use binary search. class Solution { public: bool isPerfectSquare(int num) { int l = 1; int r = num; while(l <= r) { long mid = l + (r - l) / 2; long prod = mid * mid; if(prod == num) return true; else if(prod < num) l = mid + 1; else r = mid - 1; } return false; } };

224. Basic Calculator Implement a basic calculator to evaluate a simple expression string. The expression string may contain open ( and closing parentheses ), the plus + or minus sign -, non-negative integers and empty spaces . Input: "(1+(4+5+2)-3)+(6+8)" Output: 23

use operator and num stacks. class Solution { private: stack<int> s; stack<char> opS; public: int calculate(string str) { int len = str.length(); for(int i = 0; i < len; i ++) { if(isdigit(str[i])) { int num = 0; while(i < len && isdigit(str[i])) { num = num * 10 - '0' + str[i]; i ++; } i --; s.push(num); } else if(str[i] == '(') { opS.push(str[i]); } else if(str[i] == '+' || str[i] == '-') { while(!opS.empty() && opS.top() != '(') { calc(); } opS.push(str[i]); } else if(str[i] == ')') { while(opS.top() != '(') { calc(); } opS.pop(); } } while(! opS.empty()) { calc(); } return s.top(); } void calc() { int v1 = s.top(); s.pop(); int v2 = s.top(); s.pop(); char op = opS.top(); opS.pop(); int val = op == '+'? v1 + v2: v2 - v1; s.push(val); } };

372. Super Pow Your task is to calculate ab mod 1337 where a is a positive integer and b is an extremely large positive integer given in the form of an array. Input: a = 2, b = [1,0] Output: 1024

use recursion to calc first size-1 array result. use pow(result, 10) * pow(a, b). class Solution { public: int superPow(int a, vector<int>& b) { a %= 1337; int size = b.size(); if(size == 0) return 1; vector<int> left(b.begin(), b.begin() + size - 1); int newBase = superPow(a, left); int res = calc(newBase, 10) * calc(a, b.back()) % 1337; return res; } int calc(int num, int val) { long res = 1; while(val > 0) { if(val % 2 == 1) { res = res * num % 1337; } val /= 2; num = num * num % 1337; } return res; } };

60. Permutation Sequence The set [1,2,3,...,n] contains a total of n! unique permutations. By listing and labeling all of the permutations in order, we get the following sequence for n = 3: "123" "132" "213" "231" "312" "321" Given n and k, return the kth permutation sequence.

we can get array to record how many sequences can be formed using n nums, and use k divide the nums to get index. class Solution { private: vector<int> arr; public: string getPermutation(int n, int k) { arr = vector<int>(n); getArr(n); string res = ""; vector<int> nums; for(int i = 1; i<= n; i ++) nums.push_back(i); for(int i = n-1; i >= 0; i --) { int ind = (k - 1) / arr[i]; k -= ind * arr[i]; res += nums[ind] + '0'; nums.erase(nums.begin() + ind); } return res; } void getArr(int n) { arr[0] = 1; for(int i = 1; i < n; i ++) { arr[i] = arr[i-1] * i; } } };

279. Perfect Squares Given a positive integer n, find the least number of perfect square numbers (for example, 1, 4, 9, 16, ...) which sum to n. Example 1: Input: n = 12 Output: 3 Explanation: 12 = 4 + 4 + 4.

we collect all the sqare values and put into array. use recursion to get the min num. class Solution { private: vector<int> arr; int res = INT_MAX; public: int numSquares(int n) { for(int i = int(sqrt(n)); i >= 1; i --) { arr.push_back(i * i); } solve(n, 0); return res; } void solve(int num, int count) { if(count >= res) return; if(num < 0) return; if(num == 0) { if(count < res) res = count; return; } for(auto& val: arr) { if(val <= num) { int tmp = num / val; solve(num - val * tmp, count + tmp); } } } };

248. Strobogrammatic Number III Write a function to count the total strobogrammatic numbers that exist in the range of low <= num <= high. Example: Input: low = "50", high = "100" Output: 3

we get the center, and expand the string. class Solution { private: map<string, string> pairs = {{"0", "0"}, {"1", "1"}, {"6", "9"}, {"8", "8"}, {"9", "6"}}; int count = 0; int m; int n; public: int strobogrammaticInRange(string low, string high) { vector<string> centers = {"", "0", "1", "8"}; m = low.length(); n = high.length(); for(auto& center: centers) { if(isLarger(center, low, high)) break; getResult(center, low, high); } return count; } void getResult(string s, string low, string high) { for(auto& [s1, s2]: pairs) { string ss = s1 + s + s2; if(isLarger(ss, low, high)) return; getResult(ss, low, high); } } bool isLarger(string s, string low, string high) { int len = s.length(); if(len > n || (len == n && s > high)) return true; if(len > m || (len == m && s >= low)) { if(len == 1 || s[0] != '0') count ++; } return false; } };

