Two Sum
Easy
Topics
Companies
Hint
Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return indices of the two
numbers such that they add up to target.
You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may
not use the same element twice.
You can return the answer in any order.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2,7,11,15], target = 9
Output: [0,1]
Explanation: Because nums[0] + nums[1] == 9, we return [0, 1].
Example 2:
Input: nums = [3,2,4], target = 6
Output: [1,2]
Example 3:
Input: nums = [3,3], target = 6
Output: [0,1]
Constraints:
2 <= nums.length <= 104
-109 <= nums[i] <= 109
-109 <= target <= 109
Only one valid answer exists
2. Add Two Numbers
Medium
Topics
Companies
You are given two non-empty linked lists representing two non-negative integers.
The digits are stored in reverse order, and each of their nodes contains a single
digit. Add the two numbers and return the sum as a linked list.
You may assume the two numbers do not contain any leading zero, except the
number 0 itself.
Example 1:
Input: l1 = [2,4,3], l2 = [5,6,4]
Output: [7,0,8]
Explanation: 342 + 465 = 807.
Example 2:
Input: l1 = [0], l2 = [0]
Output: [0]
Example 3:
Input: l1 = [9,9,9,9,9,9,9], l2 = [9,9,9,9]
Output: [8,9,9,9,0,0,0,1]
Constraints:
The number of nodes in each linked list is in the range [1, 100].
0 <= Node.val <= 9
It is guaranteed that the list represents a number that does not have leading
zeros

7. Reverse Integer
Medium
Topics
Companies
Given a signed 32-bit integer x, return x with its digits reversed. If reversing x causes
the value to go outside the signed 32-bit integer range [-2 , 2 - 1], then return 0.
31 31
Assume the environment does not allow you to store 64-bit integers
(signed or unsigned).
Example 1:
Input: x = 123
Output: 321
Example 2:

8. String to Integer (atoi)
Medium
Topics
Companies
Implement the myAtoi(string s) function, which converts a string to a 32-bit signed
integer.
The algorithm for myAtoi(string s) is as follows:
1. Whitespace: Ignore any leading whitespace (" ").
2. Signedness: Determine the sign by checking if the next character is '-' or '+',
assuming positivity if neither present.
3. Conversion: Read the integer by skipping leading zeros until a non-digit
character is encountered or the end of the string is reached. If no digits were
read, then the result is 0.
4. Rounding: If the integer is out of the 32-bit signed integer range [-2 , 2 - 1], 31 31
then round the integer to remain in the range. Specifically, integers less than -
2 should be rounded to -2 , and integers greater than 2 - 1 should be rounded
31 31 31
to 2 - 1.
31
Return the integer as the final result.
Example 1:
Input: s = "42"
Output: 42
Explanation:
The underlined characters are what is read in and the caret is the current reader position.
Step 1: "42" (no characters read because there is no leading whitespace)
^
Step 2: "42" (no characters read because there is neither a '-' nor '+')
^
Step 3: "42" ("42" is read in)
^
Example 2:
Input: s = " -042"
Output: -42
Explanation:
Step 1: " -042" (leading whitespace is read and ignored)
^
Step 2: " -042" ('-' is read, so the result should be negative)
^
Step 3: " -042" ("042" is read in, leading zeros ignored in the result)
^
Example 3:
Input: s = "1337c0d3"
Output: 1337
Explanation:
Step 1: "1337c0d3" (no characters read because there is no leading whitespace)
^
Step 2: "1337c0d3" (no characters read because there is neither a '-' nor '+')
^
Step 3: "1337c0d3" ("1337" is read in; reading stops because the next character is a non-digit)
^
Example 4:
Input: s = "0-1"
Output: 0
Explanation:
Step 1: "0-1" (no characters read because there is no leading whitespace)
^
Step 2: "0-1" (no characters read because there is neither a '-' nor '+')
^
Step 3: "0-1" ("0" is read in; reading stops because the next character is a non-digit)
^
Example 5:
Input: s = "words and 987"
Output: 0
Explanation:
Reading stops at the first non-digit character 'w'.
Constraints:
0 <= s.length <= 200
s consists of English letters (lower-case and upper-case), digits ( 0-9), ' ', '+', '-',
and '.'.
9. Palindrome Number
Easy
Topics
Companies
Hint
Given an integer x, return true if x is a palindrome, and false otherwise.
Example 1:
Input: x = 121
Output: true
Explanation: 121 reads as 121 from left to right and from right to left.
Example 2:
Input: x = -121
Output: false
Explanation: From left to right, it reads -121. From right to left, it becomes 121-. Therefore it is not a
palindrome.
Example 3:
Input: x = 10
Output: false
Explanation: Reads 01 from right to left. Therefore it is not a palindrome.
Constraints:
-231 <= x <= 231 - 1
10. Regular Expression Matching
Hard
Topics
Companies
Given an input string s and a pattern p, implement regular expression matching with
support for '.' and '*' where:
'.' Matches any single character.
'*' Matches zero or more of the preceding element.
The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).
Example 1:
Input: s = "aa", p = "a"
Output: false
Explanation: "a" does not match the entire string "aa".
Example 2:
Input: s = "aa", p = "a*"
Output: true
Explanation: '*' means zero or more of the preceding element, 'a'. Therefore, by repeating 'a' once, it
becomes "aa".
Example 3:
Input: s = "ab", p = ".*"
Output: true
Explanation: ".*" means "zero or more (*) of any character (.)".
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 20
1 <= p.length <= 20
s contains only lowercase English letters.
p contains only lowercase English letters, '.', and '*'.
It is guaranteed for each appearance of the character '*', there will be a
previous valid character to match.
11. Container With Most Water

