MEDIUMArray, GreedyThere are n gas stations arranged in a circle. Station i provides gas[i] units of fuel, and driving from station i to the next station costs cost[i] units. The car starts with an empty tank. The task is to return an index from which the car can complete one full clockwise circuit, or -1 if no such index exists.

MEDIUMHash Table, Depth-First Search, Breadth-First Search, Graph TheoryThe input is a reference to one node in a connected, undirected graph. Each node stores a value and a list of neighboring nodes. The goal is to return a deep copy of the entire graph: every original node must have a newly created counterpart, and every edge must connect the corresponding copied nodes.

MEDIUMArray, Dynamic ProgrammingThe input is a triangle of numbers. A path starts at the top and moves down one row at a time. From position (row, column), the next value must be either directly below at (row + 1, column) or diagonally below-right at (row + 1, column + 1).

MEDIUMString, StackThe task is to turn a Unix-style absolute path into its canonical form. A canonical path always starts with one slash, uses one slash between directory names, has no trailing slash unless the path is the root, and removes navigation tokens that do not represent real directory names.

MEDIUMTree, Depth-First Search, Binary Search Tree, Binary TreeGiven the root of a binary tree, decide whether the tree is a valid binary search tree.
The important detail is that the BST rule is global, not just local. A node in the left subtree must be smaller than the root, not merely smaller than its parent. A node in the right subtree must be larger than the root, not merely larger than its parent. The same rule repeats at every node.

MEDIUMMath, String, SimulationGiven two non-negative integers as strings, return their product as a string. The catch is that the inputs may be too large for normal integer conversion, so the solution has to work with characters and digits directly.

HARDString, Binary Search, Sliding Window, Rolling Hash, Suffix Array, Hash FunctionGiven a string s, the task is to return any longest substring that appears at least twice in s. The two occurrences may overlap. For example, in banana, the answer is ana, because ana appears starting at index 1 and again at index 3.

MEDIUMArray, Two Pointers, SimulationThe input is an even-length array with exactly the same number of positive and negative integers. The task is to return a new ordering that starts with a positive number, alternates signs at every index, and keeps the relative order of the positive numbers and the relative order of the negative numbers.

MEDIUMMath, RecursionThe problem asks for the number of length-n digit strings that satisfy two position rules:
0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.2, 3, 5, or 7.Indices are zero-based, so index 0 is even. The string can start with 0; this is a digit string, not a normal integer representation. Because the answer can be enormous, return it modulo 1_000_000_007.

MEDIUMString, Dynamic ProgrammingGiven two strings, the task is to find the length of the longest sequence of characters that appears in both strings in the same relative order.
The characters do not need to be contiguous. For example, "ace" is a subsequence of "abcde" because a, c, and e appear in order, even though there are skipped characters between them.
