496. Next Greater Element I

Problem

The next greater element of some element x in an array is the first greater element that is to the right of x in the same array.

You are given two distinct 0-indexed integer arrays nums1 and nums2, where nums1 is a subset of nums2.

For each 0 <= i < nums1.length, find the index j such that nums1[i] == nums2[j] and determine the next greater element of nums2[j] in nums2. If there is no next greater element, then the answer for this query is -1.

Return **an array *ans* of length nums1.length such that ans[i] is the next greater element as described above.**

  Example 1:

Input: nums1 = [4,1,2], nums2 = [1,3,4,2]
Output: [-1,3,-1]
Explanation: The next greater element for each value of nums1 is as follows:
- 4 is underlined in nums2 = [1,3,4,2]. There is no next greater element, so the answer is -1.
- 1 is underlined in nums2 = [1,3,4,2]. The next greater element is 3.
- 2 is underlined in nums2 = [1,3,4,2]. There is no next greater element, so the answer is -1.

Example 2:

Input: nums1 = [2,4], nums2 = [1,2,3,4]
Output: [3,-1]
Explanation: The next greater element for each value of nums1 is as follows:
- 2 is underlined in nums2 = [1,2,3,4]. The next greater element is 3.
- 4 is underlined in nums2 = [1,2,3,4]. There is no next greater element, so the answer is -1.

  Constraints:

• 1 <= nums1.length <= nums2.length <= 1000

• 0 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 104

• All integers in nums1 and nums2 are unique.

• All the integers of nums1 also appear in nums2.

  Follow up: Could you find an O(nums1.length + nums2.length) solution?

Solution

/**
 * @param {number[]} nums1
 * @param {number[]} nums2
 * @return {number[]}
 */
var nextGreaterElement = function(nums1, nums2) {
    var map = {};
    var stack = [];
    for (var i = nums2.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        while (stack.length && stack[stack.length - 1] <= nums2[i]) stack.pop();
        map[nums2[i]] = stack.length ? stack[stack.length - 1] : -1;
        stack.push(nums2[i]);
    }
    return nums1.map(num => map[num]);
};

Explain:

nope.

Complexity:

• Time complexity : O(n).
• Space complexity : O(n).
