Traverse a tree where the root node is given with a zig-zag level and return the values in a list with one entry per level. For example:
--> 3
/ \
9 5 <--
/ \
--> 7 8
Returns: [[3], [5,9], [7,8]]
Given the root node of a binary tree, print all values in order, meaning from left to right on the same level.
To solve this, we can use the standard breadth-first-search (BFS) algorithm in an iterative fashion with a queue. As an output we use a list and leverage the position -1 to add the current level to the list. For every level we append one new element to the end of the list.
Given a Sudoku field as a two-dimension list, determine if the field is valid. A valid field only has the number 1-9 once in each sub-field, each row, and each column. The field is not completely filled and we don’t need to check for a valid solution.
Given a list nums and a positive integer k, return the top k frequent items from the list. A time complexity constraint is not given for this task.
Given an array n of integers, find one peak in O(log*n) time. A peak is defined as a number where the two numbers immediately left and right are strictly less than the number. Numbers outside of the bounds of this array are considered to be smaller.
