Task description:
A non-empty array A consisting of N integers is given.
A permutation is a sequence containing each element from 1 to N once, and only once.
For example, array A such that:
A[0] = 4 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 3 A[3] = 2
is a permutation, but array A such that:
A[0] = 4 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 3
is not a permutation, because value 2 is missing.
The goal is to check whether array A is a permutation.
Write a function:
class Solution { public int solution(int[] A); }
that, given an array A, returns 1 if array A is a permutation and 0 if it is not.
For example, given array A such that:
A[0] = 4 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 3 A[3] = 2
the function should return 1.
Given array A such that:
A[0] = 4 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 3
the function should return 0.
Assume that:
- N is an integer within the range [1..100,000];
- each element of array A is an integer within the range [1..1,000,000,000].
Complexity:
- expected worst-case time complexity is O(N);
- expected worst-case space complexity is O(N), beyond input storage (not counting the storage required for input arguments).
Solution:
def solution(p):
minv = min(p)
maxv = max(p)
cnt = 0
for i in range(minv,maxv+1):
if i in p :
cnt += 1
else:
return 0
if cnt == len(p):
return 1
