Subsets
Given a set of distinct integers, S, return all possible subsets.
Note:
- Elements in a subset must be in non-descending order.
- The solution set must not contain duplicate subsets.
Solution: recursion.
Maximum Gap
Given an unsorted array, find the maximum difference between the successive elements in its sorted form. Try to solve it in linear time/space. Return 0 if the array contains less than 2 elements. You may assume all elements in the array are non-negative integers and fit in the 32-bit signed integer range. In order to solve this in linear time, we cannot use general sorting algorithm. Here we use bucket sort. First, we scan the array to find the min and the max values. We can then create n - 1 buckets with equal size. Suppose we have n elements in total, then we have n - 2 elements except the min and the max. Scan the array again to put the n - 2 elements into these buckets. We should have at least one empty bucket. For each bucket, we record the min and the max for all the elements within that bucket. Finally, we scan all the buckets, and maintain the maximum gap. Note that the maximum gap between the successive elements in the sorted array can only be the gap between
