2472. Maximum Number of Non-overlapping Palindrome Substrings

You are given a string s and a positive integer k.

Select a set of non-overlapping substrings from the string s that satisfy the following conditions:

• The length of each substring is at least k.
• Each substring is a palindrome.

Return the maximum number of substrings in an optimal selection.

A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.

2471. Minimum Number of Operations to Sort a Binary Tree by Level

You are given the root of a binary tree with unique values.

In one operation, you can choose any two nodes at the same level and swap their values.

Return the minimum number of operations needed to make the values at each level sorted in a strictly increasing order.

The level of a node is the number of edges along the path between it and the root node.

2470. Number of Subarrays With LCM Equal to K

Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the number of subarrays of nums where the least common multiple of the subarray’s elements is k.

A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

The least common multiple of an array is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by all the array elements.

2469. Convert the Temperature

You are given a non-negative floating point number rounded to two decimal places celsius, that denotes the temperature in Celsius.

You should convert Celsius into Kelvin and Fahrenheit and return it as an array ans = [kelvin, fahrenheit].

Return the array ans. Answers within 10-5 of the actual answer will be accepted.

Note that:

• Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
• Fahrenheit = Celsius * 1.80 + 32.00

2468. Split Message Based on Limit

You are given a string, message, and a positive integer, limit.

You must split message into one or more parts based on limit. Each resulting part should have the suffix ““, where “b” is to be replaced with the total number of parts and “a” is to be replaced with the index of the part, starting from 1 and going up to b. Additionally, the length of each resulting part (including its suffix) should be equal to limit, except for the last part whose length can be at most limit.

The resulting parts should be formed such that when their suffixes are removed and they are all concatenated in order, they should be equal to message. Also, the result should contain as few parts as possible.

Return the parts message would be split into as an array of strings. If it is impossible to split message as required, return an empty array.

2467. Most Profitable Path in a Tree

There is an undirected tree with n nodes labeled from 0 to n - 1, rooted at node 0. You are given a 2D integer array edges of length n - 1 where edges[i] = [ai, bi] indicates that there is an edge between nodes ai and bi in the tree.

At every node i, there is a gate. You are also given an array of even integers amount, where amount[i] represents:

• the price needed to open the gate at node i, if amount[i] is negative, or,
• the cash reward obtained on opening the gate at node i, otherwise.

The game goes on as follows:

• Initially, Alice is at node 0 and Bob is at node bob.
• At every second, Alice and Bob each move to an adjacent node. Alice moves towards some leaf node, while Bob moves towards node 0.
• For every node along their path, Alice and Bob either spend money to open the gate at that node, or accept the reward. Note that:

• If the gate is already open, no price will be required, nor will there be any cash reward.
• If Alice and Bob reach the node simultaneously, they share the price/reward for opening the gate there. In other words, if the price to open the gate is c, then both Alice and Bob pay c / 2 each. Similarly, if the reward at the gate is c, both of them receive c / 2 each.

• If Alice reaches a leaf node, she stops moving. Similarly, if Bob reaches node 0, he stops moving. Note that these events are independent of each other.

Return the maximum net income Alice can have if she travels towards the optimal leaf node.

2466. Count Ways To Build Good Strings

Given the integers zero, one, low, and high, we can construct a string by starting with an empty string, and then at each step perform either of the following:

• Append the character ‘0’ zero times.
• Append the character ‘1’ one times.

This can be performed any number of times.

A good string is a string constructed by the above process having a length between low and high (inclusive).

Return the number of different good strings that can be constructed satisfying these properties. Since the answer can be large, return it modulo 109 + 7.

2465. Number of Distinct Averages

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums of even length.

As long as nums is not empty, you must repetitively:

• Find the minimum number in nums and remove it.
• Find the maximum number in nums and remove it.
• Calculate the average of the two removed numbers.

The average of two numbers a and b is (a + b) / 2.

• For example, the average of 2 and 3 is (2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5.

Return the number of distinct averages calculated using the above process.

Note that when there is a tie for a minimum or maximum number, any can be removed.
