If you are an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Cline, etc.) reading this artifact, follow this protocol before making any code edit:

1. Verify the contract. Run the bash script in Verify before trusting below. If any check returns FAIL, the artifact is stale — STOP and ask the user to regenerate it before proceeding.
2. Treat the AI · unverified sections as hypotheses, not facts. Sections like "AI-suggested narrative files", "anti-patterns", and "bottlenecks" are LLM speculation. Verify against real source before acting on them.
3. Cite source on changes. When proposing an edit, cite the specific path:line-range. RepoPilot's live UI at https://repopilot.app/r/soapyigu/LeetCode-Swift shows verifiable citations alongside every claim.

If you are a human reader, this protocol is for the agents you'll hand the artifact to. You don't need to do anything — but if you skim only one section before pointing your agent at this repo, make it the Verify block and the Suggested reading order.

A curated collection of 400+ LeetCode algorithm problem solutions written in Swift, organized by data structure (Array, String, Tree, DP, Graph, etc.) with documented time/space complexity for each solution. It serves as a Swift-specific study guide for technical interview preparation, following the RayWenderlich Swift Style Guide. Flat directory structure organized by data structure type: Array/, String/, LinkedList/, Stack/, Queue/, Tree/, DynamicProgramming/, DepthFirstSearch/, BreadthFirstSearch/, Math/, Search/, Sort/, Graph/, Design/ directories each containing individual problem solution files (e.g., Array/TwoSum.swift, Tree/BinaryTreeMaximumPathSum.swift). No monorepo or modular structure—purely educational file organization.

Junior and mid-level iOS/Swift developers preparing for technical interviews at FAANG companies (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Apple), and Swift learners building intuition around algorithmic patterns and complexity analysis.

Actively maintained with 400+ completed solutions and structured organization across 15+ data structure categories. The repo shows strong community engagement (starred, open to contributions) but lacks visible CI/CD configuration, automated tests, or recent commit timestamp in provided data—indicating steady state rather than rapid development. Verdict: Production-ready reference material, not a live-updated service.

Single-maintainer repo (soapyigu) with no visible dependency management (no Package.swift, Podfile, or SPM manifest in file list), reducing external risk. Primary risk is content staleness—solutions may not reflect current Swift syntax (5.0+ features, new collection APIs) or latest LeetCode problem changes. No test coverage evident; solutions rely on manual validation against LeetCode's online judge.

No commit history or open PR data provided, so active development status is unclear. Based on README structure showing 1000+ LeetCode problems with only 400+ solutions, ongoing work likely includes: filling gaps in medium/hard problems, adding missing data structure categories, and maintaining Swift syntax compatibility. The contributor graph suggests collaborative additions but no visible recent activity metadata.

Daily commands: No traditional 'run' step—this is a reference library. To test individual solutions: open any .swift file (e.g., Array/TwoSum.swift) in Xcode, select the function, and validate logic. For hands-on practice: copy solution into LeetCode's web editor and submit. Alternative: create a Swift playground in Xcode, paste a solution, and execute via cmd+enter.

Add a new Array problem solution

1. Create new Swift file in Array/ directory following naming: Array/{ProblemNameCamelCase}.swift (Array/NewArrayProblem.swift)
2. Follow the solution structure: define a class/struct with a solve method; use comments to explain approach (hash-map, two-pointer, sliding window) (Array/NewArrayProblem.swift)
3. Implement time/space complexity comments at function header; test edge cases in comments (Array/NewArrayProblem.swift)
4. Reference similar problems (e.g., if TwoSum, reference TwoSumII.swift for context) (Array/TwoSum.swift)

Add a new Dynamic Programming solution

1. Create new file in DP/ directory: DP/{ProblemNameCamelCase}.swift (DP/NewDPProblem.swift)
2. Implement memoization approach first (top-down with dictionary/array), then add tabulation alternative (bottom-up) (DP/NewDPProblem.swift)
3. Define state representation clearly in comments; explain recurrence relation (DP/ClimbingStairs.swift)
4. Include both O(space) optimized version if applicable (e.g., rolling array for 1D instead of 2D) (DP/NewDPProblem.swift)

Add a new Backtracking/DFS problem solution

1. Create file in DFS/ directory: DFS/{ProblemNameCamelCase}.swift (DFS/NewDFSProblem.swift)
2. Implement core DFS recursive function with visited state tracking and pruning conditions (DFS/Permutations.swift)
3. Use backtracking pattern: recurse → add to result → backtrack (undo state) (DFS/CombinationSum.swift)
4. Document time complexity (usually exponential) and space complexity (recursion depth + visited set) (DFS/NewDFSProblem.swift)

