Problem URL: [https://leetcode.com/problems/seat-reservation-manager/?envType=daily-question&envId=2023-11-06](https://leetcode.com/problems/seat-reservation-manager/?envType=daily-question&envId=2023-11-06)

Text:
Design a system that manages the reservation state of n seats that are numbered from 1 to n.

Implement the SeatManager class:
- SeatManager(int n) Initializes a SeatManager object that will manage n seats numbered from 1 to n. All seats are initially available.
- int reserve() Fetches the smallest-numbered unreserved seat, reserves it, and returns its number.
- void unreserve(int seatNumber) Unreserves the seat with the given seatNumber.

Example:

Input:
["SeatManager", "reserve", "reserve", "unreserve", "reserve", "reserve", "reserve", "reserve", "unreserve"]
[[5], [], [], [2], [], [], [], [], [5]]


Output:
[null, 1, 2, null, 2, 3, 4, 5, null]


Explanation:
SeatManager seatManager = new SeatManager(5); // Initializes a SeatManager with 5 seats.
seatManager.reserve(); // All seats are available, so return the lowest numbered seat, which is 1.
seatManager.reserve(); // The available seats are [2,3,4,5], so return the lowest of them, which is 2.
seatManager.unreserve(2); // Unreserve seat 2, so now the available seats are [2,3,4,5].
seatManager.reserve(); // The available seats are [2,3,4,5], so return the lowest of them, which is 2.
seatManager.reserve(); // The available seats are [3,4,5], so return the lowest of them, which is 3.
seatManager.reserve(); // The available seats are [4,5], so return the lowest of them, which is 4.
seatManager.reserve(); // The only available seat is seat 5, so return 5.
seatManager.unreserve(5); // Unreserve seat 5, so now the available seats are [5].


Constraints:
- 1 <= n <= 10^5
- 1 <= seatNumber <= n
- For each call to reserve, it is guaranteed that there will be at least one unreserved seat.
- For each call to unreserve, it is guaranteed that seatNumber will be reserved.
- At most 10^5 calls in total will be made to reserve and unreserve.
## Problem

You are playing a video game where you are defending your city from a group of n monsters. You are given a 0-indexed integer array dist of size n, where dist[i] is the initial distance in kilometers of the ith monster from the city.

The monsters walk toward the city at a constant speed. The speed of each monster is given to you in an integer array speed of size n, where speed[i] is the speed of the ith monster in kilometers per minute.

You have a weapon that, once fully charged, can eliminate a single monster. However, the weapon takes one minute to charge. The weapon is fully charged at the very start.

You lose when any monster reaches your city. If a monster reaches the city at the exact moment the weapon is fully charged, it counts as a loss, and the game ends before you can use your weapon.

Return the maximum number of monsters that you can eliminate before you lose, or n if you can eliminate all the monsters before they reach the city.

## Example 1
Input: dist = [1,3,4], speed = [1,1,1]
Output: 3
Explanation:
In the beginning, the distances of the monsters are [1,3,4]. You eliminate the first monster.
After a minute, the distances of the monsters are [X,2,3]. You eliminate the second monster.
After a minute, the distances of the monsters are [X,X,2]. You eliminate the thrid monster.
All 3 monsters can be eliminated.


## Example 2
Input: dist = [1,1,2,3], speed = [1,1,1,1]
Output: 1
Explanation:
In the beginning, the distances of the monsters are [1,1,2,3]. You eliminate the first monster.
After a minute, the distances of the monsters are [X,0,1,2], so you lose.
You can only eliminate 1 monster.


## Example 3
Input: dist = [3,2,4], speed = [5,3,2]
Output: 1
Explanation:
In the beginning, the distances of the monsters are [3,2,4]. You eliminate the first monster.
After a minute, the distances of the monsters are [X,0,2], so you lose.
You can only eliminate 1 monster.


