Hi there 👋

The problem Write a function to find the longest common prefix string amongst an array of strings. If there is no common prefix, return an empty string "". Example 1: Input: strs = ["flower","flow","flight"] Output: "fl" Example 2: Input: strs = ["dog","racecar","car"] Output: "" Explanation: There is no common prefix among the input strings. Constraints: 1 <= strs.length <= 200 0 <= strs[i].length <= 200 strs[i] consists of only lowercase English letters if it is non-empty. Explanation I’m trying to add a little bit of life to my posts, so I decided to lay down some thought process behind the solution. Please go easy on me. ...

The problem Given an array of integers nums, sort the array in ascending order and return it. You must solve the problem without using any built-in functions in O(nlog(n)) time complexity and with the smallest space complexity possible. Example 1: Input: nums = [5,2,3,1] Output: [1,2,3,5] Explanation: After sorting the array, the positions of some numbers are not changed (for example, 2 and 3), while the positions of other numbers are changed (for example, 1 and 5). Example 2: ...

The problem Given an array nums of size n, return the majority element. The majority element is the element that appears more than ⌊n / 2⌋ times. You may assume that the majority element always exists in the array. Example 1: Input: nums = [3,2,3] Output: 3 Example 2: Input: nums = [2,2,1,1,1,2,2] Output: 2 Constraints: n == nums.length 1 <= n <= 5 * 10^4 -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9 The input is generated such that a majority element will exist in the array. ...

The problem Design a HashMap without using any built-in hash table libraries. Implement the MyHashMap class: MyHashMap() initializes the object with an empty map. void put(int key, int value) inserts a (key, value) pair into the HashMap. If the key already exists in the map, update the corresponding value. int get(int key) returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or -1 if this map contains no mapping for the key. ...

The problem Design a HashSet without using any built-in hash table libraries. Implement MyHashSet class: void add(key) Inserts the value key into the HashSet. bool contains(key) Returns whether the value key exists in the HashSet. void remove(key) Removes the value key from the HashSet. If key does not exist in the HashSet, do nothing. Example 1: Input ["MyHashSet", "add", "add", "contains", "contains", "add", "contains", "remove", "contains"] [[], [1], [2], [1], [3], [2], [2], [2], [2]] Output [null, null, null, true, false, null, true, null, false] Explanation MyHashSet myHashSet = new MyHashSet(); myHashSet.add(1); // set = [1] myHashSet.add(2); // set = [1, 2] myHashSet.contains(1); // return True myHashSet.contains(3); // return False, (not found) myHashSet.add(2); // set = [1, 2] myHashSet.contains(2); // return True myHashSet.remove(2); // set = [1] myHashSet.contains(2); // return False, (already removed) Constraints: ...
