Opening Listed as easy, description: Given an array nums. We define a running sum of an array as runningSum[i] = sum(nums[0]…nums[i]). Return the running sum of nums. Example 1: Input: nums = [1,2,3,4] Output: [1,3,6,10] Explanation: Running sum is obtained as follows: [1, 1+2, 1+2+3, 1+2+3+4]. Example 2: Input: nums =…

Opening Easy Balanced strings are those who have equal quantity of ‘L’ and ‘R’ characters. Given a balanced string s split it in the maximum amount of balanced strings. Return the maximum amount of splitted balanced strings. Example 1: Input: s = "RLRRLLRLRL" Output: 4 Explanation: s can be split into "RL", "RRLL"…

Opening Easy Given an array arr, replace every element in that array with the greatest element among the elements to its right, and replace the last element with -1. After doing so, return the array. Example 1: Input: arr = [17,18,5,4,6,1] Output: [18,6,6,6,1,-1] Constraints: 1 <= arr.length <= 10^4 1 <=…

Opening Easy We are given a list nums of integers representing a list compressed with run-length encoding. Consider each adjacent pair of elements [freq, val] = [nums[2*i], nums[2*i+1]] (with i >= 0). For each such pair, there are freq elements with value val concatenated in a sublist. …

Opening Given a non-negative integer num, return the number of steps to reduce it to zero. If the current number is even, you have to divide it by 2, otherwise, you have to subtract 1 from it. Example 1: Input: num = 14 Output: 6 Explanation: Step 1) 14 is even; divide by…
