# Intuition\nWhen first approaching this problem, we might think about simulating the entire process: comparing numbers, moving the smaller one to the end, and keeping track of the number of consecutive wins. However, a closer inspection reveals a couple of key insights. Firstly, if the game needs only one win (i.e., $...

Two strings are considered **close** if you can attain one from the other using the following operations: * Operation 1: Swap any two **existing** characters. * For example, `abcde -> aecdb` * Operation 2: Transform **every** occurrence of one **existing** character into another **existing** character, and d...
If k ≥ arr.length return the max element of the array. If k < arr.length simulate the game until a number wins k consecutive games.

You have an `inventory` of different colored balls, and there is a customer that wants `orders` balls of **any** color. The customer weirdly values the colored balls. Each colored ball's value is the number of balls **of that color** you currently have in your `inventory`. For example, if you own `6` yellow balls, the...
Use a stack to keep opening brackets. If you face single closing ')' add 1 to the answer and consider it as '))'. If you have '))' with empty stack, add 1 to the answer, If after finishing you have x opening remaining in the stack, add 2x to the answer.

You are given two linked lists: `list1` and `list2` of sizes `n` and `m` respectively. Remove `list1`'s nodes from the `ath` node to the `bth` node, and put `list2` in their place. The blue edges and nodes in the following figure indicate the result: _Build the result list and return its head._ **Example 1:** **In...
Build a dp array where dp[i][j] is the minimum cost to achieve all the cuts between i and j. When you try to get the minimum cost between i and j, try all possible cuts k between them, dp[i][j] = min(dp[i][k] + dp[k][j]) + (j - i) for all possible cuts k between them.

# Intuition\nTo find the minimum total cost of the cuts, we can use dynamic programming. We can start by sorting the cuts in ascending order and then consider all possible subproblems.\n\n# Approach\n1. Sort the cuts array in ascending order.\n2. Create a new array called `cuts_arr` by adding 0 at the beginning and `n`...

Given a wooden stick of length `n` units. The stick is labelled from `0` to `n`. For example, a stick of length **6** is labelled as follows: Given an integer array `cuts` where `cuts[i]` denotes a position you should perform a cut at. You should perform the cuts in order, you can change the order of the cuts as you ...
