313. Super Ugly Number

Description

A super ugly number is a positive integer whose prime factors are in the array primes.

Given an integer n and an array of integers primes, return the nth super ugly number.

The nth super ugly number is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit signed integer.

 

Example 1:

 Input: n = 12, primes = [2,7,13,19] Output: 32 Explanation: [1,2,4,7,8,13,14,16,19,26,28,32] is the sequence of the first 12 super ugly numbers given primes = [2,7,13,19]. 

Example 2:

 Input: n = 1, primes = [2,3,5] Output: 1 Explanation: 1 has no prime factors, therefore all of its prime factors are in the array primes = [2,3,5]. 

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 105
  • 1 <= primes.length <= 100
  • 2 <= primes[i] <= 1000
  • primes[i] is guaranteed to be a prime number.
  • All the values of primes are unique and sorted in ascending order.

Solutions

Solution 1: Priority Queue (Min Heap)

We use a priority queue (min heap) to maintain all possible super ugly numbers, initially putting $1$ into the queue.

Each time we take the smallest super ugly number $x$ from the queue, multiply $x$ by each number in the array primes, and put the product into the queue. Repeat the above operation $n$ times to get the $n$th super ugly number.

Since the problem guarantees that the $n$th super ugly number is within the range of a 32-bit signed integer, before we put the product into the queue, we can first check whether the product exceeds $2^{31} - 1$. If it does, there is no need to put the product into the queue. In addition, the Euler sieve can be used for optimization.

The time complexity is $O(n \times m \times \log (n \times m))$, and the space complexity is $O(n \times m)$. Where $m$ and $n$ are the length of the array primes and the given integer $n$ respectively.

  • class Solution { public: int nthSuperUglyNumber(int n, vector<int>& primes) { priority_queue<int, vector<int>, greater<int>> q; q.push(1); int x = 0; while (n--) { x = q.top(); q.pop(); for (int& k : primes) { if (x <= INT_MAX / k) { q.push(k * x); } if (x % k == 0) { break; } } } return x; } }; 
  • ''' The time complexity of the provided code is `O(n * k * log(n))` * where n is the input parameter n. * where k is the number of prime numbers in the input list For a single outer for loop iteration * Popping the smallest element from the heap using heappop(), which takes `O(log(n))` time complexity. * Pushing the new number into the heap using heappush(), which takes `O(log(n))` time complexity. * Therefore, the overall time complexity of the loop is `O(k * log(n))`, where k is the number of prime numbers in the input list. Since the loop runs for n iterations and each iteration has a time complexity of O(k * log(n)), the total time complexity of the code is `O(n * k * log(n))`. The space complexity of the code is `O(n)` due to the heap and the hash table * where n is the input parameter n.
