Leetcode 1646 Get Maximum in Generated Array

You are given an integer n. An array nums of length n + 1 is generated in the following way:

nums[0] = 0

nums[1] = 1

nums[2 * i] = nums[i] when 2 <= 2 * i <= n

nums[2 * i + 1] = nums[i] + nums[i + 1] when 2 <= 2 * i + 1 <= n

Return the maximum integer in the array nums​​​.

Constraints:

0 <= n <= 100


Analysis:

This question is quick straightforward: the state and transitional formula are given; the initialization is also given. So we can just ready the code to iterate all the states and find the maximum.


See the code below:

class Solution {
public:
    int getMaximumGenerated(int n) {
        int res = 0;
        if(n<2) return n;
        vector<int> f(n+1, 0);
        f[1] = 1;
        for(int i=2; i<=n; ++i) {
            if(i&1) f[i] = f[i/2] + f[i/2+1];
            else f[i] = f[i/2];
            // cout<<i<<" "<<f[i]<<endl;
            res = max(res, f[i]);
        }
        return res;
    }
};

Binary Search - Example

Binary Search - Example Leetcode 35  Search Insert Position Given a sorted array of distinct integers and a target value, return the index if the target is found. If not, return the index where it would be if it were inserted in order. You must write an algorithm with O(log n) runtime complexity. Constraints: 1 <= nums.length <= 10^4 -10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4 nums contains distinct values sorted in ascending order. -10^4 <= target <= 10^4 Analysis: The array is sorted, so we just need to run a routine binary search. Make a guest first, then based on the guessed result, we can adjust the search range. See the code below: class Solution { public: int searchInsert(vector<int>& nums, int target) { int left = 0, right = nums.size(); while(left < right) { int mid = left + (right - left) / 2; if(nums[mid] < target) left = mid + 1; else right = mid; } return left; } }; If you know t...

Graph Question - Hard Level - Question 1

2246. Longest Path With Different Adjacent Characters You are given a tree (i.e. a connected, undirected graph that has no cycles) rooted at node 0 consisting of n nodes numbered from 0 to n - 1. The tree is represented by a 0-indexed array parent of size n, where parent[i] is the parent of node i. Since node 0 is the root, parent[0] == -1. You are also given a string s of length n, where s[i] is the character assigned to node i. Return the length of the longest path in the tree such that no pair of adjacent nodes on the path have the same character assigned to them. Constraints: n == parent.length == s.length 1 <= n <= 10^5 0 <= parent[i] <= n - 1 for all i >= 1 parent[0] == -1 parent represents a valid tree. s consists of only lowercase English letters. Analysis For this question, we need to construct a graph, or more specifically, a n-nary tree. How to construct the graph/tree? What we only know is the parent array. So we need to go through the parent array and constr...
