LeetCode 503: Where Does the Right Side End in a Circular Array?

Problem Requirement You are given a circular integer array nums. Return an array answer. For every index i: answer[i] = the first value strictly greater than nums[i] when moving right If one full trip around the array finds no greater value, answer[i] = -1. “Circular” means that moving past the final position continues from index 0. An index cannot travel one full circle and use itself as its own answer. ...

LeetCode 84: Which Bar Limits a Contiguous Rectangle?

Problem Requirement You are given a non-negative integer array heights. Each heights[i] is the height of a bar with width 1, and all bars are adjacent. Return the area of the largest rectangle that can be formed in the histogram. A legal rectangle covers a contiguous interval of bars. Its width is the number of bars in that interval, and its height cannot exceed the shortest bar in the interval. ...

LeetCode 739: Daily Temperatures and the First Warmer Day to the Right

Problem Requirement You are given an integer array temperatures, where temperatures[i] is the temperature on day i. Return an array answer where: answer[i] = the number of days after day i until a warmer temperature If no later day is warmer, answer[i] = 0. “Warmer” means strictly greater. An equal temperature does not resolve a waiting day. LeetCode provides this method contract: dailyTemperatures(temperatures: List[int]) -> List[int] Example Input: temperatures = [73,74,75,71,69,72,76,73] Output: [1,1,4,2,1,1,0,0] Constraints 1 <= temperatures.length <= 10^5 30 <= temperatures[i] <= 100 Step 1: The Answer Is a Waiting Time, Not a Temperature Start with a smaller input: ...

LeetCode 42: How Much Rain Water Can an Elevation Map Hold?

Problem Requirement You are given n non-negative integers in height. Each integer is the height of a bar with width 1, and all bars are adjacent from left to right. After rain, taller bars on both sides may hold water above shorter bars. Return the total amount of water trapped by the entire elevation map. LeetCode expects this interface: class Solution: def trap(self, height: List[int]) -> int: ... Example 1 Input: height = [0,1,0,2,1,0,1,3,2,1,2,1] Output: 6 Example 2 Input: height = [4,2,0,3,2,5] Output: 9 Constraints n == len(height) 1 <= n <= 2 * 10^4 0 <= height[i] <= 10^5 Step 1: First Answer How Much Water One Position Holds Do not calculate the whole elevation map yet. Focus on one position: ...
