Container with Most Water - Leetcode 11 - Python

 You are given an integer array height of length n. There are n vertical lines drawn such that the two endpoints of the ith line are (i, 0) and (i, height[i]).

Find two lines that together with the x-axis form a container, such that the container contains the most water.

Return the maximum amount of water a container can store.

Notice that you may not slant the container.


 Input: height = [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]

Output: 49
Explanation: The above vertical lines are represented by array [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]. In this case, the max area of water (blue section) the container can contain is 49.


class Solution:

    def maxArea(self, height: List[int]) -> int:

        # ans = 0

        # for l in range(len(height)):

        #     for r in range(l+1, len(height)):

        #         ar = (r-l) * min(height[l],height[r])

        #         ans = max(ans, ar)

        # return ans

        

        ans = 0

        l, r = 0, len(height)-1

        

        while l<r:

            ar = (r-l) * min(height[l],height[r])

            ans = max(ans, ar)

            

            if height[l] < height[r]:

                l+=1

            else :

                r -=1

        return ans

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 :

Number of Connected Components in an Undirected Graph (Python)

66.  Number of Connected Components in an Undirected Graph Question Link :  check here Givennnodes labeled from0ton - 1and a list of undirected edges (each edge is a pair of nodes), write a function to find the number of connected components in an undirected graph. Example 1:      0          3      |          |      1 --- 2    4 Givenn = 5andedges = [[0, 1], [1, 2], [3, 4]], return2. Example 2:      0           4      |           |      1 --- 2 --- 3 Givenn = 5andedges = [[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4]], return1. Note: You can assume that no duplicate edges will appear inedges. Since all edges are undirected,[0, 1]is the same as[1, 0]and thus will not appear together inedges. Solution : class Solution: def counComponents(self, n: int, edges : List[List[int]]) -> i...
