Leetcode 424. Longest Repeating Character Replacement. Python (Sliding Window)

 424Longest 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 <= 105
  • 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
        
        l = 0
        for r in range(len(s)):
            hm[s[r]] = 1 + hm.get(s[r],0)
            
            while (r-l+1) - max(hm.values()) > k:
                hm[s[l]] -= 1
                l += 1
                
            ans = max(ans, r-l+1)
        return ans

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 :

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...
