1512. Number of Good Pairs
Description
Given an array of integers nums
, return the number of good pairs.
A pair (i, j)
is called good if nums[i] == nums[j]
and i
< j
.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,1,1,3] Output: 4 Explanation: There are 4 good pairs (0,3), (0,4), (3,4), (2,5) 0-indexed.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,1,1,1] Output: 6 Explanation: Each pair in the array are good.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1,2,3] Output: 0
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 100
1 <= nums[i] <= 100
Solutions
Solution 1: Counting
Traverse the array, and for each element $x$, count how many elements before it are equal to $x$. This count represents the number of good pairs formed by $x$ and the previous elements. After traversing the entire array, we obtain the answer.
The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(C)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the array, and $C$ is the range of values in the array. In this problem, $C = 101$.
