# Leetcode

Some leetcode questions for security roles

## [Two Sum](https://leetcode.com/problems/two-sum/)

<table data-header-hidden data-full-width="false"><thead><tr><th width="208"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Difficulty</td><td>Easy</td></tr><tr><td>Topics</td><td>arrrays, hashmap</td></tr></tbody></table>

Given an array of integers `nums` and an integer `target`, return *indices of the two numbers such that they add up to `target`*.

You may assume that each input would have ***exactly*****&#x20;one solution**, and you may not use the *same* element twice.

You can return the answer in any order.

**Example 1:**

```
Input: nums = [2,7,11,15], target = 9
Output: [0,1]
Explanation: Because nums[0] + nums[1] == 9, we return [0, 1].

```

**Example 2:**

```
Input: nums = [3,2,4], target = 6
Output: [1,2]

```

**Example 3:**

```
Input: nums = [3,3], target = 6
Output: [0,1]

```

**Constraints:**

* `2 <= nums.length <= 104`
* `109 <= nums[i] <= 109`
* `109 <= target <= 109`
* **Only one valid answer exists.**

**Follow-up:**

Can you come up with an algorithm that is less than

```
O(n2)
```

time complexity?

#### **Solution: Bruteforce**

```python
class Solution:
    def twoSum(self, nums: List[int], target: int) -> List[int]:
        result = set()
        for x in range(0,len(nums)):
            for y in range(0,len(nums)):
                if x == y:
                    continue
                if nums[x] + nums[y] == target:
                    result.add(x)
                    result.add(y)
        return result
        
```

<details>

<summary>Solution 2: Use hashmap:</summary>

```python
class Solution:
    def twoSum(self, nums: List[int], target: int) -> List[int]:
        result = []
        hashmap = {}
        for x in range(0, len(nums)):
            minus_data = target - nums[x]
            if minus_data in hashmap:
                result.append(hashmap[minus_data])
                result.append(x)
            hashmap[nums[x]] = x
        return result
```

## [Two Sum II - Input Array Is Sorted](https://leetcode.com/problems/two-sum-ii-input-array-is-sorted/)

<table data-header-hidden data-full-width="false"><thead><tr><th width="208"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Difficulty</td><td>medium</td></tr><tr><td>Topics</td><td>arrrays, two pointers</td></tr></tbody></table>

Given a **1-indexed** array of integers `numbers` that is already ***sorted in non-decreasing order***, find two numbers such that they add up to a specific `target` number. Let these two numbers be `numbers[index1]` and `numbers[index2]` where `1 <= index1 < index2 <= numbers.length`.

Return *the indices of the two numbers,* `index1` *and* `index2`*, **added by one** as an integer array* `[index1, index2]` *of length 2.*

The tests are generated so that there is **exactly one solution**. You **may not** use the same element twice.

Your solution must use only constant extra space.&#x20;

**Example 1:**

<pre><code><strong>Input: numbers = [2,7,11,15], target = 9
</strong><strong>Output: [1,2]
</strong><strong>Explanation: The sum of 2 and 7 is 9. 
</strong><strong>Therefore, index1 = 1, index2 = 2. We return [1, 2].
</strong></code></pre>

**Example 2:**

<pre><code><strong>Input: numbers = [2,3,4], target = 6
</strong><strong>Output: [1,3]
</strong><strong>Explanation: The sum of 2 and 4 is 6. Therefore index1 = 1, index2 = 3. 
</strong><strong>We return [1, 3].
</strong></code></pre>

**Example 3:**

<pre><code><strong>Input: numbers = [-1,0], target = -1
</strong><strong>Output: [1,2]
</strong><strong>Explanation: The sum of -1 and 0 is -1. Therefore index1 = 1, index2 = 2. 
</strong><strong>We return [1, 2].
</strong></code></pre>

**Constraints:**

* `2 <= numbers.length <= 3 * 104`
* `-1000 <= numbers[i] <= 1000`
* `numbers` is sorted in **non-decreasing order**.
* `-1000 <= target <= 1000`
* The tests are generated so that there is **exactly one solution**.

## Min Stack

Design a stack that supports push, pop, top, and retrieving the minimum element in constant time.

Implement the `MinStack` class:

* `MinStack()` initializes the stack object.
* `void push(int val)` pushes the element `val` onto the stack.
* `void pop()` removes the element on the top of the stack.
* `int top()` gets the top element of the stack.
* `int getMin()` retrieves the minimum element in the stack.

You must implement a solution with `O(1)` time complexity for each function.

**Example 1:**

```
Input
["MinStack","push","push","push","getMin","pop","top","getMin"]
[[],[-2],[0],[-3],[],[],[],[]]

Output
[null,null,null,null,-3,null,0,-2]

Explanation
MinStack minStack = new MinStack();
minStack.push(-2);
minStack.push(0);
minStack.push(-3);
minStack.getMin(); // return -3
minStack.pop();
minStack.top();    // return 0
minStack.getMin(); // return -2

```

**Constraints:**

* `231 <= val <= 231 - 1`
* Methods `pop`, `top` and `getMin` operations will always be called on **non-empty** stacks.
* At most `3 * 104` calls will be made to `push`, `pop`, `top`, and `getMin`.

#### Solution

```python
class MinStack(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.stack = []
        self.min_stack = []

    def push(self, val):
        self.stack.append(val)
        val = min(val, self.min_stack[-1] if self.min_stack else val)
        self.min_stack.append(val)

    def pop(self):
        self.stack.pop()
        self.min_stack.pop()

    def top(self):
        return self.stack[-1] if self.stack else None

    def getMin(self):
        return self.min_stack[-1] if self.min_stack else None
        


# Your MinStack object will be instantiated and called as such:
# obj = MinStack()
# obj.push(val)
# obj.pop()
# param_3 = obj.top()
# param_4 = obj.getMin()
```