## Constraints
- n == dist.length == speed.length
- 1 <= n <= 10^5
- 1 <= dist[i], speed[i] <= 10^5

URL: [https://leetcode.com/problems/determine-if-a-cell-is-reachable-at-a-given-time/?envType=daily-question&amp;envId=2023-11-08](https://leetcode.com/problems/determine-if-a-cell-is-reachable-at-a-given-time/?envType=daily-question&amp;envId=2023-11-08)

Text:
You are given four integers sx, sy, fx, fy, and a non-negative integer t.
In an infinite 2D grid, you start at the cell (sx, sy). Each second, you must move to any of its adjacent cells.
Return true if you can reach cell (fx, fy) after exactly t seconds, or false otherwise.
A cell's adjacent cells are the 8 cells around it that share at least one corner with it. You can visit the same cell several times.

Example 1:
Input: sx = 2, sy = 4, fx = 7, fy = 7, t = 6
Output: true
Explanation: Starting at cell (2, 4), we can reach cell (7, 7) in exactly 6 seconds by going through the cells depicted in the picture above.

Example 2:
Input: sx = 3, sy = 1, fx = 7, fy = 3, t = 3
Output: false
Explanation: Starting at cell (3, 1), it takes at least 4 seconds to reach cell (7, 3) by going through the cells depicted in the picture above. Hence, we cannot reach cell (7, 3) at the third second.

Constraints:
- 1 <= sx, sy, fx, fy <= 10^9
- `0 <= t <= 10^9

- "b" appears 2 times.
- "bb" appears 1 time.
- "c" appears 3 times.
- "cc" appears 2 times.
- "ccc" appears 1 time.
Total count: 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 13.

Example 2:
Input: s = "xy"
Output: 2
Explanation: The homogenous substrings are "x" and "y".

Example 3:
Input: s = "zzzzz"
Output: 15

Constraints:
- 1 <= s.length <= 105
- s consists of lowercase letters.

Text: There is an integer array nums that consists of n unique elements, but you have forgotten it. However, you do remember every pair of adjacent elements in nums.

You are given a 2D integer array adjacentPairs of size n - 1 where each adjacentPairs[i] = [ui, vi] indicates that the elements ui and vi are adjacent in nums.

It is guaranteed that every adjacent pair of elements nums[i] and nums[i+1] will exist in adjacentPairs, either as [nums[i], nums[i+1]] or [nums[i+1], nums[i]]. The pairs can appear in any order.

Return the original array nums. If there are multiple solutions, return any of them.

Example 1:
Input: adjacentPairs = [[2,1],[3,4],[3,2]]
Output: [1,2,3,4]
Explanation: This array has all its adjacent pairs in adjacentPairs.
Notice that adjacentPairs[i] may not be in left-to-right order.


Example 2:
Input: adjacentPairs = [[4,-2],[1,4],[-3,1]]
Output: [-2,4,1,-3]
Explanation: There can be negative numbers.
Another solution is [-3,1,4,-2], which would also be accepted.


Example 3:
Input: adjacentPairs = [[100000,-100000]]
Output: [100000,-100000]


Constraints:
- nums.length == n
- adjacentPairs.length == n - 1
- adjacentPairs[i].length == 2
- 2 <= n <= 10^5
- -10^5 <= nums[i], ui, vi <= 10^5

Problem URL: [Design Graph With Shortest Path Calculator - LeetCode](https://leetcode.com/problems/design-graph-with-shortest-path-calculator/?envType=daily-question&amp;envId=2023-11-11)

Text:
There is a directed weighted graph that consists of n nodes numbered from 0 to n - 1. The edges of the graph are initially represented by the given array edges where edges[i] = [fromi, toi, edgeCosti] meaning that there is an edge from fromi to toi with the cost edgeCosti.

Implement the Graph class:
Graph(int n, int[][] edges) - initializes the object with n nodes and the given edges.
addEdge(int[] edge) - adds an edge to the list of edges where edge = [from, to, edgeCost]. It is guaranteed that there is no edge between the two nodes before adding this one.
int shortestPath(int node1, int node2) - returns the minimum cost of a path from node1 to node2. If no path exists, return -1. The cost of a path is the sum of the costs of the edges in the path.

