Word Search - Leetcode 79 - Python

Given an m x n grid of characters board and a string word, return true if word exists in the grid.

The word can be constructed from letters of sequentially adjacent cells, where adjacent cells are horizontally or vertically neighboring. The same letter cell may not be used more than once.


class Solution:

    def exist(self, b: List[List[str]], w: str) -> bool:

        row, col = len(b), len(b[0])

        p = set()

        

        def dfs(r, c, i):

            if i == len(w):

                return True

            

            if (

                r<0 or 

                c<0 or

                r>=row or

                c>=col or

                w[i]!=b[r][c] or

                (r,c) in p  

               ) : return False

            

            p.add((r,c))

            

            ans = (dfs(r+1,c,i+1) or

                  dfs(r-1,c,i+1) or

                  dfs(r,c+1,i+1) or

                  dfs(r,c-1,i+1))

            

            p.remove((r,c))

            return ans

        

        for r in range(row):

            for c in range(col):

                if dfs(r,c,0): return True

        return False

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 :

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   i th   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)):         #      ...

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 ...
