2364. Count Number of Bad Pairs

Description

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums. A pair of indices (i, j) is a bad pair if i < j and j - i != nums[j] - nums[i].

Return the total number of bad pairs in nums.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [4,1,3,3]
Output: 5
Explanation: The pair (0, 1) is a bad pair since 1 - 0 != 1 - 4.
The pair (0, 2) is a bad pair since 2 - 0 != 3 - 4, 2 != -1.
The pair (0, 3) is a bad pair since 3 - 0 != 3 - 4, 3 != -1.
The pair (1, 2) is a bad pair since 2 - 1 != 3 - 1, 1 != 2.
The pair (2, 3) is a bad pair since 3 - 2 != 3 - 3, 1 != 0.
There are a total of 5 bad pairs, so we return 5.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no bad pairs.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 109

Solutions

Solution 1: Equation Transformation + Hash Table

From the problem description, we know that for any $i < j$, if $j - i \neq nums[j] - nums[i]$, then $(i, j)$ is a bad pair.

We can transform the equation to $i - nums[i] \neq j - nums[j]$. This inspires us to use a hash table $cnt$ to count the occurrences of $i - nums[i]$.

We iterate through the array. For the current element $nums[i]$, we add $i - cnt[i - nums[i]]$ to the answer, then increment the count of $i - nums[i]$ by $1$.

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 array.