Example:
Input
["Graph", "shortestPath", "shortestPath", "addEdge", "shortestPath"]
[[4, [[0, 2, 5], [0, 1, 2], [1, 2, 1], [3, 0, 3]]], [3, 2], [0, 3], [[1, 3, 4]], [0, 3]]
Output
[null, 6, -1, null, 6]

Explanation
Graph g = new Graph(4, [[0, 2, 5], [0, 1, 2], [1, 2, 1], [3, 0, 3]]);
g.shortestPath(3, 2); // return 6. The shortest path from 3 to 2 in the first diagram above is 3 -> 0 -> 1 -> 2 with a total cost of 3 + 2 + 1 = 6.
g.shortestPath(0, 3); // return -1. There is no path from 0 to 3.
g.addEdge([1, 3, 4]); // We add an edge from node 1 to node 3, and we get the second diagram above.
g.shortestPath(0, 3); // return 6. The shortest path from 0 to 3 now is 0 -> 1 -> 3 with a total cost of 2 + 4 = 6.


Constraints:
- 1 <= n <= 100
- 0 <= edges.length <= n * (n - 1)
- edges[i].length == edge.length == 3
- 0 <= fromi, toi, from, to, node1, node2 <= n - 1
- 1 <= edgeCosti, edgeCost <= 10^6
- There are no repeated edges and no self-loops in the graph at any point.
- At most 100 calls will be made for addEdge.
- At most 100 calls will be made for shortestPath.
Problem URL: [Bus Routes LeetCode](https://leetcode.com/problems/bus-routes/?envType=daily-question&amp;envId=2023-11-12)

Problem Description: You are given an array routes representing bus routes where routes[i] is a bus route that the i`th bus repeats forever. For example, if `routes[0] = [1, 5, 7], this means that the 0th bus travels in the sequence 1 -> 5 -> 7 -> 1 -> 5 -> 7 -> 1 -> ... forever.

You will start at the bus stop source (You are not on any bus initially), and you want to go to the bus stop target. You can travel between bus stops by buses only.

Return the least number of buses you must take to travel from source to target. Return -1 if it is not possible.

Examples:

Example 1:
Input: routes = [[1,2,7],[3,6,7]], source = 1, target = 6
Output: 2
Explanation: The best strategy is to take the first bus to the bus stop 7, then take the second bus to the bus stop 6.


Example 2:
Input: routes = [[7,12],[4,5,15],[6],[15,19],[9,12,13]], source = 15, target = 12
Output: -1


Constraints:
- 1 <= routes.length <= 500
- 1 <= routes[i].length <= 105
- All the values of routes[i] are unique.
- sum(routes[i].length) <= 105
- 0 <= routes[i][j] < 106
- 0 <= source, target < 106
Problem Statement:

Given a 0-indexed string s, permute s to get a new string t such that:
1. All consonants remain in their original places. More formally, if there is an index i with 0 <= i < s.length such that s[i] is a consonant, then t[i] = s[i].
2. The vowels must be sorted in the non-decreasing order of their ASCII values. More formally, for pairs of indices i and j with 0 <= i < j < s.length such that s[i] and s[j] are vowels, then t[i] must not have a higher ASCII value than t[j].
Return the resulting string.

The vowels are 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', and 'u', and they can appear in lowercase or uppercase. Consonants comprise all letters that are not vowels.

Example 1:

Input: s = "lEetcOde"

Output: "lEOtcede"

Explanation: 'E', 'O', and 'e' are the vowels in s; 'l', 't', 'c', and 'd' are all consonants. The vowels are sorted according to their ASCII values, and the consonants remain in the same places.

Example 2:

Input: s = "lYmpH"

Output: "lYmpH"

Explanation: There are no vowels in s (all characters in s are consonants), so we return "lYmpH".

Constraints:

1 <= s.length <= 105

s consists only of letters of the English alphabet in uppercase and lowercase.

Text: Given a string s, return the number of unique palindromes of length three that are a subsequence of s.

Note that even if there are multiple ways to obtain the same subsequence, it is still only counted once.

A palindrome is a string that reads the same forwards and backwards.

A subsequence of a string is a new string generated from the original string with some characters (can be none) deleted without changing the relative order of the remaining characters.

