Leetcode 2350 Shortest Impossible Sequence of Rolls Solution in Java | Hindi Coding Community

 

You are given an integer array rolls of length n and an integer k. You roll a k sided dice numbered from 1 to k, n times, where the result of the ith roll is rolls[i].

Return the length of the shortest sequence of rolls that cannot be taken from rolls.

A sequence of rolls of length len is the result of rolling a k sided dice len times.

Note that the sequence taken does not have to be consecutive as long as it is in order.

 

Example 1:

Input: rolls = [4,2,1,2,3,3,2,4,1], k = 4
Output: 3
Explanation: Every sequence of rolls of length 1, [1], [2], [3], [4], can be taken from rolls.
Every sequence of rolls of length 2, [1, 1], [1, 2], ..., [4, 4], can be taken from rolls.
The sequence [1, 4, 2] cannot be taken from rolls, so we return 3.
Note that there are other sequences that cannot be taken from rolls.

Example 2:

Input: rolls = [1,1,2,2], k = 2
Output: 2
Explanation: Every sequence of rolls of length 1, [1], [2], can be taken from rolls.
The sequence [2, 1] cannot be taken from rolls, so we return 2.
Note that there are other sequences that cannot be taken from rolls but [2, 1] is the shortest.

Example 3:

Input: rolls = [1,1,3,2,2,2,3,3], k = 4
Output: 1
Explanation: The sequence [4] cannot be taken from rolls, so we return 1.
Note that there are other sequences that cannot be taken from rolls but [4] is the shortest.

 

Constraints:

• n == rolls.length
• 1 <= n <= 105
• 1 <= rolls[i] <= k <= 105

Java Code :

public int shortestSequence(int[] rolls, int k) {

int seq = 0, cnt = 0, dice[] = new int[k + 1];

for (var r : rolls)

if (dice[r] == seq) {

dice[r] = seq + 1;

if (++cnt % k == 0)

++seq;

}

return seq + 1;

}
