Problem

Given an input string (s) and a pattern (p), implement regular expression matching with support for '.' and '*'.

1
2
'.' Matches any single character.
'*' Matches zero or more of the preceding element.

The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).

Note:

  • s could be empty and contains only lowercase letters a-z.
  • p could be empty and contains only lowercase letters a-z, and characters like . or *.

Problem

Given a non-empty array of integers, every element appears twice except for one. Find that single one.

Note:
Your algorithm should have a linear runtime complexity. Could you implement it without using extra memory?

Problem

Given a balanced parentheses string S, compute the score of the string based on the following rule:

  • () has score 1
  • AB has score A + B, where A and B are balanced parentheses strings.
  • (A) has score 2 * A, where A is a balanced parentheses string.

Problem

Given a string S and a string T, find the minimum window in S which will contain all the characters in T in complexity O(n).

Example:

1
2
Input: S = "ADOBECODEBANC", T = "ABC"
Output: "BANC"

Note:

  • If there is no such window in S that covers all characters in T, return the empty string "".
  • If there is such window, you are guaranteed that there will always be only one unique minimum window in S.

Problem

Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D and M.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
Symbol       Value
I 1
V 5
X 10
L 50
C 100
D 500
M 1000

For example, two is written as II in Roman numeral, just two one’s added together. Twelve is written as, XII, which is simply X + II. The number twenty seven is written as XXVII, which is XX + V + II.

Roman numerals are usually written largest to smallest from left to right. However, the numeral for four is not IIII. Instead, the number four is written as IV. Because the one is before the five we subtract it making four. The same principle applies to the number nine, which is written as IX. There are six instances where subtraction is used:

  • I can be placed before V (5) and X (10) to make 4 and 9.
  • X can be placed before L (50) and C (100) to make 40 and 90.
  • C can be placed before D (500) and M (1000) to make 400 and 900.

Given an integer, convert it to a roman numeral. Input is guaranteed to be within the range from 1 to 3999.
