2663. Lexicographically Smallest Beautiful String

A string is beautiful if:

• It consists of the first k letters of the English lowercase alphabet.
• It does not contain any substring of length 2 or more which is a palindrome.

You are given a beautiful string s of length n and a positive integer k.

Return the lexicographically smallest string of length n, which is larger than s and is beautiful. If there is no such string, return an empty string.

A string a is lexicographically larger than a string b (of the same length) if in the first position where a and b differ, a has a character strictly larger than the corresponding character in b.

• For example, "abcd" is lexicographically larger than "abcc" because the first position they differ is at the fourth character, and d is greater than c.

2662. Minimum Cost of a Path With Special Roads

You are given an array start where start = [startX, startY] represents your initial position (startX, startY) in a 2D space. You are also given the array target where target = [targetX, targetY] represents your target position (targetX, targetY).

The cost of going from a position (x1, y1) to any other position in the space (x2, y2) is |x2 - x1| + |y2 - y1|.

There are also some special roads. You are given a 2D array specialRoads where specialRoads[i] = [x1i, y1i, x2i, y2i, costi] indicates that the ith special road can take you from (x1i, y1i) to (x2i, y2i) with a cost equal to costi. You can use each special road any number of times.

Return the minimum cost required to go from (startX, startY) to (targetX, targetY).

2661. First Completely Painted Row or Column

You are given a 0-indexed integer array arr, and an m x n integer matrix mat. arr and mat both contain all the integers in the range [1, m * n].

Go through each index i in arr starting from index 0 and paint the cell in mat containing the integer arr[i].

Return the smallest index i at which either a row or a column will be completely painted in mat.

2660. Determine the Winner of a Bowling Game

You are given two 0-indexed integer arrays player1 and player2, that represent the number of pins that player 1 and player 2 hit in a bowling game, respectively.

The bowling game consists of n turns, and the number of pins in each turn is exactly 10.

Assume a player hit xi pins in the ith turn. The value of the ith turn for the player is:

• 2xi if the player hit 10 pins in any of the previous two turns.
• Otherwise, It is xi.

The score of the player is the sum of the values of their n turns.

Return

• 1 if the score of player 1 is more than the score of player 2,
• 2 if the score of player 2 is more than the score of player 1, and
• 0 in case of a draw.

2659. Make Array Empty

You are given an integer array nums containing distinct numbers, and you can perform the following operations until the array is empty:

• If the first element has the smallest value, remove it
• Otherwise, put the first element at the end of the array.

Return an integer denoting the number of operations it takes to make nums empty.

2658. Maximum Number of Fish in a Grid

You are given a 0-indexed 2D matrix grid of size m x n, where (r, c) represents:

• A land cell if grid[r][c] = 0, or
• A water cell containing grid[r][c] fish, if grid[r][c] > 0.

A fisher can start at any water cell (r, c) and can do the following operations any number of times:

• Catch all the fish at cell (r, c), or
• Move to any adjacent water cell.

Return the maximum number of fish the fisher can catch if he chooses his starting cell optimally, or 0 if no water cell exists.

An adjacent cell of the cell (r, c), is one of the cells (r, c + 1), (r, c - 1), (r + 1, c) or (r - 1, c) if it exists.

2657. Find the Prefix Common Array of Two Arrays

You are given two 0-indexed integer permutations A and B of length n.

A prefix common array of A and B is an array C such that C[i] is equal to the count of numbers that are present at or before the index i in both A and B.

Return the prefix common array of A and B.

A sequence of n integers is called a permutation if it contains all integers from 1 to n exactly once.
