Spiral Matrix - Leetcode 54 - Python

 Given an m x n matrix, return all elements of the matrix in spiral order.



Input: matrix = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]
Output: [1,2,3,6,9,8,7,4,5]



class Solution:

    def spiralOrder(self, m: List[List[int]]) -> List[int]:

        ans = []

        l, r = 0, len(m[0])

        t, b = 0, len(m)

        

        while l < r and t < b:

            

            # top row cover

            for i in range(l,r):

                ans.append(m[t][i])

            t += 1


            # right col cover

            for  i in range(t,b):

                ans.append(m[i][r-1])

            r -= 1

            

            # no jhanjat of 1 x n or n x 1 

            if not (l < r and t < b):

                break


            # bottom row cover

            for i in range(r-1,l-1,-1):

                ans.append(m[b-1][i])

            b -= 1


            # left col cover

            for i in range(b-1,t-1,-1):

                ans.append(m[i][l])

            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 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 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 ...
