Intersection of Two Linked Lists

Intersection of Two Linked Lists

Write a program to find the node at which the intersection of two singly linked lists
begins.

For example, the following two linked lists:

A: a1 → a2 ↘ c1 → c2 → c3 ↗
B: b1 → b2 → b3 begin to intersect at node c1.

Notes:

If the two linked lists have no intersection at all, return null. The linked lists must
retain their original structure after the function returns. You may assume there are
no cycles anywhere in the entire linked structure. Your code should preferably run
in O(n) time and use only O(1) memory.

Trees

Serialization is the process of converting a data structure or object into a

sequence of bits so that it can be stored in a file or memory buffer, or transmitted
across a network connection link to be reconstructed later in the same or another
computer environment.

Design an algorithm to serialize and deserialize a binary tree. There is no

restriction on how your serialization/deserialization algorithm should work. You just
need to ensure that a binary tree can be serialized to a string and this string can
be deserialized to the original tree structure.

For example, you may serialize the following tree

1
/ \
2 3
/ \
4 5

as

"[1,2,3,null,null,4,5]"

, just the same as

how LeetCode OJ serializes a binary tree

. You do not necessarily need to follow this format, so please be creative and
come up with different approaches yourself.

Note:Do not use class member/global/static variables to store states. Your

serialize and deserialize algorithms should be stateless.

memory, where h is the height of the tree.

Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary

Search Tree
Given a binary search tree (BST), find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two
given nodes in the BST.

According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is

defined between two nodes v and w as the lowest node in T that has both v and w
as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”

and 8 is 6. Another example is LCA of nodes 2 and 4 is 2, since a node can be a
descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.

Sum Root to Leaf Numbers

Sum Root to Leaf Numbers

Given a binary tree containing digits from 0-9 only, each root-to-leaf path could
represent a number.

An example is the root-to-leaf path 1->2->3 which represents the number 123.

Find the total sum of all root-to-leaf numbers.

For example,

/ \ 2 3 The root-to-leaf path 1->2 represents the number 12. The root-to-leaf path
1->3 represents the number 13.

Return the sum = 12 + 13 = 25.

House Robber III

The thief has found himself a new place for his thievery again. There is only one
entrance to this area, called the "root." Besides the root, each house has one and
only one parent house. After a tour, the smart thief realized that "all houses in this
place forms a binary tree". It will automatically contact the police if two directly-
linked houses were broken into on the same night.

Determine the maximum amount of money the thief can rob tonight without
alerting the police.

Example 1: 3 / \ 2 3 \ \ 3 1 Maximum amount of money the thief can rob = 3 + 3 +

1 = 7. Example 2: 3 / \ 4 5 / \ \ 1 3 1 Maximum amount of money the thief can rob

There are a total of n courses you have to take, labeled from 0 to n - 1.

Given the total number of courses and a list of prerequisite pairs, is it possible for

For example:

2, [[1,0]] There are a total of 2 courses to take. To take course 1 you should have
finished course 0. So it is possible.

2, [[1,0],[0,1]] There are a total of 2 courses to take. To take course 1 you should
have finished course 0, and to take course 0 you should also have finished course
1. So it is impossible.

Graph Valid Tree

Graph Valid Tree

Given n nodes labeled from 0 to n - 1 and a list of undirected edges (each edge is
a pair of nodes), write a function to check whether these edges make up a valid
tree.

For example:

Given n = 5 and edges = [[0, 1], [0, 2], [0, 3], [1, 4]], return true.

Given n = 5 and edges = [[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [1, 3], [1, 4]], return false.

Hint:

Given n = 5 and edges = [[0, 1], [1, 2], [3, 4]], what should your return? Is this case
a valid tree? According to the definition of tree on Wikipedia: “a tree is an
undirected graph in which any two vertices are connected by exactly one path. In
other words, any connected graph without simple cycles is a tree.”

There are a total of n courses you have to take, labeled from 0 to n - 1.

Given the total number of courses and a list of prerequisite pairs, return the

impossible to finish all courses, return an empty array.

For example:

finished course 0. So the correct course order is [0,1]

4, [[1,0],[2,0],[3,1],[3,2]] There are a total of 4 courses to take. To take course 3

you should have finished both courses 1 and 2. Both courses 1 and 2 should be

Number of Islands

Number of Islands
Given a 2d grid map of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of islands. An
island is surrounded by water and is formed by connecting adjacent lands
horizontally or vertically. You may assume all four edges of the grid are all
surrounded by water.

Example 1:

The function twoSum should return indices of the two numbers such that they add
up to the target, where index1 must be less than index2. Please note that your
returned answers (both index1 and index2) are not zero-based.

You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution.

2 Sum III
Design and implement a TwoSum class. It should support the following
operations: add and find.

add - Add the number to an internal data structure. find - Find if there exists any
pair of numbers which sum is equal to the value.

Rotate Array
Rotate an array of n elements to the right by k steps.

For example, with n = 7 and k = 3, the array [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] is rotated to

[5,6,7,1,2,3,4].

Note: Try to come up as many solutions as you can, there are at least 3 different

Given an array of n integers nums and a target, find the number of index triplets i,

Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock

Say you have an array for which the ith element is the price of a given stock on
day i.

If you were only permitted to complete at most one transaction (ie, buy one and

Example 1: Input: [7, 1, 5, 3, 6, 4] Output: 5

max. difference = 6-1 = 5 (not 7-1 = 6, as selling price needs to be larger than
buying price) Example 2: Input: [7, 6, 4, 3, 1] Output: 0

In this case, no transaction is done, i.e. max profit = 0.

Have you thought about this? Here are some good questions to ask before
coding. Bonus points for you if you have already thought through this!

If the integer's last digit is 0, what should the output be? ie, cases such as 10,
100.

Did you notice that the reversed integer might overflow? Assume the input is a 32-
bit integer, then the reverse of 1000000003 overflows. How should you handle
such cases?

For the purpose of this problem, assume that your function returns 0 when the
reversed integer overflows.

round, you only toggle the last bulb. Find how many bulbs are on after n rounds.

Given n = 3.

Spiral Matrix II

Spiral Matrix II
Given an integer n, generate a square matrix filled with elements from 1 to n2 in
spiral order.

For example, Given n = 3,

You should return the following matrix: [ [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 8, 9, 4 ], [ 7, 6, 5 ] ]

LRU Cache

LRU Cache

Design and implement a data structure for Least Recently Used (LRU) cache. It
should support the following operations: get and set .

get(key) - Get the value (will always be positive) of the key if the key exists in
the cache, otherwise return -1.
set(key, value) - Set or insert the value if the key is not already present.
When the cache reached its capacity, it should invalidate the least recently used
item before inserting a new item.
