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
