Count the Number of Computer Unlocking Permutations
You receive an array complexity of length n.
There are n locked computers in a room with labels from 0 to n - 1, each with its own unique password. The password of the computer i has a complexity complexity[i].
The password for the computer labeled 0 is already decrypted and serves as the root. All other computers must be unlocked using it or another previously unlocked computer, following this information:
-
You can decrypt the password for the computer
iusing the password for computerj, wherejis any integer less thaniwith a lower complexity. (i.e.j < iandcomplexity[j] < complexity[i]) -
To decrypt the password for computer
i, you must have already unlocked a computerjsuch thatj < iandcomplexity[j] < complexity[i].
Find the count of permutations of [0, 1, 2,..., (n - 1)] that represent a valid order in which the computers can be unlocked, starting from computer 0 as the only initially unlocked one.
Since the answer may be large, provide it modulo 10 ^9 + 7.
Note that the password for the computer with label 0 is decrypted, and not the computer with the first position in the permutation.
Input: complexity = [1,2,3]
Output: 2
Explanation: The valid permutations are:
-
[0, 1, 2]
-
Unlock computer 0 first with root password.
-
Unlock computer 1 with password of computer 0 since
complexity[0] < complexity[1]. -
Unlock computer 2 with password of computer 1 since
complexity[1] < complexity[2].
-
-
[0, 2, 1]
-
Unlock computer 0 first with root password.
-
Unlock computer 2 with password of computer 0 since
complexity[0] < complexity[2]. -
Unlock computer 1 with password of computer 0 since
complexity[0] < complexity[1].
-
Input: complexity = [3,3,3,4,4,4]
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no valid permutations which can unlock all computers.
Constraints
2 <= complexity.length <= 10^51 <= complexity[i] <= 10^9
