2952. Minimum Number of Coins to be Added

中文文档

Description

You are given a 0-indexed integer array coins, representing the values of the coins available, and an integer target.

An integer x is obtainable if there exists a subsequence of coins that sums to x.

Return the minimum number of coins of any value that need to be added to the array so that every integer in the range [1, target] is obtainable.

A subsequence of an array is a new non-empty array that is formed from the original array by deleting some (possibly none) of the elements without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining elements.

 

Example 1:

Input: coins = [1,4,10], target = 19
Output: 2
Explanation: We need to add coins 2 and 8. The resulting array will be [1,2,4,8,10].
It can be shown that all integers from 1 to 19 are obtainable from the resulting array, and that 2 is the minimum number of coins that need to be added to the array. 

Example 2:

Input: coins = [1,4,10,5,7,19], target = 19
Output: 1
Explanation: We only need to add the coin 2. The resulting array will be [1,2,4,5,7,10,19].
It can be shown that all integers from 1 to 19 are obtainable from the resulting array, and that 1 is the minimum number of coins that need to be added to the array. 

Example 3:

Input: coins = [1,1,1], target = 20
Output: 3
Explanation: We need to add coins 4, 8, and 16. The resulting array will be [1,1,1,4,8,16].
It can be shown that all integers from 1 to 20 are obtainable from the resulting array, and that 3 is the minimum number of coins that need to be added to the array.

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= target <= 105
• 1 <= coins.length <= 105
• 1 <= coins[i] <= target

Solutions

Solution 1: Greedy + Construction

Suppose the current amount we need to construct is $s$, and we have already constructed all amounts in $[0,...,s-1]$. If there is a new coin $x$, we add it to the array, which can construct all amounts in $[x, s+x-1]$.

Next, we discuss in two cases:

• If $x \le s$, then we can merge the two intervals above to get all amounts in $[0, s+x-1]$.
• If $x \gt s$, then we need to add a coin with a face value of $s$, so that we can construct all amounts in $[0, 2s-1]$. Then we consider the size relationship between $x$ and $s$ and continue to analyze.

Therefore, we sort the array $coins$ in ascending order, and then traverse the coins in the array from small to large. For each coin $x$, we discuss in the above two cases until $s > target$.

The time complexity is $O(n \times \log n)$, and the space complexity is $O(\log n)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the array.

Python3

class Solution:
    def minimumAddedCoins(self, coins: List[int], target: int) -> int:
        coins.sort()
        s = 1
        ans = i = 0
        while s <= target:
            if i < len(coins) and coins[i] <= s:
                s += coins[i]
                i += 1
            else:
                s <<= 1
                ans += 1
        return ans

Java

class Solution {
    public int minimumAddedCoins(int[] coins, int target) {
        Arrays.sort(coins);
        int ans = 0;
        for (int i = 0, s = 1; s <= target;) {
            if (i < coins.length && coins[i] <= s) {
                s += coins[i++];
            } else {
                s <<= 1;
                ++ans;
            }
        }
        return ans;
    }
}

C++

class Solution {
public:
    int minimumAddedCoins(vector<int>& coins, int target) {
        sort(coins.begin(), coins.end());
        int ans = 0;
        for (int i = 0, s = 1; s <= target;) {
            if (i < coins.size() && coins[i] <= s) {
                s += coins[i++];
            } else {
                s <<= 1;
                ++ans;
            }
        }
        return ans;
    }
};

Go

func minimumAddedCoins(coins []int, target int) (ans int) {
	slices.Sort(coins)
	for i, s := 0, 1; s <= target; {
		if i < len(coins) && coins[i] <= s {
			s += coins[i]
			i++
		} else {
			s <<= 1
			ans++
		}
	}
	return
}

TypeScript

function minimumAddedCoins(coins: number[], target: number): number {
    coins.sort((a, b) => a - b);
    let ans = 0;
    for (let i = 0, s = 1; s <= target; ) {
        if (i < coins.length && coins[i] <= s) {
            s += coins[i++];
        } else {
            s <<= 1;
            ++ans;
        }
    }
    return ans;
