tomatocream 1dec88aaf2 feat: populate note files with problem descriptions and code stubs
Add populate-notes.mjs that fetches problem descriptions and
Python/C++ code stubs from LeetCode's GraphQL API. Populated
all 197 NeetCode 150 note files with:
- Problem description (examples, constraints)
- Python code stub (function signature)
- C++ code stub (function signature + includes)

API responses cached in leetcode/.cache/leetcode/ for instant re-runs.

TODO 1220. Count Vowels Permutation   hard

Given an integer n, your task is to count how many strings of length n can be formed under the following rules:

  • Each character is a lower case vowel ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u')
  • Each vowel 'a' may only be followed by an 'e'.
  • Each vowel 'e' may only be followed by an 'a' or an 'i'.
  • Each vowel 'i' may not be followed by another 'i'.
  • Each vowel 'o' may only be followed by an 'i' or a 'u'.
  • Each vowel 'u' may only be followed by an 'a'.

Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo 10^9 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: n = 1
Output: 5
Explanation: All possible strings are: "a", "e", "i" , "o" and "u".

Example 2:

Input: n = 2
Output: 10
Explanation: All possible strings are: "ae", "ea", "ei", "ia", "ie", "io", "iu", "oi", "ou" and "ua".

*Example 3: *

Input: n = 5
Output: 68

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 2 * 10^4
