This article is the solution Math Intuition of Dynamic Programming: Shift One and Added of Problem 118. Pascal’s Triangle .

Intuition

To generate a Pascal’s triangle is as the below animated git shows.

We can find that the Current Layer has only one element more than the Previous Layer. The elements in the Current Layer are equal to the elements in the Previous Layer, which was added one by one after being shifted one bit backward.

Therefore, we only need to deal with the Last Layer. We add a \(0\) at the beginning and the end of the Last Layer. Then sum the corresponding positions to get a New Layer.

This article is the solution 2 Approaches: HashSet and Two Pointers with Detailed Explanation of Problem 160. Intersection of Two Linked Lists.

Here shows 2 Approaches to slove this problem: HashSet and Two Pointers.

HashSet

We can use \(\texttt{HashSet}\) to store linked list nodes.

  1. Traverse the linked list \(\textit{headA}\), and add each node in the linked list \(\textit{headA}\) to the \(\texttt{HashSet}\);

  2. Traverse the linked list \(\textit{headB}\). For each node traversed, check whether the node is in the \(\texttt{HashSet}\).

    • If the current node is Not in the \(\texttt{HashSet}\), continue to traverse the next node;

    • If the current node is in the \(\texttt{HashSet}\), then all nodes starting from the current node are in the intersection of the two linked lists. Therefore, the first node traversed in the linked list \(\textit{headB}\) is the node intersected by the two linked lists.

    • If all the nodes in the linked list \(\textit{headB}\) are Not in the \(\texttt{HashSet}\), the two linked lists do not intersect and \(\textit{null}\) is returned.

headA = headA.next;

This article is the solution Pattern of Data Pairs Problem: Sorting First then Greedy of Problem 406. Queue Reconstruction by Height .

Intuition

The Data Pair \(\textit{people}[h, k]\), \(h_i\) represents the i-th person of height \(h_i\), \(k_i\) represents the other people in front who have a height greater than or equal to \(h_i\).

Pattern:

When face such kind of problem with Data Pair, sorting first will simplify the problem.

Usually, we will sort the first element in ascending order, while the second element in descending order, or sort the first element in descending order with the second element in ascending order.

Greedy

We sort the \(\textit{people}\) pairs first by \(height\) in descending order, and \(k\) in ascending order.

According to the descending order of \(height\), for each person, the number of people before him is the number of people whose height is greater than or equal to him.

According to the ascending order of \(k\), because the \(k\) is increase later, which can reduce the number of insert operations.

Take the example:

After sorting:

1
[7,0], [7,1], [6,1], [5,0], [5,2], [4,4]

Insert one by one:

1
2
3
4
5
6
[7,0]
[7,0], [7,1]
[7,0], [6,1], [7,1]
[5,0], [7,0], [6,1], [7,1]
[5,0], [7,0], [5,2], [6,1], [7,1]
[5,0], [7,0], [5,2], [6,1], [4,4], [7,1]
