Determine whether matrix can be obtained by rotation
We will rotate the matrix 4 times and check if it is equal to the target matrix. Time complexity: O(n^2) Space complexity: O(n^2)

Largest perimeter triangle
We will sort the array in descending order and check if the sum of the first three numbers is greater than the sum of the next three numbers. If it is, we return the sum of the first three numbers....

Number of recent calls
We will use a queue to store the recent calls. We will remove the calls that are not in the range of 3000ms. Then we will return the size of the queue. Time complexity: O(n) Space complexity: O(n)

Increasing triplet subsequence
We will keep track of the smallest and second smallest number in the array. If we find a number that is greater than both, we return true. Otherwise, we return false. Time Complexity:...

Break a palindrome
We can check the half of the string and if a character is not a, we can replace it with a. If all characters are a, we can replace the last character with b. If the string is a single character, we...

Guess number higher or lower
This is a classic binary search problem. We will use binary search to find the number. We will use provided guess function to check whether the number is equal to the target or not....

Find bottom left tree value
We will traverse the tree with BFS and assign the first node of the each level in our result. At the end of the traversal, we will return the result, which will store the left most value of the last...

Convert bst to greater tree
We will iterate over the tree in reverse inorder and keep track of the sum of all the nodes we have traversed so far. We will add the sum to the current node and update the sum with the current node...

Two sum IV input is a bst
This is very similar to two sum problem. But rather than traversing an array, we will traverse a tree. We will be using DFS to traverse the tree and along with the way, we will store the difference...
