Problem
Assume you are an awesome parent and want to give your children some cookies. But, you should give each child at most one cookie.
Each child i has a greed factor g[i], which is the minimum size of a cookie that the child will be content with; and each cookie j has a size s[j]. If s[j] >= g[i], we can assign the cookie j to the child i, and the child i will be content. Your goal is to maximize the number of your content children and output the maximum number.
Example 1:
Input: g = [1,2,3], s = [1,1]
Output: 1
Explanation: You have 3 children and 2 cookies. The greed factors of 3 children are 1, 2, 3.
And even though you have 2 cookies, since their size is both 1, you could only make the child whose greed factor is 1 content.
You need to output 1.
Example 2:
Input: g = [1,2], s = [1,2,3]
Output: 2
Explanation: You have 2 children and 3 cookies. The greed factors of 2 children are 1, 2.
You have 3 cookies and their sizes are big enough to gratify all of the children,
You need to output 2.
Constraints:
1 <= g.length <= 3 * 1040 <= s.length <= 3 * 1041 <= g[i], s[j] <= 231 - 1
Solution
/**
* @param {number[]} g
* @param {number[]} s
* @return {number}
*/
var findContentChildren = function(g, s) {
g.sort((a, b) => a - b);
s.sort((a, b) => a - b);
var j = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < g.length; i++) {
while (s[j] < g[i] && j < s.length) j++;
if (j === s.length) return i;
j++;
}
return g.length;
};
Explain:
nope.
Complexity:
- Time complexity : O(n * log(n)).
- Space complexity : O(1).
