3392. Count Subarrays of Length Three With a Condition

Topic: Array
Difficulty: Easy

Problem:
Given an integer array nums, return the number of subarrays of length 3 such that the sum of the first and third numbers equals exactly half of the second number.

Example 1:

Input: nums = 1,2,1,4,1

Output: 1

Explanation:

Only the subarray [1,4,1] contains exactly 3 elements where the sum of the first and third numbers equals half the middle number.

Example 2:

Input: nums = 1,1,1

Output: 0

Explanation:

[1,1,1] is the only subarray of length 3. However, its first and third numbers do not add to half the middle number.

Constraints:

• 3 <= nums.length <= 100
• -100 <= nums[i] <= 100

2302. Count Subarrays With Score Less Than K

Topic: Array, Binary Search, Sliding Window, Prefix Sum
Difficulty: Hard

Problem:
The score of an array is defined as the product of its sum and its length.

• For example, the score of [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] is (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) * 5 = 75.

Given a positive integer array nums and an integer k, return the number of non-empty subarrays of nums whose score is strictly less than k.

A subarray is a contiguous sequence of elements within an array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,1,4,3,5], k = 10
Output: 6
Explanation:
The 6 subarrays having scores less than 10 are:
- [2] with score 2 * 1 = 2.
- [1] with score 1 * 1 = 1.
- [4] with score 4 * 1 = 4.
- [3] with score 3 * 1 = 3. 
- [5] with score 5 * 1 = 5.
- [2,1] with score (2 + 1) * 2 = 6.
Note that subarrays such as [1,4] and [4,3,5] are not considered because their scores are 10 and 36 respectively, while we need scores strictly less than 10.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,1,1], k = 5
Output: 5
Explanation:
Every subarray except [1,1,1] has a score less than 5.
[1,1,1] has a score (1 + 1 + 1) * 3 = 9, which is greater than 5.
Thus, there are 5 subarrays having scores less than 5.

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
• 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^5
• 1 <= k <= 10^15

A subarray is a contiguous sequence of elements within an array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,3,2,3,3], k = 2
Output: 6
Explanation: The subarrays that contain the element 3 at least 2 times are: [1,3,2,3], [1,3,2,3,3], [3,2,3], [3,2,3,3], [2,3,3] and [3,3].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,4,2,1], k = 3
Output: 0
Explanation: No subarray contains the element 4 at least 3 times.

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
• 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^6
• 1 <= k <= 10^5

12 contains 2 digits (even number of digits). 
345 contains 3 digits (odd number of digits). 
2 contains 1 digit (odd number of digits). 
6 contains 1 digit (odd number of digits). 
7896 contains 4 digits (even number of digits). 
Therefore only 12 and 7896 contain an even number of digits.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [555,901,482,1771]
Output: 1 
Explanation: 
Only 1771 contains an even number of digits.

2071. Maximum Number of Tasks You Can Assign

Topic: Array, Binary Search, Greedy, Queue, Sorting, Monotonic Queue
Difficulty: Hard

Problem:
You have n tasks and m workers. Each task has a strength requirement stored in a 0-indexed integer array tasks, with the i^th task requiring tasks[i] strength to complete. The strength of each worker is stored in a 0-indexed integer array workers, with the j^th worker having workers[j] strength. Each worker can only be assigned to a single task and must have a strength greater than or equal to the task's strength requirement (i.e., workers[j] >= tasks[i]).

Additionally, you have pills magical pills that will increase a worker's strength by strength. You can decide which workers receive the magical pills, however, you may only give each worker at most one magical pill.

Given the 0-indexed integer arrays tasks and workers and the integers pills and strength, return the maximum number of tasks that can be completed.

Example 1:

Input: tasks = [3,2,1], workers = [0,3,3], pills = 1, strength = 1
Output: 3
Explanation:
We can assign the magical pill and tasks as follows:
- Give the magical pill to worker 0.
- Assign worker 0 to task 2 (0 + 1 >= 1)
- Assign worker 1 to task 1 (3 >= 2)
- Assign worker 2 to task 0 (3 >= 3)

Example 2:

Input: tasks = [5,4], workers = [0,0,0], pills = 1, strength = 5
Output: 1
Explanation:
We can assign the magical pill and tasks as follows:
- Give the magical pill to worker 0.
- Assign worker 0 to task 0 (0 + 5 >= 5)

Example 3:

Input: tasks = [10,15,30], workers = [0,10,10,10,10], pills = 3, strength = 10
Output: 2
Explanation:
We can assign the magical pills and tasks as follows:
- Give the magical pill to worker 0 and worker 1.
- Assign worker 0 to task 0 (0 + 10 >= 10)
- Assign worker 1 to task 1 (10 + 10 >= 15)
The last pill is not given because it will not make any worker strong enough for the last task.

