2542. Maximum Subsequence Score
Topic: Array, Greedy, Sorting, Heap (Priority Queue)
Difficulty: Medium
Problem:
You are given two 0-indexed integer arrays
nums1 and nums2 of equal length n and a positive integer k. You must choose a subsequence of indices from nums1 of length k.For chosen indices
i_0, i_1, ..., i_k - 1, your score is defined as:• The sum of the selected elements from
nums1 multiplied with the minimum of the selected elements from nums2.• It can defined simply as:
(nums1[i_0] + nums1[i_1] +...+ nums1[i_k - 1]) * min(nums2[i_0] , nums2[i_1], ... ,nums2[i_k - 1]).Return the maximum possible score.
A subsequence of indices of an array is a set that can be derived from the set
{0, 1, ..., n-1} by deleting some or no elements.Example 1:
Input: nums1 = [1,3,3,2], nums2 = [2,1,3,4], k = 3
Output: 12
Explanation:
The four possible subsequence scores are:
- We choose the indices 0, 1, and 2 with score = (1+3+3) * min(2,1,3) = 7.
- We choose the indices 0, 1, and 3 with score = (1+3+2) * min(2,1,4) = 6.
- We choose the indices 0, 2, and 3 with score = (1+3+2) * min(2,3,4) = 12.
- We choose the indices 1, 2, and 3 with score = (3+3+2) * min(1,3,4) = 8.
Therefore, we return the max score, which is 12.
Example 2:
Input: nums1 = [4,2,3,1,1], nums2 = [7,5,10,9,6], k = 1
Output: 30
Explanation:
Choosing index 2 is optimal: nums1[2] * nums2[2] = 3 * 10 = 30 is the maximum possible score.
Constraints:

n == nums1.length == nums2.length•
1 <= n <= 10^5•

Alice and Bob continue their games with piles of stones. There are a number of piles arranged in a row, and each pile has a positive integer number of stones
piles[i]. The objective of the game is to end with the most stones. Alice and Bob take turns, with Alice starting first. Initially,
M = 1.On each player's turn, that player can take all the stones in the first
X remaining piles, where 1 <= X <= 2M. Then, we set M = max(M, X).The game continues until all the stones have been taken.
Assuming Alice and Bob play optimally, return the maximum number of stones Alice can get.
Example 1:
Input: piles = [2,7,9,4,4]
Output: 10
Explanation: If Alice takes one pile at the beginning, Bob takes two piles, then Alice takes 2 piles again. Alice can get 2 + 4 + 4 = 10 piles in total. If Alice takes two piles at the beginning, then Bob can take all three piles left. In this case, Alice get 2 + 7 = 9 piles in total. So we return 10 since it's larger.

Assume Alice and Bob play optimally.
Return
"Alice" if Alice will win, "Bob" if Bob will win, or "Tie" if they will end the game with the same score.Example 1:
Input: values = [1,2,3,7]
Output: "Bob"
Explanation: Alice will always lose. Her best move will be to take three piles and the score become 6. Now the score of Bob is 7 and Bob wins.
Example 2:
Input: values = [1,2,3,-9]
Output: "Alice"
Explanation: Alice must choose all the three piles at the first move to win and leave Bob with negative score.
If Alice chooses one pile her score will be 1 and the next move Bob's score becomes 5. In the next move, Alice will take the pile with value = -9 and lose.
If Alice chooses two piles her score will be 3 and the next move Bob's score becomes 3. In the next move, Alice will take the pile with value = -9 and also lose.
Remember that both play optimally so here Alice will choose the scenario that makes her win.
Example 3:
Input: values = [1,2,3,6]
Output: "Tie"
Explanation: Alice cannot win this game. She can end the game in a draw if she decided to choose all the first three piles, otherwise she will lose.

Given an integer array
cuts where cuts[i] denotes a position you should perform a cut at.You should perform the cuts in order, you can change the order of the cuts as you wish.
The cost of one cut is the length of the stick to be cut, the total cost is the sum of costs of all cuts. When you cut a stick, it will be split into two smaller sticks (i.e. the sum of their lengths is the length of the stick before the cut). Please refer to the first example for a better explanation.
Return the minimum total cost of the cuts.
Example 1:
Image: https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/07/23/e1.jpg
Input: n = 7, cuts = [1,3,4,5]
Output: 16
Explanation: Using cuts order = [1, 3, 4, 5] as in the input leads to the following scenario:
Image: [https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/07/21/e11.jpg](https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/07/21/e11.jpg)
The first cut is done to a rod of length 7 so the cost is 7. The second cut is done to a rod of length 6 (i.e. the second part of the first cut), the third is done to a rod of length 4 and the last cut is to a rod of length 3. The total cost is 7 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 20.
Rearranging the cuts to be [3, 5, 1, 4] for example will lead to a scenario with total cost = 16 (as shown in the example photo 7 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 16).
Example 2:
Input: n = 9, cuts = [5,6,1,4,2]
Output: 22
Explanation: If you try the given cuts ordering the cost will be 25.
There are much ordering with total cost <= 25, for example, the order [4, 6, 5, 2, 1] has total cost = 22 which is the minimum possible.

