Problem
You are given an array of distinct integers arr
and an array of integer arrays pieces
, where the integers in pieces
are distinct. Your goal is to form arr
by concatenating the arrays in pieces
in any order. However, you are not allowed to reorder the integers in each array pieces[i]
.
Return true
**if it is possible ****to form the array *arr
* from **pieces
. Otherwise, return false
.
Example 1:
Input: arr = [15,88], pieces = [[88],[15]]
Output: true
Explanation: Concatenate [15] then [88]
Example 2:
Input: arr = [49,18,16], pieces = [[16,18,49]]
Output: false
Explanation: Even though the numbers match, we cannot reorder pieces[0].
Example 3:
Input: arr = [91,4,64,78], pieces = [[78],[4,64],[91]]
Output: true
Explanation: Concatenate [91] then [4,64] then [78]
Constraints:
1 <= pieces.length <= arr.length <= 100
sum(pieces[i].length) == arr.length
1 <= pieces[i].length <= arr.length
1 <= arr[i], pieces[i][j] <= 100
The integers in
arr
are distinct.The integers in
pieces
are distinct (i.e., If we flatten pieces in a 1D array, all the integers in this array are distinct).
Solution (Java)
class Solution {
public boolean canFormArray(int[] arr, int[][] pieces) {
for (int[] piece : pieces) {
int first = piece[0];
int index = findIndex(arr, first);
if (index == -1) {
return false;
}
int i = 0;
for (int j = index; i < piece.length && j < arr.length; i++, j++) {
if (arr[j] != piece[i]) {
return false;
}
}
if (i != piece.length) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
private int findIndex(int[] arr, int key) {
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (arr[i] == key) {
return i;
}
}
return -1;
}
}
Explain:
nope.
Complexity:
- Time complexity : O(n).
- Space complexity : O(n).
