2244. Minimum Rounds to Complete All Tasks

Description

You are given a 0-indexed integer array tasks, where tasks[i] represents the difficulty level of a task. In each round, you can complete either 2 or 3 tasks of the same difficulty level.

Return the minimum rounds required to complete all the tasks, or -1 if it is not possible to complete all the tasks.

Example 1:

Input: tasks = [2,2,3,3,2,4,4,4,4,4]
Output: 4
Explanation: To complete all the tasks, a possible plan is:
- In the first round, you complete 3 tasks of difficulty level 2. 
- In the second round, you complete 2 tasks of difficulty level 3. 
- In the third round, you complete 3 tasks of difficulty level 4. 
- In the fourth round, you complete 2 tasks of difficulty level 4.  
It can be shown that all the tasks cannot be completed in fewer than 4 rounds, so the answer is 4.

Example 2:

Input: tasks = [2,3,3]
Output: -1
Explanation: There is only 1 task of difficulty level 2, but in each round, you can only complete either 2 or 3 tasks of the same difficulty level. Hence, you cannot complete all the tasks, and the answer is -1.

Constraints:

1 <= tasks.length <= 10⁵
1 <= tasks[i] <= 10⁹

Solutions

Solution 1: Hash Table

We use a hash table to count the number of tasks for each difficulty level. Then we traverse the hash table. For each difficulty level, if the number of tasks is $1$, then it is impossible to complete all tasks, so we return $-1$. Otherwise, we calculate the number of rounds needed to complete tasks of this difficulty level and add it to the answer.

Finally, we return the answer.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the length of the tasks array.
