Weekly Contest 287 LeetCode Solution

Problem 1 – Minimum Number of Operations to Convert Time Leetcode Solution

You are given two strings current and correct representing two 24-hour times.

24-hour times are formatted as "HH:MM", where HH is between 00 and 23, and MM is between 00 and 59. The earliest 24-hour time is 00:00, and the latest is 23:59.

In one operation you can increase the time current by 1515, or 60 minutes. You can perform this operation any number of times.

Return the minimum number of operations needed to convert current to correct.

Example 1:

Input: current = "02:30", correct = "04:35"
Output: 3
Explanation:
We can convert current to correct in 3 operations as follows:
- Add 60 minutes to current. current becomes "03:30".
- Add 60 minutes to current. current becomes "04:30".
- Add 5 minutes to current. current becomes "04:35".
It can be proven that it is not possible to convert current to correct in fewer than 3 operations.

Example 2:

Input: current = "11:00", correct = "11:01"
Output: 1
Explanation: We only have to add one minute to current, so the minimum number of operations needed is 1.

Constraints:

  • current and correct are in the format "HH:MM"
  • current <= correct

    };
    int d = toMin(correct) - toMin(current);
    return d / 60 + d % 60 / 15 + d % 15 / 5 + d % 5;
}

Minimum Number of Operations to Convert Time Leetcode Solution in Python

class Solution:
    def convertTime(self, current: str, correct: str) -> int:
        current_time = 60 * int(current[0:2]) + int(current[3:5]) # Current time in minutes
        target_time = 60 * int(correct[0:2]) + int(correct[3:5]) # Target time in minutes
        diff = target_time - current_time # Difference b/w current and target times in minutes
        count = 0 # Required number of operations
		# Use GREEDY APPROACH to calculate number of operations
        for i in [60, 15, 5, 1]:
            count += diff // i # add number of operations needed with i to count
            diff %= i # Diff becomes modulo of diff with i
        return count

Minimum Number of Operations to Convert Time Leetcode Solution in Java

 public int convertTime(String current, String correct){
        Function<String, Integer> parse = t -> Integer.parseInt(t.substring(0, 2)) * 60 + Integer.parseInt(t.substring(3));
        int diff = parse.apply(correct) - parse.apply(current), ops[] = {60, 15, 5, 1}, r = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < ops.length && diff > 0; diff = diff % ops[i++])
            r += diff / ops[i];
        return r;
    }

Problem 2 – Find Players With Zero or One Losses Leetcode Solution

You are given an integer array matches where matches[i] = [winneri, loseri] indicates that the player winneri defeated player loseri in a match.

Return a list answer of size 2 where:

  • answer[0] is a list of all players that have not lost any matches.
  • answer[1] is a list of all players that have lost exactly one match.

The values in the two lists should be returned in increasing order.

Note:

  • You should only consider the players that have played at least one match.
  • The testcases will be generated such that no two matches will have the same outcome.

Example 1:

Input: matches = [[1,3],[2,3],[3,6],[5,6],[5,7],[4,5],[4,8],[4,9],[10,4],[10,9]]
Output: [[1,2,10],[4,5,7,8]]
Explanation:
Players 1, 2, and 10 have not lost any matches.
Players 4, 5, 7, and 8 each have lost one match.
Players 3, 6, and 9 each have lost two matches.
Thus, answer[0] = [1,2,10] and answer[1] = [4,5,7,8].

Example 2:

Input: matches = [[2,3],[1,3],[5,4],[6,4]]
Output: [[1,2,5,6],[]]
Explanation:
Players 1, 2, 5, and 6 have not lost any matches.
Players 3 and 4 each have lost two matches.
Thus, answer[0] = [1,2,5,6] and answer[1] = [].

Constraints:

  • 1 <= matches.length <= 105
  • matches[i].length == 2
  • 1 <= winneri, loseri <= 105
  • winneri != loseri
  • All matches[i] are unique.

        }
        List<List<Integer>> r = Arrays.asList(new ArrayList<>(), new ArrayList<>());
        for(Integer player : losses.keySet())
            if(losses.get(player) <= 1)
                r.get(losses.get(player)).add(player);
        return r;
    }

class Solution:
    def findWinners(self, matches: List[List[int]]) -> List[List[int]]:
        winners, losers, table = [], [], {}
        for winner, loser in matches:
            # map[key] = map.get(key, 0) + change . This format ensures that KEY NOT FOUND error is always prevented.
            # map.get(key, 0) returns map[key] if key exists and 0 if it does not.
            table[winner] = table.get(winner, 0)  # Winner
            table[loser] = table.get(loser, 0) + 1
        for k, v in table.items(): # Player k with losses v
            if v == 0:
                winners.append(k) # If player k has no loss ie v == 0
            if v == 1:
                losers.append(k) # If player k has one loss ie v == 1
        return [sorted(winners), sorted(losers)] # Problem asked to return sorted arrays.

