878. Nth Magical Number

Topic: Math, Binary Search
Difficulty: Hard

Problem:
A positive integer is magical if it is divisible by either a or b.

Given the three integers n, a, and b, return the n^th magical number. Since the answer may be very large, return it modulo 10^9 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: n = 1, a = 2, b = 3
Output: 2

Example 2:

Input: n = 4, a = 2, b = 3
Output: 6

Example 3:

Input: n = 5, a = 2, b = 4
Output: 10

Example 4:

Input: n = 3, a = 6, b = 4
Output: 8

Constraints:

1 <= n <= 10^92 <= a, b <= 4 * 10^4

416. Partition Equal Subset Sum

Topic: Array, Dynamic Programming
Difficulty: Medium

Problem:
Given a non-empty array nums containing only positive integers, find if the array can be partitioned into two subsets such that the sum of elements in both subsets is equal.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,5,11,5]
Output: true
Explanation: The array can be partitioned as [1, 5, 5] and [11].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,5]
Output: false
Explanation: The array cannot be partitioned into equal sum subsets.

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 200
• 1 <= nums[i] <= 100

1446. Consecutive Characters

Topic: String
Difficulty: Easy

Problem:
The power of the string is the maximum length of a non-empty substring that contains only one unique character.

Given a string s, return the power of s.

Example 1:

Input: s = "leetcode"
Output: 2
Explanation: The substring "ee" is of length 2 with the character 'e' only.

Example 2:

Input: s = "abbcccddddeeeeedcba"
Output: 5
Explanation: The substring "eeeee" is of length 5 with the character 'e' only.

Example 3:

Input: s = "triplepillooooow"
Output: 5

Example 4:

Input: s = "hooraaaaaaaaaaay"
Output: 11

Example 5:

Input: s = "tourist"
Output: 1

Constraints:

• 1 <= s.length <= 500
• s consists of only lowercase English letters.
