Delete Node in a Linked List Write a function to delete a node (except the tail) in a singly linked list, given only access to that node. Supposed the linked list is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 and you are given the third node with value 3, the […]
Read N Characters Given Read4 The API: int read4(char *buf) reads 4 characters at a time from a file. The return value is the actual number of characters read. For example, it returns 3 if there is only 3 characters left in the file. By using the read4 API, implement […]
Number of Islands II A 2d grid map of m rows and n columns is initially filled with water. We may perform an addLand operation which turns the water at position (row, col) into a land. Given a list of positions to operate, count the number of islands after each […]
Product of Array Except Self Given an array of n integers where n > 1, nums, return an array output such that output[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of nums except nums[i]. Solve it without division and in O(n). For example, given [1,2,3,4], return [24,12,8,6]. Follow […]
Search a 2D Matrix II Write an efficient algorithm that searches for a value in an m x n matrix. This matrix has the following properties: Integers in each row are sorted in ascending from left to right. Integers in each column are sorted in ascending from top to bottom. […]
Strobogrammatic Number III A strobogrammatic number is a number that looks the same when rotated 180 degrees (looked at upside down). Write a function to count the total strobogrammatic numbers that exist in the range of low <= num <= high. For example, Given low = “50”, high = “100”, […]
Group Shifted Strings Given a string, we can “shift” each of its letter to its successive letter, for example: “abc” -> “bcd”. We can keep “shifting” which forms the sequence: “abc” -> “bcd” -> … -> “xyz” Given a list of strings which contains only lowercase alphabets, group all strings […]
Different Ways to Add Parentheses Given a string of numbers and operators, return all possible results from computing all the different possible ways to group numbers and operators. The valid operators are+, – and *. Example 1 Input: “2-1-1”. ((2-1)-1) = 0 (2-(1-1)) = 2 Output: [0, 2] Example 2 […]
Range Sum Query 2D – Immutable Given a 2D matrix matrix, find the sum of the elements inside the rectangle defined by (row1, col1), (row2, col2). Example: Given matrix = [ [3, 0, 1, 4, 2], [5, 6, 3, 2, 1], [1, 2, 0, 1, 5], [4, 1, 0, 1, […]
Factor Combinations Numbers can be regarded as product of its factors. For example, 8 = 2 x 2 x 2; = 2 x 4. Write a function that takes an integer n and return all possible combinations of its factors. Note: Each combination’s factors must be sorted ascending, for example: […]
