Zero Array Transformation I
You receive an integer array nums of length n and a 2D array queries, where queries[i] = [li, ri].
For each queries[i]:
-
Select a subset of indices within the range
[li, ri]innums. -
Decrement the values at the selected indices by 1.
A Zero Array is an array where all elements are equal to 0.
Find and provide true if it is valid to transform nums into a Zero Array after processing all the queries sequentially, otherwise provide false.
Input: nums = [1,0,1], queries = [[0,2]]
Output: true
Explanation:
-
For i = 0:
-
Select the subset of indices as
[0, 2]and decrement the values at these indices by 1. -
The array will become
[0, 0, 0], which is a Zero Array.
-
Input: nums = [4,3,2,1], queries = [[1,3],[0,2]]
Output: false
Explanation:
-
For i = 0:
-
Select the subset of indices as
[1, 2, 3]and decrement the values at these indices by 1. -
The array will become
[4, 2, 1, 0].
-
-
For i = 1:
-
Select the subset of indices as
[0, 1, 2]and decrement the values at these indices by 1. -
The array will become
[3, 1, 0, 0], which is not a Zero Array.
-
Constraints
1 <= nums.length <= 10^50 <= nums[i] <= 10^51 <= queries.length <= 10^5queries[i].length == 20 <= li<= ri< nums.length