For example, "ace" is a subsequence of "abcde".

Example 1:

Input: s = "aabca"

Output: 3

Explanation: The 3 palindromic subsequences of length 3 are:
- "aba" (subsequence of "aabca")
- "aaa" (subsequence of "aabca")
- "aca" (subsequence of "aabca")

Example 2:

Input: s = "adc"

Output: 0

Explanation: There are no palindromic subsequences of length 3 in "adc".

Example 3:

Input: s = "bbcbaba"

Output: 4

Explanation: The 4 palindromic subsequences of length 3 are:
- "bbb" (subsequence of "bbcbaba")
- "bcb" (subsequence of "bbcbaba")
- "bab" (subsequence of "bbcbaba")
- "aba" (subsequence of "bbcbaba")

Constraints:

- 3 <= s.length <= 105
- s consists of only lowercase English letters.

Problem Statement

You are given an array of positive integers arr. Perform some operations (possibly none) on arr so that it satisfies these conditions:

1. The value of the first element in arr must be 1.
2. The absolute difference between any two adjacent elements must be less than or equal to 1. In other words, abs(arr[i] - arr[i - 1]) <= 1 for each i where 1 <= i < arr.length (0-indexed). abs(x) is the absolute value of x.

There are 2 types of operations that you can perform any number of times:

1. Decrease the value of any element of arr to a smaller positive integer.
2. Rearrange the elements of arr to be in any order.

Return the maximum possible value of an element in arr after performing the operations to satisfy the conditions.

Example 1

Input: arr = [2,2,1,2,1]

Output: 2

Explanation: We can satisfy the conditions by rearranging arr so it becomes [1,2,2,2,1]. The largest element in arr is 2.

Example 2

Input: arr = [100,1,1000]

Output: 3

Explanation: One possible way to satisfy the conditions is by doing the following:

1. Rearrange arr so it becomes [1,100,1000].
2. Decrease the value of the second element to 2.
3. Decrease the value of the third element to 3.

Now arr = [1,2,3], which satisfies the conditions. The largest element in arr is 3.

Example 3

Input: arr = [1,2,3,4,5]

Output: 5

Explanation: The array already satisfies the conditions, and the largest element is 5.

Constraints

1 <= arr.length <= 10^5

1 <= arr[i] <= 10^9

Problem Description

You are given an array garbage representing the assortment of garbage at each house. Each element in garbage consists of characters 'M', 'P', and 'G' representing one unit of metal, paper, and glass garbage, respectively. Picking up one unit of any type of garbage takes 1 minute.

You are also given an array travel representing the number of minutes needed to go from each house to the next.

There are three garbage trucks in the city, each responsible for picking up one type of garbage. Each garbage truck starts at house 0 and must visit each house in order. However, they do not need to visit every house.

Only one garbage truck may be used at any given moment. While one truck is driving or picking up garbage, the other two trucks cannot do anything.

Return the minimum number of minutes needed to pick up all the garbage.

Examples:

Example 1:
Input: garbage = ["G","P","GP","GG"], travel = [2,4,3]
Output: 21
Explanation:
The paper garbage truck:
1. Travels from house 0 to house 1
2. Collects the paper garbage at house 1
3. Travels from house 1 to house 2
4. Collects the paper garbage at house 2
Altogether, it takes 8 minutes to pick up all the paper garbage.
The glass garbage truck:
1. Collects the glass garbage at house 0
2. Travels from house 0 to house 1
3. Travels from house 1 to house 2
4. Collects the glass garbage at house 2
5. Travels from house 2 to house 3
6. Collects the glass garbage at house 3
Altogether, it takes 13 minutes to pick up all the glass garbage.
Since there is no metal garbage, we do not need to consider the metal garbage truck.
Therefore, it takes a total of 8 + 13 = 21 minutes to collect all the garbage.


Example 2:
Input: garbage = ["MMM","PGM","GP"], travel = [3,10]
Output: 37
Explanation:
The metal garbage truck takes 7 minutes to pick up all the metal garbage.
The paper garbage truck takes 15 minutes to pick up all the paper garbage.
The glass garbage truck takes 15 minutes to pick up all the glass garbage.
It takes a total of 7 + 15 + 15 = 37 minutes to collect all the garbage.


