2557. Maximum Number of Integers to Choose From a Range II πŸ”’

Description

You are given an integer array banned and two integers n and maxSum. You are choosing some number of integers following the below rules:

  • The chosen integers have to be in the range [1, n].
  • Each integer can be chosen at most once.
  • The chosen integers should not be in the array banned.
  • The sum of the chosen integers should not exceed maxSum.

Return the maximum number of integers you can choose following the mentioned rules.

 

Example 1:

Input: banned = [1,4,6], n = 6, maxSum = 4
Output: 1
Explanation: You can choose the integer 3.
3 is in the range [1, 6], and do not appear in banned. The sum of the chosen integers is 3, which does not exceed maxSum.

Example 2:

Input: banned = [4,3,5,6], n = 7, maxSum = 18
Output: 3
Explanation: You can choose the integers 1, 2, and 7.
All these integers are in the range [1, 7], all do not appear in banned, and their sum is 18, which does not exceed maxSum.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= banned.length <= 105
  • 1 <= banned[i] <= n <= 109
  • 1 <= maxSum <= 1015

Solutions

We can add $0$ and $n + 1$ to the array banned, then deduplicate and sort the array banned.

Next, we enumerate every two adjacent elements $i$ and $j$ in the array banned. The range of selectable integers is $[i + 1, j - 1]$. We use binary search to enumerate the number of elements we can select in this range, find the maximum number of selectable elements, and then add it to $ans$. At the same time, we subtract the sum of these elements from maxSum. If maxSum is less than $0$, we break the loop. Return the answer.

The time complexity is $O(n \times \log n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Where $n$ is the length of the array banned.
