3046. Split the Array
Description
You are given an integer array nums of even length. You have to split the array into two parts nums1 and nums2 such that:
- nums1.length == nums2.length == nums.length / 2.
- nums1should contain distinct elements.
- nums2should also contain distinct elements.
Return true if it is possible to split the array, and false otherwise.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,1,2,2,3,4] Output: true Explanation: One of the possible ways to split nums is nums1 = [1,2,3] and nums2 = [1,2,4].
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,1,1,1] Output: false Explanation: The only possible way to split nums is nums1 = [1,1] and nums2 = [1,1]. Both nums1 and nums2 do not contain distinct elements. Therefore, we return false.
Constraints:
- 1 <= nums.length <= 100
- nums.length % 2 == 0
- 1 <= nums[i] <= 100
Solutions
Solution 1: Counting
According to the problem, we need to divide the array into two parts, and the elements in each part are all distinct. Therefore, we can count the occurrence of each element in the array. If an element appears three or more times, it cannot satisfy the problem's requirements. Otherwise, we can divide the array into two parts.
The time complexity is \(O(n)\), and the space complexity is \(O(n)\). Where \(n\) is the length of the array.
