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​​​.

Example 1: 

Input: n = 7
Output: 3
Explanation: According to the given rules:
  nums[0] = 0
  nums[1] = 1
  nums[(1 * 2) = 2] = nums[1] = 1
  nums[(1 * 2) + 1 = 3] = nums[1] + nums[2] = 1 + 1 = 2
  nums[(2 * 2) = 4] = nums[2] = 1
  nums[(2 * 2) + 1 = 5] = nums[2] + nums[3] = 1 + 2 = 3
  nums[(3 * 2) = 6] = nums[3] = 2
  nums[(3 * 2) + 1 = 7] = nums[3] + nums[4] = 2 + 1 = 3
Hence, nums = [0,1,1,2,1,3,2,3], and the maximum is 3.

Example 2: 

Input: n = 2
Output: 1
Explanation: According to the given rules, the maximum between nums[0], nums[1], and nums[2] is 1.

Example 3: 

Input: n = 3
Output: 2
Explanation: According to the given rules, the maximum between nums[0], nums[1], nums[2], and nums[3] is 2.

 

Constraints:

  • 0 <= n <= 100
Solution :

class Solution {
    public int getMaximumGenerated(int n) {
        if(n==0)
            return 0;
        else if(n==1)
            return 1;
        int nums[] = new int[n+1];
       
        nums[0] = 0;
        nums[1] = 1;
        
        int i, max =0;
        
        for(i=2;i<=n;i++){
            if(i % 2 == 0){
                nums [i] = nums[i/2];
            }
            else{
                nums[i] = nums[i/2] + nums[i/2+1];
            }
            max = Math.max(nums[i], max);
        }
        
        return max;
    }
}


Note:
Here, the problem itself clearly give you a solution. The solution for this problem can applied directly as explained in the problem [change only i value as explained in input 1]. But, if you follow this approach, there will be occurrence of error if n value is even[as explained in input 1, but n is even].

So, we need to approach the problem in different way.
1) Create a nums array with a size of n+1.
2) Initialize default values for nums[0] and nums[1].
3)For i>=2 till n,
 a)If i is even, then nums [i] = nums[i/2]
 b) If i is odd, then nums [i] = nums[i/2] + nums[i/2+1] (By using i/2, we can get values as represented in problem statement)
 c)For each nums[i], update max variable.
4) Finally return max.

Balanced Binary Tree

Given a binary tree, determine if it is height-balanced. For this problem, a height-balanced binary tree is defined as: a binary tree in which the left and right subtrees of  every  node differ in height by no more than 1. Example 1: Input: root = [3,9,20,null,null,15,7] Output: true Example 2: Input: root = [1,2,2,3,3,null,null,4,4] Output: false Example 3: Input: root = [] Output: true   Constraints: The number of nodes in the tree is in the range  [0, 5000] . -10 4  <= Node.val <= 10 4 Solution: /**  * Definition for a binary tree node.  * public class TreeNode {  *     int val;  *     TreeNode left;  *     TreeNode right;  *     TreeNode() {}  *     TreeNode(int val) { this.val = val; }  *     TreeNode(int val, TreeNode left, TreeNode right) {  *         this.val = val;  *         this.left = left;  *         this.right = right;  *     }

First Unique Character in a String

Given a string, find the first non-repeating character in it and return it's index. If it doesn't exist, return -1. Examples: s = "leetcode" return 0. s = "loveleetcode", return 2. Note: You may assume the string contain only lowercase letters. class Solution {     public int firstUniqChar(String s) {         int length = s.length();         String str;         for(int i=0;i<length;i++){             if(i==length-1){                 str = s.substring(0, i);             }             else{                 str = s.substring(0,i)+s.substring(i+1);             }             if(!str.contains(s.charAt(i)+""))                 return i;         }         return -1;     } } Try it on Leetcode Here, we are going to use substring method. 1) If character is at end, then take substring from 0 till before last character of string. 2) Else make a temporary string, by removing exactly that particular character using index.

Majority Element

Given an array of size n , find the majority element. The majority element is the element that appears more than ⌊ n/2 ⌋ times. You may assume that the array is non-empty and the majority element always exist in the array. Example 1: Input: [3,2,3] Output: 3 Example 2: Input: [2,2,1,1,1,2,2] Output: 2   class Solution { public int majorityElement(int[] nums) { Arrays.sort(nums); return nums[nums.length/2]; } } Here, we are sorting the entire array using sort() of Arrays class. Then, number at index position n/2 would be a majority element. There is no chance of wrong values in odd or even length.   Below is another method using HashMap. METHOD 2: class Solution { public int majorityElement(int[] nums) { HashMap<Integer, Integer>list = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>(); int repeatLen

Smallest Range II

Given an array   A   of integers, for each integer   A[i]   we need to choose   either  x = -K  or  x = K , and add   x   to   A[i]  (only once) . After this process, we have some array  B . Return the smallest possible difference between the maximum value of  B  and the minimum value of  B . Example 1: Input: A = [1] , K = 0 Output: 0 Explanation : B = [1] Example 2: Input: A = [0,10] , K = 2 Output: 6 Explanation : B = [2,8] Example 3: Input: A = [1,3,6] , K = 3 Output: 3 Explanation : B = [4,6,3] Note: 1 <= A.length <= 10000 0 <= A[i] <= 10000 0 <= K <= 10000 Solution: class Solution {     public int smallestRangeII(int[] A, int K) {         int i, min=0, max=0, min1, min2, max1, max2, length = A.length, diff
