Brute force Approach(This will lead to TLE)
class Solution

Optimized Approach
TC : O(n) , space complexity : O(N) for using extra space for result array
class Solution

Print given matrix in a spiral form
Time complexity : O(MxN) for traversing the matrix, space complexity: O(MxN) for using ArrayList which will be of size MxN

Solution 1: We can use o(n^2) solution , using two for loops to find pairs that will add up to target.
Solution 2: We can also use backtracking to find all the possible pairs whose sum is target (time complexity will be (2^n) as every index will have two choices take or not take
class Solution {
int getPairsCount(int[] arr, int n, int k) {
//ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();
//return pairs(0,arr,k,list);
Arrays.sort(arr);
int i =0, j = n-1;
while(i<j){
if(arr[i]+arr[j] ==k) {
}
}
}
public int pairs(int index,int[] arr, int target,ArrayList<Integer> list){
//base case
if(index >= arr.length){
if(target==0){
//System.out.println("here" +list.size());
return list.size() ==2 ? 1 : 0;
}
return 0;
}
if(target==0){
//System.out.println("here" + list.size());
return list.size() ==2 ? 1 : 0;
}
//lets take it
int left =0;
if(target>=arr[index]){
list.add(arr[index]);
left = pairs(index+1,arr,target-arr[index],list);
//don't take , I am adding it here because of the if condition we have used
list.remove(list.size()-1);
}
int right = pairs(index+1,arr,target,list);
return left + right;
}
}
But both of these solution will lead to TLE
Optimal Solution :
Using HashMap
TC: O(n)
class Solution {
int getPairsCount(int[] arr, int n, int k) {
// we will use simple hashing technique,
// first we will find the frequency of all the elements int the array.
Map<Integer,Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
for(int i : arr) map.put(i,map.getOrDefault(i,0)+1);
//we will increment count value based on value of (k-arr[i]) as key in the
//map
//for example we have k =6, arr=1,5,0,
// there is only one pair 1,5 that form 6
//map = 1=1,5=1,0=1
// so, map.get(6-1) = map.get(5) = 1
//map.get(6-5) = map.get(1) = 1;
//map.get(6-0) = map.get(6) = 0;
//total = 1+1+0 = 2;
//hence result will be 2/2 = 1 (we divided the result by 2 because it contains duplicate
// as (1,5) and (5,1) hence only one uniqueue pair is taken into consideration)
int count =0;
for(int i =0;i<n;i++){
count = count + map.getOrDefault(k-arr[i],0);
//we have to avoid pair of the same index element like( arr[i],arr[i])
if(k == arr[i]+arr[i]) count--;
}
return count/2;
}
}
TC : O(n) and space complexity = O(2n)~O(n) for using leftMaxima and rightMaxima arrays
class Solution{
// arr: input array
// n: size of array
// Function to find the trapped water between the blocks.
static long trappingWater(int arr[], int n) {
// Your code here
int[] leftMaxima = new int[n];

currentMaxima = arr[i];
leftMaxima[i] = arr[i];
}
else
leftMaxima[i] = currentMaxima;
}

for(int i = n-1;i>=0;i--){
if(currentMaxima < arr[i]){
currentMaxima = arr[i];
rightMaxima[i] = arr[i];
}
else
rightMaxima[i] = currentMaxima;
}
int loggedWater = 0;
for(int i =0;i<n;i++){
loggedWater+=Integer.min(leftMaxima[i],rightMaxima[i])-arr[i];
}
return loggedWater;
}
}

//TC: o(N) + o(N) for two passes,space complexity : o(N) for using list
//not optimal
class Solution {
public int removeDuplicates(int[] nums) {
List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();
int count = 0;
for(int i : nums)
if(!list.contains(i))
list.add(i);
int index = 0;
for(Integer val: list){
nums[index] = val;
index++;
}
return list.size();
}
}
//TC: o(N) , space complexity: O(1)
//optimized
class Solution {
public int removeDuplicates(int[] nums){
int i =0,j = i+1;
while(j<nums.length){
if(nums[i] == nums[j]){
j++;
continue;
}
if(nums[i] !=nums[j]){
int temp = nums[j];
nums[i+1] = nums[j];
nums[j] = temp;
i++;
}
}
return i+1;

}
Maximum product in contiguous subarray
TC:O(n),SC:constant
Inspired from Kadane's algorithm
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Solution {
public static int maximumProduct(ArrayList<Integer> list, int n) {
int a,b,c;

int temp = Integer.max(currentVal, Integer.max(a*currentVal,b*currentVal));
b = Integer.min(currentVal, Integer.min(a*currentVal,b*currentVal));
a = temp;
c = Integer.max(a,c);
}
return c;
}
}
Generate Pascal's triangle
TC: O(NM) where N is the no. of rows and M is max of elements in the row
class Solution {
public List<List<Integer>> generate(int numRows) {
// we will use simple approach
List<List<Integer>> list = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i =1;i<=numRows;i++){ // to keep track of row of the pyramid
List<Integer> l = new ArrayList<>();
int size = i;
for(int j =0;j<size;j++){
if(j==0) l.add(1); // it its the first index it will have 1
else{// for any index between first and last
//get the last row list
List<Integer> temp = list.get(list.size()-1);
while(j<size-1){ // we will run while loop before last index
l.add(temp.get(j) + temp.get(j-1)); // think about it what it does,
/*
it the repvious row had 1 2 2 1
next row will have 1 3 3 3 1 this is what line 15 calculates
*/
j++;
}
l.add(1); // it is last index it will have value 1
}
}
list.add(l);
System.out.println(list + " size "+ size);
}
return list;
}
}
Sort 0,1 and 2
Approach 1 : TC : O(NlogN)
class Solution {
public void sortColors(int[] nums) {
//way one we can use hashmap for solving this
Map<Integer,Integer> map = new TreeMap<>();
for(int i =0;i<nums.length;i++) map.put(nums[i],map.getOrDefault(nums[i],0)+1);
int index = 0;
for(Map.Entry<Integer,Integer> entry: map.entrySet()){
for(int i =0;i<entry.getValue();i++){
nums[index++] = entry.getKey();
}
}
}
}
Approach 2 : TC : O(n)
Strivers sde sheet solution
Optimal solution : TC: O(NlogN) + O(N) , nlogn for sorting and n for iterating
class Solution {
public int[][] merge(int[][] intervals) {
if(intervals.length ==0 || intervals ==null) return new int[0][];
Arrays.sort(intervals,(a,b)->a[0]-b[0]); // this is great snippet for sorting
List<int[]> list = new ArrayList<>();
int start = intervals[0][0];
int end = intervals[0][1];
for(int i[] : intervals){
if(end >= i[0]){
end = Integer.max(end,i[1]);
}
else{

start = i[0];
end = i[1];
}
}
list.add(new int[]{start,end});
return list.toArray(new int[0][]);
}
}
