This blog covers the 144th LeetCode Weekly Contest, which featured four problems ranging from string manipulation to tree operations. The problems included: ‘Defanging an IP Address,’ ‘Corporate Flight Bookings,’ ‘Delete Nodes and Return Forest,’ and ‘Maximum Nesting Depth of Two Valid Parentheses Strings.’ In this write-up, I provide clear problem statements, intuitive approaches, and efficient C++ solutions with explanations. Whether you’re preparing for future contests or revising concepts like prefix sums, tree traversal, or parentheses depth balancing, this blog serves as a simple and detailed guide.