Constraints:

• n == tasks.length
• m == workers.length
• 1 <= n, m <= 5 * 10^4
• 0 <= pills <= m
• 0 <= tasks[i], workers[j], strength <= 10^9

838. Push Dominoes

Topic: Two Pointers, String, Dynamic Programming
Difficulty: Medium

Problem:
There are n dominoes in a line, and we place each domino vertically upright. In the beginning, we simultaneously push some of the dominoes either to the left or to the right.

After each second, each domino that is falling to the left pushes the adjacent domino on the left. Similarly, the dominoes falling to the right push their adjacent dominoes standing on the right.

When a vertical domino has dominoes falling on it from both sides, it stays still due to the balance of the forces.

For the purposes of this question, we will consider that a falling domino expends no additional force to a falling or already fallen domino.

You are given a string dominoes representing the initial state where:

• dominoes[i] = 'L', if the i^th domino has been pushed to the left,
• dominoes[i] = 'R', if the i^th domino has been pushed to the right, and
• dominoes[i] = '.', if the i^th domino has not been pushed.

Return a string representing the final state.

Example 1:

Input: dominoes = "RR.L"
Output: "RR.L"
Explanation: The first domino expends no additional force on the second domino.

Example 2:

Image: https://s3-lc-upload.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2018/05/18/domino.png

Input: dominoes = ".L.R...LR..L.."
Output: "LL.RR.LLRRLL.."

Constraints:

• n == dominoes.length
• 1 <= n <= 10^5
• dominoes[i] is either 'L', 'R', or '.'.

1007. Minimum Domino Rotations For Equal Row

Topic: Array, Greedy
Difficulty: Medium

Problem:
In a row of dominoes, tops[i] and bottoms[i] represent the top and bottom halves of the i^th domino. (A domino is a tile with two numbers from 1 to 6 - one on each half of the tile.)

We may rotate the i^th domino, so that tops[i] and bottoms[i] swap values.

Return the minimum number of rotations so that all the values in tops are the same, or all the values in bottoms are the same.

If it cannot be done, return -1.

Example 1:

Image: https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2021/05/14/domino.png

Input: tops = [2,1,2,4,2,2], bottoms = [5,2,6,2,3,2]
Output: 2
Explanation: 
The first figure represents the dominoes as given by tops and bottoms: before we do any rotations.
If we rotate the second and fourth dominoes, we can make every value in the top row equal to 2, as indicated by the second figure.

Example 2:

Input: tops = [3,5,1,2,3], bottoms = [3,6,3,3,4]
Output: -1
Explanation: 
In this case, it is not possible to rotate the dominoes to make one row of values equal.

Constraints:

• 2 <= tops.length <= 2 * 10^4
• bottoms.length == tops.length
• 1 <= tops[i], bottoms[i] <= 6

Topic: Hash Table, Math, String, Dynamic Programming, Counting
Difficulty: Medium

Problem:
You are given a string s and an integer t, representing the number of transformations to perform. In one transformation, every character in s is replaced according to the following rules:

• If the character is 'z', replace it with the string "ab".
• Otherwise, replace it with the next character in the alphabet. For example, 'a' is replaced with 'b', 'b' is replaced with 'c', and so on.

Return the length of the resulting string after exactly t transformations.

Since the answer may be very large, return it modulo 10^9 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: s = "abcyy", t = 2

Output: 7

Explanation:

• First Transformation (t = 1):
• 'a' becomes 'b'
• 'b' becomes 'c'
• 'c' becomes 'd'
• 'y' becomes 'z'
• 'y' becomes 'z'
• String after the first transformation: "bcdzz"
• Second Transformation (t = 2):
• 'b' becomes 'c'
• 'c' becomes 'd'

Topic: Hash Table, Math, String, Dynamic Programming, Counting
Difficulty: Hard

Problem:
You are given a string s consisting of lowercase English letters, an integer t representing the number of transformations to perform, and an array nums of size 26. In one transformation, every character in s is replaced according to the following rules:

• Replace s[i] with the next nums[s[i] - 'a'] consecutive characters in the alphabet. For example, if s[i] = 'a' and nums[0] = 3, the character 'a' transforms into the next 3 consecutive characters ahead of it, which results in "bcd".
• The transformation wraps around the alphabet if it exceeds 'z'. For example, if s[i] = 'y' and nums[24] = 3, the character 'y' transforms into the next 3 consecutive characters ahead of it, which results in "zab".

Return the length of the resulting string after exactly t transformations.

