[LeetCode] Stone Game VIII

1872. Stone Game VIII

Alice and Bob take turns playing a game, with Alice starting first.

There are n stones arranged in a row. On each player’s turn, while the number of stones is more than one, they will do the following:

  1. Choose an integer x > 1, and remove the leftmost x stones from the row.
  2. Add the sum of the removed stones’ values to the player’s score.
  3. Place a new stone, whose value is equal to that sum, on the left side of the row.

The game stops when only one stone is left in the row.

The score difference between Alice and Bob is (Alice’s score - Bob’s score). Alice’s goal is to maximize the score difference, and Bob’s goal is the minimize the score difference.

Given an integer array stones of length n where stones[i] represents the value of the ith stone from the left, return the score difference between Alice and Bob if they both play optimally.

[LeetCode] Rotate Image

48. Rotate Image

You are given an n x n 2D matrix representing an image, rotate the image by 90 degrees (clockwise).

You have to rotate the image in-place, which means you have to modify the input 2D matrix directly. DO NOT allocate another 2D matrix and do the rotation.

[LeetCode] Dot Product of Two Sparse Vectors

1570. Dot Product of Two Sparse Vectors

Given two sparse vectors, compute their dot product.

Implement class SparseVector:

  • SparseVector(nums) Initializes the object with the vector nums
  • dotProduct(vec) Compute the dot product between the instance of SparseVector and vec

A sparse vector is a vector that has mostly zero values, you should store the sparse vector efficiently and compute the dot product between two SparseVector.

Follow up: What if only one of the vectors is sparse?

[LeetCode] Interval List Intersections

986. Interval List Intersections

You are given two lists of closed intervals, firstList and secondList, where firstList[i] = [starti, endi] and secondList[j] = [startj, endj]. Each list of intervals is pairwise disjoint and in sorted order.

Return the intersection of these two interval lists.

A closed interval [a, b] (with a < b) denotes the set of real numbers x with a <= x <= b.

The intersection of two closed intervals is a set of real numbers that are either empty or represented as a closed interval. For example, the intersection of [1, 3] and [2, 4] is [2, 3].

[LeetCode] Exclusive Time of Functions

636. Exclusive Time of Functions

On a single-threaded CPU, we execute a program containing n functions. Each function has a unique ID between 0 and n-1.

Function calls are stored in a call stack: when a function call starts, its ID is pushed onto the stack, and when a function call ends, its ID is popped off the stack. The function whose ID is at the top of the stack is the current function being executed. Each time a function starts or ends, we write a log with the ID, whether it started or ended, and the timestamp.

You are given a list logs, where logs[i] represents the ith log message formatted as a string “{function_id}:{“start” | “end”}:{timestamp}”. For example, “0:start:3” means a function call with function ID 0 started at the beginning of timestamp 3, and “1:end:2” means a function call with function ID 1 ended at the end of timestamp 2. Note that a function can be called multiple times, possibly recursively.

A function’s exclusive time is the sum of execution times for all function calls in the program. For example, if a function is called twice, one call executing for 2 time units and another call executing for 1 time unit, the exclusive time is 2 + 1 = 3.

Return the exclusive time of each function in an array, where the value at the ith index represents the exclusive time for the function with ID i.

[LeetCode] Gas Station

134. Gas Station

There are n gas stations along a circular route, where the amount of gas at the ith station is gas[i].

You have a car with an unlimited gas tank and it costs cost[i] of gas to travel from the ith station to its next (i + 1)th station. You begin the journey with an empty tank at one of the gas stations.

Given two integer arrays gas and cost, return the starting gas station’s index if you can travel around the circuit once in the clockwise direction, otherwise return -1. If there exists a solution, it is guaranteed to be unique
