LeetCode 693: Binary Number with Alternating Bits Solution

🚀 Day 13 of #LeetCode Challenge 🔢 Problem: 1758 – Minimum Changes To Make Alternating Binary String Today’s problem was about converting a binary string into an alternating pattern with minimum changes. 💡 Key Insight: An alternating string can only start with either ‘0’ or ‘1’. So instead of trying many possibilities, I compared both patterns and counted mismatches — then returned the minimum. ⏱️ Time Complexity: O(n) 📦 Space Complexity: O(1) ✨ This problem improved my thinking in: Pattern observation Optimization approach Writing clean and efficient Java code Consistency > Motivation 💪 #Day13 #Java #DSA #LeetCode #CodingJourney #FutureFullStackDeveloper

🚀 Day 38 of #100DaysOfLeetCode Today I solved "Container With Most Water" problem on LeetCode. 🔹 Difficulty: Medium 🔹 Concept Used: Two Pointer Technique 🔹 Language: Java 📌 Problem Summary: Given an array representing heights of vertical lines, the goal is to find two lines that together with the x-axis can contain the maximum amount of water. 💡 Approach: Instead of checking all possible pairs (O(n²)), I used the Two Pointer approach which reduces the time complexity to O(n). Steps: 1️⃣ Start with two pointers at the beginning and end of the array. 2️⃣ Calculate the area using the smaller height. 3️⃣ Move the pointer with the smaller height inward. 4️⃣ Track the maximum area during each step. 📊 Result: ✅ Runtime: 5 ms (Beats 81.86%) ✅ Memory: Beats 95.54% This problem was a great exercise to understand optimization using two pointers instead of brute force. Consistency is the key — moving forward one problem at a time! 💪 #LeetCode #100DaysOfCode #Java #DSA #CodingChallenge #ProblemSolving #SoftwareEngineering

LeetCode Problem || Check if Binary String Has at Most One Segment of Ones(1784)🚀 we need to check: The string should have only one continuous block of '1's. After a '0' appears, '1' should never appear again. ✨ Insight: Instead of manually counting segments using loops, we can simply check if "01" exists in the string. 📌 Time Complexity: O(n) Practicing problems like these helps improve pattern recognition and problem-solving efficiency. #LeetCode #DSA #Java #CodingPractice #ProblemSolving

Day 6/100 – LeetCode Challenge 🚀 Problem: #189 Rotate Array   Difficulty: Medium   Language: Java   Approach: Array Reversal Technique   Time Complexity: O(n)   Space Complexity: O(1) 🔍 Key Insight: Instead of shifting elements one by one, the array can be rotated efficiently using a three-step reversal strategy. Steps: 1️⃣ Reverse the entire array   2️⃣ Reverse the first k elements   3️⃣ Reverse the remaining elements  This achieves the required rotation in-place with constant extra space. 🧠 Solution Brief: Calculated k % n to handle cases where k is greater than array length.   Reversed the entire array first.   Then reversed the first k elements and the remaining n-k elements.   This sequence correctly rotates the array to the right. 📌 What I Learned: Understanding patterns like array reversal can simplify problems that initially seem complex.   Optimizing from brute force shifting to an in-place O(n) solution improves efficiency. #LeetCode #Day6 #100DaysOfCode #Java #DSA #Arrays #RotateArray #ProblemSolving #CodingJourney
