Leetcode 238: Product of Array Except Self

Problem Statement Description Given an integer array nums, return an array answer such that answer[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of nums except nums[i]. The product of any prefix or suffix of nums is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit integer. You must write an algorithm that runs in O(n) time and without using the division operation. Examples Example 1: Input: nums = [1,2,3,4] Output: [24,12,8,6] Example 2: Input: nums = [-1,1,0,-3,3] Output: [0,0,9,0,0] Constraints 2 <= nums....

Leetcode 876: Middle of the Linked List

Problem Statement Description Given the head of a singly linked list, return the middle node of the linked list. If there are two middle nodes, return the second middle node. Examples Example 1: flowchart LR a((1))-->b((2))-->c(3)-->d((4))-->e((5)) Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5] Output: [3,4,5] Explanation: The middle node of the list is node 3. Example 2: flowchart LR a((1))-->b((2))-->c((3))-->d(4)-->e((5))-->f((6)) Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5,6] Output: [4,5,6] Explanation: Since the list has two middle nodes with values 3 and 4, we return the second one....

Leetcode 543: Diameter of a Binary Tree

Problem Statement Description Given the root of a binary tree, return the length of the diameter of the tree. The diameter of a binary tree is the length of the longest path between any two nodes in a tree. This path may or may not pass through the root. The length of a path between two nodes is represented by the number of edges between them. Examples Example 1: flowchart TD a((1))-->b((2)) b-->c((4)) b-->d((5)) a-->e((3)) Input: root = [1,2,3,4,5] Output: 3 Explanation: 3 is the length of the path [4,2,1,3] or [5,2,1,3]....
