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:

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 217. Contains Duplicate. Python (Easiest Approach ✅)

217 . Contains Duplicate Given an integer array nums , return true if any value appears at least twice in the array, and return false if every element is distinct. Example 1: Input: nums = [1,2,3,1] Output: true Example 2: Input: nums = [1,2,3,4] Output: false Example 3: Input: nums = [1,1,1,3,3,4,3,2,4,2] Output: true Constraints: 1 <= nums.length <= 10 5 -10 9 <= nums[i] <= 10 9 class Solution: def containsDuplicate(self, nums: List[int]) -> bool: hs = set() for n in nums: if n in hs: return True hs.add(n) return False Explaination :

Leetcode 322. Coin Change. Python (Greedy? vs DP?)

322 . Coin Change You are given an integer array coins representing coins of different denominations and an integer amount representing a total amount of money. Return the fewest number of coins that you need to make up that amount . If that amount of money cannot be made up by any combination of the coins, return -1 . You may assume that you have an infinite number of each kind of coin. Example 1: Input: coins = [1,2,5], amount = 11 Output: 3 Explanation: 11 = 5 + 5 + 1 Example 2: Input: coins = [2], amount = 3 Output: -1 Example 3: Input: coins = [1], amount = 0 Output: 0 Constraints: 1 <= coins.length <= 12 1 <= coins[i] <= 2 31 - 1 0 <= amount <= 10 4 Solution : class Solution: def coinChange(self, coins: List[int], amount: int) -> int: dp = [amount + 1] * (amount + 1) #[0...7] dp[0] = 0 ...
