1296. Divide Array in Sets of K Consecutive Numbers (Medium)
Given an array of integers nums
and a positive integer k
, find whether it's possible to divide this array into sets of k
consecutive numbers
Return True
if its possible otherwise return False
.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,3,4,4,5,6], k = 4 Output: true Explanation: Array can be divided into [1,2,3,4] and [3,4,5,6].
Example 2:
Input: nums = [3,2,1,2,3,4,3,4,5,9,10,11], k = 3 Output: true Explanation: Array can be divided into [1,2,3] , [2,3,4] , [3,4,5] and [9,10,11].
Example 3:
Input: nums = [3,3,2,2,1,1], k = 3 Output: true
Example 4:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,4], k = 3 Output: false Explanation: Each array should be divided in subarrays of size 3.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
1 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
1 <= k <= nums.length
