Problem
You are given an integer array prices
where prices[i]
is the price of the ith
item in a shop.
There is a special discount for items in the shop. If you buy the ith
item, then you will receive a discount equivalent to prices[j]
where j
is the minimum index such that j > i
and prices[j] <= prices[i]
. Otherwise, you will not receive any discount at all.
Return an integer array answer
where answer[i]
is the final price you will pay for the ith
item of the shop, considering the special discount.
Example 1:
Input: prices = [8,4,6,2,3]
Output: [4,2,4,2,3]
Explanation:
For item 0 with price[0]=8 you will receive a discount equivalent to prices[1]=4, therefore, the final price you will pay is 8 - 4 = 4.
For item 1 with price[1]=4 you will receive a discount equivalent to prices[3]=2, therefore, the final price you will pay is 4 - 2 = 2.
For item 2 with price[2]=6 you will receive a discount equivalent to prices[3]=2, therefore, the final price you will pay is 6 - 2 = 4.
For items 3 and 4 you will not receive any discount at all.
Example 2:
Input: prices = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: [1,2,3,4,5]
Explanation: In this case, for all items, you will not receive any discount at all.
Example 3:
Input: prices = [10,1,1,6]
Output: [9,0,1,6]
Constraints:
1 <= prices.length <= 500
1 <= prices[i] <= 1000
Solution
/**
* @param {number[]} prices
* @return {number[]}
*/
var finalPrices = function(prices) {
var res = Array.from(prices);
for (var i = 0; i < prices.length; i++) {
for (var j = i + 1; j < prices.length; j++) {
if (prices[j] <= prices[i]) {
res[i] = prices[i] - prices[j];
break;
}
}
}
return res;
};
Explain:
nope.
Complexity:
- Time complexity : O(n ^ 2).
- Space complexity : O(n).
