679. 24 Game

You are given an integer array cards of length 4. You have four cards, each containing a number in the range [1, 9]. You should arrange the numbers on these cards in a mathematical expression using the operators [‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘*’, ‘/‘] and the parentheses ‘(‘ and ‘)’ to get the value 24.

You are restricted with the following rules:

• The division operator ‘/‘ represents real division, not integer division.

• For example, 4 / (1 - 2 / 3) = 4 / (1 / 3) = 12.

• Every operation done is between two numbers. In particular, we cannot use ‘-‘ as a unary operator.

• For example, if cards = [1, 1, 1, 1], the expression “-1 - 1 - 1 - 1” is not allowed.

• You cannot concatenate numbers together

• For example, if cards = [1, 2, 1, 2], the expression “12 + 12” is not valid.

Return true if you can get such expression that evaluates to 24, and false otherwise.

1657. Determine if Two Strings Are Close

Two strings are considered close if you can attain one from the other using the following operations:

• Operation 1: Swap any two existing characters.

• For example, abcde -> aecdb

• Operation 2: Transform every occurrence of one existing character into another existing character, and do the same with the other character.

• For example, aacabb -> bbcbaa (all a’s turn into b’s, and all b’s turn into a’s)
  You can use the operations on either string as many times as necessary.

Given two strings, word1 and word2, return true if word1 and word2 are close, and false otherwise.

2039. The Time When the Network Becomes Idle

There is a network of n servers, labeled from 0 to n - 1. You are given a 2D integer array edges, where edges[i] = [ui, vi] indicates there is a message channel between servers ui and vi, and they can pass any number of messages to each other directly in one second. You are also given a 0-indexed integer array patience of length n.

All servers are connected, i.e., a message can be passed from one server to any other server(s) directly or indirectly through the message channels.

The server labeled 0 is the master server. The rest are data servers. Each data server needs to send its message to the master server for processing and wait for a reply. Messages move between servers optimally, so every message takes the least amount of time to arrive at the master server. The master server will process all newly arrived messages instantly and send a reply to the originating server via the reversed path the message had gone through.

At the beginning of second 0, each data server sends its message to be processed. Starting from second 1, at the beginning of every second, each data server will check if it has received a reply to the message it sent (including any newly arrived replies) from the master server:

• If it has not, it will resend the message periodically. The data server i will resend the message every patience[i] second(s), i.e., the data server i will resend the message if patience[i] second(s) have elapsed since the last time the message was sent from this server.

• Otherwise, no more resending will occur from this server.
  The network becomes idle when there are no messages passing between servers or arriving at servers.

Return the earliest second starting from which the network becomes idle.

429. N-ary Tree Level Order Traversal

Given an n-ary tree, return the level order traversal of its nodes’ values.

Nary-Tree input serialization is represented in their level order traversal, each group of children is separated by the null value (See examples).

Longest Subsequence Palindrome

1312. Minimum Insertion Steps to Make a String Palindrome

Given a string s. In one step you can insert any character at any index of the string.

Return the minimum number of steps to make s palindrome.

A Palindrome String is one that reads the same backward as well as forward.

1498. Number of Subsequences That Satisfy the Given Sum Condition

You are given an array of integers nums and an integer target.

Return the number of non-empty subsequences of nums such that the sum of the minimum and maximum element on it is less or equal to target. Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo 1e9 + 7.

2101. Detonate the Maximum Bombs

You are given a list of bombs. The range of a bomb is defined as the area where its effect can be felt. This area is in the shape of a circle with the center as the location of the bomb.

The bombs are represented by a 0-indexed 2D integer array bombs where bombs[i] = [xi, yi, ri]. xi and yi denote the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate of the location of the ith bomb, whereas ri denotes the radius of its range.

You may choose to detonate a single bomb. When a bomb is detonated, it will detonate all bombs that lie in its range. These bombs will further detonate the bombs that lie in their ranges.

Given the list of bombs, return the maximum number of bombs that can be detonated if you are allowed to detonate only one bomb.

398. Random Pick Index

Given an integer array nums with possible duplicates, randomly output the index of a given target number. You can assume that the given target number must exist in the array.

Implement the Solution class:

• Solution(int[] nums) Initializes the object with the array nums.
• int pick(int target) Picks a random index i from nums where nums[i] == target. If there are multiple valid i’s, then each index should have an equal probability of returning.

497. Random Point in Non-overlapping Rectangles

You are given an array of non-overlapping axis-aligned rectangles rects where rects[i] = [ai, bi, xi, yi] indicates that (ai, bi) is the bottom-left corner point of the ith rectangle and (xi, yi) is the top-right corner point of the ith rectangle. Design an algorithm to pick a random integer point inside the space covered by one of the given rectangles. A point on the perimeter of a rectangle is included in the space covered by the rectangle.

Any integer point inside the space covered by one of the given rectangles should be equally likely to be returned.

Note that an integer point is a point that has integer coordinates.

Implement the Solution class:

• Solution(int[][] rects) Initializes the object with the given rectangles rects.
• int[] pick() Returns a random integer point [u, v] inside the space covered by one of the given rectangles.
