If your machine has at least two CPU threads, you will be able to max-out CPU resources using multi-threaded scripting in Bash. The reason for this is simple; as soon as a secondary ‘thread’ (read: subshell) is started, then that subsequent thread can (and often will) use a different CPU thread.

  • Next Permutation ★ — Implement next permutation, which rearranges numbers into the lexicographically next greater permutation of numbers. If such arrangement is not possible, it must rearrange it as the lowest possible order (ie, sorted in ascending order). The replacement must be in-place and use only constant extra memory.
  • Find First and Last Position of Element in Sorted Array — Given an array of integers nums sorted in ascending order, find the starting and ending position of a given target value. Your algorithm's runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).
  • Maximum Width Ramp ★ — Given an array A of integers, a ramp is a tuple (i, j) for which i < j and A[i] <= A[j]. The width of such a ramp is j - i. Find the maximum width of a ramp in A. If one doesn't exist, return 0.
  • Flip Equivalent Binary Trees — For a binary tree T, we can define a flip operation as follows: choose any node, and swap the left and right child subtrees. A binary tree X is flip equivalent to a binary tree Y if and only if we can make X equal to Y after some number of flip operations. Write a function that determines whether two binary trees are flip equivalent. The trees are given by root nodes root1 and root2.
  • Remove Element — Given an array nums and a value val, remove all instances of that value in-place and return the new length. Do not allocate extra space for another array, you must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory. The order of elements can be changed. It doesn't matter what you leave beyond the new length.
  • Remove Duplicates from Sorted Array — Given a sorted array nums, remove the duplicates in-place such that each element appear only once and return the new length. Do not allocate extra space for another array, you must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.
  • Reverse Nodes in k-Group — Given a linked list, reverse the nodes of a linked list k at a time and return its modified list. k is a positive integer and is less than or equal to the length of the linked list. If the number of nodes is not a multiple of k then left-out nodes in the end should remain as it is.
  • Swap Nodes in Pairs — Given a linked list, swap every two adjacent nodes and return its head.
  • Generate Parentheses — Given n pairs of parentheses, write a function to generate all combinations of well-formed parentheses.
  • Merge Two Sorted Lists — Merge two sorted linked lists and return it as a new list. The new list should be made by splicing together the nodes of the first two lists.
  • Valid Parentheses — Given a string containing just the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']', determine if the input string is valid.
  • Pow(x, n) — Implement pow(x, n), which calculates x raised to the power n (xn).
  • Remove Nth Node From End of List — Given a linked list, remove the n-th node from the end of list and return its head.
  • Longest Common Prefix — 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 "".
  • Roman to Integer — Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D and M.
  • Integer to Roman — Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D and M.
  • String to Integer (atoi) — Implement atoi which converts a string to an integer.
  • Reverse Integer — Given a 32-bit signed integer, reverse digits of an integer.
  • ZigZag Conversion — 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)
  • Longest Palindromic Substring — Given a string s, find the longest palindromic substring in s. You may assume that the maximum length of s is 1000.
  • Merge k Sorted Lists — Merge k sorted linked lists and return it as one sorted list. Analyze and describe its complexity.
  • Median of Two Sorted Arrays — There are two sorted arrays nums1 and nums2 of size m and n respectively. Find the median of the two sorted arrays. The overall run time complexity should be O(log (m+n)).
  • Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters — Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.
  • Two Sum — Given an array of integers, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to a specific target.
  • Climbing Stairs ★ — You are climbing a stair case. It takes n steps to reach to the top. Each time you can either climb 1 or 2 steps. In how many distinct ways can you climb to the top?
  • Add Two Numbers — You are given two non-empty linked lists representing two non-negative integers. The digits are stored in reverse order and each of their nodes contain a single digit. Add the two numbers and return it as a linked list.
  • 4Sum — Given an array nums of n integers and an integer target, are there elements a, b, c, and d in nums such that a + b + c + d = target? Find all unique quadruplets in the array which gives the sum of target.
  • 3Sum — Given an array nums of n integers, are there elements a, b, c in nums such that a + b + c = 0? Find all unique triplets in the array which gives the sum of zero.
