0683. K Empty Slots

Description

You have n bulbs in a row numbered from 1 to n. Initially, all the bulbs are turned off. We turn on exactly one bulb every day until all bulbs are on after n days.

You are given an array bulbs of length n where bulbs[i] = x means that on the (i+1)th day, we will turn on the bulb at position x where i is 0-indexed and x is 1-indexed.

Given an integer k, return the minimum day number such that there exists two turned on bulbs that have exactly k bulbs between them that are all turned off. If there isn't such day, return -1.

 

Example 1:

Input: bulbs = [1,3,2], k = 1
Output: 2
Explanation:
On the first day: bulbs[0] = 1, first bulb is turned on: [1,0,0]
On the second day: bulbs[1] = 3, third bulb is turned on: [1,0,1]
On the third day: bulbs[2] = 2, second bulb is turned on: [1,1,1]
We return 2 because on the second day, there were two on bulbs with one off bulb between them.

Example 2:

Input: bulbs = [1,2,3], k = 1
Output: -1

 

Constraints:

  • n == bulbs.length
  • 1 <= n <= 2 * 104
  • 1 <= bulbs[i] <= n
  • bulbs is a permutation of numbers from 1 to n.
  • 0 <= k <= 2 * 104

Solutions

Solution 1: Binary Indexed Tree

We can use a Binary Indexed Tree to maintain the prefix sum of the bulbs. Every time we turn on a bulb, we update the corresponding position in the Binary Indexed Tree. Then we check if the k bulbs to the left or right of the current bulb are all turned off and the (k+1)-th bulb is already turned on. If either of these conditions is met, we return the current day.

The time complexity is O(n × log n) and the space complexity is O(n), where n is the number of bulbs.
