The problem Given an unsorted integer array nums. Return the smallest positive integer that is not present in nums. You must implement an algorithm that runs in O(n) time and uses O(1) auxiliary space. Example 1: Input: nums = [1,2,0] Output: 3 Explanation: The numbers in the range [1,2] are all in the array. Example 2: Input: nums = [3,4,-1,1] Output: 2 Explanation: 1 is in the array but 2 is missing. Example 3: ...
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. ...
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. ...