    for (auto &m : matches) {
        all.insert({m[0], m[1]});
        if (!l.insert(m[1]).second)
            l2.insert(m[1]);
    }
    set_difference(begin(all), end(all), begin(l), end(l), back_inserter(a0));
    set_difference(begin(l), end(l), begin(l2), end(l2), back_inserter(a1));
    return {a0, a1};
}

Problem 3 – Maximum Candies Allocated to K Children Leetcode Solution

You are given a 0-indexed integer array candies. Each element in the array denotes a pile of candies of size candies[i]. You can divide each pile into any number of sub piles, but you cannot merge two piles together.

You are also given an integer k. You should allocate piles of candies to k children such that each child gets the same number of candies. Each child can take at most one pile of candies and some piles of candies may go unused.

Return the maximum number of candies each child can get.

Example 1:

Input: candies = [5,8,6], k = 3
Output: 5
Explanation: We can divide candies[1] into 2 piles of size 5 and 3, and candies[2] into 2 piles of size 5 and 1. We now have five piles of candies of sizes 5, 5, 3, 5, and 1. We can allocate the 3 piles of size 5 to 3 children. It can be proven that each child cannot receive more than 5 candies.

Example 2:

Input: candies = [2,5], k = 11
Output: 0
Explanation: There are 11 children but only 7 candies in total, so it is impossible to ensure each child receives at least one candy. Thus, each child gets no candy and the answer is 0.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= candies.length <= 105
  • 1 <= candies[i] <= 107
  • 1 <= k <= 1012

            for (int a : A) {
                sum += a / mid;
            }
            if (k > sum)
                right = mid - 1;

Problem 4 – Encrypt and Decrypt Strings Leetcode Solution

You are given a character array keys containing unique characters and a string array values containing strings of length 2. You are also given another string array dictionary that contains all permitted original strings after decryption. You should implement a data structure that can encrypt or decrypt a 0-indexed string.

A string is encrypted with the following process:

  1. For each character c in the string, we find the index i satisfying keys[i] == c in keys.
  2. Replace c with values[i] in the string.

Note that in case a character of the string is not present in keys, the encryption process cannot be carried out, and an empty string "" is returned.

A string is decrypted with the following process:

  1. For each substring s of length 2 occurring at an even index in the string, we find an i such that values[i] == s. If there are multiple valid i, we choose any one of them. This means a string could have multiple possible strings it can decrypt to.
  2. Replace s with keys[i] in the string.

Implement the Encrypter class:

  • Encrypter(char[] keys, String[] values, String[] dictionary) Initializes the Encrypter class with keys, values, and dictionary.
  • String encrypt(String word1) Encrypts word1 with the encryption process described above and returns the encrypted string.
  • int decrypt(String word2) Returns the number of possible strings word2 could decrypt to that also appear in dictionary.

Example 1:

Input
["Encrypter", "encrypt", "decrypt"]
[[['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], ["ei", "zf", "ei", "am"], ["abcd", "acbd", "adbc", "badc", "dacb", "cadb", "cbda", "abad"]], ["abcd"], ["eizfeiam"]]
Output
[null, "eizfeiam", 2]

Explanation
Encrypter encrypter = new Encrypter([['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], ["ei", "zf", "ei", "am"], ["abcd", "acbd", "adbc", "badc", "dacb", "cadb", "cbda", "abad"]);
encrypter.encrypt("abcd"); // return "eizfeiam". 
                           // 'a' maps to "ei", 'b' maps to "zf", 'c' maps to "ei", and 'd' maps to "am".
encrypter.decrypt("eizfeiam"); // return 2. 
                              // "ei" can map to 'a' or 'c', "zf" maps to 'b', and "am" maps to 'd'. 
                              // Thus, the possible strings after decryption are "abad", "cbad", "abcd", and "cbcd". 
                              // 2 of those strings, "abad" and "abcd", appear in dictionary, so the answer is 2.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= keys.length == values.length <= 26
  • values[i].length == 2
  • 1 <= dictionary.length <= 100
  • 1 <= dictionary[i].length <= 100
  • All keys[i] and dictionary[i] are unique.
  • 1 <= word1.length <= 2000
  • 1 <= word2.length <= 200
  • All word1[i] appear in keys.
  • word2.length is even.
  • keysvalues[i]dictionary[i]word1, and word2 only contain lowercase English letters.
  • At most 200 calls will be made to encrypt and decrypt in total.
