An integer M and a non-empty zero-indexed array A consisting of N non-negative integers are given. All integers in array A are less than or equal to M.
A pair of integers (P, Q), such that 0 ≤ P ≤ Q < N, is called a slice of array A. The slice consists of the elements A[P], A[P + 1], ..., A[Q]. A distinct slice is a slice consisting of only unique numbers. That is, no individual number occurs more than once in the slice.
For example, consider integer M = 6 and array A such that:
A[0] = 3 A[1] = 4 A[2] = 5 A[3] = 5 A[4] = 2
There are exactly nine distinct slices: (0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4) and (4, 4).
The goal is to calculate the number of distinct slices.
Write a function:
int solution(int M, vector<int> &A);
that, given an integer M and a non-empty zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers, returns the number of distinct slices.
If the number of distinct slices is greater than 1,000,000,000, the function should return 1,000,000,000.
For example, given integer M = 6 and array A such that:
A[0] = 3 A[1] = 4 A[2] = 5 A[3] = 5 A[4] = 2
the function should return 9, as explained above.
Assume that:
- N is an integer within the range [1..100,000];
- M is an integer within the range [0..100,000];
- each element of array A is an integer within the range [0..M].
Complexity:
- expected worst-case time complexity is O(N);
- expected worst-case space complexity is O(M), beyond input storage (not counting the storage required for input arguments).
Elements of input arrays can be modified.
// you can use includes, for example:
// #include <algorithm>

// cout << "this is a debug message" << endl;

// write your code in C++11
