2534. Time Taken to Cross the Door πŸ”’

Description

There are n persons numbered from 0 to n - 1 and a door. Each person can enter or exit through the door once, taking one second.

You are given a non-decreasing integer array arrival of size n, where arrival[i] is the arrival time of the ith person at the door. You are also given an array state of size n, where state[i] is 0 if person i wants to enter through the door or 1 if they want to exit through the door.

If two or more persons want to use the door at the same time, they follow the following rules:

  • If the door was not used in the previous second, then the person who wants to exit goes first.
  • If the door was used in the previous second for entering, the person who wants to enter goes first.
  • If the door was used in the previous second for exiting, the person who wants to exit goes first.
  • If multiple persons want to go in the same direction, the person with the smallest index goes first.

Return an array answer of size n where answer[i] is the second at which the ith person crosses the door.

Note that:

  • Only one person can cross the door at each second.
  • A person may arrive at the door and wait without entering or exiting to follow the mentioned rules.

 

Example 1:

Input: arrival = [0,1,1,2,4], state = [0,1,0,0,1]
Output: [0,3,1,2,4]
Explanation: At each second we have the following:
- At t = 0: Person 0 is the only one who wants to enter, so they just enter through the door.
- At t = 1: Person 1 wants to exit, and person 2 wants to enter. Since the door was used the previous second for entering, person 2 enters.
- At t = 2: Person 1 still wants to exit, and person 3 wants to enter. Since the door was used the previous second for entering, person 3 enters.
- At t = 3: Person 1 is the only one who wants to exit, so they just exit through the door.
- At t = 4: Person 4 is the only one who wants to exit, so they just exit through the door.

Example 2:

Input: arrival = [0,0,0], state = [1,0,1]
Output: [0,2,1]
Explanation: At each second we have the following:
- At t = 0: Person 1 wants to enter while persons 0 and 2 want to exit. Since the door was not used in the previous second, the persons who want to exit get to go first. Since person 0 has a smaller index, they exit first.
- At t = 1: Person 1 wants to enter, and person 2 wants to exit. Since the door was used in the previous second for exiting, person 2 exits.
- At t = 2: Person 1 is the only one who wants to enter, so they just enter through the door.

 

Constraints:

  • n == arrival.length == state.length
  • 1 <= n <= 105
  • 0 <= arrival[i] <= n
  • arrival is sorted in non-decreasing order.
  • state[i] is either 0 or 1.

Solutions

Solution 1: Queue + Simulation

We define two queues, where $q[0]$ stores the indices of people who want to enter, and $q[1]$ stores the indices of people who want to exit.

We maintain a variable $t$ to represent the current time, and a variable $st$ to represent the current state of the door. When $st = 1$, it means the door is not in use or someone exited in the previous second. When $st = 0$, it means someone entered in the previous second. Initially, $t = 0$ and $st = 1$.

We traverse the array $\textit{arrival}$. For each person, if the current time $t$ is less than or equal to the time the person arrives at the door $\textit{arrival}[i]$, we add the person's index to the corresponding queue $q[\text{state}[i]]$.

Then we check if both queues $q[0]$ and $q[1]$ are not empty. If both are not empty, we dequeue the front element from the queue $q[st]$ and assign the current time $t$ to the person's passing time. If only one queue is not empty, we update the value of $st$ based on which queue is not empty, then dequeue the front element from that queue and assign the current time $t$ to the person's passing time. If both queues are empty, we update the value of $st$ to $1$, indicating the door is not in use.

Next, we increment the time $t$ by $1$ and continue traversing the array $\textit{arrival}$ until all people have passed through the door.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$ represents the length of the array $\textit{arrival}$.
