花花酱 LeetCode 1673. Find the Most Competitive Subsequence

Given an integer array nums and a positive integer k, return the most competitive subsequence of nums of size k.

An array’s subsequence is a resulting sequence obtained by erasing some (possibly zero) elements from the array.

We define that a subsequence a is more competitive than a subsequence b (of the same length) if in the first position where a and b differ, subsequence a has a number less than the corresponding number in b. For example, [1,3,4] is more competitive than [1,3,5] because the first position they differ is at the final number, and 4 is less than 5.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,5,2,6], k = 2
Output: [2,6]
Explanation: Among the set of every possible subsequence: {[3,5], [3,2], [3,6], [5,2], [5,6], [2,6]}, [2,6] is the most competitive.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,4,3,3,5,4,9,6], k = 4
Output: [2,3,3,4]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • 0 <= nums[i] <= 109
  • 1 <= k <= nums.length

Solution: Stack

Use a stack to track the best solution so far, pop if the current number is less than the top of the stack and there are sufficient numbers left. Then push the current number to the stack if not full.

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(k)
