Leetcode 211. Design Add and Search Words Data Structure. Python (Prefix Tree)

 

211. Design Add and Search Words Data Structure


Design a data structure that supports adding new words and finding if a string matches any previously added string.

Implement the WordDictionary class:

  • WordDictionary() Initializes the object.
  • void addWord(word) Adds word to the data structure, it can be matched later.
  • bool search(word) Returns true if there is any string in the data structure that matches word or false otherwise. word may contain dots '.' where dots can be matched with any letter.

 

Example:

Input
["WordDictionary","addWord","addWord","addWord","search","search","search","search"]
[[],["bad"],["dad"],["mad"],["pad"],["bad"],[".ad"],["b.."]]
Output
[null,null,null,null,false,true,true,true]

Explanation
WordDictionary wordDictionary = new WordDictionary();
wordDictionary.addWord("bad");
wordDictionary.addWord("dad");
wordDictionary.addWord("mad");
wordDictionary.search("pad"); // return False
wordDictionary.search("bad"); // return True
wordDictionary.search(".ad"); // return True
wordDictionary.search("b.."); // return True

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= word.length <= 25
  • word in addWord consists of lowercase English letters.
  • word in search consist of '.' or lowercase English letters.
  • There will be at most 3 dots in word for search queries.
  • At most 104 calls will be made to addWord and search.


class TrieNode:
    def __init__(self):
        self.children = {}
        self.eow = False

class WordDictionary:
    def __init__(self):
        self.root = TrieNode()
        
    def addWord(self, word: str) -> None:
        curr = self.root
        for c in word: 
            if c not in curr.children:
                curr.children[c] = TrieNode()
            curr = curr.children[c]
        curr.eow = True

    def search(self, word: str) -> bool:
        def dfs(k, root):
            curr = root
            for i in range(k, len(word)):
                c = word[i]
                if c == ".":
                    for child in curr.children.values():
                        if dfs(i+1, child):
                            return True
                    return False
                else:
                    if c not in curr.children:
                        return False
                    curr = curr.children[c]
            return curr.eow
        
        return dfs(0, self.root)
        


# Your WordDictionary object will be instantiated and called as such:
# obj = WordDictionary()
# obj.addWord(word)
# param_2 = obj.search(word)

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 :

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        ...
