In recent months, I join the crypto investigation. Below is my crypto exchange list.

1. Max exchange

If you use TWD, you can buy USDT and send them to other exchange to buy other coins such as BTC, ETH… This is for rookie.

Staking Max coin apy is 2% to 5%.

2. Binance

Environment: Python 3.8

Key technique: for, if

There is a function signFunc(x) that returns:

• 1 if x is positive.
• -1 if x is negative.
• 0 if x is equal to 0.

You are given an integer array nums. Let product be the product of all values in the array nums.

Return signFunc(product).

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-1,-2,-3,-4,3,2,1]
Output: 1
Explanation: The product of all values in the array is 144, and signFunc(144) = 1

Analysis:

1. init ans=1
2. ans=ans x nums[i] by using loop
3. if ans >0, return 1
4. if ans <0, return -1
5. if ans==0, return 0

Solution:

class Solution:
    def arraySign(self, nums):
        ans=1
        for i in range(len(nums)):
            ans=ans*nums[i]
        if ans >0:
            return 1
        if ans <0:
            return -1
        if ans ==0:
            return 0

Key technique: if

Given a string s consisting of only the characters 'a' and 'b', return true if every 'a' appears before every 'b' in the string. Otherwise, return false.

Example 1:

Input: s = "aaabbb"
Output: true
Explanation:
The 'a's are at indices 0, 1, and 2, while the…

Key technique: str(), int()

Reversing an integer means to reverse all its digits.

• For example, reversing 2021 gives 1202. Reversing 12300 gives 321 as the leading zeros are not retained.

Given an integer num, reverse num to get reversed1, then reverse reversed1 to get reversed2. Return true if reversed2 equals num. Otherwise return false.

Example 1:

Input: num = 526
Output: true
Explanation: Reverse num to get 625, then reverse 625 to get 526, which equals num.

Analysis:

1. Convert input to string format and reverse it
2. Convert it to int format.
3. Convert it to a string format and reverse it.
4. If input equal converted result, return pass.
5. Else, return Fail.

Solution:

class Solution:
    def isSameAfterReversals(self, num):
        temp=str(num)
        temp=int(temp[::-1])
        temp=str(temp)
        temp=temp[::-1]
        if int(temp) ==num:
            return True
        else:
            return False

Key technique: for, [::-1]

Given an array of strings words, return the first palindromic string in the array. If there is no such string, return an empty string "".

A string is palindromic if it reads the same forward and backward.

Example 1:

Input: words = ["abc","car","ada","racecar","cool"]
Output: "ada"
Explanation: The first string that is palindromic is "ada".
Note that "racecar" is also palindromic, but it is not the first.

Analysis:

1. Reverse input string
2. If string == reversed string, return it.
3. If no string and reversed string is equal, return ‘’

Solution:

class Solution:
    def firstPalindrome(self, words):
        for i in words:
            if i==i[::-1]:
                return i
        return ''