The bombs are represented by a 0-indexed 2D integer array
bombs where bombs[i] = [x_i, y_i, r_i]. x_i and y_i denote the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate of the location of the i^th bomb, whereas r_i denotes the radius of its range.You may choose to detonate a single bomb. When a bomb is detonated, it will detonate all bombs that lie in its range. These bombs will further detonate the bombs that lie in their ranges.

Image: https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2021/11/06/desmos-eg-3.png
Input: bombs = [[2,1,3],[6,1,4]]
Output: 2
Explanation:
The above figure shows the positions and ranges of the 2 bombs.
If we detonate the left bomb, the right bomb will not be affected.
But if we detonate the right bomb, both bombs will be detonated.
So the maximum bombs that can be detonated is max(1, 2) = 2.
Example 2:
Image: https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2021/11/06/desmos-eg-2.png
Input: bombs = [[1,1,5],[10,10,5]]
Output: 1
Explanation:
Detonating either bomb will not detonate the other bomb, so the maximum number of bombs that can be detonated is 1.
Example 3:
Image: https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2021/11/07/desmos-eg1.png
Input: bombs = [[1,2,3],[2,3,1],[3,4,2],[4,5,3],[5,6,4]]
Output: 5
Explanation:
The best bomb to detonate is bomb 0 because:
- Bomb 0 detonates bombs 1 and 2. The red circle denotes the range of bomb 0.
- Bomb 2 detonates bomb 3. The blue circle denotes the range of bomb 2.
- Bomb 3 detonates bomb 4. The green circle denotes the range of bomb 3.
Thus all 5 bombs are detonated.

Topic: Array, Binary Search
Difficulty: Easy
Problem:
You are given an array of characters
letters that is sorted in non-decreasing order, and a character target. There are at least two different characters in letters.Return the smallest character in
letters that is lexicographically greater than target. If such a character does not exist, return the first character in letters.Example 1:
Input: letters = ["c","f","j"], target = "a"
Output: "c"
Explanation: The smallest character that is lexicographically greater than 'a' in letters is 'c'.
Example 2:
Input: letters = ["c","f","j"], target = "c"
Output: "f"
Explanation: The smallest character that is lexicographically greater than 'c' in letters is 'f'.
Example 3:
Input: letters = ["x","x","y","y"], target = "z"
Output: "x"
Explanation: There are no characters in letters that is lexicographically greater than 'z' so we return letters[0].

1802. Maximum Value at a Given Index in a Bounded Array
Topic: Binary Search, Greedy
Difficulty: Medium
Problem:
You are given three positive integers:
n, index, and maxSum. You want to construct an array nums (0-indexed) that satisfies the following conditions:•
nums.length == n•
nums[i] is a positive integer where 0 <= i < n.•
abs(nums[i] - nums[i+1]) <= 1 where 0 <= i < n-1.• The sum of all the elements of
nums does not exceed maxSum.•
nums[index] is maximized.Return
nums[index] of the constructed array.Note that
abs(x) equals x if x >= 0, and -x otherwise.Example 1:
Input: n = 4, index = 2, maxSum = 6
Output: 2
Explanation: nums = [1,2,2,1] is one array that satisfies all the conditions.
There are no arrays that satisfy all the conditions and have nums[2] == 3, so 2 is the maximum nums[2].
Example 2:
Input: n = 6, index = 1, maxSum = 10
Output: 3
Constraints:
•
1 <= n <= maxSum <= 10^9•
0 <= index < n2023-06-11

1146. Snapshot Array
Topic: Array, Hash Table, Binary Search, Design
Difficulty: Medium
Problem:
Implement a SnapshotArray that supports the following interface:
•
SnapshotArray(int length) initializes an array-like data structure with the given length. Initially, each element equals 0.•
void set(index, val) sets the element at the given index to be equal to val.•
int snap() takes a snapshot of the array and returns the snap_id: the total number of times we called snap() minus 1.•
int get(index, snap_id) returns the value at the given index, at the time we took the snapshot with the given snap_idExample 1:
Input: ["SnapshotArray","set","snap","set","get"]
[[3],[0,5],[],[0,6],[0,0]]
Output: [null,null,0,null,5]
Explanation:
SnapshotArray snapshotArr = new SnapshotArray(3); // set the length to be 3
snapshotArr.set(0,5); // Set array[0] = 5
snapshotArr.snap(); // Take a snapshot, return snap_id = 0
snapshotArr.set(0,6);
snapshotArr.get(0,0); // Get the value of array[0] with snap_id = 0, return 5
Constraints:
•
1 <= length <= 5 * 10^4•
0 <= index < length•
0 <= val <= 10^9•
0 <= snap_id < (the total number of times we call snap())• At most
