997. Find the Town Judge

In a town, there are n people labeled from 1 to n. There is a rumor that one of these people is secretly the town judge.

If the town judge exists, then:

1. The town judge trusts nobody.
2. Everybody (except for the town judge) trusts the town judge.
3. There is exactly one person that satisfies properties 1 and 2.

You are given an array trust where trust[i] = [ai, bi] representing that the person labeled ai trusts the person labeled bi.

Return the label of the town judge if the town judge exists and can be identified, or return -1 otherwise.

1150. Check If a Number Is Majority Element in a Sorted Array

Given an integer array nums sorted in non-decreasing order and an integer target, return true if target is a majority element, or false otherwise.

A majority element in an array nums is an element that appears more than nums.length / 2 times in the array.

680. Valid Palindrome II

Given a string s, return true if the s can be palindrome after deleting at most one character from it.

164. Maximum Gap

Given an integer array nums, return the maximum difference between two successive elements in its sorted form. If the array contains less than two elements, return 0.

You must write an algorithm that runs in linear time and uses linear extra space.

60. Permutation Sequence

The set [1, 2, 3, …, n] contains a total of n! unique permutations.

By listing and labeling all of the permutations in order, we get the following sequence for n = 3:

1. “123”
2. “132”
3. “213”
4. “231”
5. “312”
6. “321”

Given n and k, return the kth permutation sequence.

1649. Create Sorted Array through Instructions

Given an integer array instructions, you are asked to create a sorted array from the elements in instructions. You start with an empty container nums. For each element from left to right in instructions, insert it into nums. The cost of each insertion is the minimum of the following:

• The number of elements currently in nums that are strictly less than instructions[i].
• The number of elements currently in nums that are strictly greater than instructions[i].

For example, if inserting element 3 into nums = [1,2,3,5], the cost of insertion is min(2, 1) (elements 1 and 2 are less than 3, element 5 is greater than 3) and nums will become [1,2,3,3,5].

Return the total cost to insert all elements from instructions into nums. Since the answer may be large, return it modulo 109 + 7
