Product of Array Except Self. Given an array of n integers where n > 1, nums, return an array output such that output[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of nums except nums[i].	product_except_self.cpp
Given a sorted array, remove duplicates in place and return the new length. It doesn't matter what is in array beyond the unique elements size. Expected O(1) space and O(n) time complexity.	remove_duplicates.cpp
Count the number of islands in a grid. Given a grid representing 1 as land body, and 0 as water body, determine the number of islands (more details in problem comments)	count_islands.cpp
Find median from a data stream. Design a data structure that supports addNum to add a number to the stream, and findMedian to return the median of the current numbers seen so far. Also, if the count of numbers is even, return average of two middle elements, return median otherwise.	median_stream.cpp
Remove the minimum number of invalid parentheses in order to make the input string valid. Return all possible results. Note: The input string may contain letters other than the parentheses ( and )	remove_invalid_parenthesis.cpp
Given an array and a value, 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_element.cpp
Find intersection of two arrays/vectors, Given two vectors find the result of their interaction. The result should only contain unique characters and can be in any order	intersection_of_array.cpp
Given a pattern and a string str, find if str follows the same pattern. Here follow means a full match, such that there is a bijection between a letter in pattern and a non-empty word in str. example:
pattern = "abba", str = "dog cat cat dog" should return true.
pattern = "abba", str = "dog cat cat fish" should return false.
pattern = "aaaa", str = "dog cat cat dog" should return false.
pattern = "abba", str = "dog dog dog dog" should return false.	word_pattern.cpp
You are provided a vector of numbers, where each number represents
price of a stock on ith day. If you are permitted to only complete
one transaction per day (i.e buy one and sell one stock), design
an algorithm to find the maximum profit.	best_time_to_buy_sell.cpp
Given a sentence, reverse the order of characters in each word within a sentence while still preserving whitespace and initial word order.
Example:
Input: She loves chocolate
Output: ehs sevol etalocohc	reverse_words.cpp
