#2100 - Find Good Days to Rob the Bank
Problem Description
You and a gang of thieves are planning on robbing a bank. You are given a 0-indexed integer array security, where security[i] is the number of guards on duty on the ith day. The days are numbered starting from 0. You are also given an integer time.
The ith day is a good day to rob the bank if:
- There are at least time days before and after the ith day,
- The number of guards at the bank for the time days before i are non-increasing, and
- The number of guards at the bank for the time days after i are non-decreasing.
More formally, this means day i is a good day to rob the bank if and only if security[i - time] >= security[i - time + 1] >= ... >= security[i] <= ... <= security[i + time - 1] <= security[i + time].
Return a list of all days (0-indexed) that are good days to rob the bank. The order that the days are returned in does not matter.
Solution
/**
* @param {number[]} security
* @param {number} time
* @return {number[]}
*/
var goodDaysToRobBank = function(security, time) {
const n = security.length;
const nonIncreasing = new Array(n).fill(0);
const nonDecreasing = new Array(n).fill(0);
const result = [];
for (let i = 1; i < n; i++) {
if (security[i] <= security[i - 1]) {
nonIncreasing[i] = nonIncreasing[i - 1] + 1;
}
if (security[n - i - 1] <= security[n - i]) {
nonDecreasing[n - i - 1] = nonDecreasing[n - i] + 1;
}
}
for (let i = time; i < n - time; i++) {
if (nonIncreasing[i] >= time && nonDecreasing[i] >= time) {
result.push(i);
}
}
return result;
};
