2426. Number of Pairs Satisfying Inequality

Description

You are given two 0-indexed integer arrays nums1 and nums2, each of size n, and an integer diff. Find the number of pairs (i, j) such that:

  • 0 <= i < j <= n - 1 and
  • nums1[i] - nums1[j] <= nums2[i] - nums2[j] + diff.

Return the number of pairs that satisfy the conditions.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums1 = [3,2,5], nums2 = [2,2,1], diff = 1
Output: 3
Explanation:
There are 3 pairs that satisfy the conditions:
1. i = 0, j = 1: 3 - 2 <= 2 - 2 + 1. Since i < j and 1 <= 1, this pair satisfies the conditions.
2. i = 0, j = 2: 3 - 5 <= 2 - 1 + 1. Since i < j and -2 <= 2, this pair satisfies the conditions.
3. i = 1, j = 2: 2 - 5 <= 2 - 1 + 1. Since i < j and -3 <= 2, this pair satisfies the conditions.
Therefore, we return 3.

Example 2:

Input: nums1 = [3,-1], nums2 = [-2,2], diff = -1
Output: 0
Explanation:
Since there does not exist any pair that satisfies the conditions, we return 0.

 

Constraints:

  • n == nums1.length == nums2.length
  • 2 <= n <= 105
  • -104 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 104
  • -104 <= diff <= 104

Solutions

Solution 1: Binary Indexed Tree

We can transform the inequality in the problem to $nums1[i] - nums2[i] \leq nums1[j] - nums2[j] + diff$. Therefore, if we calculate the difference between the corresponding elements of the two arrays and get another array $nums$, the problem is transformed into finding the number of pairs in $nums$ that satisfy $nums[i] \leq nums[j] + diff$.

We can enumerate $j$ from small to large, find out how many numbers before it satisfy $nums[i] \leq nums[j] + diff$, and thus calculate the number of pairs. We can use a binary indexed tree to maintain the prefix sum, so we can find out how many numbers before it satisfy $nums[i] \leq nums[j] + diff$ in $O(\log n)$ time.

The time complexity is $O(n \times \log n)$.
