HackerRank Largest Permutation in Java

In this post we will be solving the HackerRank Largest Permutation problem using the Java programming language, the VSCode IDE and a Windows computer.

You are given an unordered array of `unique integers` incrementing from 1.
You can swap any two elements a limited number of times.

Determine the largest lexicographical value array that can be created 
by executing `no more` than the limited number of swaps.

Constraints

o 1 <= n <= 10^5
o 1 <= k <= 10^9

We are given a list of unique integers incrementing from 1. We can swap two values at a time up to a number `k`. We need to return the largest possible permutation in the list. Continue reading “HackerRank Largest Permutation in Java”

LeetCode 42. Trapping Rain Water in Java

In this post we will solve the LeetCode 42. Trapping Rain Water problem using the Java programming language and the VSCode IDE on a Windows computer. The simplest approach is to develop the code on the online IDE provided by LeetCode.

Given n non-negative integers representing an 
elevation map where the width of each bar is 1, 
compute how much water it can trap after raining.

Constraints:

o n == height.length
o 1 <= n <= 2 * 10^4
o 0 <= height[i] <= 10^5

The diagram on the LeetCode page is very useful to get the general idea of what the problem is. It also helps to draw the diagram on a piece of paper and figure out an approach. We need to calculate the amount of water on each cell and add them together to get our result. The trick is in how we implement the task. Continue reading “LeetCode 42. Trapping Rain Water in Java”
