Largest value path in a directed graph Problem

Problem In a directed graph, each node is assigned an uppercase letter. We define a path’s value as the number of most frequently-occurring letter along that path. For example, if a path in the graph goes through “ABACA”, the value of the path is 3, since there are 3 occurrences of ‘A’ on the path. Given a graph with n nodes and m directed edges, return the largest value path of the graph. If the largest value is infinite, then return null. ...

Floyd Cycle-Finding Algorithm

Floyd’s Cycle-Finding Algorithm Basic Algo Floyd Cycle Algorithm states that: Traverse linked list using two pointers. Move one pointer(slow_p or tortoise or walker) by one and another pointer(fast_p or hare or runner) by two. If these pointers meet at the same node then there is a loop. If pointers do not meet then linked list doesn’t have a loop. This is also called tortoise and hare approach. ...

Linked List Cycle 1 - Detect Cycle

Problem Given head, the head of a linked list, determine if the linked list has a cycle in it. Return true if there is a cycle in the linked list. Otherwise, return false. Examples Example 1 Input: head = [0, 1, 3, 2, 4] output: true Explanation: Cycle starts at node 2 ...

Linked List Cycle 2 - Find Start of a Cycle

Problem Given a circular linked list, implement an algorithm which returns node at the beginning of the loop. If there is no cycle, return null. Try solving it using constant additional space. Definition - Circular Linked List A (corrupt) linked list in which a node’s next pointer points to an earlier node, so as to make a loop in the linked list. This is extension of Linked List Cycle 1 - Detect Cycle ...

Linked List Cycle 4 - Delete cycle

Problem Given head, the head of a linked list, determine if the linked list has a cycle in it. Return true if there is a cycle in the linked list. Otherwise, return false. Examples Example 1 Input: head = [0, 1, 3, 2, 4] output: [0, 1, 3, 2, 4] Explanation: Cycle starts at node 2 ...
