1535. Find the Winner of an Array Game

Description

Given an integer array arr of distinct integers and an integer k.

A game will be played between the first two elements of the array (i.e. arr[0] and arr[1]). In each round of the game, we compare arr[0] with arr[1], the larger integer wins and remains at position 0, and the smaller integer moves to the end of the array. The game ends when an integer wins k consecutive rounds.

Return the integer which will win the game.

It is guaranteed that there will be a winner of the game.

 

Example 1:

 Input: arr = [2,1,3,5,4,6,7], k = 2 Output: 5 Explanation: Let's see the rounds of the game: Round | arr | winner | win_count 1 | [2,1,3,5,4,6,7] | 2 | 1 2 | [2,3,5,4,6,7,1] | 3 | 1 3 | [3,5,4,6,7,1,2] | 5 | 1 4 | [5,4,6,7,1,2,3] | 5 | 2 So we can see that 4 rounds will be played and 5 is the winner because it wins 2 consecutive games. 

Example 2:

 Input: arr = [3,2,1], k = 10 Output: 3 Explanation: 3 will win the first 10 rounds consecutively. 

 

Constraints:

  • 2 <= arr.length <= 105
  • 1 <= arr[i] <= 106
  • arr contains distinct integers.
  • 1 <= k <= 109

Solutions

  • class Solution { public int getWinner(int[] arr, int k) { int mx = arr[0]; for (int i = 1, cnt = 0; i < arr.length; ++i) { if (mx < arr[i]) { mx = arr[i]; cnt = 1; } else { ++cnt; } if (cnt == k) { break; } } return mx; } } 
  • class Solution { public: int getWinner(vector<int>& arr, int k) { int mx = arr[0]; for (int i = 1, cnt = 0; i < arr.size(); ++i) { if (mx < arr[i]) { mx = arr[i]; cnt = 1; } else { ++cnt; } if (cnt == k) { break; } } return mx; } }; 
  • class Solution: def getWinner(self, arr: List[int], k: int) -> int: mx = arr[0] cnt = 0 for x in arr[1:]: if mx < x: mx = x cnt = 1 else: cnt += 1 if cnt == k: break return mx 
  • func getWinner(arr []int, k int) int { mx, cnt := arr[0], 0 for _, x := range arr[1:] { if mx < x { mx = x cnt = 1 } else { cnt++ } if cnt == k { break } } return mx } 
  • function getWinner(arr: number[], k: number): number { let mx = arr[0]; let cnt = 0; for (const x of arr.slice(1)) { if (mx < x) { mx = x; cnt = 1; } else { ++cnt; } if (cnt === k) { break; } } return mx; } 
  • public class Solution { public int GetWinner(int[] arr, int k) { int maxElement = arr[0], count = 0; for (int i = 1; i < arr.Length; i++) { if (maxElement < arr[i]) { maxElement = arr[i]; count = 1; } else { count++; } if (count == k) { break; } } return maxElement; } }
