1671. Minimum Number of Removals to Make Mountain Array

中文文档

Description

You may recall that an array arr is a mountain array if and only if:

• arr.length >= 3
• There exists some index i (0-indexed) with 0 < i < arr.length - 1 such that:
  • arr[0] < arr[1] < ... < arr[i - 1] < arr[i]
  • arr[i] > arr[i + 1] > ... > arr[arr.length - 1]

Given an integer array nums​​​, return the minimum number of elements to remove to make nums​​​ a mountain array.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,3,1]
Output: 0
Explanation: The array itself is a mountain array so we do not need to remove any elements.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,1,1,5,6,2,3,1]
Output: 3
Explanation: One solution is to remove the elements at indices 0, 1, and 5, making the array nums = [1,5,6,3,1].

 

Constraints:

• 3 <= nums.length <= 1000
• 1 <= nums[i] <= 109
• It is guaranteed that you can make a mountain array out of nums.

Python3

class Solution:
    def minimumMountainRemovals(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        n = len(nums)
        left = [1] * n
        right = [1] * n
        for i in range(1, n):
            for j in range(i):
                if nums[i] > nums[j]:
                    left[i] = max(left[i], left[j] + 1)
        for i in range(n - 2, -1, -1):
            for j in range(i + 1, n):
                if nums[i] > nums[j]:
                    right[i] = max(right[i], right[j] + 1)
        return n - max(a + b - 1 for a, b in zip(left, right) if a > 1 and b > 1)

                    left[i] = Math.max(left[i], left[j] + 1);
                }
            }

                    right[i] = Math.max(right[i], right[j] + 1);
                }
            }
        }
        int ans = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
            if (left[i] > 1 && right[i] > 1) {
                ans = Math.max(ans, left[i] + right[i] - 1);
            }
        }
        return n - ans;