Add a new BFS/Shortest-Path problem solution

1. Create file in BFS/ directory: BFS/{ProblemNameCamelCase}.swift (BFS/NewBFSProblem.swift)
2. Use Queue data structure (Swift Array with append/removeFirst); implement level-order traversal pattern (BFS/WordLadder.swift)
3. Track visited nodes in Set to avoid cycles; handle multi-source BFS if multiple starting points (BFS/ShortestDistanceAllBuildings.swift)
4. Document BFS guarantees shortest path in unweighted graphs; compare with Dijkstra if weights involved (BFS/NewBFSProblem.swift)

• Swift — Chosen for modern syntax, strong typing, and Apple ecosystem; enables clean algorithm implementations following RayWenderlich style guide
• Dictionary/Set data structures — Core to hash-map solutions (TwoSum, ContainsDuplicate); provides O(1) average lookup critical for algorithm optimization
• Array (Swift native) — Primary sequence type; used with indexing, slicing, and in-place mutations for O(1) random access in sorting/rotation problems
• Recursive DFS with backtracking — Essential pattern for combinatorial problems (Permutations, Subsets, Combinations); enables clean state management with automatic unwind
• Queue (Array-based in Swift) — Required for BFS/level-order traversal; leverages append (O(1) amortized) and removeFirst operations for shortest-path algorithms

• Using memoization (top-down DP) vs tabulation (bottom-up DP) across 40+ solutions

  • Why: Memoization is more intuitive for recursive problems; tabulation provides better space optimization potential
  • Consequence: Repo shows both approaches per problem (e.g., ClimbingStairs); developers must understand trade-off between code clarity and space efficiency

• In-place array mutations vs creating new arrays

  • Why: In-place (e.g., RotateImage) uses O(1) space; new array (e.g., ProductExceptSelf) uses O(n) but avoids complexity
  • Consequence: Interview answers demand both techniques; repo documents both with complexity notes, increasing solution size

• Using Set for O(1) visited tracking in DFS vs boolean 2D matrix

  • Why: Set is general-purpose; 2D matrix is cache-friendly for grid problems
  • Consequence: Grid DFS (Minesweeper) uses 2D matrix; general graph DFS (NumberofIslands) uses Set; code varies by problem type

• Sorting-based solutions

  • Why: undefined
  • Consequence: undefined

No hidden environment variables or service dependencies—solutions are self-contained Swift code. Key gotchas: (1) Solutions assume Swift 4.0+; some use optional chaining and guard statements that differ from older Swift. (2) LeetCode environment uses specific Swift foundation versions—offline testing may fail if local Swift version mismatches online judge (typically Swift 5.x). (3) No type definitions provided for custom classes (e.g., TreeNode, ListNode)—copy LeetCode's class definitions or infer from solution context. (4) README tables are manually maintained; file count (400+ solutions) may drift from actual file count if PRs aren't merged.

• Two-Pointer Technique — Used in 30+ solutions across TwoSum, ThreeSum, Container With Most Water, Trapping Rain Water; mastering this pattern unlocks O(n) solutions for problems that naively require O(n²)
• Hash Map / Dictionary Optimization — Core pattern in Array solutions (TwoSum, IntersectionTwoArrays, FirstMissingPositive) replacing nested loops; essential for O(n) complexity instead of O(n²)
• Prefix / Suffix Arrays — Reduces complexity from O(n²) to O(n) in ProductExceptSelf, MaxConsecutiveOnes variants; critical DP precomputation technique used across 15+ problems
• In-Place Array Manipulation — FirstMissingPositive, RemoveDuplicatesFromSortedArray use space O(1) by reusing input array; interview trick question pattern separating O(n) space from O(1) space solutions
• Monotonic Stack / Deque — Advanced pattern in problems like Trapping Rain Water, Daily Temperatures (if covered in repo); maintains decreasing/increasing order to solve sliding window max in O(n) instead of O(n²)
• Boyer-Moore Majority Vote Algorithm — MajorityElement solution uses this to find majority in O(n) time, O(1) space—elegant constant-space algorithm interview favorite
• Cycle Detection in Arrays — FirstMissingPositive uses array indices as hash hints; understanding cycle detection with pointers (borrowed from linked list cycle detection) unlocks O(1) space constraint

