Best team with no conflicts
We will sort the players by their score, and then we will iterate over the players and for each player we will find the best team that can be formed by including the current player. We will use a...

LFU cache
We will create a hashmap to store the key-value pairs and a doubly linked list to maintain the frequency of each key. When a key is accessed, check if it exists in the hashmap. If it does, update its...

Game of nim
We will calculate the XOR sum of all the piles, and check whether it's zero or not. For non zero value player 1 wins, otherwise player 2 wins.
Time complexity: O(n)

Data stream as disjoint intervals
We will construct the interval by expanding around each of the added numbers.
Time complexity: O(n) for getIntervals, O(1) for addNum
Space complexity: O(n)

Concatenated words
We can use the Trie data structure trie to store the words. Then for each word in the list of words, we use depth first search to see whether it is a concatenation of two or more words from the list....

Find closest node to given two nodes
We will calculate distances between node1 and other reachable nodes. Then we will do the same thing for node2 too. Then we will iterate the nodes that are on the path for both distances and find max....

Find minimum time to finish all jobs II
We can be greedy about the solution. We will sort all the workers and jobs, then iterate together to find the minimum time. We will start with the biggest worker and the biggest job. If the worker...

Queue reconstruction by height
We can sort people by their height in descending order and if heights are equal, by the number of people in front of them in ascending order. Then we can insert each person into the result array at...

Confusing number II
We can use backtracking to generate all possible numbers and check if they are confusing. We can generate all numbers with length from 1 to 9. For each length we can generate all numbers with digits...
