LeetCode: 575. Distribute Candies

LeetCode: 575. Distribute Candies

Given an integer array with even length, where different numbers in
this array represent different kinds of candies. Each number means one
candy of the corresponding kind. You need to distribute these candies
equally in number to brother and sister. Return the maximum number of
kinds of candies the sister could gain.

Example 1: Input: candies = [1,1,2,2,3,3] Output: 3 Explanation: There
are three different kinds of candies (1, 2 and 3), and two candies for
each kind. Optimal distribution: The sister has candies [1,2,3] and
the brother has candies [1,2,3], too. The sister has three different
kinds of candies. Example 2: Input: candies = [1,1,2,3] Output: 2
Explanation: For example, the sister has candies [2,3] and the brother
has candies [1,1]. The sister has two different kinds of candies, the
brother has only one kind of candies.

Note:

The length of the given array is in range [2, 10,000], and will be
even. The number in given array is in range [-100,000, 100,000].

public class Solution {
    public int distributeCandies(int[] candies) {
        int length = candies.length;
        int half = (int) (length / 2);
        int[] arrays = new int[200001];
        for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
            arrays[candies[i] + 100000]++;
        }
        int result = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < arrays.length; i++) {
            if (arrays[i] > 0) {
                result++;
                if (result > half) {
                    return half;
                }
            }
        }
        return result;
    }
}
