Interval List Intersections

Given two lists of closed intervals, each list of intervals is pairwise disjoint and in sorted order.

Return the intersection of these two interval lists.

(Formally, 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 is either empty, or can be represented as a closed interval. For example, the intersection of [1, 3] and [2, 4] is [2, 3].)

Example 1:

Interval list intersection explaining figure

Input: A = [[0,2],[5,10],[13,23],[24,25]], B = [[1,5],[8,12],[15,24],[25,26]]
Output: [[1,2],[5,5],[8,10],[15,23],[24,24],[25,25]]
Reminder: The inputs and the desired output are lists of Interval objects, and not arrays or lists.

Note:

0 <= A.length < 1000
0 <= B.length < 1000
0 <= A[i].start, A[i].end, B[i].start, B[i].end < 10^9

NOTE: input types have been changed on April 15, 2019. Please reset to default code definition to get new method signature.

SOLUTION IN JAVA :

class Solution {
public int[][] intervalIntersection(int[][] A, int[][] B) {
List<int[]> ans = new ArrayList();
int i = 0, j = 0;
while (i < A.length && j < B.length) {
int lo = Math.max(A[i][0], B[j][0]);
int hi = Math.min(A[i][1], B[j][1]);
if (lo <= hi)
ans.add(new int[]{lo, hi});
if (A[i][1] < B[j][1])
i++;
else
j++;
}
return ans.toArray(new int[ans.size()][]);
}
}

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 ...
