1# Leetcode 367. Valid Perfect Square
Given a positive integer num, write a function which returns True if num is a perfect square else False.
Note: Do not use any built-in library function such as sqrt.
Example 1:
Input: 16
Returns: True
Example 2:
Input: 14
Returns: False
思路:
以256举例
mid = 128 => 128 * 128 > 256 => end = mid = 128;
mid = 64 => 64 * 64 > 256 => end = mid = 64;
mid = 32 => 32 * 32 > 256 => end = mid = 32;
mid = 16 => 16 * 16 = 256 => return true;
以15举例
mid = 8 => 8 * 8 > 15 => end = mid = 8;
mid = 4 => 4 * 4 > 15 => end = mid = 4;
mid = 2 => 2 * 2 < 15 => start = mid = 2; end = 4;
mid = 3 => 3 * 3 < 15 => start = mid = 3; end = 4;
start + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4 = end, while loop end;
start = 3, 3 * 3 != 15 and end = 4, 4 * 4 != 15;
so return false;
public class Solution {
public boolean isPerfectSquare(int num) {
if (num < 1) {
return false;
}
long start = 1;
long end = num;
while (start + 1 < end) {

4# Leetcode 441. Arranging Coins
You have a total of n coins that you want to form in a staircase shape, where every k-th row must have exactly k coins.
Given n, find the total number of full staircase rows that can be formed.
n is a non-negative integer and fits within the range of a 32-bit signed integer.
Example 1: n = 5
The coins can form the following rows:
¤
¤ ¤
¤ ¤
Because the 3rd row is incomplete, we return 2.
Example 2: n = 8
The coins can form the following rows:
¤
¤ ¤
¤ ¤ ¤
¤ ¤
Because the 4th row is incomplete, we return 3.

We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows:
I pick a number from 1 to n. You have to guess which number I picked.
Every time you guess wrong, I'll tell you whether the number is higher or lower.
You call a pre-defined API guess(int num) which returns 3 possible results (-1, 1, or 0):
-1 : My number is lower
1 : My number is higher
0 : Congrats! You got it!
Example:
n = 10, I pick 6.
Return 6.

You are a product manager and currently leading a team to develop a new product. Unfortunately, the latest version of your product fails the quality check. Since each version is developed based on the previous version, all the versions after a bad version are also bad.
Suppose you have n versions [1, 2, ..., n] and you want to find out the first bad one, which causes all the following ones to be bad.
You are given an API bool isBadVersion(version) which will return whether version is bad. Implement a function to find the first bad version. You should minimize the number of calls to the API.

9# Leetcode 475. Heaters
Winter is coming! Your first job during the contest is to design a standard heater with fixed warm radius to warm all the houses.
Now, you are given positions of houses and heaters on a horizontal line, find out the minimum radius of heaters so that all houses could be covered by those heaters.
So, your input will be the positions of houses and heaters separately, and your expected output will be the minimum radius standard of heaters.
Note:
Numbers of houses and heaters you are given are non-negative and will not exceed 25000.
Positions of houses and heaters you are given are non-negative and will not exceed 10^9.
As long as a house is in the heaters' warm radius range, it can be warmed.
All the heaters follow your radius standard and the warm radius will the same.
Example 1:
Input: [1,2,3],[2]
Output: 1
Explanation: The only heater was placed in the position 2, and if we use the radius 1 standard, then all the houses can be warmed.
Example 2:
Input: [1,2,3,4],[1,4]
Output: 1
Explanation: The two heater was placed in the position 1 and 4. We need to use radius 1 standard, then all the houses can be warmed.
升序排列加热器的坐标heaters
遍历房屋houses，记当前房屋坐标为house：
利用二分查找，分别找到不大于house的最大加热器坐标left，以及不小于house的最小加热器坐标right(即左右最近的heater), 则当前房屋所需的最小加热器半径radius = min(house - left, right - house)。利用radius更新最终答案。

