Trapping Rain Water | Leetcode 42 Solution

42. Trapping Rain Water

Given n non-negative integers representing an elevation map where the width of each bar is 1, compute how much water it can trap after raining.

 

Example 1:

Input: height = [0,1,0,2,1,0,1,3,2,1,2,1]
Output: 6
Explanation: The above elevation map (black section) is represented by array [0,1,0,2,1,0,1,3,2,1,2,1]. In this case, 6 units of rain water (blue section) are being trapped.

Example 2:

Input: height = [4,2,0,3,2,5]
Output: 9

 

Constraints:

  • n == height.length
  • 1 <= n <= 2 * 104
  • 0 <= height[i] <= 105


Solution :

Using Prefixmax array and suffixmax array : 

formula used :  
water stored at a particular index =  min(leftmaximum[i] , rightmaximum[i]) - a[i] ; 

class Solution {
public:
    int trap(vector<int>& nums) {
     
          vector<int>leftmaximum;
          vector<int>rightmaximum(nums.size(), 0);
          for(int i =0; i < nums.size() ; i++)
          {
              if(i ==0)
              {
                  leftmaximum.push_back(nums[i]);
              }
              else
              {
                  leftmaximum.push_back(leftmaximum.back() < nums[i] ? nums[i] : leftmaximum.back());
              }

          }

          for(int i =nums.size() -1 ; i>=0 ; i--)
          {
              if(i == nums.size() -1)
              {
                  rightmaximum[nums.size() -1] = nums[nums.size() -1];
              }
              else
              {
                  rightmaximum[i] = (rightmaximum[i+1] < nums[i])?nums[i] : rightmaximum[i+1];
              }
          }

          int sum =0;
          for(int i =0; i< nums.size() ; i++)
          {
              sum += min(leftmaximum[i] , rightmaximum[i]) -nums[i];
          }
      return sum;

    }
};

leetcode 48 solution

  48 .  Rotate Image You are given an  n x n  2D  matrix  representing an image, rotate the image by  90  degrees (clockwise). You have to rotate the image  in-place , which means you have to modify the input 2D matrix directly.  DO NOT  allocate another 2D matrix and do the rotation.   Example 1: Input: matrix = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]] Output: [[7,4,1],[8,5,2],[9,6,3]] Example 2: Input: matrix = [[5,1,9,11],[2,4,8,10],[13,3,6,7],[15,14,12,16]] Output: [[15,13,2,5],[14,3,4,1],[12,6,8,9],[16,7,10,11]]   Constraints: n == matrix.length == matrix[i].length 1 <= n <= 20 -1000 <= matrix[i][j] <= 1000 solution: class Solution { public:     void swap(int& a , int &b)     {         int c ;         c = a;         a = b;         b = c;     }     void transpose (vector<vector<int>...

Regular Expression Matching Leetcode Solution

Regular Expression Matching Given an input string s and a pattern p, implement regular expression matching with support for '.' and '*' where: '.' Matches any single character.​​​​ '*' Matches zero or more of the preceding element. The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial). Example 1: Input: s = "aa", p = "a"  Output: false  Explanation: "a" does not match the entire string "aa". Example 2: Input: s = "aa", p = "a*"  Output: true  Explanation: '*' means zero or more of the preceding element, 'a'. Therefore, by repeating 'a' once, it becomes "aa". Example 3: Input: s = "ab", p = ".*"  Output: true  Explanation: ".*" means "zero or more (*) of any character (.)". Constraints: 1 <= s.length <= 20 1 <= p.length <= 20 s contains only lowercase English letters. p contains only lowercase Englis...

2485. Find the Pivot Integer | Binary search

  Given a positive integer   n , find the   pivot integer   x   such that: The sum of all elements between  1  and  x  inclusively equals the sum of all elements between  x  and  n  inclusively. Return  the pivot integer  x . If no such integer exists, return  -1 . It is guaranteed that there will be at most one pivot index for the given input.   Example 1: Input: n = 8 Output: 6 Explanation: 6 is the pivot integer since: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 6 + 7 + 8 = 21. Example 2: Input: n = 1 Output: 1 Explanation: 1 is the pivot integer since: 1 = 1. Example 3: Input: n = 4 Output: -1 Explanation: It can be proved that no such integer exist.   Constraints: 1 <= n <= 1000 Solution : class Solution { publ ic:     int pivotInteger( int n ) {         int sum = (( n )*( n + 1 ))/ 2 ;         int i = 1 ;         int j =...
