3Sum - Leetcode 15 - Python

Given an integer array nums, return all the triplets [nums[i], nums[j], nums[k]] such that i != j, i != k, and j != k, and nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[k] == 0.

Notice that the solution set must not contain duplicate triplets.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-1,0,1,2,-1,-4]
Output: [[-1,-1,2],[-1,0,1]]
Explanation: 
nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2] = (-1) + 0 + 1 = 0.
nums[1] + nums[2] + nums[4] = 0 + 1 + (-1) = 0.
nums[0] + nums[3] + nums[4] = (-1) + 2 + (-1) = 0.
The distinct triplets are [-1,0,1] and [-1,-1,2]. 

Notice that the order of the output and the order of the triplets does not matter.


class Solution:

    def threeSum(self, nums: List[int]) -> List[List[int]]:

        ans = []

        nums.sort()

        

        for i,a in enumerate(nums):

            if i>0 and a == nums[i-1]:

                continue

                

            l, r = i+1, len(nums)-1

            while l<r:

                tsum = a + nums[l] + nums[r]

                if tsum > 0:

                    r -= 1

                elif tsum < 0 :

                    l +=1 

                else:

                    ans.append([a,nums[l],nums[r]])

                    l += 1

                    while nums[l] == nums [l-1] and l < r:

                        l += 1

        return ans

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 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 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 :
