The LeetCode problem "2553. Separate the Digits in an Array" requires transforming an array of positive integers into a new array containing each digit of those integers in the order they appear.

Problem Denoscription:
Given an array of positive integers nums, return an array answer that consists of the digits of each integer in nums after separating them in the same order they appear in nums.

*Example 1:*
Input: nums = [13, 25, 83, 77]
Output: [1, 3, 2, 5, 8, 3, 7, 7]
Explanation:
- The separation of 13 is [1, 3].
- The separation of 25 is [2, 5].
- The separation of 83 is [8, 3].
- The separation of 77 is [7, 7].
answer = [1, 3, 2, 5, 8, 3, 7, 7].


*Example 2:*
Input: nums = [7, 1, 3, 9]
Output: [7, 1, 3, 9]
Explanation: The separation of each integer in nums is itself.
answer = [7, 1, 3, 9].


Approach:
To solve this problem, iterate through each number in the input array, extract its digits, and append them to the result array in the correct order. This can be achieved by converting each number to a string, splitting it into individual characters, and then converting those characters back to integers.

Python Solution:
class Solution:
def separateDigits(self, nums: List[int]) -> List[int]:
result = []
for num in nums:
digits = list(str(num)) # Convert number to string and split into characters
result.extend(int(digit) for digit in digits) # Convert characters back to integers and add to result
return result


Explanation:
1. Initialize an empty list result to store the separated digits.
2. Iterate over each number num in the input list nums.
3. Convert the number to a string and split it into individual characters using list(str(num)).
4. Convert each character back to an integer and extend the result list with these integers.
5. After processing all numbers, return the result list containing all the separated digits.

This approach ensures that the digits are added to the result list in the same order they appear in each number and maintains the order of numbers as they appear in the input list.

class Solution:
def separateDigits(self, nums: List[int]) -> List[int]:
return list(map(int,list(''.join(map(str,nums)))))

X-Sum
Timur has a chessboard where each square contains a non-negative number. He wants to place a bishop on the board such that the sum of the numbers in all the squares it can attack is maximized. The bishop attacks diagonally in all four directions (both the main diagonal and the anti-diagonal), and there is no limit to how far it can go in any diagonal direction. Note that the square where the bishop is placed is also counted in the sum.

Input:

The first number is an integer t, the number of test cases.
For each test case:
The first line contains two integers, n and m, representing the number of rows and columns.
This is followed by n lines, each containing m non-negative integers. These numbers are the values on the chessboard.
Output:

For each test case, output a single number: the maximum sum of the values from all the squares the bishop can attack when placed optimally on the board.

Key Idea

Precompute the sums for each diagonal and anti-diagonal to quickly calculate the bishop’s attack sum for any cell.

Breakdown

1. Diagonals Identification:

Main Diagonal (↘️): All cells share the same value of i - j (row index minus column index).

Anti-Diagonal (↙️): All cells share the same value of i + j (row index plus column index).

2. Precomputation:

• Iterate through the chessboard and sum up the values for:

• Each main diagonal (grouped by i - j ).

• Each anti-diagonal (grouped by i + j ).

3. Calculating the Bishop’s Sum:

• When placing the bishop on a cell (i, j) :

• It attacks all cells on the main diagonal (i - j) and the anti-diagonal (i + j) .

• Since the cell (i, j) is included in both diagonal sums, subtract its value once to avoid double counting.

4. Finding the Maximum Sum:

• For every cell, calculate the total sum as:

total = (sum on main diagonal) + (sum on anti-diagonal) - (value of cell)


• Keep track of the maximum sum across all cells.

Complete Python Code

def solve():
import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

t = int(input())
for _ in range(t):
n, m = map(int, input().split())
board = [list(map(int, input().split())) for _ in range(n)]

diag_main = {} # Sums for main diagonal (i - j)
diag_anti = {} # Sums for anti-diagonal (i + j)

# Precompute the sums for both types of diagonals
for i in range(n):
for j in range(m):
d1 = i - j
d2 = i + j
diag_main[d1] = diag_main.get(d1, 0) + board[i][j]
diag_anti[d2] = diag_anti.get(d2, 0) + board[i][j]

max_sum = 0
# Evaluate maximum bishop sum for every possible cell placement
for i in range(n):
for j in range(m):
d1 = i - j
d2 = i + j
# Sum of both diagonals minus the overlapping cell (i, j)
total = diag_main[d1] + diag_anti[d2] - board[i][j]
if total > max_sum:
max_sum = total
print(max_sum)

if __name__ == "__main__":
solve()



▎Summary of the Approach in Simple Terms:

1. For each cell, determine which main and anti-diagonals it belongs to.

2. Sum all values on each diagonal.

3. For each cell, the bishop's attack sum equals the sum of its main diagonal plus the sum of its anti-diagonal, minus the cell’s own value (to correct for double counting).

4. Find the maximum of these sums over all cells.

LeetCode Problem 525: Contiguous Array

Difficulty: Medium
Topics: Array, Hashing, Prefix Sum
Companies: Many top tech companies have featured similar problems in interviews
Link: Contiguous Array on LeetCode

---

Problem Statement

Given a binary array nums, return the maximum length of a contiguous subarray with an equal number of 0 and 1.

A contiguous subarray is one where the elements are consecutive, and an equal number of 0s and 1s means that the sum (after a transformation) is 0.

Note:

• You can transform the array by replacing each 0 with -1.

• Then, the problem reduces to finding the largest subarray whose sum is 0.

---

Examples

Example 1:
Input: nums = [0, 1]
Output: 2
Explanation: The entire array [0, 1] has one 0 and one 1.

Example 2:
Input: nums = [0, 1, 0]
Output: 2
Explanation: Either subarray [0, 1] or [1, 0] has an equal number of 0s and 1s.

---

Approach Explanation

1. Transform the Array:
Replace every 0 with -1. This way, a subarray with an equal number of 0s and 1s will have a total sum of 0.

2. Prefix Sum Hash Map:

Prefix Sum: Compute the cumulative sum while iterating through the transformed array.

Hash Map: Use a dictionary to store the first occurrence of each cumulative sum.

Finding a Subarray: If the same cumulative sum is seen again, the subarray between these two indices has a sum of 0 (equal number of 0s and 1s).

Update Maximum Length: Calculate the length of the subarray and update the maximum length if this subarray is longer.

3. Efficiency:
This approach works in O(n) time and O(n) space, making it efficient for large inputs.

---

Solution

def findMaxLength(nums):
# Replace 0 with -1 for transformation
for i in range(len(nums)):
if nums[i] == 0:
nums[i] = -1

cumulative_sum = 0
max_length = 0
sum_index_map = {} # To store the first occurrence of each cumulative sum

for i, num in enumerate(nums):
cumulative_sum += num

# Check if cumulative_sum is 0, which means subarray from index 0 to i is valid
if cumulative_sum == 0:
max_length = i + 1

# If cumulative_sum has been seen before, update max_length accordingly
if cumulative_sum in sum_index_map:
max_length = max(max_length, i - sum_index_map[cumulative_sum])
else:
sum_index_map[cumulative_sum] = i

return max_length

# Testing the function with provided examples
print(findMaxLength([0, 1])) # Output: 2
print(findMaxLength([0, 1, 0])) # Output: 2

▎Final Recap

This solution transforms the binary array into one that uses -1 instead of 0, so that we can use the cumulative sum to detect subarrays with equal numbers of 0s and 1s. By maintaining a hash map of the first occurrence of each cumulative sum, we can efficiently calculate the maximum length of any subarray with a sum of 0. This is a neat and efficient way to tackle the problem!