413. Arithmetic Slices A sequence of number is called arithmetic if it consists of at least three elements and if the difference between any two consecutive elements is the same. For example, these are arithmetic sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 A zero-indexed array A consisting of N numbers is given. A slice of that array is any pair of integers (P, Q) such that 0 <= P < Q < N. A slice (P, Q) of array A is called arithmetic if the sequence: A[P], A[p + 1], ..., A[Q - 1], A[Q] is arithmetic. In particular, this means that P + 1 < Q. A = [1, 2, 3, 4] return: 3, for 3 arithmetic slices in A: [1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4] and [1, 2, 3, 4] itself.

we keep track the previous diff and count. if current diff is different, add to count. class Solution { public: int numberOfArithmeticSlices(vector<int>& A) { int size = A.size(); if(size < 3) return 0; vector<int> arr(size, 1); int diff = INT_MAX; int count = 1; int res = 0; for(int i = 1; i < size; i ++) { int val = A[i] - A[i-1]; if(val == diff) count ++; else { if(count >= 3) res += (count - 1) * (count - 2) / 2; count = 2; diff = val; } } if(count >= 3) res += (count - 1) * (count - 2) / 2; return res; } };

13. Roman to Integer I can be placed before V (5) and X (10) to make 4 and 9. X can be placed before L (50) and C (100) to make 40 and 90. C can be placed before D (500) and M (1000) to make 400 and 900.

we need to store the priority and the mapped value. class Solution { private: unordered_map<char, pair<int,int>> charMap; public: int romanToInt(string s) { buildMap(); int res = 0; int len = s.length(); for(int i = 0; i < len; i++) { if(i + 1 < len && charMap[s[i]].first < charMap[s[i+1]].first) { res += charMap[s[i+1]].second - charMap[s[i]].second; i ++; } else res += charMap[s[i]].second; } return res; } void buildMap() { int prio = 0; charMap['I'] = pair(prio ++, 1); charMap['V'] = pair(prio ++, 5); charMap['X'] = pair(prio ++, 10); charMap['L'] = pair(prio ++, 50); charMap['C'] = pair(prio ++, 100); charMap['D'] = pair(prio ++, 500); charMap['M'] = pair(prio ++, 1000); } };

396. Rotate Function Given an array of integers A and let n to be its length. Assume Bk to be an array obtained by rotating the array A k positions clock-wise, we define a "rotation function" F on A as follow: F(k) = 0 * Bk[0] + 1 * Bk[1] + ... + (n-1) * Bk[n-1] A = [4, 3, 2, 6] F(0) = (0 * 4) + (1 * 3) + (2 * 2) + (3 * 6) = 0 + 3 + 4 + 18 = 25 F(1) = (0 * 6) + (1 * 4) + (2 * 3) + (3 * 2) = 0 + 4 + 6 + 6 = 16 F(2) = (0 * 2) + (1 * 6) + (2 * 4) + (3 * 3) = 0 + 6 + 8 + 9 = 23 F(3) = (0 * 3) + (1 * 2) + (2 * 6) + (3 * 4) = 0 + 2 + 12 + 12 = 26

we observe and get the regulation during operation. Every time rotation happens, last element moves to first. sum - lastElement added, (size-1) * lastElement minus. class Solution { public: int maxRotateFunction(vector<int>& A) { int size = A.size(); if(size == 0) return 0; long sum = 0; for(auto& num: A) sum += num; int res = 0; for(int i = 0; i < size; i ++) { res += i * A[i]; } int val = res; for(int i = size -1; i >= 0; i --) { val = val + (sum - A[i]) - (size - 1) * A[i]; res = max(res, val); } return res; } };

368. Largest Divisible Subset Given a set of distinct positive integers, find the largest subset such that every pair (Si, Sj) of elements in this subset satisfies: Si % Sj = 0 or Sj % Si = 0. Input: [1,2,4,8] Output: [1,2,4,8]

we sort array. then keep track the len for current index. class Solution { public: vector<int> largestDivisibleSubset(vector<int>& nums) { int size = nums.size(); if(size == 0) return {}; vector<int> counts(size, 1); vector<int> prev(size, -1); sort(nums.begin(), nums.end()); int res = 1; int ind = 0; for(int i = 1; i < size; i ++) { int maxCount = 1; int val = nums[i]; for(int j = 0; j < i; j ++) { if(nums[i] % nums[j] == 0 && counts[j] + 1 > maxCount) { maxCount = counts[j] + 1; prev[i] = j; } } counts[i] = maxCount; if(maxCount > res) { res = maxCount; ind = i; } } vector<int> ans; while(ind != -1) { ans.insert(ans.begin(), nums[ind]); ind = prev[ind]; } return ans; } };

