Stacks And Queues
Is This String Valid?
AskAI
The function takes a string containing only three types of characters - '(', ')' and '*' - and returns whether the string is valid according to the following rules: 1. Any left parenthesis '(' must have a corresponding right parenthesis ')'. 2. Any right parenthesis ')' must have a corresponding left parenthesis '('. 3. Left parenthesis '(' must go before the corresponding right parenthesis ')'. 4. '*' could be treated as a single right parenthesis ')' or a single left parenthesis '(' or an empty string. 5. An empty string is also valid.
Check if a string of parentheses is balanced
AskAI
Given a string of parentheses, this algorithm determines whether the string is balanced. A string is balanced if it contains as many opening parentheses as it does closing parentheses, and if each opening parenthesis is matched with a closing parenthesis that appears after it in the string.
Implementing a Queue Using Two Stacks
AskAI
A queue can be implemented using two stacks. In this implementation, one stack is used for enqueueing items, and the other stack is used for dequeueing items. When an item is enqueued, it is pushed onto the enqueue stack. When an item is dequeued, it is popped from the dequeue stack. If the dequeue stack is empty, then the items in the enqueue stack are popped and pushed onto the dequeue stack.
Checking for Balanced Parentheses
AskAI
This function takes in a string of parentheses and determines if it is balanced. A string is balanced if each opening parentheses has a corresponding closing parentheses and the order of the parentheses is maintained.
Find the median of a stream of integers
AskAI
To find the median of a stream of integers, we can use a min heap and a max heap. We can keep track of the median by comparing the top elements of the heaps. If they are equal, then the median is the average of those two numbers. If the max heap has more elements, then the median is the top element of the max heap. Otherwise, the median is the top element of the min heap.
"Sum of Integers at Odd Indices"
AskAI
Write a function that takes in a list of integers and returns the sum of the integers at odd indices.
Largest Integer in a List
AskAI
This problem asks you to write a function that returns the largest integer in a given list. For example, if the input list is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], the largest integer in the list is 5.
