Set - Google Top Interview Questions


Problem Statement :


Implement a set data structure with the following methods:

CustomSet() constructs a new instance of a set

add(int val) adds val to the set


exists(int val) returns whether val exists in the set

remove(int val) removes the val in the set

This should be implemented without using built-in set.


Constraints

n ≤ 100,000 where n is the number of calls to add, exists and remove

Example 1

Input

methods = ["constructor", "add", "exists", "remove", "exists"]

arguments = [[], [1], [1], [1], [1]]`

Output

[None, None, True, None, False]

Explanation

c = CustomSet()

c.add(1)

c.exists(1) == True

c.remove(1)

c.exists(1) == False

                        Solution in C++ :

class CustomSet {
    int S = 1e3;
    vector<list<int>> v;
    hash<int> hs;

    public:
    CustomSet() {
        v.resize(S);
    }

    void add(int val) {
        if (exists(val)) return;
        int id = hs(val) % S;
        v[id].push_back(val);
    }

    bool exists(int val) {
        int id = hs(val) % S;
        for (int x : v[id]) {
            if (x == val) return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

    void remove(int val) {
        int id = hs(val) % S;
        for (auto it = v[id].begin(); it != v[id].end(); it++) {
            if (*it == val) {
                v[id].erase(it);
                return;
            }
        }
    }
};

Find the Running Median

The median of a set of integers is the midpoint value of the data set for which an equal number of integers are less than and greater than the value. To find the median, you must first sort your set of integers in non-decreasing order, then: If your set contains an odd number of elements, the median is the middle element of the sorted sample. In the sorted set { 1, 2, 3 } , 2 is the median.

Minimum Average Waiting Time

Tieu owns a pizza restaurant and he manages it in his own way. While in a normal restaurant, a customer is served by following the first-come, first-served rule, Tieu simply minimizes the average waiting time of his customers. So he gets to decide who is served first, regardless of how sooner or later a person comes. Different kinds of pizzas take different amounts of time to cook. Also, once h
