Find top k repeating elements

Given a non-empty array of integers, return the k most frequent elements.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,1,1,2,2,3], k = 2
Output: [1,2]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1], k = 1
Output: [1]

Note:

You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ number of unique elements.
Your algorithm's time complexity must be better than O(n log n), where n is the array's size.

Java 8- Sorting a hashmap (by key and by value) using lambda expression and streams

Sometimes while working on business problems, it’s very common to come across use cases wherein a map needs to be sorted by either keys or by values. In this post, we will cover some of the examples to sort a map of primitives and custom objects. In below approaches, we will not destroy existing map and will create a new map to ensure consistency of sorting 1. Sort HashMap by key In order to sort a map by key, all we need to do is to use sorted method of stream interface and pass a default default/custom comparator to it. Moreover, to sort by keys, we need to use comparingByKey method of Entry interface of Map. 2. Sort HashMap by values In order to sort a map by key, all we need to do is to use sorted method of stream interface and pass a default default/custom comparator to it. Moreover, to sort by keys, we need to use comparingByValue method of Entry interface of Map.

Walls and gates- Find shortest distances between rooms and gates

Leetcode: Walls and Gates You are given a m x n 2D grid initialized with these three possible values. -1 - A wall or an obstacle. 0 - A gate. INF - Infinity means an empty room. We use the value 2 31 - 1 = 2147483647 to represent INF as you may assume that the distance to a gate is less than 2147483647 . Fill each empty room with the distance to its nearest gate. If it is impossible to reach a gate, it should be filled with INF . For example, given the 2D grid: INF -1 0 INF INF INF INF -1 INF -1 INF -1 0 -1 INF INF After running your function, the 2D grid should be: 3 -1 0 1 2 2 1 -1 1 -1 2 -1 0 -1 3 4 Understand the problem: It is very classic backtracking problem. We can start from each gate (0 point), and searching for its neighbors. We can either use DFS or BFS solution. Below is a DFS solution-

Design LRU Cache

Design and implement a data structure for Least Recently Used (LRU) cache . It should support the following operations: get and put . get(key) - Get the value (will always be positive) of the key if the key exists in the cache, otherwise return -1. put(key, value) - Set or insert the value if the key is not already present. When the cache reached its capacity, it should invalidate the least recently used item before inserting a new item. Follow up: Could you do both operations in O(1) time complexity? Example: LRUCache cache = new LRUCache( 2 /* capacity */ ); cache.put(1, 1); cache.put(2, 2); cache.get(1); // returns 1 cache.put(3, 3); // evicts key 2 cache.get(2); // returns -1 (not found) cache.put(4, 4); // evicts key 1 cache.get(1); //...
