3092. Most Frequent IDs

Medium

The problem involves tracking the frequency of IDs in a collection that changes over time. You have two integer arrays, nums and freq, of equal length n. Each element in nums represents an ID, and the corresponding element in freq indicates how many times that ID should be added to or removed from the collection at each step.

Return an array ans of length n, where ans[i] represents the count of the most frequent ID in the collection after the ith step. If the collection is empty at any step, ans[i] should be 0 for that step.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,3,2,1], freq = [3,2,-3,1]

Output: [3,3,2,2]

Explanation:

After step 0, we have 3 IDs with the value of 2. So ans[0] = 3.
After step 1, we have 3 IDs with the value of 2 and 2 IDs with the value of 3. So ans[1] = 3.
After step 2, we have 2 IDs with the value of 3. So ans[2] = 2.
After step 3, we have 2 IDs with the value of 3 and 1 ID with the value of 1. So ans[3] = 2.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5,5,3], freq = [2,-2,1]

Output: [2,0,1]

Explanation:

After step 0, we have 2 IDs with the value of 5. So ans[0] = 2.
After step 1, there are no IDs. So ans[1] = 0.
After step 2, we have 1 ID with the value of 3. So ans[2] = 1.

Solution

public class Solution {
    public long[] mostFrequentIDs(int[] nums, int[] freq) {
        int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        int n = nums.length;
        for (int num : nums) {
            max = Math.max(max, num);
        }
        long[] bins = new long[max + 1];
        int mostFrequentID = 0;
        long maxCount = 0;
        long[] ans = new long[n];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            bins[nums[i]] += freq[i];
            if (freq[i] > 0) {
                if (bins[nums[i]] > maxCount) {
                    maxCount = bins[nums[i]];
                    mostFrequentID = nums[i];
                }
            } else {
                if (nums[i] == mostFrequentID) {
                    maxCount = bins[nums[i]];
                    for (int j = 0; j <= max; j++) {
                        if (bins[j] > maxCount) {
                            maxCount = bins[j];
                            mostFrequentID = j;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            ans[i] = maxCount;
        }
        return ans;
    }
