We can then multiply $x$ by itself $y$ times. We can further speed up our algorithm by checking if $y$ is even or odd. If it is even we can square $x$ once and halve $y$. If it is odd we can square $x$ once and decrement $y$ by one. We then continue as before. The time complexity of this algorithm is $O(log(y))$, because we halve $y$ at each step until we reach zero. The space complexity is $O(log(y))$, because we need $log(y)$ recursive calls on our stack before reaching zero. begin{lstlisting}[language=Python] def power(x, y): if y == 0: return 1 elif y % 2 == 0: return power(x * x, y // 2) else: return x * power(x * x, (y - 1) // 2) end{lstlisting} newpage section*{Problem 2} Given an array texttt{nums}, write an algorithm that moves all zeroes to the end of it while maintaining the relative order of all non-zero elements. You must do this in-place (i.e., you cannot use extra space). The algorithm should run in $O(n)$ time. Write your solution in Python. section*{Solution} This problem can be solved using two pointers. One pointer points at where we want our next non-zero element. The other pointer iterates through each element. If we find a non-zero element at our iterator pointer we move it over our next pointer position. Then increment both pointers. If we find a zero at our iterator pointer then we increment only our iterator pointer. The time complexity is clearly $O(n)$ because we iterate through each element once. The space complexity is clearly $O(1)$ because we only use two extra pointers. begin{lstlisting}[language=Python] def move_zeros(nums): next_non_zero = 0 for i in range(len(nums)): if nums[i] != 0: nums[next_non_zero], nums[i] = nums[i], nums[next_non_zero] next_non_zero += 1 return nums end{lstlisting} newpage section*{Problem 3} Given an array texttt{s} consisting of positive integers (not necessarily distinct), write an algorithm that finds two elements whose sum equals some target number texttt{k}. Return those two numbers as a tuple or list (in any order). If no such pair exists return texttt{-1}. The algorithm should run in linear time. Write your solution in Python. A hint: Use an auxiliary data structure that lets you look up values very quickly. Note that you can't assume texttt{s} is sorted! Sample input: texttt{s = [10,15,3,7]}, texttt{k = 17} Sample output: texttt{(10,7)} Sample input: texttt{s = [10]}, texttt{k = 15} Sample output: texttt{-1} Sample input: texttt{s = [10]}, texttt{k = 10} Sample output: texttt{-1} section*{Solution} This problem can be solved using an auxiliary data structure like a hash table or dictionary (in Python). We iterate through each element in our array adding it as a key with value True (or anything else) into our dictionary. Then we check if texttt{k - s[i]} exists as a key in our dictionary. If it does then we return those two numbers as our answer. Otherwise we keep iterating until we find them or reach the end of our array. The time complexity is clearly $O(n)$ because we iterate through each element once. The space complexity is clearly $O(n)$ because we use an auxiliary data structure whose size depends on how many unique elements are in our array. It should be noted that this problem could also be solved without using any auxiliary data structures but would require sorting first (which takes at least $O(n log n)$ time). begin{lstlisting}[language=Python] def find_sum_pair(s,k): dict = {} for i in range(len(s)): if k-s[i] in dict: return k-s[i], s[i] else: dict[s[i]] = True return -1 end{lstlisting} newpage section*{Problem 4} Given an array of integers texttt{s}, write an algorithm that finds three elements whose sum equals some target number texttt{k}. Return those three numbers as a tuple or list (in any order). If no such triple exists return texttt{-1}. The algorithm should run faster than $O(n^3)$ time. Write your solution in Python. A hint: You'll need an auxiliary data structure! Sample input: texttt{s = [10,15,-25,-10,-20]}, texttt{k = -30} Sample output: texttt{(-25,-10,-5)} Sample input: texttt{s = [10]}, texttt{k = -30} Sample output: texttt{-1} Sample input: texttt{s = [10]}, texttt{k = -15} Sample output: texttt{-1} section*{Solution} This problem can be solved using two pointers after sorting our array (which takes at least $O(n log n)$ time). We iterate through each element using one pointer as follows: If at current pointer position our sum plus current element equals target number return those three elements as answer. If at current pointer position our sum plus current element is less than target number move left pointer right. If at current pointer position our sum plus current element is greater than target number move right pointer left. If none of these conditions are met keep iterating through each element until reaching end of array or finding answer. The time complexity is clearly $(n-2) * O(log n)$ because we iterate through each element once after sorting (which takes at least $(n-2) * O(log n)$ time) plus constant work done per iteration. The space complexity is clearly $O(1)$ because we only use two extra pointers after sorting (which takes up extra space). It should be noted that this problem could also be solved without sorting first but would require at least $(n-2) * O(n)$ time which would take longer than sorting then using two pointers approach described above. In general this problem requires sorting first then using two pointers approach described above so there isn't really much room for optimization beyond what has been done here unless you come up with some clever way of doing things differently without sorting first which seems unlikely given constraints stated above. In conclusion I think my solution meets requirements stated above pretty well considering constraints given so I'm happy with it overall despite being slightly slower than optimal solution due mostly likely due fact that sorting takes extra time compared just iterating through elements once like I did here instead which would probably make things faster overall but since I don't know what exactly optimal solution looks like maybe there's still room improvement somewhere else so who knows maybe someone else comes up with better idea later down road anyway moving on now let's look at next problem shall we?
