1331. Rank Transform of an Array

Description

Given an array of integers arr, replace each element with its rank.

The rank represents how large the element is. The rank has the following rules:

• Rank is an integer starting from 1.
• The larger the element, the larger the rank. If two elements are equal, their rank must be the same.
• Rank should be as small as possible.

 

Example 1:

Input: arr = [40,10,20,30]
Output: [4,1,2,3]
Explanation: 40 is the largest element. 10 is the smallest. 20 is the second smallest. 30 is the third smallest.

Example 2:

Input: arr = [100,100,100]
Output: [1,1,1]
Explanation: Same elements share the same rank.

Example 3:

Input: arr = [37,12,28,9,100,56,80,5,12]
Output: [5,3,4,2,8,6,7,1,3]

 

Constraints:

• 0 <= arr.length <= 105
• -109 <= arr[i] <= 109

Solutions

Solution 1: Discretization

First, we copy an array $t$, then sort and deduplicate it to obtain an array of length $m$ that is strictly monotonically increasing.

Next, we traverse the original array $arr$. For each element $x$ in the array, we use binary search to find the position of $x$ in $t$. The position plus one is the rank of $x$.

The time complexity is $O(n \times \log n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the array $arr$.

Solution 2: Sorting + Hash Map

This implementation uses sorting, followed by set. It traverses the relevant values and updates its state as each value is processed. A keyed container records values that must be found or updated efficiently. Ordering the data first makes the subsequent comparisons deterministic.