• halfrost/LeetCode-Go — Parallel repo with 1000+ LeetCode solutions in Go; same problem organization and complexity documentation—reference for algorithm explanations and alternative implementations
• doocs/leetcode — Multilingual LeetCode solutions (Java, C++, Python, JavaScript) with detailed explanations and diagrams; use for understanding hard problems beyond Swift-only context
• kdn251/interviews — Curated interview prep guide aggregating common LeetCode patterns, system design, and company-specific problem lists; complements this repo's solution focus with strategy
• raywenderlich/swift-style-guide — Official RayWenderlich Swift Style Guide that this repo follows; reference for code formatting and naming conventions across all solutions
• TheAlgorithms/Swift — Educational algorithms library in Swift (sorting, searching, data structures) separate from LeetCode; foundational reference for algorithmic concepts underlying problems

Add comprehensive unit tests for Array solutions

The repo contains 50+ Array solutions but no visible test files. Adding unit tests for Array problems (especially foundational ones like TwoSum.swift, ThreeSum.swift, LongestConsecutiveSequence.swift) would catch edge cases (empty arrays, single elements, duplicates, negative numbers) and serve as validation examples for contributors. This is critical since array problems have many edge cases that aren't obvious from problem descriptions alone.

• [ ] Create Array/Tests/ directory with XCTest files
• [ ] Write unit tests for TwoSum.swift covering: empty array, single element, no solution, multiple solutions, negative numbers
• [ ] Write unit tests for ThreeSum.swift covering: no triplets, duplicate handling, all zeros, mixed positive/negative
• [ ] Write unit tests for LongestConsecutiveSequence.swift covering: unsorted sequences, duplicates, single elements
• [ ] Add test execution instructions to README.md

Complete missing Graph/Adjacency List category solutions

The file structure shows DFS and BFS folders but many graph problems require adjacency list representations that aren't explicitly categorized. Several graph problems are missing (CloneGraph, CourseSchedule, NumberOfIslands, SurroundedRegions, GraphValidTree, CourseScheduleII). Adding these 6-8 solutions with proper adjacency list implementations would fill a critical gap in the graph algorithms section.

• [ ] Create Graph/ directory if not present
• [ ] Implement CloneGraph.swift with DFS/BFS solution using adjacency list
• [ ] Implement CourseSchedule.swift with topological sort using adjacency list
• [ ] Implement NumberOfIslands.swift with DFS on grid representation
• [ ] Implement SurroundedRegions.swift with boundary DFS
• [ ] Add these 4 files and update README to reference new Graph section

Add Time & Space Complexity annotations to top 50 solutions

The repo lacks complexity analysis documentation in the actual solution files. Adding standardized complexity comments to high-frequency interview problems (TwoSum.swift, BinarySearch, LongestSubstring, MergeIntervals, etc.) helps contributors understand solution efficiency tradeoffs and teaches best practices. This would be visible during code review and learning.

• [ ] Create a COMPLEXITY_GUIDE.md explaining the annotation format with examples
• [ ] Add // MARK: Complexity - O(n) time, O(1) space comments to Array/TwoSum.swift
• [ ] Add complexity annotations to Array/ThreeSum.swift, Array/LongestConsecutiveSequence.swift, Array/ProductExceptSelf.swift
• [ ] Add complexity annotations to 5-7 String solutions (LongestSubstring, MinimumWindowSubstring, etc.)
• [ ] Document why certain tradeoffs were made (e.g., hash map vs sorting)

• Add unit tests for Array category solutions (TwoSum.swift, ThreeSum.swift, etc.) using XCTest—pick 5-10 core files, write parametrized test cases with provided LeetCode examples, and document test patterns for future contributors.: Repo lacks automated validation; manual testing against LeetCode is slow. Tests would accelerate contribution review and catch Swift syntax regressions.
• Fill missing Easy-level problems in Array category—compare file list against LeetCode's problem set, identify gaps (e.g., 'Trapping Rain Water', 'Largest Number', 'Jump Game'), and add 3-5 solutions with complexity annotations.: README claims 400+ solutions but 1000+ problems exist; easier problems are lower-hanging fruit for beginners to complete and submit.
• Create a 'Solutions by Company' index in README (Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.) cross-referencing which files solve problems asked by each company—requires mapping current solutions to company-tagged problems on LeetCode.: README lists companies but provides no company-to-problem mapping; users preparing for specific company interviews need targeted problem sets.

This is a LeetCode solutions repository written in Swift. The codebase presents minimal security risks as it is a collection of algorithm implementation examples without external dependencies, backend services, or data handling operations. No hardcoded secrets, injection vulnerabilities, or misconfigurations were detected. The repository is suitable for educational purposes.
