In this exercise you will complete two coding problems using Hash Tables.
By the end of this exercise you should be able to:
- Use a hash table to solve a coding problem
- Identify how a hash table can produce a more attractive runtime over alternative solutions
Given an array of strings, group anagrams together.
Input: ["eat", "tea", "tan", "ate", "nat", "bat"],
Output:
[
["ate","eat","tea"],
["nat","tan"],
["bat"]
]
Note:
- All inputs will be in lowercase.
- The order of your output does not matter
Given a non-empty array of integers, return the k most frequent elements.
Input: nums = [1,1,1,2,2,3], k = 2
Output: [1,2]
Input: nums = [1], k = 1
Output: [1]
You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ number of unique elements.
You should be able to equal or beat O(n log n), where n is the array's size.
Determine if a 9x9 Sudoku board is valid. Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the following rules:
- Each row must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
- Each column must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
- Each of the 9 3x3 sub-boxes of the grid must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
Above is a valid Sudoku grid.
The Sudoku board could be partially filled, where empty cells are filled with the character '.'.
Example 1:
Input:
[
["5","3",".",".","7",".",".",".","."],
["6",".",".","1","9","5",".",".","."],
[".","9","8",".",".",".",".","6","."],
["8",".",".",".","6",".",".",".","3"],
["4",".",".","8",".","3",".",".","1"],
["7",".",".",".","2",".",".",".","6"],
[".","6",".",".",".",".","2","8","."],
[".",".",".","4","1","9",".",".","5"],
[".",".",".",".","8",".",".","7","9"]
]
Output: true
Example 2:
Input:
[
["8","3",".",".","7",".",".",".","."],
["6",".",".","1","9","5",".",".","."],
[".","9","8",".",".",".",".","6","."],
["8",".",".",".","6",".",".",".","3"],
["4",".",".","8",".","3",".",".","1"],
["7",".",".",".","2",".",".",".","6"],
[".","6",".",".",".",".","2","8","."],
[".",".",".","4","1","9",".",".","5"],
[".",".",".",".","8",".",".","7","9"]
]
Output: false
Explanation: Same as Example 1, except with the 5 in the top left corner being
modified to 8. Since there are two 8's in the top left 3x3 sub-box, it is invalid.
