[LeetCode] Mini Parser

385. Mini Parser

Given a nested list of integers represented as a string, implement a parser to deserialize it.

Each element is either an integer, or a list — whose elements may also be integers or other lists.

Note: You may assume that the string is well-formed:

  • String is non-empty.
  • String does not contain white spaces.
  • String contains only digits 0-9, [, - ,, ].

[LeetCode] Missing Number

268. Missing Number

Given an array nums containing n distinct numbers in the range [0, n], return the only number in the range that is missing from the array.

Follow up: Could you implement a solution using only O(1) extra space complexity and O(n) runtime complexity?

[LeetCode] Bitwise ORs of Subarrays

898. Bitwise ORs of Subarrays

We have an array arr of non-negative integers.

For every (contiguous) subarray sub = [arr[i], arr[i + 1], …, arr[j]] (with i <= j), we take the bitwise OR of all the elements in sub, obtaining a result arr[i] | arr[i + 1] | … | arr[j].

Return the number of possible results. Results that occur more than once are only counted once in the final answer

[LeetCode] Maximum Sum Circular Subarray

918. Maximum Sum Circular Subarray

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.)

[LeetCode] Set Mismatch

645. Set Mismatch

You have a set of integers s, which originally contains all the numbers from 1 to n. Unfortunately, due to some error, one of the numbers in s got duplicated to another number in the set, which results in repetition of one number and loss of another number.

You are given an integer array nums representing the data status of this set after the error.

Find the number that occurs twice and the number that is missing and return them in the form of an array.

[LeetCode] Longest Uncommon Subsequence II

522. Longest Uncommon Subsequence II

Given a list of strings, you need to find the longest uncommon subsequence among them. The longest uncommon subsequence is defined as the longest subsequence of one of these strings and this subsequence should not be any subsequence of the other strings.

A subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from one sequence by deleting some characters without changing the order of the remaining elements. Trivially, any string is a subsequence of itself and an empty string is a subsequence of any string.

The input will be a list of strings, and the output needs to be the length of the longest uncommon subsequence. If the longest uncommon subsequence doesn’t exist, return -1.

[LeetCode] Delete Columns to Make Sorted II

955. Delete Columns to Make Sorted II

You are given an array of n strings strs, all of the same length.

We may choose any deletion indices, and we delete all the characters in those indices for each string.

For example, if we have strs = [“abcdef”,”uvwxyz”] and deletion indices {0, 2, 3}, then the final array after deletions is [“bef”, “vyz”].

Suppose we chose a set of deletion indices answer such that after deletions, the final array has its elements in lexicographic order (i.e., strs[0] <= strs[1] <= strs[2] <= … <= strs[n - 1]). Return the minimum possible value of answer.length.

[LeetCode] Distribute Candies

575. Distribute Candies

Alice has n candies, where the ith candy is of type candyType[i]. Alice noticed that she started to gain weight, so she visited a doctor.

The doctor advised Alice to only eat n / 2 of the candies she has (n is always even). Alice likes her candies very much, and she wants to eat the maximum number of different types of candies while still following the doctor’s advice.

Given the integer array candyType of length n, return the maximum number of different types of candies she can eat if she only eats n / 2 of them.
