2136. Earliest Possible Day of Full Bloom
Topic: Array, Greedy, Sorting
Difficulty: Hard
Problem:
You have
n flower seeds. Every seed must be planted first before it can begin to grow, then bloom. Planting a seed takes time and so does the growth of a seed. You are given two 0-indexed integer arrays plantTime and growTime, of length n each:•
plantTime[i] is the number of full days it takes you to plant the i^th seed. Every day, you can work on planting exactly one seed. You do not have to work on planting the same seed on consecutive days, but the planting of a seed is not complete until you have worked plantTime[i] days on planting it in total.•
growTime[i] is the number of full days it takes the i^th seed to grow after being completely planted. After the last day of its growth, the flower blooms and stays bloomed forever.From the beginning of day
0, you can plant the seeds in any order.Return the earliest possible day where all seeds are blooming.
Example 1:
Image: https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2021/12/21/1.png
Input: plantTime = [1,4,3], growTime = [2,3,1]
Output: 9
Explanation: The grayed out pots represent planting days, colored pots represent growing days, and the flower represents the day it blooms.
One optimal way is:
On day 0, plant the 0^th seed. The seed grows for 2 full days and blooms on day 3.
On days 1, 2, 3, and 4, plant the 1^st seed. The seed grows for 3 full days and blooms on day 8.
On days 5, 6, and 7, plant the 2^nd seed. The seed grows for 1 full day and blooms on day 9.
Thus, on day 9, all the seeds are blooming.
Example 2:

Input: plantTime = [1,2,3,2], growTime = [2,1,2,1]
Output: 9
Explanation: The grayed out pots represent planting days, colored pots represent growing days, and the flower represents the day it blooms.
One optimal way is:
On day 1, plant the 0^th seed. The seed grows for 2 full days and blooms on day 4.
On days 0 and 3, plant the 1^st seed. The seed grows for 1 full day and blooms on day 5.
On days 2, 4, and 5, plant the 2^nd seed. The seed grows for 2 full days and blooms on day 8.
On days 6 and 7, plant the 3^rd seed. The seed grows for 1 full day and blooms on day 9.
Thus, on day 9, all the seeds are blooming.
Example 3:
Input: plantTime = [1], growTime = [1]
Output: 2
Explanation: On day 0, plant the 0^th seed. The seed grows for 1 full day and blooms on day 2.
Thus, on day 2, all the seeds are blooming.

1544. Make The String Great
Topic: String, Stack
Difficulty: Easy
Problem:
Given a string
s of lower and upper case English letters.A good string is a string which doesn't have two adjacent characters
s[i] and s[i + 1] where:•
0 <= i <= s.length - 2•
s[i] is a lower-case letter and s[i + 1] is the same letter but in upper-case or vice-versa.To make the string good, you can choose two adjacent characters that make the string bad and remove them. You can keep doing this until the string becomes good.
Return the string after making it good. The answer is guaranteed to be unique under the given constraints.
Notice that an empty string is also good.
Example 1:
Input: s = "leEeetcode"
Output: "leetcode"
Explanation: In the first step, either you choose i = 1 or i = 2, both will result "leEeetcode" to be reduced to "leetcode".
Example 2:
Input: s = "abBAcC"
Output: ""
Explanation: We have many possible scenarios, and all lead to the same answer. For example:
"abBAcC" --> "aAcC" --> "cC" --> ""
"abBAcC" --> "abBA" --> "aA" --> ""
Example 3:
Input: s = "s"
Output: "s"

The span of the stock's price today is defined as the maximum number of consecutive days (starting from today and going backward) for which the stock price was less than or equal to today's price.
• For example, if the price of a stock over the next
7 days were [100,80,60,70,60,75,85], then the stock spans would be [1,1,1,2,1,4,6].Implement the
StockSpanner class:•
StockSpanner() Initializes the object of the class.•
int next(int price) Returns the span of the stock's price given that today's price is price.Example 1:

stockSpanner.next(60); // return 1
stockSpanner.next(70); // return 2
stockSpanner.next(60); // return 1
stockSpanner.next(75); // return 4, because the last 4 prices (including today's price of 75) were less than or equal to today's price.

1047. Remove All Adjacent Duplicates In String
Topic: String, Stack
Difficulty: Easy
Problem:
You are given a string
s consisting of lowercase English letters. A duplicate removal consists of choosing two adjacent and equal letters and removing them.We repeatedly make duplicate removals on
s until we no longer can.Return the final string after all such duplicate removals have been made. It can be proven that the answer is unique.
Example 1:
Input: s = "abbaca"
Output: "ca"
Explanation:
For example, in "abbaca" we could remove "bb" since the letters are adjacent and equal, and this is the only possible move. The result of this move is that the string is "aaca", of which only "aa" is possible, so the final string is "ca".
Example 2:
Input: s = "azxxzy"
Output: "ay"
Constraints:
•
1 <= s.length <= 10^5•
s consists of lowercase English letters.2022-11-11

26. Remove Duplicates from Sorted Array
Topic: Array, Two Pointers
Difficulty: Easy
Problem:
Given an integer array
nums sorted in non-decreasing order, remove the duplicates in-place such that each unique element appears only once. The relative order of the elements should be kept the same.Since it is impossible to change the length of the array in some languages, you must instead have the result be placed in the first part of the array
nums. More formally, if there are k elements after removing the duplicates, then the first k elements of nums should hold the final result. It does not matter what you leave beyond the first k elements.Return
k after placing the final result in the first k slots of nums.Do not allocate extra space for another array. You must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.
Custom Judge:
The judge will test your solution with the following code:
int[] nums = [...]; // Input array
int[] expectedNums = [...]; // The expected answer with correct length
int k = removeDuplicates(nums); // Calls your implementation
assert k == expectedNums.length;
for (int i = 0; i < k; i++) {
assert nums[i] == expectedNums[i];
}
If all assertions pass, then your solution will be accepted.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,1,2]
Output: 2, nums = [1,2,_]
Explanation: Your function should return k = 2, with the first two elements of nums being 1 and 2 respectively.
It does not matter what you leave beyond the returned k (hence they are underscores).
Example 2:
Input: nums = [0,0,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4]
Output: 5, nums = [0,1,2,3,4,_,_,_,_,_]
Explanation: Your function should return k = 5, with the first five elements of nums being 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.
It does not matter what you leave beyond the returned k (hence they are underscores).
Constraints:
•
1 <= nums.length <= 3 * 10^4•
-100 <= nums[i] <= 100•
nums is sorted in non-decreasing order.2022-11-12
