3243. Shortest Distance After Road Addition Queries I

Description

You are given an integer n and a 2D integer array queries.

There are n cities numbered from 0 to n - 1. Initially, there is a unidirectional road from city i to city i + 1 for all 0 <= i < n - 1.

queries[i] = [ui, vi] represents the addition of a new unidirectional road from city ui to city vi. After each query, you need to find the length of the shortest path from city 0 to city n - 1.

Return an array answer where for each i in the range [0, queries.length - 1], answer[i] is the length of the shortest path from city 0 to city n - 1 after processing the first i + 1 queries.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 5, queries = [[2,4],[0,2],[0,4]]

Output: [3,2,1]

Explanation:

After the addition of the road from 2 to 4, the length of the shortest path from 0 to 4 is 3.

After the addition of the road from 0 to 2, the length of the shortest path from 0 to 4 is 2.

After the addition of the road from 0 to 4, the length of the shortest path from 0 to 4 is 1.

Example 2:

Input: n = 4, queries = [[0,3],[0,2]]

Output: [1,1]

Explanation:

After the addition of the road from 0 to 3, the length of the shortest path from 0 to 3 is 1.

After the addition of the road from 0 to 2, the length of the shortest path remains 1.

 

Constraints:

• 3 <= n <= 500
• 1 <= queries.length <= 500
• queries[i].length == 2
• 0 <= queries[i][0] < queries[i][1] < n
• 1 < queries[i][1] - queries[i][0]
• There are no repeated roads among the queries.

Solutions

Solution 1: BFS

First, we establish a directed graph $\textit{g}$, where $\textit{g}[i]$ represents the list of cities that can be reached from city $i$. Initially, each city $i$ has a one-way road leading to city $i + 1$.

Then, for each query $[u, v]$, we add $u$ to the departure city list of $v$, and then use BFS to find the shortest path length from city $0$ to city $n - 1$, adding the result to the answer array.

Finally, we return the answer array.

Time complexity is $O(q \times (n + q))$, and space complexity is $O(n + q)$. Here, $n$ and $q$ are the number of cities and the number of queries, respectively.
