Course Schedule


There are a total of numCourses courses you have to take, labeled from 0 to numCourses-1.

Some courses may have prerequisites, for example to take course 0 you have to first take course 1, which is expressed as a pair: [0,1]

Given the total number of courses and a list of prerequisite pairs, is it possible for you to finish all courses?


Example 1:
Input: numCourses = 2, prerequisites = [[1,0]]
Output: true
Explanation: There are a total of 2 courses to take. 
             To take course 1 you should have finished course 0. So it is possible.
Example 2:
Input: numCourses = 2, prerequisites = [[1,0],[0,1]]
Output: false
Explanation: There are a total of 2 courses to take. 
             To take course 1 you should have finished course 0, and to take course 0 you should
             also have finished course 1. So it is impossible.

Constraints:


The input prerequisites is a graph represented by a list of edges, not adjacency matrices. Read more about how a graph is represented.
You may assume that there are no duplicate edges in the input prerequisites.
1 <= numCourses <= 10^5


Solution in jAvA:



class Solution {
    public boolean canFinish(int numCourses, int[][] prerequisites) {
        if (numCourses <= 0) {
            return true;
        }
        
        if (prerequisites == null || prerequisites.length == 0) {
            return true;
        }
        
        // First transform the edge list to adj. list
        Map<Integer, List<Integer>> adjList = new HashMap<>();
        for (int[] edge : prerequisites) {
            if (adjList.containsKey(edge[0])) {
                List<Integer> neighbors = adjList.get(edge[0]);
                neighbors.add(edge[1]);
                adjList.put(edge[0], neighbors);
            } else {
                List<Integer> neighbors = new ArrayList<Integer>();
                neighbors.add(edge[1]);
                adjList.put(edge[0], neighbors);
            }
        }
        
        int[] visited = new int[numCourses];
        // Check if the graph contains a circle, if yes, return false.
        for (int i = 0; i < numCourses; i++) {
            if (hasCircles(i, visited, adjList)) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        
        return true;
    }
    
    private boolean hasCircles(int vertexId, int[] visited, Map<Integer, List<Integer>> adjList) {
        if (visited[vertexId] == -1) {
            return true;
        }
        
        if (visited[vertexId] == 1) {
            return false;
        }
        
        visited[vertexId] = -1;
        
        List<Integer> neighbors = adjList.get(vertexId);
        if (neighbors != null) {
            for (int neighbor : neighbors) {
                if (hasCircles(neighbor, visited, adjList)) {
                    return true;
                }
            }
        }
        
        visited[vertexId] = 1;
        
        return false;
    }
}

  6.   Majority Element Given an array of size  n , find the majority element. The majority element is the element that appears  more than   ⌊ n/2 ⌋  times. You may assume that the array is non-empty and the majority element always exist in the array. Example 1: Input: [3,2,3] Output: 3 Example 2: Input: [2,2,1,1,1,2,2] Output: 2 Solution in Java  class Solution {     public int majorityElement(int[] num) {         int m = num[0], cnt= 1;     for (int i = 1; i < num.length; i++) {         if (cnt == 0) {             m= num[i];             cnt = 1;         } else if (num[i] == m) {             cnt++;         } else              cnt--;    }      return m;...

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 190. Reverse Bits. Python. Bit Manipulation

  190 .  Reverse Bits Reverse bits of a given 32 bits unsigned integer. Note: Note that in some languages, such as Java, there is no unsigned integer type. In this case, both input and output will be given as a signed integer type. They should not affect your implementation, as the integer's internal binary representation is the same, whether it is signed or unsigned. In Java, the compiler represents the signed integers using  2's complement notation . Therefore, in  Example 2  above, the input represents the signed integer  -3  and the output represents the signed integer  -1073741825 .   Example 1: Input: n = 00000010100101000001111010011100 Output: 964176192 (00111001011110000010100101000000) Explanation: The input binary string 00000010100101000001111010011100 represents the unsigned integer 43261596, so return 964176192 which its binary representation is 00111001011110000010100101000000 . Example 2: Input: n = 11111111111111111111...
