Day Of The Week

-
This is an one-liner. Problem: https://leetcode.com/problems/day-of-the-week/

Given a date, return the corresponding day of the week for that date.
The input is given as three integers representing the day, month and year respectively.
Return the answer as one of the following values {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"}.

Example 1:
Input: day = 31, month = 8, year = 2019
Output: "Saturday"
Example 2:
Input: day = 18, month = 7, year = 1999
Output: "Sunday"
Example 3:
Input: day = 15, month = 8, year = 1993
Output: "Sunday"

Constraints:
  • The given dates are valid dates between the years 1971 and 2100.

Here is the one-liner:

            return (new DateTime(year, month, day)).DayOfWeek.ToString();

Cheers, Marcelo

    and in Python it's `return calendar.day_name[calendar.weekday(year, month, day)]` :)

Changing the root of a binary tree

-

If you work with graphics and eventually you want to pivot a binary tree using a different node as the root, this might be interesting to you. Here is the problem:  Change the Root of a Binary Tree - LeetCode 1666. Change the Root of a Binary Tree Medium 6 14 Add to List Share Given the  root  of a binary tree and a  leaf  node, reroot the tree so that the  leaf  is the new root. You can reroot the tree with the following steps for each node  cur  on the path  starting from the  leaf  up to the  root ​​​  excluding the root : If  cur  has a left child, then that child becomes  cur 's right child. Note that it is guaranteed that  cur  will have at most one child. cur 's original parent becomes  cur 's left child. Return  the new root  of the rerooted tree. Note:  Ensure that your solution sets the  Node.parent  pointers correctly after rerooting or you will receive "Wrong Answer".   Example 1: Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], leaf = 7 Output: [7,2,nul

ProjectEuler Problem 719 (some hints, but no spoilers)

Last time that I solved a ProjectEuler (PE) problem was in 2015... This is their latest problem as of today:  https://projecteuler.net/problem=719 Number Splitting        Problem 719 We define an  S S -number to be a natural number,  n n , that is a perfect square and its square root can be obtained by splitting the decimal representation of  n n  into 2 or more numbers then adding the numbers. For example, 81 is an  S S -number because  81 − − √ = 8 + 1 81 = 8 + 1 . 6724 is an  S S -number:  6724 − − − − √ = 6 + 72 + 4 6724 = 6 + 72 + 4 . 8281 is an  S S -number:  8281 − − − − √ = 8 + 2 + 81 = 82 + 8 + 1 8281 = 8 + 2 + 81 = 82 + 8 + 1 . 9801 is an  S S -number:  9801 − − − − √ = 98 + 0 + 1 9801 = 98 + 0 + 1 . Further we define  T ( N ) T ( N )  to be the sum of all  S S  numbers  n ≤ N n ≤ N . You are given  T ( 10 4 ) = 41333 T ( 10 4 ) = 41333 . Find  T ( 10 12 ) The rules of PE prevent me from disclosing the solution (they are very picky about it, rightfully so), but I can chat abo
