7 would be represented as: [[5,3],[4,1],[-7,0]].

[LeetCode] Next Greater Element I

496. Next Greater Element I

The next greater element of some element x in an array is the first greater element that is to the right of x in the same array.

You are given two distinct 0-indexed integer arrays nums1 and nums2, where nums1 is a subset of nums2.

For each 0 <= i < nums1.length, find the index j such that nums1[i] == nums2[j] and determine the next greater element of nums2[j] in nums2. If there is no next greater element, then the answer for this query is -1.

Return an array ans of length nums1.length such that ans[i] is the next greater element as described above.

[LeetCode] Lexicographically Smallest Equivalent String

1061. Lexicographically Smallest Equivalent String

You are given two strings of the same length s1 and s2 and a string baseStr.

We say s1[i] and s2[i] are equivalent characters.

  • For example, if s1 = “abc” and s2 = “cde”, then we have ‘a’ == ‘c’, ‘b’ == ‘d’, and ‘c’ == ‘e’.

Equivalent characters follow the usual rules of any equivalence relation:

  • Reflexivity: ‘a’ == ‘a’.
  • Symmetry: ‘a’ == ‘b’ implies ‘b’ == ‘a’.
  • Transitivity: ‘a’ == ‘b’ and ‘b’ == ‘c’ implies ‘a’ == ‘c’.

For example, given the equivalency information from s1 = “abc” and s2 = “cde”, “acd” and “aab” are equivalent strings of baseStr = “eed”, and “aab” is the lexicographically smallest equivalent string of baseStr.

Return the lexicographically smallest equivalent string of baseStr by using the equivalency information from s1 and s2.
