You are given an array of positive integers nums and want to erase a subarray containing unique elements. The score you get by erasing the subarray is equal to the sum of its elements. Return the maximum score you can get by erasing exactly one subarray. An array b is called to be a subarray of a if it forms a contiguous subsequence of a, that is, if it is equal to a[l],a[l+1],…,a[r] for some (l,r). Example…… Continue reading LeetCode Maximum Erasure Value

Leetcode 59 Spiral Matrix II Java Solution
Given a positive integer n, generate a square matrix filled with elements from 1 to n2 in spiral order. Example: Input: 3 Output: [ [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 8, 9, 4 ], [ 7, 6, 5 ] ] Solution 1: class Solution { public int[][] generateMatrix(int num) { int[][] spiralMatrix = new int[num][num]; int m =…… Continue reading Leetcode 59 Spiral Matrix II Java Solution
Leetcode 54 Spiral Matrix Java Solution
Given a matrix of m x n elements (m rows, n columns), return all elements of the matrix in spiral order. Example 1: Input: [ [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 4, 5, 6 ], [ 7, 8, 9 ] ] Output: [1,2,3,6,9,8,7,4,5] Example 2: Input: [ [1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], [9,10,11,12] ] Output: [1,2,3,4,8,12,11,10,9,5,6,7] Solution 1: class…… Continue reading Leetcode 54 Spiral Matrix Java Solution
Leetcode 53 Maximum Subarray Java Solution
Given an integer array nums, find the contiguous subarray (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum and return its sum. Example: Input: [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4], Output: 6 Explanation: [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6. Follow up: If you have figured out the O(n) solution, try coding another solution using the divide and conquer approach, which is…… Continue reading Leetcode 53 Maximum Subarray Java Solution
Leetcode 49 Group Anagrams Java Solution
Given an array of strings, group anagrams together. Example: Input: [“eat”, “tea”, “tan”, “ate”, “nat”, “bat”], Output: [ [“ate”,”eat”,”tea”], [“nat”,”tan”], [“bat”] ] Note: All inputs will be in lowercase.The order of your output does not matter. Solution 1: class Solution { public List<List<String>> groupAnagrams(String[] strs) { Map<String, List<String>> anMap = new HashMap<String, List<String>>(); List<List<String>> retList =…… Continue reading Leetcode 49 Group Anagrams Java Solution
Leetcode 46 Permutations Java Solution
Given a collection of distinct integers, return all possible permutations. Example: Input: [1,2,3] Output: [ [1,2,3], [1,3,2], [2,1,3], [2,3,1], [3,1,2], [3,2,1] ] Solution 1: class Solution { List<List<Integer>> returnList = new ArrayList<>(); int[] used ; public List<List<Integer>> permute(int[] nums) { List<Integer> temp = new ArrayList<Integer>(); used = new int[nums.length]; findPermutations(nums, 0, temp); return returnList; } public void…… Continue reading Leetcode 46 Permutations Java Solution
Leetcode 41 First Missing Positive Java Solution
Given an unsorted integer array, find the smallest missing positive integer. Example 1: Input: [1,2,0] Output: 3 Example 2: Input: [3,4,-1,1] Output: 2 Example 3: Input: [7,8,9,11,12] Output: 1 Note: Your algorithm should run in O(n) time and uses constant extra space. Solution 1: class Solution { public int firstMissingPositive(int[] nums) { for(int i=0;i<nums.length;i++){ if(nums[i]>0 && nums[i]!=…… Continue reading Leetcode 41 First Missing Positive Java Solution
