[LeetCode] Cherry Pickup

741. Cherry Pickup

You are given an n x n grid representing a field of cherries, each cell is one of three possible integers.

  • 0 means the cell is empty, so you can pass through,
  • 1 means the cell contains a cherry that you can pick up and pass through, or
  • -1 means the cell contains a thorn that blocks your way.

Return the maximum number of cherries you can collect by following the rules below:

  • Starting at the position (0, 0) and reaching (n - 1, n - 1) by moving right or down through valid path cells (cells with value 0 or 1).
  • After reaching (n - 1, n - 1), returning to (0, 0) by moving left or up through valid path cells.
  • When passing through a path cell containing a cherry, you pick it up, and the cell becomes an empty cell 0.
  • If there is no valid path between (0, 0) and (n - 1, n - 1), then no cherries can be collected.

[LeetCode] Shortest Common Supersequence

1092. Shortest Common Supersequence

Given two strings str1 and str2, return the shortest string that has both str1 and str2 as subsequences. If there are multiple valid strings, return any of them.

A string s is a subsequence of string t if deleting some number of characters from t (possibly 0) results in the string s.

[LeetCode] Find Eventual Safe States

802. Find Eventual Safe States

There is a directed graph of n nodes with each node labeled from 0 to n - 1. The graph is represented by a 0-indexed 2D integer array graph where graph[i] is an integer array of nodes adjacent to node i, meaning there is an edge from node i to each node in graph[i].

A node is a terminal node if there are no outgoing edges. A node is a safe node if every possible path starting from that node leads to a terminal node.

Return an array containing all the safe nodes of the graph. The answer should be sorted in ascending order.

[LeetCode] Arithmetic Subarrays

1630. Arithmetic Subarrays

A sequence of numbers is called arithmetic if it consists of at least two elements, and the difference between every two consecutive elements is the same. More formally, a sequence s is arithmetic if and only if s[i+1] - s[i] == s[1] - s[0] for all valid i.

For example, these are arithmetic sequences:

plaintext
1
2
3
1, 3, 5, 7, 9
7, 7, 7, 7
3, -1, -5, -9

The following sequence is not arithmetic:

plaintext
1
1, 1, 2, 5, 7

You are given an array of n integers, nums, and two arrays of m integers each, l and r, representing the m range queries, where the ith query is the range [l[i], r[i]]. All the arrays are 0-indexed.

Return a list of boolean elements answer, where answer[i] is true if the subarray nums[l[i]], nums[l[i]+1], … , nums[r[i]] can be rearranged to form an arithmetic sequence, and false otherwise.

[LeetCode] Find Palindrome With Fixed Length

2217. Find Palindrome With Fixed Length

Given an integer array queries and a positive integer intLength, return an array answer where answer[i] is either the queries[i]th smallest positive palindrome of length intLength or -1 if no such palindrome exists.

A palindrome is a number that reads the same backwards and forwards. Palindromes cannot have leading zeros.

[LeetCode] Maximum Value of K Coins From Piles

2218. Maximum Value of K Coins From Piles

There are n piles of coins on a table. Each pile consists of a positive number of coins of assorted denominations.

In one move, you can choose any coin on top of any pile, remove it, and add it to your wallet.

Given a list piles, where piles[i] is a list of integers denoting the composition of the ith pile from top to bottom, and a positive integer k, return the maximum total value of coins you can have in your wallet if you choose exactly k coins optimally.

[LeetCode] Maximum Number of Accepted Invitations

1820. Maximum Number of Accepted Invitations

There are m boys and n girls in a class attending an upcoming party.

You are given an m x n integer matrix grid, where grid[i][j] equals 0 or 1. If grid[i][j] == 1, then that means the ith boy can invite the jth girl to the party. A boy can invite at most one girl, and a girl can accept at most one invitation from a boy.

Return the maximum possible number of accepted invitations.
