Coding Interviews: Stacks and Queues

Given an array of integers heights representing the histogram's bar height where the width of each bar is 1, return the area of the largest rectangle in the histogram.

Given a string containing just the characters '(' and ')', return the length of the longest valid (well-formed) parentheses substring.

You are given an array of integers nums, there is a sliding window of size k which is moving from the very left of the array to the very right. You can only see the k numbers in the window. Each time the sliding window moves right by one position.

Return the max sliding window, ie an array with the max of the k numbers within the window, for each position as the window moves across the input. ex: [6,2,1,4] with k=2 would return [6,2,4]

You are given an array of k linked-lists lists, each linked-list is sorted in ascending order.

Merge all the linked-lists into one sorted linked-list and return it.

You have k lists of sorted integers in non-decreasing order. Find the smallest range that includes at least one number from each of the k lists.

We define the range [a, b] is smaller than range [c, d] if b - a < d - c or a < c if b - a == d - c

Given a string s representing a valid expression, implement a basic calculator to evaluate it, and return the result of the evaluation.

Note: You are not allowed to use any built-in function which evaluates strings as mathematical expressions, such as eval().

Implement a class that can find the median of a stream of numbers. The following methods should exist on the class:

void addNum(int num) adds the integer num from the data stream to the data structure.

double findMedian() returns the median of all elements so far. Answers within 10-5 of the actual answer will be accepted.
