花花酱 LeetCode 2653. Sliding Subarray Beauty

Given an integer array nums containing n integers, find the beauty of each subarray of size k.

The beauty of a subarray is the xth smallest integer in the subarray if it is negative, or 0 if there are fewer than x negative integers.

Return an integer array containing n - k + 1 integers, which denote the beauty of the subarrays in order from the first index in the array.

  • A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,-1,-3,-2,3], k = 3, x = 2
Output: [-1,-2,-2]
Explanation: There are 3 subarrays with size k = 3. 
The first subarray is [1, -1, -3] and the 2nd smallest negative integer is -1. 
The second subarray is [-1, -3, -2] and the 2nd smallest negative integer is -2. 
The third subarray is [-3, -2, 3] and the 2nd smallest negative integer is -2.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-1,-2,-3,-4,-5], k = 2, x = 2
Output: [-1,-2,-3,-4]
Explanation: There are 4 subarrays with size k = 2.
For [-1, -2], the 2nd smallest negative integer is -1.
For [-2, -3], the 2nd smallest negative integer is -2.
For [-3, -4], the 2nd smallest negative integer is -3.
For [-4, -5], the 2nd smallest negative integer is -4. 

Example 3:

Input: nums = [-3,1,2,-3,0,-3], k = 2, x = 1
Output: [-3,0,-3,-3,-3]
Explanation: There are 5 subarrays with size k = 2.
For [-3, 1], the 1st smallest negative integer is -3.
For [1, 2], there is no negative integer so the beauty is 0.
For [2, -3], the 1st smallest negative integer is -3.
For [-3, 0], the 1st smallest negative integer is -3.
For [0, -3], the 1st smallest negative integer is -3.

Constraints:

  • n == nums.length 
  • 1 <= n <= 105
  • 1 <= k <= n
  • 1 <= x <= k 
  • -50 <= nums[i] <= 50 

Solution: Sliding Window + Counter

Since the range of nums are very small (-50 ~ 50), we can use a counter to track the frequency of each element, s.t. we can find the k-the smallest element in O(50) instead of O(k).

Time complexity: O((n – k + 1) * 50)
Space complexity: O(50)
