MaxCounters
You are given N counters, initially set to 0, and you have two possible operations on them:
-
increase(X) − counter X is increased by 1,
-
max counter − all counters are set to the maximum value of any counter. A non-empty array A of M integers is given. This array represents consecutive operations:
-
if A[K] = X, such that 1 ≤ X ≤ N, then operation K is increase(X),
-
if A[K] = N + 1 then operation K is max counter. For example, given integer N = 5 and array A such that:
A[0] = 3
A[1] = 4
A[2] = 4
A[3] = 6
A[4] = 1
A[5] = 4
A[6] = 4
the values of the counters after each consecutive operation will be:
(0, 0, 1, 0, 0)
(0, 0, 1, 1, 0)
(0, 0, 1, 2, 0)
(2, 2, 2, 2, 2)
(3, 2, 2, 2, 2)
(3, 2, 2, 3, 2)
(3, 2, 2, 4, 2)
The goal is to calculate the value of every counter after all operations.
Write a function:
class Solution { public int[] solution(int N, int[] A); }
that, given an integer N and a non-empty array A consisting of M integers, returns a sequence of integers representing the values of the counters.
Result array should be returned as an array of integers.
For example, given:
A[0] = 3
A[1] = 4
A[2] = 4
A[3] = 6
A[4] = 1
A[5] = 4
A[6] = 4
the function should return [3, 2, 2, 4, 2]
, as explained above.
Write an efficient algorithm for the following assumptions:
- N and M are integers within the range
[1..100,000]
; - each element of array A is an integer within the range
[1..N + 1]
