[LeetCode] Can You Eat Your Favorite Candy on Your Favorite Day?

1744. Can You Eat Your Favorite Candy on Your Favorite Day?

You are given a (0-indexed) array of positive integers candiesCount where candiesCount[i] represents the number of candies of the ith type you have. You are also given a 2D array queries where queries[i] = [favoriteTypei, favoriteDayi, dailyCapi].

You play a game with the following rules:

  • You start eating candies on day 0.
  • You cannot eat any candy of type i unless you have eaten all candies of type i - 1.
  • You must eat at least one candy per day until you have eaten all the candies.

Construct a boolean array answer such that answer.length == queries.length and answer[i] is true if you can eat a candy of type favoriteTypei on day favoriteDayi without eating more than dailyCapi candies on any day, and false otherwise. Note that you can eat different types of candy on the same day, provided that you follow rule 2.

Return the constructed array answer.

[LeetCode] Number of Ways to Arrive at Destination

1976. Number of Ways to Arrive at Destination

You are in a city that consists of n intersections numbered from 0 to n - 1 with bi-directional roads between some intersections. The inputs are generated such that you can reach any intersection from any other intersection and that there is at most one road between any two intersections.

You are given an integer n and a 2D integer array roads where roads[i] = [ui, vi, timei] means that there is a road between intersections ui and vi that takes timei minutes to travel. You want to know in how many ways you can travel from intersection 0 to intersection n - 1 in the shortest amount of time.

Return the number of ways you can arrive at your destination in the shortest amount of time. Since the answer may be large, return it modulo 1e9 + 7.

[LeetCode] Minimum Non-Zero Product of the Array Elements

1969. Minimum Non-Zero Product of the Array Elements

You are given a positive integer p. Consider an array nums (1-indexed) that consists of the integers in the inclusive range [1, 2p - 1] in their binary representations. You are allowed to do the following operation any number of times:

  • Choose two elements x and y from nums.
  • Choose a bit in x and swap it with its corresponding bit in y. Corresponding bit refers to the bit that is in the same position in the other integer.

For example, if x = 1101 and y = 0011, after swapping the 2nd bit from the right, we have x = 1111 and y = 0001.

Find the minimum non-zero product of nums after performing the above operation any number of times. Return this product modulo 109 + 7.

Note: The answer should be the minimum product before the modulo operation is done.

[LeetCode] Minimum Number of Work Sessions to Finish the Tasks

1986. Minimum Number of Work Sessions to Finish the Tasks

There are n tasks assigned to you. The task times are represented as an integer array tasks of length n, where the ith task takes tasks[i] hours to finish. A work session is when you work for at most sessionTime consecutive hours and then take a break.

You should finish the given tasks in a way that satisfies the following conditions:

  • If you start a task in a work session, you must complete it in the same work session.
  • You can start a new task immediately after finishing the previous one.
  • You may complete the tasks in any order.

Given tasks and sessionTime, return the minimum number of work sessions needed to finish all the tasks following the conditions above.

The tests are generated such that sessionTime is greater than or equal to the maximum element in tasks[i].

[LeetCode] Maximum Value at a Given Index in a Bounded Array

1802. Maximum Value at a Given Index in a Bounded Array

You are given three positive integers: n, index, and maxSum. You want to construct an array nums (0-indexed) that satisfies the following conditions:

  • nums.length == n
  • nums[i] is a positive integer where 0 <= i < n.
  • abs(nums[i] - nums[i+1]) <= 1 where 0 <= i < n-1.
  • The sum of all the elements of nums does not exceed maxSum.
  • nums[index] is maximized.

Return nums[index] of the constructed array.

Note that abs(x) equals x if x >= 0, and -x otherwise.

[LeetCode] The Number of Weak Characters in the Game

1996. The Number of Weak Characters in the Game

You are playing a game that contains multiple characters, and each of the characters has two main properties: attack and defense. You are given a 2D integer array properties where properties[i] = [attacki, defensei] represents the properties of the ith character in the game.

A character is said to be weak if any other character has both attack and defense levels strictly greater than this character’s attack and defense levels. More formally, a character i is said to be weak if there exists another character j where attackj > attacki and defensej > defensei.

Return the number of weak characters.

[LeetCode] Stone Game IX

2029. Stone Game IX

Alice and Bob continue their games with stones. There is a row of n stones, and each stone has an associated value. You are given an integer array stones, where stones[i] is the value of the ith stone.

Alice and Bob take turns, with Alice starting first. On each turn, the player may remove any stone from stones. The player who removes a stone loses if the sum of the values of all removed stones is divisible by 3. Bob will win automatically if there are no remaining stones (even if it is Alice’s turn).

Assuming both players play optimally, return true if Alice wins and false if Bob wins.

[LeetCode] Minimum Absolute Sum Difference

1818. Minimum Absolute Sum Difference

You are given two positive integer arrays nums1 and nums2, both of length n.

The absolute sum difference of arrays nums1 and nums2 is defined as the sum of |nums1[i] - nums2[i]| for each 0 <= i < n (0-indexed).

You can replace at most one element of nums1 with any other element in nums1 to minimize the absolute sum difference.

Return the minimum absolute sum difference after replacing at most one element in the array nums1. Since the answer may be large, return it modulo 109 + 7.

|x| is defined as:

  • x if x >= 0, or
  • -x if x < 0.

[LeetCode] Non-decreasing Array

665. Non-decreasing Array

Given an array nums with n integers, your task is to check if it could become non-decreasing by modifying at most one element.

We define an array is non-decreasing if nums[i] <= nums[i + 1] holds for every i (0-based) such that (0 <= i <= n - 2).

[LeetCode] Walking Robot Simulation

874. Walking Robot Simulation

A robot on an infinite XY-plane starts at point (0, 0) facing north. The robot can receive a sequence of these three possible types of commands:

  • -2: Turn left 90 degrees.
  • -1: Turn right 90 degrees.
  • 1 <= k <= 9: Move forward k units, one unit at a time.

Some of the grid squares are obstacles. The ith obstacle is at grid point obstacles[i] = (xi, yi). If the robot runs into an obstacle, then it will instead stay in its current location and move on to the next command.

Return the maximum Euclidean distance that the robot ever gets from the origin squared (i.e. if the distance is 5, return 25).

Note:

  • North means +Y direction.
  • East means +X direction.
  • South means -Y direction.
  • West means -X direction.
