[LeetCode] Maximize the Topmost Element After K Moves

2202. Maximize the Topmost Element After K Moves

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums representing the contents of a pile, where nums[0] is the topmost element of the pile.

In one move, you can perform either of the following:

  • If the pile is not empty, remove the topmost element of the pile.
  • If there are one or more removed elements, add any one of them back onto the pile. This element becomes the new topmost element.

You are also given an integer k, which denotes the total number of moves to be made.

Return the maximum value of the topmost element of the pile possible after exactly k moves. In case it is not possible to obtain a non-empty pile after k moves, return -1.

[LeetCode] Minimum Weighted Subgraph With the Required Paths

2203. Minimum Weighted Subgraph With the Required Paths

You are given an integer n denoting the number of nodes of a weighted directed graph. The nodes are numbered from 0 to n - 1.

You are also given a 2D integer array edges where edges[i] = [fromi, toi, weighti] denotes that there exists a directed edge from fromi to toi with weight weighti.

Lastly, you are given three distinct integers src1, src2, and dest denoting three distinct nodes of the graph.

Return the minimum weight of a subgraph of the graph such that it is possible to reach dest from both src1 and src2 via a set of edges of this subgraph. In case such a subgraph does not exist, return -1.

A subgraph is a graph whose vertices and edges are subsets of the original graph. The weight of a subgraph is the sum of weights of its constituent edges.

[LeetCode] Longest ZigZag Path in a Binary Tree

1372. Longest ZigZag Path in a Binary Tree

You are given the root of a binary tree.

A ZigZag path for a binary tree is defined as follow:

  • Choose any node in the binary tree and a direction (right or left).
  • If the current direction is right, move to the right child of the current node; otherwise, move to the left child.
  • Change the direction from right to left or from left to right.
  • Repeat the second and third steps until you can’t move in the tree.

Zigzag length is defined as the number of nodes visited - 1. (A single node has a length of 0).

Return the longest ZigZag path contained in that tree.

[LeetCode] Find the City With the Smallest Number of Neighbors at a Threshold Distance

1334. Find the City With the Smallest Number of Neighbors at a Threshold Distance

There are n cities numbered from 0 to n-1. Given the array edges where edges[i] = [fromi, toi, weighti] represents a bidirectional and weighted edge between cities fromi and toi, and given the integer distanceThreshold.

Return the city with the smallest number of cities that are reachable through some path and whose distance is at most distanceThreshold, If there are multiple such cities, return the city with the greatest number.

Notice that the distance of a path connecting cities i and j is equal to the sum of the edges’ weights along that path.

[LeetCode] Longest Duplicate Substring

1044. Longest Duplicate Substring

Given a string s, consider all duplicated substrings: (contiguous) substrings of s that occur 2 or more times. The occurrences may overlap.

Return any duplicated substring that has the longest possible length. If s does not have a duplicated substring, the answer is “”.

[LeetCode] Height Checker

1051. Height Checker

A school is trying to take an annual photo of all the students. The students are asked to stand in a single file line in non-decreasing order by height. Let this ordering be represented by the integer array expected where expected[i] is the expected height of the ith student in line.

You are given an integer array heights representing the current order that the students are standing in. Each heights[i] is the height of the ith student in line (0-indexed).

Return the number of indices where heights[i] != expected[i].
