# [1846. Maximum Element After Decreasing and Rearranging](https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-element-after-decreasing-and-rearranging/) ## 题目 You are given an array of positive integers `arr`. Perform some operations (possibly none) on `arr` so that it satisfies these conditions: - The value of the **first** element in `arr` must be `1`. - The absolute difference between any 2 adjacent elements must be **less than or equal to** `1`. In other words, `abs(arr[i] - arr[i - 1]) <= 1` for each `i` where `1 <= i < arr.length` (**0-indexed**). `abs(x)` is the absolute value of `x`. There are 2 types of operations that you can perform any number of times: - **Decrease** the value of any element of `arr` to a **smaller positive integer**. - **Rearrange** the elements of `arr` to be in any order. Return *the **maximum** possible value of an element in* `arr` *after performing the operations to satisfy the conditions*. **Example 1:** ``` Input: arr = [2,2,1,2,1] Output: 2 Explanation: We can satisfy the conditions by rearrangingarr so it becomes[1,2,2,2,1]. The largest element inarr is 2. ``` **Example 2:** ``` Input: arr = [100,1,1000] Output: 3 Explanation: One possible way to satisfy the conditions is by doing the following: 1. Rearrangearr so it becomes[1,100,1000]. 2. Decrease the value of the second element to 2. 3. Decrease the value of the third element to 3. Nowarr = [1,2,3], whichsatisfies the conditions. The largest element inarr is 3. ``` **Example 3:** ``` Input: arr = [1,2,3,4,5] Output: 5 Explanation: The array already satisfies the conditions, and the largest element is 5. ``` **Constraints:** - `1 <= arr.length <= 10^5` - `1 <= arr[i] <= 10^9` ## 题目大意 给你一个正整数数组 arr 。请你对 arr 执行一些操作(也可以不进行任何操作),使得数组满足以下条件: - arr 中 第一个 元素必须为 1 。 - 任意相邻两个元素的差的绝对值 小于等于 1 ,也就是说,对于任意的 1 <= i < arr.length (数组下标从 0 开始),都满足 abs(arr[i] - arr[i - 1]) <= 1 。abs(x) 为 x 的绝对值。 你可以执行以下 2 种操作任意次: - 减小 arr 中任意元素的值,使其变为一个 更小的正整数 。 - 重新排列 arr 中的元素,你可以以任意顺序重新排列。 请你返回执行以上操作后,在满足前文所述的条件下,arr 中可能的 最大值 。 ## 解题思路 - 正整数数组 arr 第一个元素必须为 1,且两两元素绝对值小于等于 1,那么 arr 最大值肯定不大于 n。采用贪心的策略,先统计所有元素出现的次数,大于 n 的元素出现次数都累加到 n 上。然后从 1 扫描到 n,遇到“空隙”(出现次数为 0 的元素),便将最近一个出现次数大于 1 的元素“挪”过来填补“空隙”。题目所求最大值出现在,“填补空隙”之后,数组从左往右连续的最右端。 ## 代码 ```go package leetcode func maximumElementAfterDecrementingAndRearranging(arr []int) int { n := len(arr) count := make([]int, n+1) for _, v := range arr { count[min(v, n)]++ } miss := 0 for _, c := range count[1:] { if c == 0 { miss++ } else { miss -= min(c-1, miss) } } return n - miss } func min(a, b int) int { if a < b { return a } return b } ```
