2554. Maximum Number of Integers to Choose From a Range I

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 = [1,6,5], n = 5, maxSum = 6
Output: 2
Explanation: You can choose the integers 2 and 4.
2 and 4 are from the range [1, 5], both did not appear in banned, and their sum is 6, which did not exceed maxSum.

Example 2:

Input: banned = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], n = 8, maxSum = 1
Output: 0
Explanation: You cannot choose any integer while following the mentioned conditions.

Example 3:

Input: banned = [11], n = 7, maxSum = 50
Output: 7
Explanation: You can choose the integers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
They are from the range [1, 7], all did not appear in banned, and their sum is 28, which did not exceed maxSum.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= banned.length <= 104
  • 1 <= banned[i], n <= 104
  • 1 <= maxSum <= 109

 

Solutions

Solution: Greedy

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

 

JavaScript

js
/**
 * @param {number[]} banned
 * @param {number} n
 * @param {number} maxSum
 * @return {number}
 */
const maxCount = function (banned, n, maxSum) {
  const bannedSet = new Set(banned);
  let sum = 0;
  let result = 0;

  for (let num = 1; num <= n; num++) {
    if (bannedSet.has(num)) continue;

    sum += num;
    if (sum > maxSum) return result;
    result += 1;
  }
  return result;
};
