Problem The distance of a pair of integers a and b is defined as the absolute difference between a and b. Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the kth smallest distance among all the pairs nums[i] and nums[j] where 0 <= i < j < nums.length. Examples Example 1: Input: nums = [1,3,1], k = 1 Output: 0 Explanation: Here are all the pairs: (1,3) -> 2 (1,1) -> 0 (3,1) -> 2 Then the 1st smallest distance pair is (1,1), and its distance is 0. ...
Problem Given two arrays arr1 and arr2, the elements of arr2 are distinct, and all elements in arr2 are also in arr1. Sort the elements of arr1 such that the relative ordering of items in arr1 are the same as in arr2. Elements that do not appear in arr2 should be placed at the end of arr1 in ascending order. Examples Example 1: Input: arr1 = [2,3,1,3,2,4,6,7,9,2,19], arr2 = [2,1,4,3,9,6] Output: [2,2,2,1,4,3,3,9,6,7,19] ...
Problem A school is trying to take an annual photo of all the students. The students are asked to stand in a single file line in non-decreasing order by height. Let this ordering be represented by the integer array expected where expected[i] is the expected height of the ith student in line. You are given an integer array heights representing the current order that the students are standing in. Each heights[i] is the height of the ith student in line (0-indexed). ...
Problem Given an array of integers citations where citations[i] is the number of citations a researcher received for their ith paper, return compute the researcher’s h-index. According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia: A scientist has an index h if h of their n papers have at least h citations each, and the other n − h papers have no more than h citations each. If there are several possible values for h, the maximum one is taken as the h-index. ...
