521. Longest Uncommon Subsequence I

Given two strings a and b, return the length of the longest uncommon subsequence between a and b. If the longest uncommon subsequence does not exist, return -1.

An uncommon subsequence between two strings is a string that is a subsequence of one but not the other.

A subsequence of a string s is a string that can be obtained after deleting any number of characters from s.

• For example, “abc” is a subsequence of “aebdc” because you can delete the underlined characters in “aebdc” to get “abc”. Other subsequences of “aebdc” include “aebdc”, “aeb”, and “” (empty string).

638. Shopping Offers

In LeetCode Store, there are n items to sell. Each item has a price. However, there are some special offers, and a special offer consists of one or more different kinds of items with a sale price.

You are given an integer array price where price[i] is the price of the ith item, and an integer array needs where needs[i] is the number of pieces of the ith item you want to buy.

You are also given an array special where special[i] is of size n + 1 where special[i][j] is the number of pieces of the jth item in the ith offer and special[i][n] (i.e., the last integer in the array) is the price of the ith offer.

Return the lowest price you have to pay for exactly certain items as given, where you could make optimal use of the special offers. You are not allowed to buy more items than you want, even if that would lower the overall price. You could use any of the special offers as many times as you want.

483. Smallest Good Base

Given an integer n represented as a string, return the smallest good base of n.

We call k >= 2 a good base of n, if all digits of n base k are 1’s.

401. Binary Watch

A binary watch has 4 LEDs on the top which represent the hours (0-11), and the 6 LEDs on the bottom represent the minutes (0-59). Each LED represents a zero or one, with the least significant bit on the right.

• For example, the below binary watch reads “4:51”.

Given an integer turnedOn which represents the number of LEDs that are currently on, return all possible times the watch could represent. You may return the answer in any order.

The hour must not contain a leading zero.

• For example, “01:00” is not valid. It should be “1:00”.

The minute must be consist of two digits and may contain a leading zero.

• For example, “10:2” is not valid. It should be “10:02”.

357. Count Numbers with Unique Digits

Given an integer n, return the count of all numbers with unique digits, x, where 0 <= x < 10n.

2289. Steps to Make Array Non-decreasing

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums. In one step, remove all elements nums[i] where nums[i - 1] > nums[i] for all 0 < i < nums.length.

Return the number of steps performed until nums becomes a non-decreasing array.

2290. Minimum Obstacle Removal to Reach Corner

You are given a 0-indexed 2D integer array grid of size m x n. Each cell has one of two values:

• 0 represents an empty cell,
• 1 represents an obstacle that may be removed.

You can move up, down, left, or right from and to an empty cell.

Return the minimum number of obstacles to remove so you can move from the upper left corner (0, 0) to the lower right corner (m - 1, n - 1).

2288. Apply Discount to Prices

A sentence is a string of single-space separated words where each word can contain digits, lowercase letters, and the dollar sign ‘$’. A word represents a price if it is a non-negative real number preceded by a dollar sign.

• For example, “$100”, “$23”, and “$6.75” represent prices while “100”, “$”, and “2$3” do not.

You are given a string sentence representing a sentence and an integer discount. For each word representing a price, apply a discount of discount% on the price and update the word in the sentence. All updated prices should be represented with exactly two decimal places.

Return a string representing the modified sentence.
