Description

Given a sorted array 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 may assume no duplicates in the array.

Example 1:

1
2

Input: [1,3,5,6], 5
Output: 2

Example 2:

1
2

Input: [1,3,5,6], 2
Output: 1

Example 3:

1
2

Input: [1,3,5,6], 7
Output: 4

Example 1:

1
2

Input: [1,3,5,6], 0
Output: 0

Description

Implement strStr().

Return the index of the first occurrence of needle in haystack, or -1 if needle is not part of haystack.

Example 1:

1
2

Input: haystack = "hello", needle = "ll"
Output: 2

Example 2:

1
2

Input: haystack = "aaaaa", needle = "bba"
Output: -1

Clarification:

What should we return when needle is an empty string? This is a great question to ask during an interview.

For the purpose of this problem, we will return 0 when needle is an empty string. This is consistent to C’s strstr() and Java’s indexOf()).

Description

Given an array nums and a value val, remove all instances of that value in-place and return the new length.

Do not allocate extra space for another array, you must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.

The order of elements can be changed. It doesn’t matter what you leave beyond the new length.

Example 1:

1
2
3
4
5

Given nums = [3,2,2,3], val = 3,

Your function should return length = 2, with the first two elements of nums being 2.

It doesn't matter what you leave beyond the returned length.

Example 2:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

Given nums = [0,1,2,2,3,0,4,2], val = 2,

Your function should return length = 5, with the first five elements of nums containing 0, 1, 3, 0, and 4.

Note that the order of those five elements can be arbitrary.

It doesn't matter what values are set beyond the returned length.

Clarification:

Confused why the returned value is an integer but your answer is an array?

Note that the input array is passed in by reference, which means modification to the input array will be known to the caller as well.

Internally you can think of this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

// nums is passed in by reference. (i.e., without making a copy)
int len = removeElement(nums, val);

// any modification to nums in your function would be known by the caller.
// using the length returned by your function, it prints the first len elements.
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    print(nums[i]);
}

Description

Given a sorted array nums, remove the duplicates in-place such that each element appear only once and return the new length.

Do not allocate extra space for another array, you must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.

Example 1:

1
2
3
4
5

Given nums = [1,1,2],

Your function should return length = 2, with the first two elements of nums being 1 and 2 respectively.

It doesn't matter what you leave beyond the returned length.

Example 2:

1
2
3
4
5

Given nums = [0,0,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4],

Your function should return length = 5, with the first five elements of nums being modified to 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.

It doesn't matter what values are set beyond the returned length.

// any modification to nums in your function would be known by the caller.

for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    print(nums[i]);
}

Description

Given an array nums of n integers, are there elements a, b, c in nums such that a + b + c = 0? Find all unique triplets in the array which gives the sum of zero.

Note:

The solution set must not contain duplicate triplets.

Example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

Given array nums = [-1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4],

A solution set is:
[
  [-1, 0, 1],
  [-1, -1, 2]
]

Description

Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.

Example 1:

1
2
3

Input: "abcabcbb"
Output: 3 
Explanation: The answer is "abc", with the length of 3.

Example 2:

1
2
3

Input: "bbbbb"
Output: 1
Explanation: The answer is "b", with the length of 1.

Example 3:

1
2
3
4

Input: "pwwkew"
Output: 3
Explanation: The answer is "wke", with the length of 3. 
             Note that the answer must be a substring, "pwke" is a subsequence and not a substring.

Description

There are two sorted arrays nums1 and nums2 of size m and n respectively.

Find the median of the two sorted arrays. The overall run time complexity should be O(log (m+n)).

You may assume nums1 and nums2 cannot be both empty.

Example 1:

1
2
3
4

nums1 = [1, 3]
nums2 = [2]

The median is 2.0

Example 2:

1
2
3
4

nums1 = [1, 2]
nums2 = [3, 4]

The median is (2 + 3)/2 = 2.5

Description

You are given two non-empty linked lists representing two non-negative integers. The digits are stored in reverse order and each of their nodes contain a single digit. Add the two numbers and return it as a linked list.

You may assume the two numbers do not contain any leading zero, except the number 0 itself.

Example:

1
2
3

Input: (2 -> 4 -> 3) + (5 -> 6 -> 4)
Output: 7 -> 0 -> 8
Explanation: 342 + 465 = 807.

Description

Given a linked list, swap every two adjacent nodes and return its head.

Example:

1

Given 1->2->3->4, you should return the list as 2->1->4->3.

Note:

• Your algorithm should use only constant extra space.
• You may not modify the values in the list’s nodes, only nodes itself may be changed.

Description

Given a string containing just the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']', determine if the input string is valid.

An input string is valid if:

1. Open brackets must be closed by the same type of brackets.
2. Open brackets must be closed in the correct order.

Note that an empty string is also considered valid.

Example 1:

1
2

Input: "()"
Output: true

Example 2:

1
2

Input: "()[]{}"
Output: true

Example 3:

1
2

Input: "(]"
Output: false

Example 4:

1
2

Input: "([)]"
Output: false

Example 5:

1
2

Input: "{[]}"
Output: true
