[LeetCode] Maximum Total Beauty of the Gardens

2234. Maximum Total Beauty of the Gardens

Alice is a caretaker of n gardens and she wants to plant flowers to maximize the total beauty of all her gardens.

You are given a 0-indexed integer array flowers of size n, where flowers[i] is the number of flowers already planted in the ith garden. Flowers that are already planted cannot be removed. You are then given another integer newFlowers, which is the maximum number of flowers that Alice can additionally plant. You are also given the integers target, full, and partial.

A garden is considered complete if it has at least target flowers. The total beauty of the gardens is then determined as the sum of the following:

  • The number of complete gardens multiplied by full.
  • The minimum number of flowers in any of the incomplete gardens multiplied by partial. If there are no incomplete gardens, then this value will be 0.

Return the maximum total beauty that Alice can obtain after planting at most newFlowers flowers.

[LeetCode] Minimum Number of Removals to Make Mountain Array

1671. Minimum Number of Removals to Make Mountain Array

You may recall that an array arr is a mountain array if and only if:

  • arr.length >= 3
  • There exists some index i (0-indexed) with 0 < i < arr.length - 1 such that:
  • arr[0] < arr[1] < … < arr[i - 1] < arr[i]
  • arr[i] > arr[i + 1] > … > arr[arr.length - 1]

Given an integer array nums​​​, return the minimum number of elements to remove to make nums​​​ a mountain array.

[LeetCode] Baseball Game

682. Baseball Game

You are keeping score for a baseball game with strange rules. The game consists of several rounds, where the scores of past rounds may affect future rounds’ scores.

At the beginning of the game, you start with an empty record. You are given a list of strings ops, where ops[i] is the ith operation you must apply to the record and is one of the following:

  1. An integer x - Record a new score of x.
  2. “+” - Record a new score that is the sum of the previous two scores. It is guaranteed there will always be two previous scores.
  3. “D” - Record a new score that is double the previous score. It is guaranteed there will always be a previous score.
  4. “C” - Invalidate the previous score, removing it from the record. It is guaranteed there will always be a previous score.

Return the sum of all the scores on the record.

[LeetCode] K-th Smallest Prime Fraction

786. K-th Smallest Prime Fraction

You are given a sorted integer array arr containing 1 and prime numbers, where all the integers of arr are unique. You are also given an integer k.

For every i and j where 0 <= i < j < arr.length, we consider the fraction arr[i] / arr[j].

Return the kth smallest fraction considered. Return your answer as an array of integers of size 2, where answer[0] == arr[i] and answer[1] == arr[j].

[LeetCode] Linked List Cycle II

142. Linked List Cycle II

Given the head of a linked list, return the node where the cycle begins. If there is no cycle, return null.

There is a cycle in a linked list if there is some node in the list that can be reached again by continuously following the next pointer. Internally, pos is used to denote the index of the node that tail’s next pointer is connected to (0-indexed). It is -1 if there is no cycle. Note that pos is not passed as a parameter.

Do not modify the linked list.

[LeetCode] Design Circular Queue

622. Design Circular Queue

Design your implementation of the circular queue. The circular queue is a linear data structure in which the operations are performed based on FIFO (First In First Out) principle and the last position is connected back to the first position to make a circle. It is also called “Ring Buffer”.

One of the benefits of the circular queue is that we can make use of the spaces in front of the queue. In a normal queue, once the queue becomes full, we cannot insert the next element even if there is a space in front of the queue. But using the circular queue, we can use the space to store new values.

Implementation the MyCircularQueue class:

  • MyCircularQueue(k) Initializes the object with the size of the queue to be k.
  • int Front() Gets the front item from the queue. If the queue is empty, return -1.
  • int Rear() Gets the last item from the queue. If the queue is empty, return -1.
  • boolean enQueue(int value) Inserts an element into the circular queue. Return true if the operation is successful.
  • boolean deQueue() Deletes an element from the circular queue. Return true if the operation is successful.
  • boolean isEmpty() Checks whether the circular queue is empty or not.
  • boolean isFull() Checks whether the circular queue is full or not.

You must solve the problem without using the built-in queue data structure in your programming language.
