Today is Sunday, I gonna review the tasks I've done this week, and finish today's leetcode's August LeetCoding Challenge with cpp.

August LeetCoding Challenge 29

Description

Patching Array

Given a sorted integer array nums and an integer n, add/patch elements to the array such that any number in the range [1, n] inclusive can be formed by the sum of some elements in the array.

Return the minimum number of patches required.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,3], n = 6
Output: 1
Explanation:
Combinations of nums are [1], [3], [1,3], which form possible sums of: 1, 3, 4.
Now if we add/patch 2 to nums, the combinations are: [1], [2], [3], [1,3], [2,3], [1,2,3].
Possible sums are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, which now covers the range [1, 6].
So we only need 1 patch.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,5,10], n = 20
Output: 2
Explanation: The two patches can be [2, 4].

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,2,2], n = 5
Output: 0

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 104
  • nums is sorted in ascending order.
  • 1 <= n <= 231 - 1

Solution

auto speedup = [](){
  cin.tie(nullptr);
  cout.tie(nullptr);
  ios::sync_with_stdio(false);
  return 0;
}();
class Solution {
public:
  int minPatches(vector<int>& nums, int n) {
    int len = nums.size();
    long long all = 1;
    int count = 0;
    int pos = 0;
    if(nums.front() != 1) {
      count += 1;
    } else {
      pos += 1;
    }
    while(pos < len && all < n) {
      while(all < n && all < nums[pos] - 1) {
        all = all + all + 1;
        count += 1;
      }
      all += nums[pos];
      pos += 1;
    }
    while(all < n) {
      all = all + all + 1;
      count += 1;
    }
    return count;
  }
};
