UNIT 1: BASICS OF PYTHON PROGRAMMING

LEETCODE PROBLEM

1. Two Sum (1)

Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers such
that they add up to target.You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution,
and you may not use the same element twice.You can return the answer in any order.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2,7,11,15], target = 9
Output: [0,1]
Explanation: Because nums[0] + nums[1] == 9, we return [0, 1].
Example 2:
Input: nums = [3,2,4], target = 6
Output: [1,2]
Example 3:
Input: nums = [3,3], target = 6
Output: [0,1]

2.Contains Duplicate (217)

Given an integer array nums, return true if any value appears at least twice in the array, and
return false if every element is distinct.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,1]
Output: true
Explanation:
The element 1 occurs at the indices 0 and 3.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,4]
Output: false
Explanation:
All elements are distinct.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1,1,1,3,3,4,3,2,4,2]
Output: true

3.Single Number (136)

Given a non-empty array of integers nums, every element appears twice except for one. Find
that single one.
You must implement a solution with a linear runtime complexity and use only constant extra
space.(136)
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2,2,1]
Output: 1
Example 2:
Input: nums = [4,1,2,1,2]
Output: 4
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1]
Output: 1

4.Intrsection of Two Arrays (350)

Given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2, return an array of their intersection. Each element
in the result must appear as many times as it shows in both arrays and you may return the result
in any order.
Example 1:
Input: nums1 = [1,2,2,1], nums2 = [2,2]
Output: [2,2]
Example 2:
Input: nums1 = [4,9,5], nums2 = [9,4,9,8,4]
Output: [4,9]
Explanation: [9,4] is also accepted.

5.N-ary Tree Preorder Traversal (589)

Given the root of an n-ary tree, return the preorder 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: [1,3,5,6,2,4]
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: [1,2,3,6,7,11,14,4,8,12,5,9,13,10]

6.Pascal’s Triangle (118)

Given an integer numRows, return the first numRows of Pascal's triangle.
In Pascal's triangle, each number is the sum of the two numbers directly above it as shown:
Example 1:
Input: numRows = 5
Output: [[1],[1,1],[1,2,1],[1,3,3,1],[1,4,6,4,1]]
Example 2:
Input: numRows = 1
Output: [[1]]

7.Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock (121)

You are given an array prices where prices[i] is the price of a given stock on the ith day.
You want to maximize your profit by choosing a single day to buy one stock and choosing
a different day in the future to sell that stock.
Return the maximum profit you can achieve from this transaction. If you cannot achieve any
profit, return 0.

Example 1:
Input: prices = [7,1,5,3,6,4]
Output: 5
Explanation: Buy on day 2 (price = 1) and sell on day 5 (price = 6), profit = 6-1 = 5.
Note that buying on day 2 and selling on day 1 is not allowed because you must buy before
you sell.
Example 2:
Input: prices = [7,6,4,3,1]
Output: 0
Explanation: In this case, no transactions are done and the max profit = 0.

8.Reverse String (344)

Write a function that reverses a string. The input string is given as an array of characters s.
You must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.
Example 1:
Input: s = ["h","e","l","l","o"]
Output: ["o","l","l","e","h"]
Example 2:
Input: s = ["H","a","n","n","a","h"]
Output: ["h","a","n","n","a","H"]

9.Word Pattern (290)

Given a pattern and a string s, find if s follows the same pattern.
Here follow means a full match, such that there is a bijection between a letter in pattern and
a non-empty word in s. Specifically:
• Each letter in pattern maps to exactly one unique word in s.
• Each unique word in s maps to exactly one letter in pattern.
• No two letters map to the same word, and no two words map to the same letter.
Example 1:
Input: pattern = "abba", s = "dog cat cat dog"
Output: true
Explanation:
The bijection can be established as:
• 'a' maps to "dog".
• 'b' maps to "cat".
Example 2:
Input: pattern = "abba", s = "dog cat cat fish"
Output: false
Example 3:
Input: pattern = "aaaa", s = "dog cat cat dog"
Output: false

10. Design HashSet (705)

Design a HashSet without using any built-in hash table libraries.
Implement MyHashSet class:
• void add(key) Inserts the value key into the HashSet.
• bool contains(key) Returns whether the value key exists in the HashSet or not.
• void remove(key) Removes the value key in the HashSet. If key does not exist in the
HashSet, do nothing.
Example 1:
Input
["MyHashSet", "add", "add", "contains", "contains", "add", "contains", "remove", "contains"]
[[], [1], [2], [1], [3], [2], [2], [2], [2]]
Output
[null, null, null, true, false, null, true, null, false]
Explanation
MyHashSet myHashSet = new MyHashSet();
myHashSet.add(1); // set = [1]
myHashSet.add(2); // set = [1, 2]
myHashSet.contains(1); // return True
myHashSet.contains(3); // return False, (not found)
myHashSet.add(2); // set = [1, 2]
myHashSet.contains(2); // return True
myHashSet.remove(2); // set = [1]
myHashSet.contains(2); // return False, (already removed)

