題目

Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D and M.

Symbol       Value
I             1
V             5
X             10
L             50
C             100
D             500
M             1000

For example, 2 is written as II in Roman numeral, just two one's added together. 12 is written as XII, which is simply X + II. The number 27 is written as XXVII, which is XX + V + II.

Roman numerals are usually written largest to smallest from left to right. However, the numeral for four is not IIII. Instead, the number four is written as IV. Because the one is before the five we subtract it making four. The same principle applies to the number nine, which is written as IX. There are six instances where subtraction is used:

• I can be placed before V (5) and X (10) to make 4 and 9. 
• X can be placed before L (50) and C (100) to make 40 and 90. 
• C can be placed before D (500) and M (1000) to make 400 and 900.

Given a roman numeral, convert it to an integer.

Example:

Input: s = "LVIII"
Output: 58
Explanation: L = 50, V= 5, III = 3.

Input: s = "MCMXCIV"
Output: 1994
Explanation: M = 1000, CM = 900, XC = 90 and IV = 4.

題目

Given n non-negative integers a1, a2, ..., an , where each represents a point at coordinate (i, ai). n vertical lines are drawn such that the two endpoints of the line i is at (i, ai) and (i, 0). Find two lines, which, together with the x-axis forms a container, such that the container contains the most water.

Notice that you may not slant the container.

Example:

Input: height = [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]
Output: 49
Explanation: The above vertical lines are represented by array [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]. In this case, the max area of water (blue section) the container can contain is 49.

這個題目也是相當地經典，就是題目給定一陣列，陣列內為由左到右每個 ...... ㄜ，這裡就叫『木板』好了，每個木板的高度。

而不同的木板之間，距離單位都是 1。我們要做的就是，找出能讓容器積蓄最多的水兩片木板，最後，回傳可以積蓄水的最大值。

Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D and M.

Symbol       Value
I             1
V             5

C             100
D             500
M             1000

For example, 2 is written as II in Roman numeral, just two one's added together. 12 is written as XII, which is simply X + II. The number 27 is written as XXVII, which is XX + V + II.

Roman numerals are usually written largest to smallest from left to right. However, the numeral for four is not IIII. Instead, the number four is written as IV. Because the one is before the five we subtract it making four. The same principle applies to the number nine, which is written as IX. There are six instances where subtraction is used:

-  I can be placed before V (5) and X (10) to make 4 and 9.

-  C can be placed before D (500) and M (1000) to make 400 and    900.

Given an integer, convert it to a roman numeral.

Example:

Input: num = 3
Output: "III"

Input: num = 58
Output: "LVIII"

Input: num = 1994
Output: "MCMXCIV"

題目給定一整數值，而我們要做的便是將整數值轉換成羅馬數字 —— 也就是說，我們需要回傳字串型態的答案。

題目

Write a function to find the longest common prefix string amongst an array of strings.

If there is no common prefix, return an empty string "".

Example:

Input: strs = ["flower","flow","flight"]
Output: "fl"

Input: strs = ["dog","racecar","car"]
Output: ""

題目給定一陣列，裡頭存放許多組字串，而我們要做的就是找到他們共同的前綴字串並回傳；若無共同的前綴，則回傳空字串 ""。

題目

Determine whether an integer is a palindrome. An integer is a palindrome when it reads the same backward as forward.

Follow up: Could you solve it without converting the integer to a string?

Example:

Input: x = 121
Output: true

Input: x = -121
Output: false

本題給定一範圍介於 -2^31-1 和 2^31 之間的整數值，然後我們必須判斷該數值是否顛倒過來也是相同的，有點像是數值本身的『回文』。

當然，這題將其數值轉成字串來解題是非常直覺的。不過在題目的 Follow up 中提到，是否能不轉為字串來解開這個題目呢？

題目

Implement atoi which converts a string to an integer.

The function first discards as many whitespace characters as necessary until the first non-whitespace character is found. Then, starting from this character takes an optional initial plus or minus sign followed by as many numerical digits as possible, and interprets them as a numerical value.

The string can contain additional characters after those that form the integral number, which are ignored and have no effect on the behavior of this function.

If the first sequence of non-whitespace characters in str is not a valid integral number, or if no such sequence exists because either str is empty or it contains only whitespace characters, no conversion is performed.

If no valid conversion could be performed, a zero value is returned.

Note:
Only the space character ' ' is considered a whitespace character.
Assume we are dealing with an environment that could only store integers within the 32-bit signed integer range: [−2^31,  2^31 − 1]. If the numerical value is out of the range of representable values, 2^31 − 1 or −2^31 is returned.

Example:

Input: str = "42"
Output: 42

Input: str = "   -42"
Output: -42

Input: str = "4193 with words"
Output: 4193

Input: str = "words and 987"
Output: 0

Input: str = "-91283472332"
Output: -2147483648

本題要實作 atoi() 這一函式，也即是題目給定一組字串輸入，我們要將其可能轉換成整數字串部分提取出來並回傳該整數。

• 若是字串先碰到文字，則回傳 0
• 若是該整數 > 2^31 -1 或整數 < -2^31，則回傳整數型態限制的最大值或最小值

題目

Given a string s, return the longest palindromic substring in s.

Example:

Input: s = "babad"
Output: "bab"
Note: "aba" is also a valid answer.

題目給定一個輸入字串，而我們要在這個字串中，找到最大的『回文子字串』。回文（palindromic）是什麼意思呢？就是即使字串顛倒過來也是相同的，就好比範例中的 bab 一樣，顛倒過來同樣是 bab。

不過這題要求回傳的答案只要是任一最長的回文子字串即可，不需要回傳『全部』的答案，也算是某種程度的佛心來著？（雖說只要將最長的都記錄起來就行了）

題目

The string "PAYPALISHIRING" is written in a zigzag pattern on a given number of rows like this: (you may want to display this pattern in a fixed font for better legibility)

P   A   H   N
A P L S I I G
Y   I   R

And then read line by line: "PAHNAPLSIIGYIR"

Write the code that will take a string and make this conversion given a number of rows:

string convert(string s, int numRows);

Example:

Input: s = "PAYPALISHIRING", numRows = 4
Output: "PINALSIGYAHRPI"
Explanation:
P     I    N
A   L S  I G
Y A   H R
P     I

這個題目給定輸入一個字串以及行高 numRows，我們將其重新排序成 Z 字型，並再次按照一行行的順序重新回傳字串。

也就是將這一字串重組。