Given four lists A, B, C, D of integer values, compute how many tuples (i, j, k, l) there are such that A[i] + B[j] + C[k] + D[l] is zero.
To make problem a bit easier, all A, B, C, D have same length of N where 0 ≤ N ≤ 500. All integers are in the range of -228 to 228 - 1 and the result is guaranteed to be at most 231 - 1.
Example:
Input:
A = [ 1, 2]
B = [-2,-1]
C = [-1, 2]
D = [ 0, 2]
Output:
2
Explanation:
The two tuples are:
- (0, 0, 0, 1) -> A[0] + B[0] + C[0] + D[1] = 1 + (-2) + (-1) + 2 = 0
- (1, 1, 0, 0) -> A[1] + B[1] + C[0] + D[0] = 2 + (-1) + (-1) + 0 = 0
23# Leetcode 436. Find Right Interval
Given a set of intervals, for each of the interval i, check if there exists an interval j whose start point is bigger than or equal to the end point of the interval i, which can be called that j is on the "right" of i.
For any interval i, you need to store the minimum interval j's index, which means that the interval j has the minimum start point to build the "right" relationship for interval i. If the interval j doesn't exist, store -1 for the interval i. Finally, you need output the stored value of each interval as an array.
Note:
You may assume the interval's end point is always bigger than its start point.
You may assume none of these intervals have the same start point.
Example 1:
Input: [ [1,2] ]
Output: [-1]
Explanation: There is only one interval in the collection, so it outputs -1.
Example 2:
Input: [ [3,4], [2,3], [1,2] ]
Output: [-1, 0, 1]
Explanation: There is no satisfied "right" interval for [3,4].
For [2,3], the interval [3,4] has minimum-"right" start point;
For [1,2], the interval [2,3] has minimum-"right" start point.
Example 3:
Input: [ [1,4], [2,3], [3,4] ]
Output: [-1, 2, -1]
Explanation: There is no satisfied "right" interval for [1,4] and [3,4].
For [2,3], the interval [3,4] has minimum-"right" start point.

Given an unsorted array of integers, find the length of longest increasing subsequence.
For example,
Given [10, 9, 2, 5, 3, 7, 101, 18],
The longest increasing subsequence is [2, 3, 7, 101], therefore the length is 4. Note that there may be more than one LIS combination, it is only necessary for you to return the length.
Your algorithm should run in O(n2) complexity.

Find the median of the two sorted arrays. The overall run time complexity should be O(log (m+n)).
Example 1:
nums1 = [1, 3], nums2 = [2]
The median is 2.0
Example 2:
nums1 = [1, 2], nums2 = [3, 4]
The median is (2 + 3)/2 = 2.5

35# Leetcode 410. Split Array Largest Sum
Given an array which consists of non-negative integers and an integer m, you can split the array into m non-empty continuous subarrays. Write an algorithm to minimize the largest sum among these m subarrays.
Note:
If n is the length of array, assume the following constraints are satisfied:
1 ≤ n ≤ 1000
1 ≤ m ≤ min(50, n)
Examples:
Input:
nums = [7,2,5,10,8]
m = 2
Output:
18
Explanation:
There are four ways to split nums into two subarrays.
The best way is to split it into [7,2,5] and [10,8],
where the largest sum among the two subarrays is only 18.

37# Leetcode 174. Dungeon Game
The demons had captured the princess (P) and imprisoned her in the bottom-right corner of a dungeon. The dungeon consists of M x N rooms laid out in a 2D grid. Our valiant knight (K) was initially positioned in the top-left room and must fight his way through the dungeon to rescue the princess.
The knight has an initial health point represented by a positive integer. If at any point his health point drops to 0 or below, he dies immediately.
Some of the rooms are guarded by demons, so the knight loses health (negative integers) upon entering these rooms; other rooms are either empty (0's) or contain magic orbs that increase the knight's health (positive integers).
In order to reach the princess as quickly as possible, the knight decides to move only rightward or downward in each step.
Write a function to determine the knight's minimum initial health so that he is able to rescue the princess.
For example, given the dungeon below, the initial health of the knight must be at least 7 if he follows the optimal path RIGHT-> RIGHT -> DOWN -> DOWN.
| -2(K) | -3 | 3 |
|---|---|---|
| -5 | -10 | 1 |
| 10 | 30 | -5(P) |
Notes:
The knight's health has no upper bound.
Any room can contain threats or power-ups, even the first room the knight enters and the bottom-right room where the princess is imprisoned.

39# LintCode: Last Position of Target
Find the last position of a target number in a sorted array. Return -1 if target does not exist.
Example
Given [1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5].
For target = 2, return 2.
For target = 5, return 5.
For target = 6, return -1.
public int lastPosition(int[] nums, int target) {
// Write your code here
if (nums.length == 0 || nums == null) {
return -1;
}
int start = 0;
int end = nums.length - 1;
while (start + 1 < end) {
int mid = start + (end - start) / 2;
if (nums[mid]==target) {
start = mid;
} else if (nums[mid] < target) {
start = mid;
} else {
end = mid;
}
}
if (nums[end] == target) {
return end;
}
if (nums[start] == target) {
return start;
}
return -1;

Given a mountain sequence of n integers which increase firstly and then decrease, find the mountain top.
Example
Given nums = [1, 2, 4, 8, 6, 3] return 8
Given nums = [10, 9, 8, 7], return 10
public int mountainSequence(int[] nums) {
if (nums.length == 0 || nums == null) {
return -1;
}
int start = 0;
int end = nums.length - 1;
while (start + 1 < end) {
int mid = start + (end - start) / 2;
if (nums[mid] > nums[mid + 1]) {
end = mid;
} else {
start = mid;
}
}
return Math.max(nums[start], nums[end]);
}
