1385. Find the Distance Value Between Two Arrays

Description

Given two integer arrays arr1 and arr2, and the integer d, return the distance value between the two arrays.

The distance value is defined as the number of elements arr1[i] such that there is not any element arr2[j] where |arr1[i]-arr2[j]| <= d.

 

Example 1:

Input: arr1 = [4,5,8], arr2 = [10,9,1,8], d = 2
Output: 2
Explanation: 
For arr1[0]=4 we have: 
|4-10|=6 > d=2 
|4-9|=5 > d=2 
|4-1|=3 > d=2 
|4-8|=4 > d=2 
For arr1[1]=5 we have: 
|5-10|=5 > d=2 
|5-9|=4 > d=2 
|5-1|=4 > d=2 
|5-8|=3 > d=2
For arr1[2]=8 we have:
|8-10|=2 <= d=2
|8-9|=1 <= d=2
|8-1|=7 > d=2
|8-8|=0 <= d=2

Example 2:

Input: arr1 = [1,4,2,3], arr2 = [-4,-3,6,10,20,30], d = 3
Output: 2

Example 3:

Input: arr1 = [2,1,100,3], arr2 = [-5,-2,10,-3,7], d = 6
Output: 1

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= arr1.length, arr2.length <= 500
  • -1000 <= arr1[i], arr2[j] <= 1000
  • 0 <= d <= 100

Solutions

We can first sort the array $arr2$, then for each element $a$ in array $arr1$, use binary search to find the first element in array $arr2$ that is greater than or equal to $a-d$. If such an element exists and is less than or equal to $a+d$, it means that it does not meet the distance requirement. Otherwise, it meets the distance requirement. We accumulate the number of elements that meet the distance requirement, which is the answer.

The time complexity is $O((m + n) \times \log n)$, and the space complexity is $O(\log n)$. Where $m$ and $n$ are the lengths of arrays $arr1$ and $arr2$, respectively.
