2935. Maximum Strong Pair XOR II

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums. A pair of integers x and y is called a strong pair if it satisfies the condition:

• |x - y| <= min(x, y)

You need to select two integers from nums such that they form a strong pair and their bitwise XOR is the maximum among all strong pairs in the array.

Return the maximum XOR value out of all possible strong pairs in the array nums.

Note that you can pick the same integer twice to form a pair.

2934. Minimum Operations to Maximize Last Elements in Arrays

You are given two 0-indexed integer arrays, nums1 and nums2, both having length n.

You are allowed to perform a series of operations (possibly none).

In an operation, you select an index i in the range [0, n - 1] and swap the values of nums1[i] and nums2[i].

Your task is to find the minimum number of operations required to satisfy the following conditions:

• nums1[n - 1] is equal to the maximum value among all elements of nums1, i.e., nums1[n - 1] = max(nums1[0], nums1[1], ..., nums1[n - 1]).
• nums2[n - 1] is equal to the maximum value among all elements of nums2, i.e., nums2[n - 1] = max(nums2[0], nums2[1], ..., nums2[n - 1]).

Return an integer denoting the minimum number of operations needed to meet both conditions, or -1 if it is impossible to satisfy both conditions.

2933. High-Access Employees

You are given a 2D 0-indexed array of strings, access_times, with size n. For each i where 0 <= i <= n - 1, access_times[i][0] represents the name of an employee, and access_times[i][1] represents the access time of that employee. All entries in access_times are within the same day.

The access time is represented as four digits using a 24-hour time format, for example, "0800" or "2250".

An employee is said to be high-access if he has accessed the system three or more times within a one-hour period.

Times with exactly one hour of difference are not considered part of the same one-hour period. For example, "0815" and "0915" are not part of the same one-hour period.

Access times at the start and end of the day are not counted within the same one-hour period. For example, "0005" and "2350" are not part of the same one-hour period.

Return a list that contains the names of high-access employees with any order you want.

2932. Maximum Strong Pair XOR I

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums. A pair of integers x and y is called a strong pair if it satisfies the condition:

• |x - y| <= min(x, y)

You need to select two integers from nums such that they form a strong pair and their bitwise XOR is the maximum among all strong pairs in the array.

Return the maximum XOR value out of all possible strong pairs in the array nums.

Note that you can pick the same integer twice to form a pair.

2930. Number of Strings Which Can Be Rearranged to Contain Substring

You are given a 0-indexed m * n integer matrix values, representing the values of m * n different items in m different shops. Each shop has n items where the jth item in the ith shop has a value of values[i][j]. Additionally, the items in the ith shop are sorted in non-increasing order of value. That is, values[i][j] >= values[i][j + 1] for all 0 <= j < n - 1.

On each day, you would like to buy a single item from one of the shops. Specifically, On the dth day you can:

• Pick any shop i.
• Buy the rightmost available item j for the price of values[i][j] * d. That is, find the greatest index j such that item j was never bought before, and buy it for the price of values[i][j] * d.

Note that all items are pairwise different. For example, if you have bought item 0 from shop 1, you can still buy item 0 from any other shop.

Return the maximum amount of money that can be spent on buying all m * n products.
