Note that the answer is just someone else's code. It's correct, but it's not necessarily going to pass the test (such as timeouts). It's just that they're unique, although most of them are better than mine.
Now it's more than simple.
Implement Queue using Stacks
subject
Implement the following operations of a queue using stacks.
push(x) – Push element x to the back of queue.
pop() – Removes the element from in front of queue.
peek() – Get the front element.
empty() – Return whether the queue is empty.
Notes:
You must use only standard operations of a stack – which means only push to top, peek/pop from top, size, and is empty operations are valid.
Depending on your language, stack may not be supported natively. You may simulate a stack by using a list or deque (double-ended queue), as long as you use only standard operations of a stack.
You may assume that all operations are valid (for example, no pop or peek operations will be called on an empty queue).
Thoughts and Solutions
It's still simple, but it's the kind I don't really want to write about.
class MyQueue(object):
def __init__(self):
"""
Initialize your data structure here.
"""
self.l=[]
def push(self, x):
"""
Push element x to the back of queue.
:type x: int
:rtype: void
"""
self.l.append(x)
def pop(self):
"""
Removes the element from in front of queue and returns that element.
:rtype: int
"""
a=self.l[0]
del self.l[0]
return a
def peek(self):
"""
Get the front element.
:rtype: int
"""
return self.l[0]
def empty(self):
"""
Returns whether the queue is empty.
:rtype: bool
"""
return len(self.l)==0
Well, that's it.
Answer
Ah ah ah, I didn't finish the problem at all. I just saw the simulated queue.
The Title requires that the queue be simulated by stack... So I didn't use the stack. The eggs hurt.
Don't want to write any more. Write your thoughts.
Two stacks are used to simulate the queue.
One is responsible for push and the other is responsible for pop.
When push, pop all the elements of outStack to inStack, and then inStack.append (push)
When pop, pop all the elements of inStack to outStack, and then outStack.pop
When peek, pop all the elements of inStack to outStack, and then outStack.peek
When empty, determine whether both stacks are empty

Longest Uncommon Subsequence I
subject
Given a group of two strings, you need to find the longest uncommon subsequence of this group of two strings. The longest uncommon subsequence is defined as the longest subsequence of one of these strings and this subsequence should not be any subsequence of the other strings.
A subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from one sequence by deleting some characters without changing the order of the remaining elements. Trivially, any string is a subsequence of itself and an empty string is a subsequence of any string.
The input will be two strings, and the output needs to be the length of the longest uncommon subsequence. If the longest uncommon subsequence doesn't exist, return -1.
Example 1:
Input: "aba", "cdc"
Output: 3
Explanation: The longest uncommon subsequence is "aba" (or "cdc"),
because "aba" is a subsequence of "aba",
but not a subsequence of any other strings in the group of two strings.
Note:
Both strings' lengths will not exceed 100.
Only letters from a ~ z will appear in input strings.
Thoughts and Solutions
Or easy
Doesn't this title mean the longest one to return to?
Then it enters two identical...
class Solution(object):
def findLUSlength(self, a, b):
if a == b:return -1
return len(a) if len(a)>len(b) else len(b)
Is this not Shi Lezhi???
Horizontal trough 0.77%
Answer
return -1 if a == b else max(len(a),len(b))
I seem to be foolish again.
A lot of people in the forum thought it was a Stupid Question.
They thought about DP, DFS, BFS, LCS and other methods.
Combination Sum
subject
Given a set of candidate numbers (C) (without duplicates) and a target number (T), find all unique combinations in C where the candidate numbers sums to T.
The same repeated number may be chosen from C unlimited number of times.
Note:
All numbers (including target) will be positive integers.
The solution set must not contain duplicate combinations.
For example, given candidate set [2, 3, 6, 7] and target 7,
A solution set is:
[
[7],
[2, 2, 3]
]
Thoughts and Solutions
Medium Difficulty
There are some impressions on this question.
It's like the dfs timeout list (impressive)
. Not really. That's just the number of returns. There's a queue.
I'm afraid it's not O(n^3) with that scheme.
It seems like dfs is good, because different list s need to be generated at the same time.
And variables can be defined within classes
class Solution(object):
def __init__(self):
self.res=[]
def combinationSum(self, candidates, target):
"""
:type candidates: List[int]
:type target: int
:rtype: List[List[int]]
"""
def dfs(a, l, n):#a Remaining Length, l Generated List, i Prevent Turning, Repetition
if a == 0:
self.res.append(l)
return
for i in range(n, len(candidates)):
if candidates[i] > a:
break
dfs(a - candidates[i], l + [candidates[i]], i)
dfs(target, [], 0)
return self.res
a set of candidate numbers is not duplicated, not sorted, erased.

dfs(remain - candy[i], combo + [candy[i]], i)
candy = sorted(candidates)
result = []

Subsets
subject
Given a set of distinct integers, nums, return all possible subsets.
Note: The solution set must not contain duplicate subsets.
For example,
If nums = [1,2,3], a solution is:
[
[3],
[1],
[2],
[1,2,3],
[1,3],
[2,3],
[1,2],
[]
]

Word Ladder II
This is hard. Looking at the question, it seems that you can do it with dfs, but it's estimated that it will be rather slow. Let's do the medium difficulty first.
Binary Tree Level Order Traversal
subject
Given a binary tree, return the level order traversal of its nodes' values. (ie, from left to right, level by level).
For example:
Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7],
3
/ \
9 20
/ \
15 7
return its level order traversal as:
[
[3],
[9,20],
[15,7]
]
Thoughts and Solutions
dfs should be able to do, as long as the number of tree layers in dfs can be added, but how to determine the total number of tree layers to determine the length of the initial List, should not be able to
But it seems that bfs is better.