12. Integer to Roman I can be placed before V (5) and X (10) to make 4 and 9. X can be placed before L (50) and C (100) to make 40 and 90. C can be placed before D (500) and M (1000) to make 400 and 900.

we use array of array to store the conversion. use helper function to do the map. class Solution { private: vector<vector<char> > chars = { {'I', 'V'}, {'X', 'L'}, {'C', 'D'}, {'M'} }; vector<int> digits; public: string intToRoman(int num) { while(num > 0) { digits.push_back(num % 10); num /= 10; } return solve(); } string solve() { int size = digits.size(); string res = ""; for(int i = size-1; i >= 0; i --) { int val = digits[i]; if(val == 4) { res += chars[i][0]; res += chars[i][1]; } else if(val == 9) { res += chars[i][0]; res += chars[i + 1][0]; } else if(val < 4) { for(int j = 0; j < val; j ++) { res += chars[i][0]; } } else { res += chars[i][1]; for(int j = 0; j < val - 5; j ++) { res += chars[i][0]; } } } return res; } };

343. Integer Break Given a positive integer n, break it into the sum of at least two positive integers and maximize the product of those integers. Return the maximum product you can get. Input: 10 Output: 36 Explanation: 10 = 3 + 3 + 4, 3 × 3 × 4 = 36.

we use dp. calc and compare i * (n-i), i * arr[n-i] arrr[i] * (n - i) arr[i] * (n - i) class Solution { public: int integerBreak(int n) { vector<int> arr(n + 1); arr[1] = arr[2] = 1; for(int i = 3; i <= n; i ++) { int maxVal = 0; for(int l = 1; l <= (i + 1) / 2; l ++) { int r = i - l; maxVal = max(maxVal, l * r); maxVal = max(maxVal, l * (arr[r])); maxVal = max(maxVal, arr[l] * r); maxVal = max(maxVal, arr[l] * arr[r]); } arr[i] = maxVal; } return arr[n]; } };

360. Sort Transformed Array Given a sorted array of integers nums and integer values a, b and c. Apply a quadratic function of the form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c to each element x in the array. The returned array must be in sorted order. Input: nums = [-4,-2,2,4], a = 1, b = 3, c = 5 Output: [3,9,15,33]

we use two pointers left and right, there are 4 cases: 1. a > 0: edge values are always larger, start from size-1, keep decreasing res index. 2. a < 0: edge values are always smaller, start from 0, keep increasing index. 3. a==0, b < 0: store larger values first, start form size-1, decreasing 4. a== 0, b >= 0: store smaller values first, start from 0, increasing class Solution { public: vector<int> sortTransformedArray(vector<int>& nums, int a, int b, int c) { int size = nums.size(); if(size == 0) return {}; int l = 0; int r = size - 1; int dir, k; if(a < 0 || (a == 0 && b >= 0)) { //get smaller end values and store in res dir = 1; k = 0; } else if(a > 0 || (a == 0 && b < 0)) { //get larger end values and store in res dir = -1; k = size - 1; } int v1 = getVal(a, b, c, nums[l]); int v2 = getVal(a, b, c, nums[r]); vector<int> res(size); while(l <= r){ if( (dir < 0 && v1 >= v2) || (dir > 0 && v1 <= v2) ) { res[k] = v1; l ++; if(l < size) v1 = getVal(a, b, c, nums[l]); } else { res[k] = v2; r --; if( r >= 0) v2 = getVal(a, b, c, nums[r]); } k += dir; } return res; } int getVal(int a, int b, int c, int val) { return a * val * val + b * val + c; } };

264. Ugly Number II Ugly numbers are positive numbers whose prime factors only include 2, 3, 5. Example: Input: n = 10 Output: 12 Explanation: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 is the sequence of the first 10 ugly numbers.

when we already got nums with len k, with last 2 multiply nums[i], last 3 multiply nums[j], ... we record the index. class Solution { public: int nthUglyNumber(int n) { if(n == 1) return 1; vector<int> res(n); res[0] = 1; vector<pair<int,int>> factors; factors.push_back(pair(2, 0)); factors.push_back(pair(3, 0)); factors.push_back(pair(5, 0)); for(int i = 1; i < n; i ++) { int minVal = factors[0].first * res[factors[0].second]; for(int j = 1; j < 3; j ++) minVal = min(minVal, factors[j].first * res[factors[j].second]); res[i] = minVal; for(int j = 0; j < 3; j ++) { if(minVal == factors[j].first * res[factors[j].second]) factors[j].second ++; } } return res[n-1]; } };
