<h3>problem statement</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Given an array <code>nums</code> of integers and upper/lower
|
||||
integer bounds <code>upper</code>/<code>lower</code> respectively,
|
||||
return the number of unique valid index pairs such that: \[i\neq
|
||||
j,lower\leq nums[i]+nums[j]\leq upper\]
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>understanding the problem</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This is another sleeper daily in which a bit of thinking in the
|
||||
beginning pays dividends. Intuitively, I think it makes sense to
|
||||
reduce the “dimensionality” of the problem. Choosing
|
||||
both <code>i</code> and <code>j</code> concurrently seems tricky,
|
||||
so let's assume we've found a valid <code>i</code>. What
|
||||
must be true? Well: \[i\neq j,lower-nums[i]\leq nums[j]\leq
|
||||
upper-nums[i]\]
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It doesn't seem like we've made much progress. If nums
|
||||
is a sequence of random integers,
|
||||
<i
|
||||
>there's truly no way to find all <code>j</code> satisfying
|
||||
this condition efficiently</i
|
||||
>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The following question naturally arises: can we modify our input
|
||||
to find such <code>j</code> efficiently? Recall our goal: find the
|
||||
smallest/largest j to fit within our altered bounds—in other
|
||||
words, find the smallest \(x\) less/greater than or equal to a
|
||||
number. If binary search bells aren't clanging in your head
|
||||
right now, I'm not sure what to say besides keep practicing.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
So, it would be nice to sort <code>nums</code> to find such
|
||||
<code>j</code> relatively quickly. However:
|
||||
<i>are we actually allowed to do this?</i> This is the core
|
||||
question I think everyone skips over. Maybe it is trivial but it
|
||||
is important to emphasize:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul style="list-style: none">
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<i>Yes, we are allowed to sort the input</i>. Re-frame the
|
||||
problem: what we are actually doing is choosing distinct
|
||||
<code>i</code>, <code>j</code> to satisfy some condition. The
|
||||
order of <code>nums</code> does not matter—rather, its
|
||||
contents do. Any input to this algorithm with
|
||||
<code>nums</code> with the same contents will yield the same
|
||||
result. If we were to modify <code>nums</code> instead of
|
||||
rearrange it, this would be invalid because we could be
|
||||
introducing/taking away valid index combinations.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Let's consider our solution a bit more before implementing
|
||||
it:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Is the approach feasible? We're sorting
|
||||
<code>nums</code> then binary searching over it considering all
|
||||
<code>i</code>, which will take around \(O(nlg(n))\) time.
|
||||
<code>len(nums)</code>\(\leq10^5\), so this is fine.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
How do we avoid double-counting? The logic so far makes no
|
||||
effort. If we consider making all pairs with indices
|
||||
<i>less than</i> <code>i</code> for all
|
||||
<code>i</code> left-to-right, we'll be considering all
|
||||
valid pairs with no overlap. This is a common pattern—take
|
||||
a moment to justify it to yourself.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<i>Exactly</i> how many elements do we count? Okay, we're
|
||||
considering some rightmost index <code>i</code> and we've
|
||||
found upper and lower index bounds <code>j</code> and
|
||||
<code>k</code> respectively. We can pair
|
||||
<code>nums[j]</code> with all elements up to an including
|
||||
<code>nums[k]</code> (besides <code>nums[j]</code>). There are
|
||||
exactly \(k-j\) of these. If the indexing confuses you, draw it
|
||||
out and prove it to yourself.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
How do we get our final answer? Accumulate all
|
||||
<code>k-j</code> for all <code>i</code>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3>carrying out the plan</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The following approach implements our logic quite elegantly and
|
||||
directly. The third and fourth arguments to the
|
||||
<code>bisect</code> calls specify <code>lo</code> (inclusive) and
|
||||
<code>hi</code> (exclusive) bounds for our search space, mirroring
|
||||
the criteria that we search across all indices \(\lt i\).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<div class="code" data-file="cfps-naive.py"></div>
|
||||
<h3>optimizing the approach</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If we interpret the criteria this way, the above approach is
|
||||
relatively efficient. To improve this approach, we'll need to
|
||||
reinterpret the constraints. Forget about the indexing and
|
||||
consider the constraint in aggregate. We want to find all \(i,j\)
|
||||
with \(x=nums[i]+nums[j]\) such that \(i\neq j,lower\leq x\leq
|
||||
upper\).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We <i>still</i> need to reduce the “dimensionality” of
|
||||
the problem—there are just too many moving parts to consider
|
||||
at once. This seems challening. Let's simplify the problem to
|
||||
identify helpful ideas: pretend <code>lower</code> does not exist
|
||||
(and, of course, that <code>nums</code> is sorted).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We're looking for all index pairs with sum \(\leq upper\).
|
||||
And behold: (almost) two sum in the wild. This can be accomplished
|
||||
with a two-pointers approach—this post is getting quite long
|
||||
so we'll skip over why this is the case—but the main
|
||||
win here is that we can solve this simplified version of our
|
||||
problem in \(O(n)\).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Are we any closer to actually solving the problem? Now, we have
|
||||
the count of index pairs \(\leq upper\). Is this our answer?
|
||||
No—some may be too small, namely, with sum \(\lt lower\).
|
||||
Let's exclude those by running our two-pointer approach with
|
||||
and upper bound of \(lower-1\) (we want to include \(lower\)).
|
||||
Now, our count reflects the total number of index pairs with a sum
|
||||
in our interval bound.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that this really is just running a prefix sum/using the
|
||||
“inclusion-exclusion” principle/however you want to
|
||||
phrase it.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<div class="code" data-file="cfps-twoptr.py"></div>
|
||||
<h3>some more considerations</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The second approach is <i>asymptotically</i> equivalent. However,
|
||||
it's still worth considering for two reasons:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If an interviewer says “assume <code>nums</code> is
|
||||
sorted” or “how can we do
|
||||
better?”—you're cooked.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
(Much) more importantly, it's extremely valuable to be able
|
||||
to <i>reconceptualize</i> a problem and look at it from
|
||||
different angles. Not being locked in on a solution shows
|
||||
perseverance, curiosity, and strong problem-solving abilities.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<h3>asymptotic complexity</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<u>Time Complexity</u>: \(O(nlg(n))\) for both—\(O(n)\) if
|
||||
<code>nums</code> is sorted with respect to the second approach.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p><u>Space Complexity</u>: \(\Theta(1)\) for both.</p>

