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, \(C = 101\).
