[LeetCode] Permutation in String

567. Permutation in String

Given two strings s1 and s2, return true if s2 contains a permutation of s1, or false otherwise.

In other words, return true if one of s1’s permutations is the substring of s2.

[LeetCode] Best Team With No Conflicts

1626. Best Team With No Conflicts

You are the manager of a basketball team. For the upcoming tournament, you want to choose the team with the highest overall score. The score of the team is the sum of scores of all the players in the team.

However, the basketball team is not allowed to have conflicts. A conflict exists if a younger player has a strictly higher score than an older player. A conflict does not occur between players of the same age.

Given two lists, scores and ages, where each scores[i] and ages[i] represents the score and age of the ith player, respectively, return the highest overall score of all possible basketball teams.

[LeetCode] Course Schedule IV

1462. Course Schedule IV

There are a total of numCourses courses you have to take, labeled from 0 to numCourses - 1. You are given an array prerequisites where prerequisites[i] = [ai, bi] indicates that you must take course ai first if you want to take course bi.

  • For example, the pair [0, 1] indicates that you have to take course 0 before you can take course 1.

Prerequisites can also be indirect. If course a is a prerequisite of course b, and course b is a prerequisite of course c, then course a is a prerequisite of course c.

You are also given an array queries where queries[j] = [uj, vj]. For the jth query, you should answer whether course uj is a prerequisite of course vj or not.

Return a boolean array answer, where answer[j] is the answer to the jth query.

[LeetCode] Check if Word Can Be Placed In Crossword

2018. Check if Word Can Be Placed In Crossword

You are given an m x n matrix board, representing the current state of a crossword puzzle. The crossword contains lowercase English letters (from solved words), ‘ ‘ to represent any empty cells, and ‘#’ to represent any blocked cells.

A word can be placed horizontally (left to right or right to left) or vertically (top to bottom or bottom to top) in the board if:

  • It does not occupy a cell containing the character ‘#’.
  • The cell each letter is placed in must either be ‘ ‘ (empty) or match the letter already on the board.
  • There must not be any empty cells ‘ ‘ or other lowercase letters directly left or right of the word if the word was placed horizontally.
  • There must not be any empty cells ‘ ‘ or other lowercase letters directly above or below the word if the word was placed vertically.

Given a string word, return true if word can be placed in board, or false otherwise.

[LeetCode] Minimum Falling Path Sum II

1289. Minimum Falling Path Sum II

Given an n x n integer matrix grid, return the minimum sum of a falling path with non-zero shifts.

A falling path with non-zero shifts is a choice of exactly one element from each row of grid such that no two elements chosen in adjacent rows are in the same column.

[LeetCode] Palindrome Partitioning III

1278. Palindrome Partitioning III

You are given a string s containing lowercase letters and an integer k. You need to :

  • First, change some characters of s to other lowercase English letters.
  • Then divide s into k non-empty disjoint substrings such that each substring is a palindrome.

Return the minimal number of characters that you need to change to divide the string.

[LeetCode] Jump Game V

1340. Jump Game V

Given an array of integers arr and an integer d. In one step you can jump from index i to index:

  • i + x where: i + x < arr.length and 0 < x <= d.
  • i - x where: i - x >= 0 and 0 < x <= d.

In addition, you can only jump from index i to index j if arr[i] > arr[j] and arr[i] > arr[k] for all indices k between i and j (More formally min(i, j) < k < max(i, j)).

You can choose any index of the array and start jumping. Return the maximum number of indices you can visit.

Notice that you can not jump outside of the array at any time.

[LeetCode] Similar String Groups

839. Similar String Groups

Two strings X and Y are similar if we can swap two letters (in different positions) of X, so that it equals Y. Also two strings X and Y are similar if they are equal.

For example, “tars” and “rats” are similar (swapping at positions 0 and 2), and “rats” and “arts” are similar, but “star” is not similar to “tars”, “rats”, or “arts”.

Together, these form two connected groups by similarity: {“tars”, “rats”, “arts”} and {“star”}. Notice that “tars” and “arts” are in the same group even though they are not similar. Formally, each group is such that a word is in the group if and only if it is similar to at least one other word in the group.

We are given a list strs of strings where every string in strs is an anagram of every other string in strs. How many groups are there?

[LeetCode] Groups of Strings

2157. Groups of Strings

You are given a 0-indexed array of strings words. Each string consists of lowercase English letters only. No letter occurs more than once in any string of words.

Two strings s1 and s2 are said to be connected if the set of letters of s2 can be obtained from the set of letters of s1 by any one of the following operations:

  • Adding exactly one letter to the set of the letters of s1.
  • Deleting exactly one letter from the set of the letters of s1.
  • Replacing exactly one letter from the set of the letters of s1 with any letter, including itself.

The array words can be divided into one or more non-intersecting groups. A string belongs to a group if any one of the following is true:

  • It is connected to at least one other string of the group.
  • It is the only string present in the group.

Note that the strings in words should be grouped in such a manner that a string belonging to a group cannot be connected to a string present in any other group. It can be proved that such an arrangement is always unique.

Return an array ans of size 2 where:

  • ans[0] is the maximum number of groups words can be divided into, and
  • ans[1] is the size of the largest group.

[LeetCode] K Radius Subarray Averages

2090. K Radius Subarray Averages

You are given a 0-indexed array nums of n integers, and an integer k.

The k-radius average for a subarray of nums centered at some index i with the radius k is the average of all elements in nums between the indices i - k and i + k (inclusive). If there are less than k elements before or after the index i, then the k-radius average is -1.

Build and return an array avgs of length n where avgs[i] is the k-radius average for the subarray centered at index i.

The average of x elements is the sum of the x elements divided by x, using integer division. The integer division truncates toward zero, which means losing its fractional part.

  • For example, the average of four elements 2, 3, 1, and 5 is (2 + 3 + 1 + 5) / 4 = 11 / 4 = 2.75, which truncates to 2.