<div class="problem-content">
|

<h3>problem statement</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Given an array <code>items</code> of \((price, beauty)\) tuples,
|
||||
answer each integer query of \(queries\). The answer to some
|
||||
<code>query[i]</code> is the maximum beauty of an item with
|
||||
\(price\leq\)<code>items[i][0]</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>understanding the problem</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Focus on one aspect of the problem at a time. To answer a query,
|
||||
we need to have considered:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Items with a non-greater price</li>
|
||||
<li>The beauty of all such items</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Given some query, how can we <i>efficiently</i> identify the
|
||||
“last” item with an acceptable price? Leverage the
|
||||
most common pre-processing algorithm: sorting. Subsequently, we
|
||||
can binary search <code>items</code> (keyed by price, of course)
|
||||
to identify all considerable items in \(O(lg(n))\).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Great. Now we need to find the item with the largest beauty.
|
||||
Naïvely considering all the element is a
|
||||
<i>correct</i> approach—but is it correct? Considering our
|
||||
binary search \(O(lg(n))\) and beauty search \(O(n)\) across
|
||||
\(\Theta(n)\) queries with
|
||||
<code>len(items)<=len(queries)</code>\(\leq10^5\), an
|
||||
\(O(n^2lg(n))\) approach is certainly unacceptable.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Consider alternative approaches to responding to our queries. It
|
||||
is clear that answering them in-order yields no benefit (i.e. we
|
||||
have to consider each item all over again, per query)—could
|
||||
we answer them in another order to save computations?
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Visualizing our items from left-to-right, we's interested in
|
||||
both increasing beauty and prices. If we can scan our items left
|
||||
to right, we can certainly “accumulate” a running
|
||||
maximal beauty. We can leverage sorting once again to answer our
|
||||
queries left-to-right, then re-order them appropriately before
|
||||
returning a final answer. Sorting both <code>queries</code> and
|
||||
<code>items</code> with a linear scan will take \(O(nlg(n))\)
|
||||
time, meeting the constraints.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>carrying out the plan</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A few specifics need to be understood before coding up the
|
||||
approach:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Re-ordering the queries: couple <code>query[i]</code> with
|
||||
<code>i</code>, then sort. When responding to queries in sorted
|
||||
order, we know where to place them in an output
|
||||
container—index <code>i</code>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The linear scan: accumulate a running maximal beauty, starting
|
||||
at index <code>0</code>. For some query <code>query</code>, we
|
||||
want to consider all items with price less than or equal to
|
||||
<code>query</code>. Therefore, loop until this condition is
|
||||
<i>violated</i>— the previous index will represent the
|
||||
last considered item.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Edge cases: it's perfectly possible the last considered
|
||||
item is invalid (consider a query cheaper than the cheapest
|
||||
item). Return <code>0</code> as specified by the problem
|
||||
constraints.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<div class="code" data-file="beauty.cpp"></div>
|
||||
<h3>asymptotic complexity</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Let <code>n=len(items)</code> and <code>m=len(queries)</code>.
|
||||
There may be more items than queries, or vice versa. Note that a
|
||||
“looser” upper bound can be found by analyzing the
|
||||
runtime in terms of \(max\{n,m\}\).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<u>Time Complexity</u>: \(O(nlg(n)+mlg(m)+m)\in
|
||||
O(nlg(n)+mlg(m))\). An argument can be made that because
|
||||
<code>queries[i],items[i][{0,1}]</code>\(\leq10^9\), radix sort
|
||||
can be leveraged to achieve a time complexity of \(O(d \cdot (n +
|
||||
k + m + k))\in O(9\cdot (n + m))\in O(n+m)\).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<u>Space Complexity</u>: \(\Theta(1)\), considering that \(O(m)\)
|
||||
space must be allocated. If <code>queries</code>/<code
|

