Given a non-empty string, encode the string such that its encoded length is the shortest. The encoding rule is: k[encoded_string], where the encoded_string inside the square brackets is being repeated exactly k times. Note: k will be a positive integ…
You want to build a house on an empty land which reaches all buildings in the shortest amount of distance. You can only move up, down, left and right. You are given a 2D grid of values 0, 1 or 2, where: Each 0 marks an empty land which you can pass b…
This is a follow up of Shortest Word Distance. The only difference is now word1 could be the same as word2. Given a list of words and two words word1 and word2, return the shortest distance between these two words in the list. word1 and word2 may be…
This is a follow up of Shortest Word Distance. The only difference is now you are given the list of words and your method will be called repeatedly many times with different parameters. How would you optimize it? Design a class which receives a list…
Given a list of words and two words word1 and word2, return the shortest distance between these two words in the list. For example,Assume that words = ["practice", "makes", "perfect", "coding", "makes"]. G…
Given a string S, you are allowed to convert it to a palindrome by adding characters in front of it. Find and return the shortest palindrome you can find by performing this transformation. For example: Given "aacecaaa", return "aaacecaaa&qu…

214-Shortest Palindrome Given a string S, you are allowed to convert it to a palindrome by adding characters in front of it. Find and return the shortest palindrome you can find by performing this transformation. For example: Given "aacecaaa", r…
Description A prefix of a string is a substring starting at the beginning of the given string. The prefixes of "carbon" are: "c", "ca", "car", "carb", "carbo", and "carbon". Note that t…
