768. Max Chunks To Make Sorted II

Description

You are given an integer array arr.

We split arr into some number of chunks (i.e., partitions), and individually sort each chunk. After concatenating them, the result should equal the sorted array.

Return the largest number of chunks we can make to sort the array.

 

Example 1:

Input: arr = [5,4,3,2,1]
Output: 1
Explanation:
Splitting into two or more chunks will not return the required result.
For example, splitting into [5, 4], [3, 2, 1] will result in [4, 5, 1, 2, 3], which isn't sorted.

Example 2:

Input: arr = [2,1,3,4,4]
Output: 4
Explanation:
We can split into two chunks, such as [2, 1], [3, 4, 4].
However, splitting into [2, 1], [3], [4], [4] is the highest number of chunks possible.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= arr.length <= 2000
  • 0 <= arr[i] <= 108

 

Solutions

Solution: Stack

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

 

JavaScript

js
/**
 * @param {number[]} arr
 * @return {number}
 */
const maxChunksToSorted = function (arr) {
  const n = arr.length;
  const stack = [arr[0]];

  for (let index = 1; index < n; index++) {
    const current = arr[index];

    if (current >= stack.at(-1)) {
      stack.push(current);
      continue;
    }
    const max = stack.at(-1);

    while (stack.at(-1) > current) stack.pop();

    stack.push(max);
  }
  return stack.length;
};
