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 :

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)):         #      ...
