Longest Consecutive Sequence - Leetcode 128 - Python

Longest Consecutive Sequence 


Given an unsorted array of integers nums, return the length of the longest consecutive elements sequence.

You must write an algorithm that runs in O(n) time.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [100,4,200,1,3,2]
Output: 4
Explanation: The longest consecutive elements sequence is [1, 2, 3, 4]. Therefore its length is 4.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0,3,7,2,5,8,4,6,0,1]
Output: 9
class Solution:
    def longestConsecutive(self, n: List[int]) -> int:
        ns = set(n) 
        lgt = 0
        
        for i in n:
            #seq start or not?
            if i-1 not in ns:
                lth = 0
                while i + lth in ns:
                    lth += 1
                lgt = max(lth, lgt)
        return lgt

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 :

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        ...
