Letter Case Permutation LeetCode Solution - The Coding Shala

Home >> LeetCode >> Letter Case Permutation

 In this post, we will learn how to solve LeetCode's Letter Case Permutation Problem and will implement its solution in Java.

Letter Case Permutation Problem

Given a string S, we can transform every letter individually to be lowercase or uppercase to create another string.

Example 1:
Input: S = "a1b2"
Output: ["a1b2","a1B2","A1b2","A1B2"]

Example 2:
Input: S = "3z4"
Output: ["3z4","3Z4"]

Example 3:
Input: S = "12345"
Output: ["12345"]

LeetCode - Letter Case Permutation Java Solution

Approach 1

Finding all the possible strings. (iterative solution)

Java Program: 

class Solution {
    public List<String> letterCasePermutation(String S) {
        List<String> res = new ArrayList<>();
        res.add(S);
        for(int i=0; i<S.length(); i++) {
            if((S.charAt(i) >= 'a' && S.charAt(i) <= 'z')  || (S.charAt(i) >= 'A' && S.charAt(i) <= 'Z')) {
                char ch = S.charAt(i);
                String str = "";
                if(S.charAt(i) >= 'a' && S.charAt(i) <= 'z') {
                    str = Character.toString(ch).toUpperCase();
                }
                if(S.charAt(i) >= 'A' && S.charAt(i) <= 'Z') {
                    str = Character.toString(ch).toLowerCase();
                }
                
                int len = res.size();
                for(int j=0; j<len; j++) {
                    String temp = res.get(j);
                    if(i==0) {
                        String newStr = str + temp.substring(1, temp.length());
                        res.add(newStr);
                    } else if(i == temp.length()-1) {
                        String newStr = temp.substring(0, temp.length()-1) + str;
                        res.add(newStr);
                    } else {
                        String newStr = temp.substring(0, i) + str + temp.substring(i+1, temp.length());
                        res.add(newStr);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return res;
    }
}

Approach 2

Using Recursion.

Java Program: 

class Solution {
    
    public void helper(List<String> res, int index, char[] str) {
        if(index == str.length) {
            res.add(new String(str));
        } else {
            if(Character.isLetter(str[index])) {
                str[index] = Character.toUpperCase(str[index]);
                helper(res, index+1, str);
                str[index] = Character.toLowerCase(str[index]);
            }
            helper(res, index+1, str);
        }
        
    }
    
    public List<String> letterCasePermutation(String S) {
        List<String> res = new ArrayList<>();
        helper(res, 0, S.toCharArray());
        return res;
    }
}

Java Program to Convert Binary to Decimal - The Coding Shala

Home >> Java Programs >> Convert Binary to Decimal  Hey there, welcome back to another post. In this post, we will learn how to convert Binary to Decimal in Java. Java Program to Convert Binary to Decimal You have given a binary number, convert it to a decimal number. Example:  Input: 101 Output: 5 Input: 111 Output: 7 Binary to Decimal Conversion in Java Approach We will the below formula to convert binary to decimal: decimal number = (2^0) * (rightmost digit) + (2^1) * (second rightmost digit) + ...  for example:  binary number = 110 decimal number = 2^0 * 0 + 2^1 * 1 + 2^2 * 1 = 1 * 0 + 2 * 1 + 4 * 1 = 0 + 2 + 4 = 6 Java Program:  import java.util.Scanner; /** * https://www.thecodingshala.com/ */ public class Main { public static void printDecimal( int num) { int decimal = 0; int twos = 1; // 2^0 = 1 initial value while (num > 0) { ...

New Year Chaos Solution - The Coding Shala

Home >> Programming Questions >> New Year Chaos New Year Chaos Problem Solution In this post, you will learn how to solve New Year Chaos Problem and implement its solution in Java. Problem:   It's New Year's Day and everyone's in line for the Wonderland rollercoaster ride! There are a number of people queued up, and each person wears a sticker indicating their initial position in the queue. Initial positions increment from at the front of the line to at the back.  Any person in the queue can bribe the person directly in front of them to swap positions. If two people swap positions, they still wear the same sticker denoting their original places in line. One person can bribe at most two others.  For Example, if n=8 and Person 5 bribes Person 4, the queue will look like this: 1,2,3,5,4,6,7,8. Fascinated by this chaotic queue, you decide you must know the minimum number of bribes that took place to get the queue into its current state. Inpu...

N-th Tribonacci Number Solution - The Coding Shala

Home >> Programming >> N-th Tribonacci Number  Hey there, welcome back to another post. In this post, we will learn how to solve the N-th Tribonacci Number problem and will implement its solution in Java. N-th Tribonacci Number Problem Statement The Tribonacci sequence Tn is defined as follows: T0 = 0, T1 = 1, T2 = 1, and Tn+3 = Tn + Tn+1 + Tn+2 for n >= 0. Given n, return the value of Tn.  Example 1:  Input: n = 4 Output: 4 Explanation: T_3 = 0 + 1 + 1 = 2 T_4 = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 N-th Tribonacci Number Java Solution using Bottom-Up DP This problem is similar to the Fibonacci series. We can solve it using the Bottom-Up approach of dynamic programming. Time Complexity: O(n) Space Complexity: O(n) The space complexity can be reduced to O(1) by using variables to store the previous three values instead of using an array. Java Program:  class Solution { public int tribonacci( int n) { if (n == 0) return 0; ...

Java Method Overloading - The Coding Shala

Image
Home >> Learn Java >> Java Method Overloading Java Method Overloading Java class can have more than one method with the same name but different in parameters, known as Method Overloading. Question: What is the use of method overloading? Answer:  Suppose we want to perform some operation like an addition but addition can be performed between two numbers, three numbers or two floats or more. So instead of using different methods, we use the same name of the method with different parameters. This can increase the readability of the program. Method overloading can be achieved by changing numbers of arguments or by changing the data types. Example of Method Overloading in Java The following example explains Method Overloading: //Method Overloading example class Addition { public int add ( int a , int b ){ return a + b ; } public int add ( int a , int b , int c ){ return a + b + c ; ...