Since the answer may be very large, return it modulo 10^9 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: s = "abcyy", t = 2, nums = 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2

• 'b' becomes 'c' as nums[1] == 1
• 'c' becomes 'd' as nums[2] == 1
• 'y' becomes 'z' as nums[24] == 1
• 'y' becomes 'z' as nums[24] == 1
• String after the first transformation: "bcdzz"
• Second Transformation (t = 2):

• 'b' becomes 'c' as nums[1] == 1
• 'c' becomes 'd' as nums[2] == 1
• 'd' becomes 'e' as nums[3] == 1
• 'z' becomes 'ab' as nums[25] == 2
• 'z' becomes 'ab' as nums[25] == 2
• String after the second transformation: "cdeabab"
• Final Length of the string: The string is "cdeabab", which has 7 characters.

Problem:
You are given a string array words and a binary array groups both of length n, where words[i] is associated with groups[i].

Your task is to select the longest alternating subsequence from words. A subsequence of words is alternating if for any two consecutive strings in the sequence, their corresponding elements in the binary array groups differ. Essentially, you are to choose strings such that adjacent elements have non-matching corresponding bits in the groups array.

Formally, you need to find the longest subsequence of an array of indices [0, 1, ..., n - 1] denoted as [i_0, i_1, ..., i_k-1], such that groups[i_j] != groups[i_j+1] for each 0 <= j < k - 1 and then find the words corresponding to these indices.

Return the selected subsequence. If there are multiple answers, return any of them.

Note: The elements in words are distinct.

Example 1:

Input: words = "e","a","b", groups = 0,0,1

Output: "e","b"

Explanation: A subsequence that can be selected is ["e","b"] because groups[0] != groups[2]. Another subsequence that can be selected is ["a","b"] because groups[1] != groups[2]. It can be demonstrated that the length of the longest subsequence of indices that satisfies the condition is 2.

Example 2:

Input: words = "a","b","c","d", groups = 1,0,1,1

Output: "a","b","c"

Explanation: A subsequence that can be selected is ["a","b","c"] because groups[0] != groups[1] and groups[1] != groups[2]. Another subsequence that can be selected is ["a","b","d"] because groups[0] != groups[1] and groups[1] != groups[3]. It can be shown that the length of the longest subsequence of indices that satisfies the condition is 3.

Constraints:

• 1 <= n == words.length == groups.length <= 100
• 1 <= words[i].length <= 10
• groups[i] is either 0 or 1.
• words consists of distinct strings.
• words[i] consists of lowercase English letters.

2901. Longest Unequal Adjacent Groups Subsequence II

Topic: Array, String, Dynamic Programming
Difficulty: Medium

Problem:
You are given a string array words, and an array groups, both arrays having length n.

The hamming distance between two strings of equal length is the number of positions at which the corresponding characters are different.

You need to select the longest subsequence from an array of indices [0, 1, ..., n - 1], such that for the subsequence denoted as [i_0, i_1, ..., i_k-1] having length k, the following holds:

• For adjacent indices in the subsequence, their corresponding groups are unequal, i.e., groups[i_j] != groups[i_j+1], for each j where 0 < j + 1 < k.
• words[i_j] and words[i_j+1] are equal in length, and the hamming distance between them is 1, where 0 < j + 1 < k, for all indices in the subsequence.

Return a string array containing the words corresponding to the indices (in order) in the selected subsequence. If there are multiple answers, return any of them.

Note: strings in words may be unequal in length.

Example 1:

Input: words = "bab","dab","cab", groups = 1,2,2

Output: "bab","cab"

Explanation: A subsequence that can be selected is [0,2].

• groups[0] != groups[2]
• words[0].length == words[2].length, and the hamming distance between them is 1.

So, a valid answer is [words[0],words[2]] = ["bab","cab"].

Another subsequence that can be selected is [0,1].

• groups[0] != groups[1]
• words[0].length == words[1].length, and the hamming distance between them is 1.

So, another valid answer is [words[0],words[1]] = ["bab","dab"].

It can be shown that the length of the longest subsequence of indices that satisfies the conditions is 2.

Example 2:

Input: words = "a","b","c","d", groups = 1,2,3,4

Output: "a","b","c","d"

Explanation: We can select the subsequence [0,1,2,3].

It satisfies both conditions.

Hence, the answer is [words[0],words[1],words[2],words[3]] = ["a","b","c","d"].

It has the longest length among all subsequences of indices that satisfy the conditions.

Hence, it is the only answer.

Constraints:

• 1 <= n == words.length == groups.length <= 1000
• 1 <= words[i].length <= 10
• 1 <= groups[i] <= n
• words consists of distinct strings.
• words[i] consists of lowercase English letters.