11.Valid Anagram (242)

Given two strings s and t, return true if t is an anagram of s, and false otherwise.
Example 1:
Input: s = "anagram", t = "nagaram"
Output: true
Example 2:
Input: s = "rat", t = "car"
Output: false

12.N-ary Tree Preorder Traversal (589)

Given the root of an n-ary tree, return the preorder 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: [1,3,5,6,2,4]
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: [1,2,3,6,7,11,14,4,8,12,5,9,13,10]

13.Construct Binary Tree from Preorder and Inorder Traversal (105)

Given two integer arrays preorder and inorder where preorder is the preorder traversal of a
binary tree and inorder is the inorder traversal of the same tree, construct and return the binary
tree.
Example 1:
Input: preorder = [3,9,20,15,7], inorder = [9,3,15,20,7]
Output: [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Example 2:
Input: preorder = [-1], inorder = [-1]
Output: [-1]

14. 3Sum (15)

Given an integer array nums, return all the triplets [nums[i], nums[j], nums[k]] such that i !=
j, i != k, and j != k, and nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[k] == 0.
Notice that the solution set must not contain duplicate triplets.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [-1,0,1,2,-1,-4]
Output: [[-1,-1,2],[-1,0,1]]
Explanation:
nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2] = (-1) + 0 + 1 = 0.
nums[1] + nums[2] + nums[4] = 0 + 1 + (-1) = 0.
nums[0] + nums[3] + nums[4] = (-1) + 2 + (-1) = 0.
The distinct triplets are [-1,0,1] and [-1,-1,2].
Notice that the order of the output and the order of the triplets does not matter.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [0,1,1]
Output: []
Explanation: The only possible triplet does not sum up to 0.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [0,0,0]
Output: [[0,0,0]]
Explanation: The only possible triplet sums up to 0.

15.Plus One (66)

You are given a large integer represented as an integer array digits, where each digits[i] is
the ith digit of the integer. The digits are ordered from most significant to least significant in
left-to-right order. The large integer does not contain any leading 0's.
Increment the large integer by one and return the resulting array of digits.
Example 1:
Input: digits = [1,2,3]
Output: [1,2,4]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 123.
Incrementing by one gives 123 + 1 = 124.
Thus, the result should be [1,2,4].
Example 2:
Input: digits = [4,3,2,1]
Output: [4,3,2,2]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 4321.
Incrementing by one gives 4321 + 1 = 4322.
Thus, the result should be [4,3,2,2].
Example 3:
Input: digits = [9]
Output: [1,0]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 9.
Incrementing by one gives 9 + 1 = 10.
Thus, the result should be [1,0].

16.Pascal’s Triangle (118)

Given an integer numRows, return the first numRows of Pascal's triangle.
In Pascal's triangle, each number is the sum of the two numbers directly above it as shown:
Example 1:
Input: numRows = 5
Output: [[1],[1,1],[1,2,1],[1,3,3,1],[1,4,6,4,1]]
Example 2:
Input: numRows = 1
Output: [[1]]

17.Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters (3)

Given a string s, find the length of the longest substring without duplicate characters.
Example 1:
Input: s = "abcabcbb"
Output: 3
Explanation: The answer is "abc", with the length of 3.
Example 2:
Input: s = "bbbbb"
Output: 1
Explanation: The answer is "b", with the length of 1.
Example 3:
Input: s = "pwwkew"
Output: 3
Explanation: The answer is "wke", with the length of 3.
Notice that the answer must be a substring, "pwke" is a subsequence and not a substring.

18.First Unique Character in a String (387)

Given a string s, find the first non-repeating character in it and return its index. If it does
not exist, return -1.
Example 1:
Input: s = "leetcode"
Output: 0
Explanation:
The character 'l' at index 0 is the first character that does not occur at any other index.
Example 2:
Input: s = "loveleetcode"
Output: 2
Example 3:
Input: s = "aabb"
Output: -1

19.Group Anagrams (49)

Example 2:
Input: s = "loveleetcode"
Output: 2
Example 3:
Input: s = "aabb"
Output: -1

20.Intersection of Two Arrays (350)

Given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2, return an array of their intersection. Each element
in the result must appear as many times as it shows in both arrays and you may return the result
in any order.
Example 1:
