Today I have done leetcode's December LeetCoding Challenge with cpp
.
December LeetCoding Challenge 4
Description
Minimum Average Difference
You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums
of length n
.
The average difference of the index i
is the absolute difference between the average of the first i + 1
elements of nums
and the average of the last n - i - 1
elements. Both averages should be rounded down to the nearest integer.
Return the index with the minimum average difference. If there are multiple such indices, return the smallest one.
Note:
- The absolute difference of two numbers is the absolute value of their difference.
- The average of
n
elements is the sum of then
elements divided (integer division) byn
. - The average of
0
elements is considered to be0
.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2,5,3,9,5,3] Output: 3 Explanation: - The average difference of index 0 is: |2 / 1 - (5 + 3 + 9 + 5 + 3) / 5| = |2 / 1 - 25 / 5| = |2 - 5| = 3. - The average difference of index 1 is: |(2 + 5) / 2 - (3 + 9 + 5 + 3) / 4| = |7 / 2 - 20 / 4| = |3 - 5| = 2. - The average difference of index 2 is: |(2 + 5 + 3) / 3 - (9 + 5 + 3) / 3| = |10 / 3 - 17 / 3| = |3 - 5| = 2. - The average difference of index 3 is: |(2 + 5 + 3 + 9) / 4 - (5 + 3) / 2| = |19 / 4 - 8 / 2| = |4 - 4| = 0. - The average difference of index 4 is: |(2 + 5 + 3 + 9 + 5) / 5 - 3 / 1| = |24 / 5 - 3 / 1| = |4 - 3| = 1. - The average difference of index 5 is: |(2 + 5 + 3 + 9 + 5 + 3) / 6 - 0| = |27 / 6 - 0| = |4 - 0| = 4. The average difference of index 3 is the minimum average difference so return 3.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [0] Output: 0 Explanation: The only index is 0 so return 0. The average difference of index 0 is: |0 / 1 - 0| = |0 - 0| = 0.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 105
0 <= nums[i] <= 105
Solution
class Solution {
public:
int minimumAverageDifference(vector<int>& nums) {
long long sum = accumulate(nums.begin(), nums.end(), 0LL);
long long front = 0;
long long back = sum;
int answer = 0;
int current = INT_MAX;
int len = nums.size();
for(int i = 0; i < len; ++i) {
front += nums[i];
back -= nums[i];
int frontAvarage = front / (i + 1);
int backAvarage = back ? back / (len - i - 1) : 0;
int diff = abs(frontAvarage - backAvarage);
if(diff < current) {
answer = i;
current = diff;
}
}
return answer;
}
