1296. Divide Array in Sets of K Consecutive Numbers

Medium

Given an array of integers nums and a positive integer k, check whether it is possible to divide this array into sets of k consecutive numbers.

Return true if it is possible. Otherwise, return false.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,3,4,4,5,6], k = 4

Output: true

Explanation: Array can be divided into [1,2,3,4] and [3,4,5,6].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [3,2,1,2,3,4,3,4,5,9,10,11], k = 3

Output: true

Explanation: Array can be divided into [1,2,3] , [2,3,4] , [3,4,5] and [9,10,11].

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4], k = 3

Output: false

Explanation: Each array should be divided in subarrays of size 3.

Solution

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashMap;

public class Solution {
    public boolean isPossibleDivide(int[] nums, int k) {
        Arrays.sort(nums);
        HashMap<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
        for (int num : nums) {
            map.put(num, map.getOrDefault(num, 0) + 1);
        }
        for (int num : nums) {
            if (map.get(num) == 0) {
                continue;
            }
            for (int v = num; v < num + k; v++) {
                if (!map.containsKey(v) || map.get(v) == 0) {
                    return false;
                } else {
                    map.put(v, map.get(v) - 1);
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
