1649. Create Sorted Array through Instructions
Description
Given an integer array instructions
, you are asked to create a sorted array from the elements in instructions
. You start with an empty container nums
. For each element from left to right in instructions
, insert it into nums
. The cost of each insertion is the minimum of the following:
- The number of elements currently in
nums
that are strictly less thaninstructions[i]
. - The number of elements currently in
nums
that are strictly greater thaninstructions[i]
.
For example, if inserting element 3
into nums = [1,2,3,5]
, the cost of insertion is min(2, 1)
(elements 1
and 2
are less than 3
, element 5
is greater than 3
) and nums
will become [1,2,3,3,5]
.
Return the total cost to insert all elements from instructions
into nums
. Since the answer may be large, return it modulo 109 + 7
Example 1:
Input: instructions = [1,5,6,2] Output: 1 Explanation: Begin with nums = []. Insert 1 with cost min(0, 0) = 0, now nums = [1]. Insert 5 with cost min(1, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,5]. Insert 6 with cost min(2, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,5,6]. Insert 2 with cost min(1, 2) = 1, now nums = [1,2,5,6]. The total cost is 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 1.
Example 2:
Input: instructions = [1,2,3,6,5,4] Output: 3 Explanation: Begin with nums = []. Insert 1 with cost min(0, 0) = 0, now nums = [1]. Insert 2 with cost min(1, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,2]. Insert 3 with cost min(2, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,2,3]. Insert 6 with cost min(3, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,2,3,6]. Insert 5 with cost min(3, 1) = 1, now nums = [1,2,3,5,6]. Insert 4 with cost min(3, 2) = 2, now nums = [1,2,3,4,5,6]. The total cost is 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 3.
Example 3:
Input: instructions = [1,3,3,3,2,4,2,1,2] Output: 4 Explanation: Begin with nums = []. Insert 1 with cost min(0, 0) = 0, now nums = [1]. Insert 3 with cost min(1, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,3]. Insert 3 with cost min(1, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,3,3]. Insert 3 with cost min(1, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,3,3,3]. Insert 2 with cost min(1, 3) = 1, now nums = [1,2,3,3,3]. Insert 4 with cost min(5, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,2,3,3,3,4]. βββββββInsert 2 with cost min(1, 4) = 1, now nums = [1,2,2,3,3,3,4]. βββββββInsert 1 with cost min(0, 6) = 0, now nums = [1,1,2,2,3,3,3,4]. βββββββInsert 2 with cost min(2, 4) = 2, now nums = [1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,4].
