LeetCode #683 - K Empty Slots

题目描述：

There is a garden with N slots. In each slot, there is a flower. The N flowers will bloom one by one in N days. In each day, there will be exactly one flower blooming and it will be in the status of blooming since then.

Given an array flowers consists of number from 1 to N. Each number in the array represents the place where the flower will open in that day.

For example, flowers[i] = x means that the unique flower that blooms at day i will be at position x, where i and x will be in the range from 1 to N.

Also given an integer k, you need to output in which day there exists two flowers in the status of blooming, and also the number of flowers between them is k and these flowers are not blooming.

If there isn't such day, output -1.

Example 1:

Input: 

flowers: [1,3,2]

k: 1

Output: 2

Explanation: In the second day, the first and the third flower have become blooming.

Example 2:

Input: 

flowers: [1,2,3]

k: 1

Output: -1

Note: The given array will be in the range [1, 20000].

                    result=min(result,max(days[i],days[j]));
                // i,j更新和set更新的顺序不能搞错，当k==0即j==i+1时，必须先插入days[j]再删除days[i]
                s.insert(days[j]);
                j++;
                i++;
                s.erase(days[i]);
            }
