2541. Minimum Operations to Make Array Equal II

Description

You are given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2 of equal length n and an integer k. You can perform the following operation on nums1:

Choose two indexes i and j and increment nums1[i] by k and decrement nums1[j] by k. In other words, nums1[i] = nums1[i] + k and nums1[j] = nums1[j] - k.

nums1 is said to be equal to nums2 if for all indices i such that 0 <= i < n, nums1[i] == nums2[i].

Return the minimum number of operations required to make nums1 equal to nums2. If it is impossible to make them equal, return -1.

Example 1:

Input: nums1 = [4,3,1,4], nums2 = [1,3,7,1], k = 3
Output: 2
Explanation: In 2 operations, we can transform nums1 to nums2.
1^st operation: i = 2, j = 0. After applying the operation, nums1 = [1,3,4,4].
2^nd operation: i = 2, j = 3. After applying the operation, nums1 = [1,3,7,1].
One can prove that it is impossible to make arrays equal in fewer operations.

Example 2:

Input: nums1 = [3,8,5,2], nums2 = [2,4,1,6], k = 1
Output: -1
Explanation: It can be proved that it is impossible to make the two arrays equal.

Constraints:

n == nums1.length == nums2.length
2 <= n <= 10⁵
0 <= nums1[i], nums2[j] <= 10⁹
0 <= k <= 10⁵

Solutions

Solution 1: Single Pass

We use a variable \(x\) to record the difference in the number of additions and subtractions, and a variable \(ans\) to record the number of operations.

We traverse the array, and for each position \(i\), if \(k=0\) and \(a_i \neq b_i\), then it is impossible to make the two arrays equal, so we return \(-1\). Otherwise, if \(k \neq 0\), then \(a_i - b_i\) must be a multiple of \(k\), otherwise it is impossible to make the two arrays equal, so we return \(-1\). Next, we update \(x\) and \(ans\).

Finally, if \(x \neq 0\), then it is impossible to make the two arrays equal, so we return \(-1\). Otherwise, we return \(\frac{ans}{2}\).

The time complexity is \(O(n)\), and the space complexity is \(O(1)\), where \(n\) is the length of the array.
