Today I have done leetcode's August LeetCoding Challenge with cpp.

August LeetCoding Challenge 20

Description

Sort Items by Groups Respecting Dependencies

There are n items each belonging to zero or one of m groups where group[i] is the group that the i-th item belongs to and it's equal to -1 if the i-th item belongs to no group. The items and the groups are zero indexed. A group can have no item belonging to it.

Return a sorted list of the items such that:

  • The items that belong to the same group are next to each other in the sorted list.
  • There are some relations between these items where beforeItems[i] is a list containing all the items that should come before the i-th item in the sorted array (to the left of the i-th item).

Return any solution if there is more than one solution and return an empty list if there is no solution.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 8, m = 2, group = [-1,-1,1,0,0,1,0,-1], beforeItems = [[],[6],[5],[6],[3,6],[],[],[]]
Output: [6,3,4,1,5,2,0,7]

Example 2:

Input: n = 8, m = 2, group = [-1,-1,1,0,0,1,0,-1], beforeItems = [[],[6],[5],[6],[3],[],[4],[]]
Output: []
Explanation: This is the same as example 1 except that 4 needs to be before 6 in the sorted list.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= m <= n <= 3 * 104
  • group.length == beforeItems.length == n
  • -1 <= group[i] <= m - 1
  • 0 <= beforeItems[i].length <= n - 1
  • 0 <= beforeItems[i][j] <= n - 1
  • i != beforeItems[i][j]
  • beforeItems[i] does not contain duplicates elements.

Solution

class Solution {
  int groupDegree[30000] = {};
  int degree[30000] = {};
  vector<int> children[30000];
  vector<int> groupChildren[30000];
  vector<int> items[30000];
public:
  vector<int> sortItems(int n, int m, vector<int>& group, vector<vector<int>>& beforeItems) {
    // init
    for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
      if(group[i] == -1) group[i] = m++;
      items[group[i]].push_back(i);
    }
    for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
      for(auto p : beforeItems[i]) {
        children[p].push_back(i);
        degree[i] += 1;
        if(group[p] != group[i]) {
          groupDegree[group[i]] += 1;
          groupChildren[group[p]].push_back(group[i]);
        }
      }
    }

    // topological sort for group
    vector<int> groupOrder;
    queue<int> q;
    for(int i = 0; i < m; ++i) {
      if(!groupDegree[i]) q.push(i);
    }
    while(q.size()) {
      int cur = q.front();
      q.pop();
      groupOrder.push_back(cur);
      for(auto c : groupChildren[cur]) {
        groupDegree[c] -= 1;
        if(!groupDegree[c]) q.push(c);
      }
    }
    // cout << groupOrder << endl;
    if(groupOrder.size() != m) return {};

    // sort items
    vector<int> answer;
    for(auto g : groupOrder) {
      int sz = answer.size();
      for(auto item : items[g]) {
        if(!degree[item]) q.push(item);
      }
      while(q.size()) {
        int cur = q.front();
        q.pop();
        answer.push_back(cur);
        for(auto c : children[cur]) {
          degree[c] -= 1;
          if(group[c] == group[cur] && !degree[c]) {
            q.push(c);
          }
        }
      }
      if(answer.size() - sz != items[g].size()) return {};
    }

    return answer;
  }
