Edit Distance

Given two words word1 and word2, find the minimum number of operations required to convert word1 to word2.

You have the following 3 operations permitted on a word:

1. Insert a character
2. Delete a character
3. Replace a character

Example 1:

Input: word1 = "horse", word2 = "ros"
Output: 3
Explanation: 
horse -> rorse (replace 'h' with 'r')
rorse -> rose (remove 'r')
rose -> ros (remove 'e')

Example 2:

Input: word1 = "intention", word2 = "execution"
Output: 5
Explanation: 
intention -> inention (remove 't')
inention -> enention (replace 'i' with 'e')
enention -> exention (replace 'n' with 'x')
exention -> exection (replace 'n' with 'c')
exection -> execution (insert 'u')

Solution in Java :

class Solution {
public int minDistance(String word1, String word2) {
int m = word1.length(), n = word2.length();

int[][] dp = new int[m + 1][n + 1];

for(int i = 0; i <= m; i++) {
dp[i][0] = i;
}
for(int j = 0; j <= n; j++) {
dp[0][j] = j;
}

for(int i = 1; i <= m; i++) {
for(int j = 1; j <= n; j++) {
if(word1.charAt(i - 1) == word2.charAt(j - 1))
dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1];
else
dp[i][j] = min(dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1, dp[i - 1][j] + 1, dp[i][j - 1] + 1);
}
}
return dp[m][n];
}

private int min(int a, int b, int c) {
if(a <= b && a <= c) return a;
else if (b <= a && b <= c) return b;
else return c;
}
}

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 ...

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 ...
