3379. Transformed Array

Description

You are given an integer array nums that represents a circular array. Your task is to create a new array result of the same size, following these rules:

For each index i (where 0 <= i < nums.length), perform the following independent actions:

• If nums[i] > 0: Start at index i and move nums[i] steps to the right in the circular array. Set result[i] to the value of the index where you land.
• If nums[i] < 0: Start at index i and move abs(nums[i]) steps to the left in the circular array. Set result[i] to the value of the index where you land.
• If nums[i] == 0: Set result[i] to nums[i].

Return the new array result.

Note: Since nums is circular, moving past the last element wraps around to the beginning, and moving before the first element wraps back to the end.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,-2,1,1]

Output: [1,1,1,3]

Explanation:

• For nums[0] that is equal to 3, If we move 3 steps to right, we reach nums[3]. So result[0] should be 1.
• For nums[1] that is equal to -2, If we move 2 steps to left, we reach nums[3]. So result[1] should be 1.
• For nums[2] that is equal to 1, If we move 1 step to right, we reach nums[3]. So result[2] should be 1.
• For nums[3] that is equal to 1, If we move 1 step to right, we reach nums[0]. So result[3] should be 3.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-1,4,-1]

Output: [-1,-1,4]

Explanation:

• For nums[0] that is equal to -1, If we move 1 step to left, we reach nums[2]. So result[0] should be -1.
• For nums[1] that is equal to 4, If we move 4 steps to right, we reach nums[2]. So result[1] should be -1.
• For nums[2] that is equal to -1, If we move 1 step to left, we reach nums[1]. So result[2] should be 4.

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 100
• -100 <= nums[i] <= 100

 

Solutions

Solution: Simulation

• Time complexity: O(n)
• Space complexity: O(1)

 

JavaScript

/**
 * @param {number[]} nums
 * @return {number[]}
 */
const constructTransformedArray = function (nums) {
  const n = nums.length;
  const result = [];

  for (let index = 0; index < n; index++) {
    const num = nums[index];
    const pos = (((index + num) % n) + n) % n;

    result.push(nums[pos]);
  }

  return result;
};