Topics
Companies
Hint
You are given an integer array height of length n. There are n vertical lines drawn such
that the two endpoints of the i line are (i, 0) and (i, height[i]).
th
Find two lines that together with the x-axis form a container, such that the container
contains the most water.
Return the maximum amount of water a container can store.
Notice that you may not slant the container.
Example 1:
Input: height = [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]
Output: 49
Explanation: The above vertical lines are represented by array [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]. In this case, the
max area of water (blue section) the container can contain is 49.
Example 2:
Input: height = [1,1]
Output: 1
Constraints:
n == height.length
2 <= n <= 105
0 <= height[i] <= 104
12. Integer to Roman
Medium

Companies
Seven different symbols represent Roman numerals with the following values:
Symbo
Value
l
I 1
V 5
X 10
L 50
C 100
D 500
M 1000
Roman numerals are formed by appending the conversions of decimal place
values from highest to lowest. Converting a decimal place value into a Roman
numeral has the following rules:
If the value does not start with 4 or 9, select the symbol of the maximal value
that can be subtracted from the input, append that symbol to the result,
subtract its value, and convert the remainder to a Roman numeral.
If the value starts with 4 or 9 use the subtractive form representing one
symbol subtracted from the following symbol, for example, 4 is 1 (I) less than
5 (V): IV and 9 is 1 (I) less than 10 (X): IX. Only the following subtractive forms
are used: 4 (IV), 9 (IX), 40 (XL), 90 (XC), 400 (CD) and 900 (CM).
Only powers of 10 (I, X, C, M) can be appended consecutively at most 3 times
to represent multiples of 10. You cannot append 5 (V), 50 (L), or 500 (D)
multiple times. If you need to append a symbol 4 times use the subtractive
form.
Given an integer, convert it to a Roman numeral.
Example 1:
Input: num = 3749
Output: "MMMDCCXLIX"
Explanation:
3000 = MMM as 1000 (M) + 1000 (M) + 1000 (M)
700 = DCC as 500 (D) + 100 (C) + 100 (C)
40 = XL as 10 (X) less of 50 (L)
9 = IX as 1 (I) less of 10 (X)
Note: 49 is not 1 (I) less of 50 (L) because the conversion is based on decimal places
Example 2:
Input: num = 58
Output: "LVIII"
Explanation:
50 = L
8 = VIII
Example 3:
Input: num = 1994
Output: "MCMXCIV"
Explanation:
1000 = M
900 = CM
90 = XC
4 = IV
Constraints:
1 <= num <= 3999

13. Roman to Integer
Easy
Topics
Companies
Hint
Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D and M.
Symbol Value
I 1
V 5
X 10
L 50
C 100
D 500
M 1000
For example, 2 is written as II in Roman numeral, just two ones added together. 12 is
written as XII, which is simply X + II. The number 27 is written as XXVII, which is XX + V
+ II.
Roman numerals are usually written largest to smallest from left to right. However,
the numeral for four is not IIII. Instead, the number four is written as IV. Because the
one is before the five we subtract it making four. The same principle applies to the
number nine, which is written as IX. There are six instances where subtraction is
used:
I can be placed before V (5) and X (10) to make 4 and 9.
X can be placed before L (50) and C (100) to make 40 and 90.
C can be placed before D (500) and M (1000) to make 400 and 900.
Given a roman numeral, convert it to an integer.
Example 1:
Input: s = "III"
Output: 3
Explanation: III = 3.
Example 2:
Input: s = "LVIII"
Output: 58
Explanation: L = 50, V= 5, III = 3.
Example 3:
Input: s = "MCMXCIV"
Output: 1994
Explanation: M = 1000, CM = 900, XC = 90 and IV = 4.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 15
s contains only the characters ('I', 'V', 'X', 'L', 'C', 'D', 'M').
It is guaranteed that s is a valid roman numeral in the range [1, 3999]