>items</code
|

|

cannot be modified in-place, increase the space complexity by

\(m\)/\(n\) respectively.

|

<h3>problem statement</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Given an array of non-negative integers \(num\) and some \(k\),
|
||||
find the length of the shortest non-empty subarray of nums such
|
||||
that its element-wise bitwise OR is greater than or equal to
|
||||
\(k\)—return -1 if no such array exists.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>developing an approach</h3>
|
||||
<p>Another convoluted, uninspired bitwise-oriented daily.</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Anways, we're looking for a subarray that satisfies a
|
||||
condition. Considering all subarrays with
|
||||
<code>len(nums)</code>\(\leq2\times10^5\) is impractical according
|
||||
to the common rule of \(\approx10^8\) computations per second on
|
||||
modern CPUs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Say we's building some array <code>xs</code>. Adding another
|
||||
element <code>x</code> to this sequence can only increase or
|
||||
element-wise bitwise OR. Of course, it makes sense to do this.
|
||||
However, consider <code>xs</code> after—it is certainly
|
||||
possible that including <code>x</code> finally got us to at least
|
||||
<code>k</code>. However, not all of the elements in the array are
|
||||
useful now; we should remove some.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Which do we remove? Certainly not any from the
|
||||
middle—we'd no longer be considering a subarray. We can
|
||||
only remove from the beginning.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Now, how many times do we remove? While the element-wise bitwise
|
||||
OR of <code>xs</code> is \(\geq k\), we can naïvely remove
|
||||
from the start of <code>xs</code> to find the smallest subarray.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Lastly, what' the state of <code>xs</code> after these
|
||||
removals? Now, we (may) have an answer and the element-wise
|
||||
bitwise OR of <code>xs</code> is guaranteed to be \(\lt k\).
|
||||
Inductively, expand the array to search for a better answer.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This approach is generally called a variable-sized “sliding
|
||||
window”. Every element of
|
||||
<code>nums</code> is only added (considered in the element-wise
|
||||
bitwise OR) or removed (discard) one time, yielding an
|
||||
asymptotically linear time complexity. In other words, this is a
|
||||
realistic approach for our constraints.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>carrying out the plan</h3>
|
||||
<p>Plugging in our algorithm to my sliding window framework:</p>
|
||||
<div class="code" data-file="msl-naive.py"></div>
|
||||
<p>Done, right? No. TLE.</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you thought this solution would work, you move too fast.
|
||||
Consider <i>every</i> aspect of an algorithm before implementing
|
||||
it. In this case, we (I) overlooked one core question:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ol style="list-style: none">
|
||||
<li><i>How do we maintain our element-wise bitwise OR</i>?</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Calculating it by directly maintaining a window of length \(n\)
|
||||
takes \(n\) time—with a maximum window size of \(n\), this
|
||||
solution is \(O(n^2)\).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Let's try again. Adding an element is simple—OR it to
|
||||
some cumulative value. Removing an element, not so much.
|
||||
Considering some \(x\) to remove, we only unset one of its bits
|
||||
from our aggregated OR if it's the “last” one of
|
||||
these bits set across all numbers contributing to our aggregated
|
||||
value.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Thus, to maintain our aggregate OR, we want to map bit
|
||||
“indices” to counts. A hashmap (dictionary) or static
|
||||
array will do just find. Adding/removing some \(x\) will
|
||||
increment/decrement each the counter's bit count at its
|
||||
respective position. I like to be uselessly specific
|
||||
sometimes—choosing the latter approach, how big should our
|
||||
array be? As many bits as represented by the largest of
|
||||
\(nums\)—(or \(k\) itself): \[\lfloor \lg({max\{nums,k
|
||||
\})}\rfloor+1\]
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>Note that:</p>

||||

|
||||
because \(log_2(x)\) is not available in python.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
It's certainly possible that \(max\{nums, k\}=0\). To avoid
|
||||
the invalid calculation \(log(0)\), take the larger of \(1\) and
|
||||
this calculation. The number of digits will then (correctly) be
|
||||
\(1\) in this special case.

