MAY-25 2020 Challenge

Uncrossed Lines

We write the integers of A and B (in the order they are given) on two separate horizontal lines.
Now, we may draw connecting lines: a straight line connecting two numbers A[i] and B[j] such that:
A[i] == B[j];
The line we draw does not intersect any other connecting (non-horizontal) line.
Note that a connecting lines cannot intersect even at the endpoints: each number can only belong to one connecting line.
Return the maximum number of connecting lines we can draw in this way.


Example 1:

Uncrossed Lines


Input: A = [1,4,2], B = [1,2,4]
Output: 2
Explanation: We can draw 2 uncrossed lines as in the diagram.
We cannot draw 3 uncrossed lines, because the line from A[1]=4 to B[2]=4 will intersect the line from A[2]=2 to B[1]=2.

Example 2:
Input: A = [2,5,1,2,5], B = [10,5,2,1,5,2]
Output: 3

Example 3:
Input: A = [1,3,7,1,7,5], B = [1,9,2,5,1]
Output: 2

Note:

1 <= A.length <= 500
1 <= B.length <= 500
1 <= A[i], B[i] <= 2000

Solution in Python :


class Solution(object):
    def maxUncrossedLines(self, A, B):
        """
        :type A: List[int]
        :type B: List[int]
        :rtype: int
        """
        memo={}
        la,lb=len(A),len(B)
        def helper(i,j):
            if i>=la or j>=lb:
                return 0
            if (i,j) in memo:
                return memo[i,j]
            if A[i]==B[j]:
                ans=1+helper(i+1,j+1)
            else:
                ans=max(helper(i+1,j),helper(i,j+1))
            memo[i,j]=ans
            return ans
        return helper(0,0)

Leetcode 371. Sum of Two Integers. C++ / Java

371 .  Sum of Two Integers   Given two integers  a  and  b , return  the sum of the two integers without using the operators   +   and   - .   Example 1: Input: a = 1, b = 2 Output: 3 Example 2: Input: a = 2, b = 3 Output: 5   Constraints: -1000 <= a, b <= 1000 Solution :  C++ : class Solution { public: int getSum(int a, int b) { if (b==0) return a; int sum = a ^ b; int cr = (unsigned int) (a & b) << 1; return getSum(sum, cr); } }; Java :  class Solution { public int getSum(int a, int b) { while(b != 0){ int tmp = (a & b) << 1; a = a ^ b; b = tmp; } return a; } } Explaination :

Leetcode 424. Longest Repeating Character Replacement. Python (Sliding Window)

  424 .  Longest Repeating Character Replacement You are given a string  s  and an integer  k . You can choose any character of the string and change it to any other uppercase English character. You can perform this operation at most  k  times. Return  the length of the longest substring containing the same letter you can get after performing the above operations .   Example 1: Input: s = "ABAB", k = 2 Output: 4 Explanation: Replace the two 'A's with two 'B's or vice versa. Example 2: Input: s = "AABABBA", k = 1 Output: 4 Explanation: Replace the one 'A' in the middle with 'B' and form "AABBBBA". The substring "BBBB" has the longest repeating letters, which is 4.   Constraints: 1 <= s.length <= 10 5 s  consists of only uppercase English letters. 0 <= k <= s.length Solution :  class Solution: def characterReplacement(self, s: str, k: int) -> int: hm = {} ans = 0 ...

Leetcode 347. Top K Frequent Elements. Python (Bubble Sort)

Top K Frequent Elements Given an integer array  nums  and an integer  k , return  the   k   most frequent elements . You may return the answer in  any order .   Example 1: Input: nums = [1,1,1,2,2,3], k = 2 Output: [1,2] Example 2: Input: nums = [1], k = 1 Output: [1]   Constraints: 1 <= nums.length <= 10 5 -10 4  <= nums[i] <= 10 4 k  is in the range  [1, the number of unique elements in the array] . It is  guaranteed  that the answer is  unique .   Follow up:  Your algorithm's time complexity must be better than  O(n log n) , where n is the array's size. Solution : class Solution:     def topKFrequent(self, n: List[int], k: int) -> List[int]:                  # [1,1,1,2,2,3] &  k = 2                  f = [[] for i in range(len(n) + 1)]         # f = [...
