Binary Tree Maximum Path Sum - Leetcode 124 - Python

A path in a binary tree is a sequence of nodes where each pair of adjacent nodes in the sequence has an edge connecting them. A node can only appear in the sequence at most once. Note that the path does not need to pass through the root.

The path sum of a path is the sum of the node's values in the path.

Given the root of a binary tree, return the maximum path sum of any non-empty path. 


Input: root = [-10,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Output: 42
Explanation: The optimal path is 15 -> 20 -> 7 with a path sum of 15 + 20 + 7 = 42.
class Solution:
    def maxPathSum(self, root: Optional[TreeNode]) -> int:
        ans = [root.val]
        
        #max w/o split
        def dfs(root):
            if not root :
                return 0
            
            ml = dfs(root.left)
            ml = max(ml, 0)
            
            mr = dfs(root.right)
            mr = max(mr, 0)
            
            #max with split
            ans[0] = max(ans[0], root.val + ml + mr)
            
            return root.val + max(ml, mr)
        
        dfs(root)
        return 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 :

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...

Leetcode 347. Top K Frequent Elements. Python (Bubble Sort)

Top K Frequent Elements Given an integer array  nums  and an integer  k , return  the   k   most frequent elements . You may return the answer in  any order .   Example 1: Input: nums = [1,1,1,2,2,3], k = 2 Output: [1,2] Example 2: Input: nums = [1], k = 1 Output: [1]   Constraints: 1 <= nums.length <= 10 5 -10 4  <= nums[i] <= 10 4 k  is in the range  [1, the number of unique elements in the array] . It is  guaranteed  that the answer is  unique .   Follow up:  Your algorithm's time complexity must be better than  O(n log n) , where n is the array's size. Solution : class Solution:     def topKFrequent(self, n: List[int], k: int) -> List[int]:                  # [1,1,1,2,2,3] &  k = 2                  f = [[] for i in range(len(n) + 1)]         # f = [...
