2529. Maximum Count of Positive Integer and Negative Integer

Description

Given an array nums sorted in non-decreasing order, return the maximum between the number of positive integers and the number of negative integers.

  • In other words, if the number of positive integers in nums is pos and the number of negative integers is neg, then return the maximum of pos and neg.

Note that 0 is neither positive nor negative.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-2,-1,-1,1,2,3]
Output: 3
Explanation: There are 3 positive integers and 3 negative integers. The maximum count among them is 3.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-3,-2,-1,0,0,1,2]
Output: 3
Explanation: There are 2 positive integers and 3 negative integers. The maximum count among them is 3.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [5,20,66,1314]
Output: 4
Explanation: There are 4 positive integers and 0 negative integers. The maximum count among them is 4.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 2000
  • -2000 <= nums[i] <= 2000
  • nums is sorted in a non-decreasing order.

Solutions

Solution 1: Traversal

We can directly traverse the array, count the number of positive and negative integers $a$ and $b$, and return the larger of $a$ and $b$.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the length of the array. The space complexity is $O(1)$.

Since the array is sorted in non-decreasing order, we can use binary search to find the index $i$ of the first element that is greater than or equal to $1$, and the index $j$ of the first element that is greater than or equal to $0$. The number of positive integers is $a = n - i$, and the number of negative integers is $b = j$. We return the larger of $a$ and $b$.

The time complexity is $O(\log n)$, where $n$ is the length of the array. The space complexity is $O(1)$.
