LeetCode - Subarray Sum Equals K
The problem Given an array of integers nums and an integer k, return the total number of subarrays whose sum equals k. A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array. Example 1: Input: nums = [1,1,1], k = 2 Output: 2 Example 2: Input: nums = [1,2,3], k = 3 Output: 2 Constraints: 1 <= nums.length <= 2 * 10^4 -1000 <= nums[i] <= 1000 -10^7 <= k <= 10^7 Explanation Even without visualization, you can see that each of the given examples has two subarrays that can sum up to k. ...
LeetCode - Longest Common Prefix
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. ...
LeetCode - Sort an Array
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: ...
LeetCode - Majority Element
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. ...
LeetCode - Design HashMap
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. ...
