Create Balanced BST

-
Problem is here: https://leetcode.com/problems/balance-a-binary-search-tree/

1382. Balance a Binary Search Tree
Medium
Given a binary search tree, return a balanced binary search tree with the same node values.
A binary search tree is balanced if and only if the depth of the two subtrees of every node never differ by more than 1.
If there is more than one answer, return any of them.

Example 1:
Input: root = [1,null,2,null,3,null,4,null,null]
Output: [2,1,3,null,null,null,4]
Explanation: This is not the only correct answer, [3,1,4,null,2,null,null] is also correct.

Constraints:
  • The number of nodes in the tree is between 1 and 10^4.
  • The tree nodes will have distinct values between 1 and 10^5.

There is a standard way to create a balanced BST from a sorted array, which is this:

1) Get the Middle of the array and make it root.
2) Recursively do same for left half and right half.
      a) Get the middle of left half and make it left child of the root
          created in step 1.
      b) Get the middle of right half and make it right child of the
          root created in step 1.

To get the sorted array from the initial BST, perform an in-order traversal. Code is below, cheers, ACC.



 public class Solution
{
    public TreeNode BalanceBST(TreeNode root)
    {
        List<int> list = new List<int>();
        InOrder(root, list);
        int[] sortedArr = list.ToArray<int>();
        return CreateBalanceBST(sortedArr, 0, sortedArr.Length - 1);
    }

     private TreeNode CreateBalanceBST(int[] sortedArr, int left, int right)
    {
        if (left > right) return null;
        int mid = (left + right) / 2;
        TreeNode node = new TreeNode(sortedArr[mid]);
        node.left = CreateBalanceBST(sortedArr, left, mid - 1);
        node.right = CreateBalanceBST(sortedArr, mid + 1, right);
        return node;
    }

     private void InOrder(TreeNode node,
                            List<int> list)
    {
        if (node == null) return;
        InOrder(node.left, list);
        list.Add(node.val);
        InOrder(node.right, list);
    }
}

Count Binary Substrings

Problem by Leetcode:  https://leetcode.com/problems/count-binary-substrings/description/ Give a string  s , count the number of non-empty (contiguous) substrings that have the same number of 0's and 1's, and all the 0's and all the 1's in these substrings are grouped consecutively. Substrings that occur multiple times are counted the number of times they occur. Example 1: Input: "00110011" Output: 6 Explanation: There are 6 substrings that have equal number of consecutive 1's and 0's: "0011", "01", "1100", "10", "0011", and "01". Notice that some of these substrings repeat and are counted the number of times they occur. Also, "00110011" is not a valid substring because all the 0's (and 1's) are not grouped together. Example 2: Input: "10101" Output: 4 Explanation: There are 4 substrings: "10", "01", "10", "01&

Count Vowels Permutation: Standard DP

Standard DP problem:  https://leetcode.com/problems/count-vowels-permutation/ Given an integer  n , your task is to count how many strings of length  n  can be formed under the following rules: Each character is a lower case vowel ( 'a' ,  'e' ,  'i' ,  'o' ,  'u' ) Each vowel  'a'  may only be followed by an  'e' . Each vowel  'e'  may only be followed by an  'a'  or an  'i' . Each vowel  'i'   may not  be followed by another  'i' . Each vowel  'o'  may only be followed by an  'i'  or a  'u' . Each vowel  'u'  may only be followed by an  'a'. Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo  10^9 + 7. Example 1: Input: n = 1 Output: 5 Explanation: All possible strings are: "a", "e", "i" , "o" and "u". Example 2: Input: n = 2 Output: 10 Explanation: All possible strings are

#431 in my solved list:  https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-number-of-balloons/ Given a string  text , you want to use the characters of  text  to form as many instances of the word  "balloon"  as possible. You can use each character in  text   at most once . Return the maximum number of instances that can be formed.   Example 1: Input: text = "nlaebolko" Output: 1 Example 2: Input: text = "loonbalxballpoon" Output: 2 Example 3: Input: text = "leetcode" Output: 0 Constraints: 1 <= text.length <= 10^4 text  consists of lower case English letters only. Solution is as follows:  - Count the number of occurrences of the "balloon" letters in the input string  - For "l" and "o", divide the count by 2  - If the balloon string is not fully covered, return 0  - Return the min number across all occurrences Code is below, cheers, ACC. public class Solution {     public int M
