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

December LeetCoding Challenge 29

Description

Minimum Difficulty of a Job Schedule

You want to schedule a list of jobs in d days. Jobs are dependent (i.e To work on the i^th job, you have to finish all the jobs j where 0 <= j < i).

You have to finish at least one task every day. The difficulty of a job schedule is the sum of difficulties of each day of the d days. The difficulty of a day is the maximum difficulty of a job done on that day.

You are given an integer array jobDifficulty and an integer d. The difficulty of the i^th job is jobDifficulty[i].

Return the minimum difficulty of a job schedule. If you cannot find a schedule for the jobs return -1.

Example 1:

Input: jobDifficulty = [6,5,4,3,2,1], d = 2
Output: 7
Explanation: First day you can finish the first 5 jobs, total difficulty = 6.
Second day you can finish the last job, total difficulty = 1.
The difficulty of the schedule = 6 + 1 = 7

Example 2:

Input: jobDifficulty = [9,9,9], d = 4
Output: -1
Explanation: If you finish a job per day you will still have a free day. you cannot find a schedule for the given jobs.

Example 3:

Input: jobDifficulty = [1,1,1], d = 3
Output: 3
Explanation: The schedule is one job per day. total difficulty will be 3.

Constraints:

1 <= jobDifficulty.length <= 300
0 <= jobDifficulty[i] <= 1000
1 <= d <= 10

Solution

class Solution {
public:
  int minDifficulty(vector<int>& jobDifficulty, int d) {
    int len = jobDifficulty.size();
    if(len < d) return -1;
    if(len == d) return accumulate(jobDifficulty.begin(), jobDifficulty.end(), 0);
    int dp[d][len];
    dp[0][0] = jobDifficulty[0];
    for(int i = 1; i < len; ++i) dp[0][i] = max(dp[0][i - 1], jobDifficulty[i]);
    for(int i = 1; i < d; ++i) {
      vector<int> monoStack;
      for(int j = i; j < len; ++j) {
        dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1] + jobDifficulty[j];
        while(monoStack.size() && jobDifficulty[monoStack.back()] < jobDifficulty[j]) {
          dp[i][j] = min(dp[i][j], dp[i][monoStack.back()] - jobDifficulty[monoStack.back()] + jobDifficulty[j]);
          monoStack.pop_back();
        }
        if(monoStack.size()) {
          dp[i][j] = min(dp[i][j], dp[i][monoStack.back()]);
        }
        monoStack.push_back(j);
      }
    }
    return dp[d - 1][len - 1];
  }
};