Constraints:

- 2 ≤ garbage.length ≤ 10^5
- garbage[i] consists of only the letters 'M', 'P', and 'G'
- 1 ≤ garbage[i].length ≤ 10
- travel.length = garbage.length - 1
- 1 ≤ travel[i] ≤ 100

*Output:* 2
*Explanation:* The two pairs are:
- (0,3): 42 + rev(97) = 42 + 79 = 121, 97 + rev(42) = 97 + 24 = 121.
- (1,2): 11 + rev(1) = 11 + 1 = 12, 1 + rev(11) = 1 + 11 = 12.

Example 2:

Text:

A sequence of numbers is called arithmetic if it consists of at least two elements, and the difference between every two consecutive elements is the same. More formally, a sequence s is arithmetic if and only if s[i+1] - s[i] == s[1] - s[0] for all valid i.

For example, these are arithmetic sequences:

1, 3, 5, 7, 9

7, 7, 7, 7

3, -1, -5, -9

The following sequence is not arithmetic:

1, 1, 2, 5, 7

You are given an array of n integers, nums, and two arrays of m integers each, l and r, representing the m range queries, where the ith query is the range [l[i], r[i]]. All the arrays are 0-indexed.

Return a list of boolean elements answer, where answer[i] is true if the subarray nums[l[i]], nums[l[i]+1], ... , nums[r[i]] can be rearranged to form an arithmetic sequence, and false otherwise.

Example 1:

Input:

nums = [4,6,5,9,3,7], 
l = [0,0,2],
r = [2,3,5]


Output:

[true,false,true]


Explanation:

In the 0th query, the subarray is [4,6,5]. This can be rearranged as [6,5,4], which is an arithmetic sequence.

In the 1st query, the subarray is [4,6,5,9]. This cannot be rearranged as an arithmetic sequence.

In the 2nd query, the subarray is [5,9,3,7]. This can be rearranged as [3,5,7,9], which is an arithmetic sequence.

Example 2:

Input:

nums = [-12,-9,-3,-12,-6,15,20,-25,-20,-15,-10], 
l = [0,1,6,4,8,7],
r = [4,4,9,7,9,10]


Output:

[false,true,false,false,true,true]


Constraints:

- n == nums.length
- m == l.length
- m == r.length
- 2 <= n <= 500
- 1 <= m <= 500
- 0 <= l[i] < r[i] < n
- -105 <= nums[i] <= 10^5
# Problem Statement

Problem URL: [Maximum Number of Coins You Can Get](https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-number-of-coins-you-can-get/?envType=daily-question&amp;envId=2023-11-24)

There are 3n piles of coins of varying size. You and your friends will take piles of coins as follows:

- In each step, you will choose any 3 piles of coins (not necessarily consecutive).
- Of your choice, Alice will pick the pile with the maximum number of coins.
- You will pick the next pile with the maximum number of coins.
- Your friend Bob will pick the last pile.
- Repeat this process until there are no more piles of coins.

Given an array of integers piles where piles[i] is the number of coins in the i-th pile, return the maximum number of coins that you can have.

## Example 1:

Input: piles = [2,4,1,2,7,8]

Output: 9

Explanation:

- Choose the triplet (2, 7, 8), Alice picks the pile with 8 coins, you pick the pile with 7 coins, and Bob picks the last one.
- Choose the triplet (1, 2, 4), Alice picks the pile with 4 coins, you pick the pile with 2 coins, and Bob picks the last one.
- The maximum number of coins which you can have are: 7 + 2 = 9.

On the other hand, if we choose the arrangement (1, 2, 8), (2, 4, 7), you only get 2 + 4 = 6 coins, which is not optimal.

## Example 2:

Input: piles = [2,4,5]

Output: 4

## Example 3:

Input: piles = [9,8,7,6,5,1,2,3,4]

Output: 18

## Constraints:

- 3 <= piles.length <= 10^5
- piles.length % 3 == 0
- 1 <= piles[i] <= 10^4
