Problem Statement :
You are given a two-dimensional integer list requested_trips containing [start_x, end_x, num_passengers], and an integer capacity. Each requested trip asks to pick up num_passengers passenger at start_x and drop them off at end_x. You also have a car with the given capacity, and start at x = 0.
Given that you'd like to pick up every passenger and can only move right, return whether you can pick up and drop off everyone.
Constraints
n ≤ 100,000 where n is the length of requested_trips
Example 1
Input
trips = [
[1, 30, 2],
[3, 5, 3],
[5, 9, 3]
]
capacity = 6
Output
True
Solution :
Solution in C++ :
bool solve(vector<vector<int>>& trips, int capacity) {
vector<pair<int, int>> helper;
for (auto& v : trips) {
helper.emplace_back(v[0], v[2]);
helper.emplace_back(v[1], -v[2]);
}
sort(helper.begin(), helper.end());
for (auto& p : helper) {
capacity -= p.second;
if (capacity < 0) return false;
}
return true;
}
Solution in Python :
class Solution:
def solve(self, trips, capacity):
events = [0] * (max([_[1] for _ in trips]) + 1)
# print(len(events))
for start, end, passengers in trips:
events[start] += passengers
events[end] += -passengers
# print(events)
curr_capacity = 0
for event in events:
curr_capacity += event
if curr_capacity > capacity:
return False
return True

Sparse Arrays
There is a collection of input strings and a collection of query strings. For each query string, determine how many times it occurs in the list of input strings. Return an array of the results. Example: strings=['ab', 'ab', 'abc'] queries=['ab', 'abc', 'bc'] There are instances of 'ab', 1 of 'abc' and 0 of 'bc'. For each query, add an element to the return array, results=[2,1,0]. Fun
View Solution →Array Manipulation
Starting with a 1-indexed array of zeros and a list of operations, for each operation add a value to each of the array element between two given indices, inclusive. Once all operations have been performed, return the maximum value in the array. Example: n=10 queries=[[1,5,3], [4,8,7], [6,9,1]] Queries are interpreted as follows: a b k 1 5 3 4 8 7 6 9 1 Add the valu
View Solution →Print the Elements of a Linked List
This is an to practice traversing a linked list. Given a pointer to the head node of a linked list, print each node's data element, one per line. If the head pointer is null (indicating the list is empty), there is nothing to print. Function Description: Complete the printLinkedList function in the editor below. printLinkedList has the following parameter(s): 1.SinglyLinkedListNode
View Solution →Insert a Node at the Tail of a Linked List
You are given the pointer to the head node of a linked list and an integer to add to the list. Create a new node with the given integer. Insert this node at the tail of the linked list and return the head node of the linked list formed after inserting this new node. The given head pointer may be null, meaning that the initial list is empty. Input Format: You have to complete the SinglyLink
View Solution →Insert a Node at the head of a Linked List
Given a pointer to the head of a linked list, insert a new node before the head. The next value in the new node should point to head and the data value should be replaced with a given value. Return a reference to the new head of the list. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is empty. Function Description: Complete the function insertNodeAtHead in the editor below
View Solution →Insert a node at a specific position in a linked list
Given the pointer to the head node of a linked list and an integer to insert at a certain position, create a new node with the given integer as its data attribute, insert this node at the desired position and return the head node. A position of 0 indicates head, a position of 1 indicates one node away from the head and so on. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is e