<h3>problem statement</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Given some \(x\) and \(n\), construct a strictly increasing array
|
||||
(say
|
||||
<code>nums</code>
|
||||
) of length \(n\) such that
|
||||
<code>nums[0] & nums[1] ... & nums[n - 1] == x</code>
|
||||
, where
|
||||
<code>&</code>
|
||||
denotes the bitwise AND operator.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Finally, return the minimum possible value of
|
||||
<code>nums[n - 1]</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>understanding the problem</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The main difficulty in this problem lies in understanding what is
|
||||
being asked (intentionally or not, the phrasing is terrible). Some
|
||||
initial notes:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The final array need not be constructed</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If the element-wise bitwise AND of an array equals
|
||||
<code>x</code> if and only if each element has
|
||||
<code>x</code>'s bits set—and no other bit it set by
|
||||
all elements
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
It makes sense to set <code>nums[0] == x</code> to ensure
|
||||
<code>nums[n - 1]</code> is minimal
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3>developing an approach</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
An inductive approach is helpful. Consider the natural question:
|
||||
“If I had correctly generated <code>nums[:i]</code>”,
|
||||
how could I find <code>nums[i]</code>? In other words,
|
||||
<i
|
||||
>how can I find the next smallest number such that
|
||||
<code>nums</code>
|
||||
's element-wise bitwise AND is still \(x\)?</i
|
||||
>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Hmm... this is tricky. Let's think of a similar problem to
|
||||
glean some insight: “Given some \(x\), how can I find the
|
||||
next smallest number?”. The answer is, of course, add one
|
||||
(bear with me here).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We also know that all of <code>nums[i]</code> must have at least
|
||||
\(x\)'s bits set. Therefore, we need to alter the unset bits
|
||||
of <code>nums[i]</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The key insight of this problem is combining these two ideas to
|
||||
answer our question:
|
||||
<i
|
||||
>Just “add one” to <code>nums[i - 1]</code>'s
|
||||
unset bits</i
|
||||
>. Repeat this to find <code>nums[n - 1]</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
One last piece is missing—how do we know the element-wise
|
||||
bitwise AND is <i>exactly</i> \(x\)? Because
|
||||
<code>nums[i > 0]</code> only sets \(x\)'s unset bits, every
|
||||
number in <code>nums</code> will have at least \(x\)'s bits
|
||||
set. Further, no other bits will be set because \(x\) has them
|
||||
unset.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>carrying out the plan</h3>
|
||||
<p>Let's flesh out the remaining parts of the algorithm:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<code>len(nums) == n</code> and we initialize
|
||||
<code>nums[0] == x</code>. So, we need to “add one”
|
||||
<code>n - 1</code> times
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
How do we carry out the additions? We could iterate \(n - 1\)
|
||||
times and simulate them. However, we already know how we want to
|
||||
alter the unset bits of <code>nums[0]</code> inductively—
|
||||
(add one) <i>and</i> how many times we want to do this (\(n -
|
||||
1\)). Because we're adding one \(n-1\) times to
|
||||
\(x\)'s unset bits (right to left, of course), we simply
|
||||
set its unset bits to those of \(n - 1\).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The implementation is relatively straightfoward. Traverse \(x\)
|
||||
from least-to-most significant bit, setting its \(i\)th unset bit
|
||||
to \(n - 1\)'s \(i\)th bit. Use a bitwise mask
|
||||
<code>mask</code> to traverse \(x\).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<div class="code" data-file="minend.cpp"></div>
|
||||
<h3>asymptotic complexity</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<u>Space Complexity</u>: \(\Theta(1)\)—a constant amount of
|
||||
numeric variables are allocated regardless of \(n\) and \(x\).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<u>Time Complexity</u>: in the worst case, may need to traverse
|
||||
the entirety of \(x\) to distribute every bit of \(n - 1\) to
|
||||
\(x\). This occurs if and only if \(x\) is all ones (\(\exists
|
||||
k\gt 0 : 2^k-1=x\))). \(x\) and \(n\) have \(lg(x)\) and \(lg(n)\)
|
||||
bits respectively, so the solution is \(O(lg(x) + lg(n))\in
|
||||
O(log(xn))\). \(1\leq x,n\leq 1e8\), so this runtime is bounded by
|
||||
\(O(log(1e8^2))\in O(1)\).
