1769. Minimum Number of Operations to Move All Balls to Each Box

Question You have n boxes. You are given a binary string boxes of length n, where boxes[i] is '0' if the ith box is empty, and '1' if it contains one ball. In one operation, you can move one ball from a box to an adjacent box. Box i is adjacent to box j if abs(i - j) == 1. Note that after doing so, there may be more than one ball in some boxes. Return an array answer of size n, where answer[i] is the minimum number of operations needed to move all the balls to the ith box. Each answer[i] is calculated considering the initial state of the boxes. Example 1: Input: boxes = "110" Output: [1,1,3] Explanation: The answer for each box is as follows: 1) First box: you will have to move one ball from the second box to the first box in one operation. 2) Second box: you will have to move one ball from the first box to the second box in one operation. 3) Third box: you will have to move one ball from the first box to the third box in two operations, and move one ball fr...

590. N-ary Tree Postorder Traversal

Question Given the root of an n-ary tree, return the postorder traversal of its nodes' values. Nary-Tree input serialization is represented in their level order traversal. Each group of children is separated by the null value (See examples) Example 1: Input: root = [1,null,3,2,4,null,5,6] Output: [5,6,3,2,4,1] Example 2: Input: root = [1,null,2,3,4,5,null,null,6,7,null,8,null,9,10,null,null,11,null,12,null,13,null,null,14] Output: [2,6,14,11,7,3,12,8,4,13,9,10,5,1] Solution class Solution { public: vector v; vector postorder(Node* root) { if(root==NULL) return v; for(int i=0;i children.size();i++){ postorder(root->children[i]); } v.push_back(root->val); return v; } };

2000. Reverse Prefix of Word

Question Given a 0-indexed string word and a character ch, reverse the segment of word that starts at index 0 and ends at the index of the first occurrence of ch (inclusive). If the character ch does not exist in word, do nothing. For example, if word = "abcdefd" and ch = "d", then you should reverse the segment that starts at 0 and ends at 3 (inclusive). The resulting string will be "dcbaefd". Return the resulting string. Example 1: Input: word = "abcdefd", ch = "d" Output: "dcbaefd" Explanation: The first occurrence of "d" is at index 3. Reverse the part of word from 0 to 3 (inclusive), the resulting string is "dcbaefd". Example 2: Input: word = "xyxzxe", ch = "z" Output: "zxyxxe" Explanation: The first and only occurrence of "z" is at index 3. Reverse the part of word from 0 to 3 (inclusive), the resulting string is "zxyxxe". Solution class Solution ...

2089. Find Target Indices After Sorting Array

Question You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums and a target element target. A target index is an index i such that nums[i] == target. Return a list of the target indices of nums after sorting nums in non-decreasing order. If there are no target indices, return an empty list. The returned list must be sorted in increasing order. Example 1: Input: nums = [1,2,5,2,3], target = 2 Output: [1,2] Explanation: After sorting, nums is [1,2,2,3,5]. The indices where nums[i] == 2 are 1 and 2. Example 2: Input: nums = [1,2,5,2,3], target = 3 Output: [3] Explanation: After sorting, nums is [1,2,2,3,5]. The index where nums[i] == 3 is 3. Solution class Solution { public: vector targetIndices(vector & nums, int target) { vector v; sort(nums.begin(),nums.end()); for(int i=0;i

658. Find K Closest Elements

Question Given a sorted integer array arr, two integers k and x, return the k closest integers to x in the array. The result should also be sorted in ascending order. An integer a is closer to x than an integer b if: |a - x| findClosestElements(vector & arr, int k, int x) { vector result; for(auto itr=arr.begin();itr!=arr.end();itr++) *itr-=x; sort(arr.begin(),arr.end(),[](int a, int b){return (a==-1*b && a

1337. The K Weakest Rows in a Matrix

Question You are given an m x n binary matrix mat of 1's (representing soldiers) and 0's (representing civilians). The soldiers are positioned in front of the civilians. That is, all the 1's will appear to the left of all the 0's in each row. A row i is weaker than a row j if one of the following is true: The number of soldiers in row i is less than the number of soldiers in row j. Both rows have the same number of soldiers and i kWeakestRows(vector >& mat, int k) { vector v; map m; int x=0; for(int i=0;i m[j]){ min = m[j]; d=j; } } v.push_back(d); m[d]=INT_MAX; } return v; } };

**1237. Find Positive Integer Solution for a Given Equation

Question Given a callable function f(x, y) with a hidden formula and a value z, reverse engineer the formula and return all positive integer pairs x and y where f(x,y) == z. You may return the pairs in any order. While the exact formula is hidden, the function is monotonically increasing, i.e.: f(x, y) f(1, 4) = 1 + 4 = 5. x=2, y=3 -> f(2, 3) = 2 + 3 = 5. x=3, y=2 -> f(3, 2) = 3 + 2 = 5. x=4, y=1 -> f(4, 1) = 4 + 1 = 5. Example 2: Input: function_id = 2, z = 5 Output: [[1,5],[5,1]] Explanation: The hidden formula for function_id = 2 is f(x, y) = x * y. The following positive integer values of x and y make f(x, y) equal to 5: x=1, y=5 -> f(1, 5) = 1 * 5 = 5. x=5, y=1 -> f(5, 1) = 5 * 1 = 5. Solution class Solution { public: vector > findSolution(CustomFunction& customfunction, int z) { vector > ans; int j = 1000; for(int i=1; i 1 && customfunction.f(i, j) > z) j--; if(customfunction.f(i, j) == z) ans.push...
