884. Uncommon Words from Two Sentences

We are given two sentences A and B.  (A sentence is a string of space separated words.  Each word consists only of lowercase letters.)

A word is uncommon if it appears exactly once in one of the sentences, and does not appear in the other sentence.

Return a list of all uncommon words.

You may return the list in any order.

 

Example 1:

Input: A = "this apple is sweet", B = "this apple is sour"
Output: ["sweet","sour"]

Example 2:

Input: A = "apple apple", B = "banana"
Output: ["banana"]

 

Note:

  1. 0 <= A.length <= 200
  2. 0 <= B.length <= 200
  3. A and B both contain only spaces and lowercase letters.

994. Rotting Oranges

In a given grid, each cell can have one of three values:

the value 0 representing an empty cell;
the value 1 representing a fresh orange;
the value 2 representing a rotten orange.
Every minute, any fresh orange that is adjacent (4-directionally) to a rotten orange becomes rotten.

Return the minimum number of minutes that must elapse until no cell has a fresh orange. If this is impossible, return -1 instead.

Example 1:

Input: [[2,1,1],[1,1,0],[0,1,1]]
Output: 4
Example 2:

Input: [[2,1,1],[0,1,1],[1,0,1]]
Output: -1
Explanation: The orange in the bottom left corner (row 2, column 0) is never rotten, because rotting only happens 4-directionally.
Example 3:

Input: [[0,2]]
Output: 0
Explanation: Since there are already no fresh oranges at minute 0, the answer is just 0.

Note:

1 <= grid.length <= 10
1 <= grid[0].length <= 10
grid[i][j] is only 0, 1, or 2.

996. Number of Squareful Arrays

Given an array A of non-negative integers, the array is squareful if for every pair of adjacent elements, their sum is a perfect square.

Return the number of permutations of A that are squareful. Two permutations A1 and A2 differ if and only if there is some index i such that A1[i] != A2[i].

Example 1:

Output: 2
Explanation: 
[1,8,17] and [17,8,1] are the valid permutations.

Example 2:

Input: [2,2,2]
Output: 1

Note:

1 <= A.length <= 12
0 <= A[i] <= 1e9

Solved this with PHP.

  1. Go through the input and construct array ‘peers’
    1. peers holds an array of pointers pointing to all possible ‘partners’ in the input.
    2. For example, [1 => [8=>ref(8)], 8 => [1=>ref(1), 17=>ref(17)], 17 => [8=>ref(8)]]
  2. Meanwhile, another array stat collect all numbers and its occurrence.
  3. Then peers is recursive. so it’s like a tree, with infinite depth.
  4. Starting from the root of peers, if found any number in ‘stat’, update (-1) stat, and move on to peers’ children
    1. if cannot find any match at some points, break;
    2. since stat is finite, the recursive func will run forever
  5. Calculate the sum.

Works well with even larger input length.

6. ZigZag Conversion

And then read line by line: “PAHNAPLSIIGYIR”

3. Longest Substring Without Repeating

Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.

Example 1:

Note that the answer must be a substring, "pwke" is a subsequence and not a substring.

I’ll also cover some mistakes I made.

  1.  Signup at https://developer.ebay.com
  2. Create an App and get the App ID (Client ID) and Cert ID (Client Secret)
  3. Click ‘User Tokens‘ (either from sandbox or production, depend on you)
  4. Click “Get a Token from eBay via Your Application” then “Add eBay Redirect URL“
  5. Fill in the form, the only important thing is the “Your auth accepted URL“, it should be under your domain. (You should able to extract the auth code from the call back later, for example $_GET[‘code’] in PHP),  let’s assume this  https://yourdomain.com/accept.php
  6. Take down the value of “RuName (eBay Redirect URL name)” and “Your branded eBay Production Sign In (OAuth)“

So far, we’ve done our preparation at developer.ebay.com

Then, on you local developing environment or you production server,:

  1. Set user login you own website
  2. put a hyperlink pointing to the URL of “Your branded eBay Production Sign In (OAuth)“
  3. visitor click on that link, and login with their ebay account.
  4. ebay will make a callback redirect to “Your auth accepted URL” if success.

On the “Your auth accepted URL“, prepare a PHP script that get the value of $_GET[‘code’] and save it in sessions. It starts with ‘v%5E1’. this is called “Authorization Code”

Next, get an “Access Token” with this “Authorization Code” 

Craft a HTTP Request with whatever you like with PHP.

HTTP headers:
Content-Type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Authorization = Basic <B64-encoded-oauth-credentials>

HTTP method: POST

URL: https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/identity/v1/oauth2/token

Request body (wrapped for readability):
grant_type=authorization_code&
code=<authorization-code-value>&
redirect_uri=<redirect_URI>

We have three ‘Variables’ here.

<B64-encoded-oauth-credentials>: Use a Chrome Browser, Right click, Inspect, Console
Then type: btoa(‘APP_ID:CERT_ID‘);
We did take down these two values earlier. and there is a : between.
Hit ENTER, the value inside the double quotes is <B64-encoded-oauth-credentials>

<authorization-code>: the ‘Authorization Code‘ we got in the callback redirect.

<redirect_URI>: This is the tricky part. This can’t be ignored or filled with random things, it’s the value of “RuName (eBay Redirect URL name)”

Send the request, and you’ll get the access token and the refresh token.
Follow the official guide to refresh the token if expired.

We are basically finished here, If you wanna call an API, ‘List orders as a seller’ for instance:

GET https://api.ebay.com/sell/fulfillment/v1/order

Headers:
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>
It’s Bearer this time :), don’t use Basic by mistake.
