Squares of a Sorted Array

Squares of a Sorted Array (Easy)

Link : https://leetcode.com/problems/squares-of-a-sorted-array/

Given an integer array nums sorted in non-decreasing order, return an array of the squares of each number sorted in non-decreasing order.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-4,-1,0,3,10]

Output: [0,1,9,16,100]

Explanation: After squaring, the array becomes [16,1,0,9,100].

After sorting, it becomes [0,1,9,16,100].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-7,-3,2,3,11]

Output: [4,9,9,49,121]

Constraints:

1 <= nums.length <= 104

-104 <= nums[i] <= 104

nums is sorted in non-decreasing order.

Follow up: Squaring each element and sorting the new array is very trivial, could you find an O(n) solution using a different approach?

Solution (C++) :

    vector<int> sortedSquares(vector<int>& nums) {
        int n = nums.size();
        int start=0;
        int end=n-1;
        
        vector <int> res(n);
        int pos = n-1;
        
        while(start <= end)
        {
            if(abs(nums[start]) < abs(nums[end])) {
                res[pos--] = nums[end] * nums[end];
                end--;
            } else{
                res[pos--] = nums[start] * nums[start];
                start++;
            }
        }
        
        return res;
    }

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 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 242. Valid Anagram. Python (3 Ways)

242 . Valid Anagram Given two strings s and t , return true if t is an anagram of s , and false otherwise . An Anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once. Example 1: Input: s = "anagram", t = "nagaram" Output: true Example 2: Input: s = "rat", t = "car" Output: false Constraints: 1 <= s.length, t.length <= 5 * 10 4 s and t consist of lowercase English letters. Follow up: What if the inputs contain Unicode characters? How would you adapt your solution to such a case? class Solution: def isAnagram(self, s: str, t: str) -> bool: return sorted(s) == sorted(t) # return Counter(s) == Counter(t) # cs, ct = {}, {} # if len(s) != len(t): # return False # for i in range(len(s)): # cs[s[i]] = 1 + cs.get(s[i], 0) #
