398 - Random Pick Index.
Medium
Given an integer array
nums
with possible duplicates , randomly output the index of a giventarget
number. You can assume that the given target number must exist in the array.Implement the
Solution
class:Solution(int[] nums)
Initializes the object with the arraynums
.int pick(int target)
Picks a random indexi
fromnums
wherenums[i] == target
. If there are multiple valid i's, then each index should have an equal probability of returning.
Example 1:
Input
["Solution", "pick", "pick", "pick"] [[[1, 2, 3, 3, 3]], [3], [1], [3]]
Output: null, 4, 0, 2
Explanation:
Solution solution = new Solution([1, 2, 3, 3, 3]); solution.pick(3); // It should return either index 2, 3, or 4 randomly. Each index should have equal probability of returning. solution.pick(1); // It should return 0. Since in the array only nums[0] is equal to 1. solution.pick(3); // It should return either index 2, 3, or 4 randomly. Each index should have equal probability of returning.
Constraints:
<code>1 <= nums.length <= 2 * 10<sup>4</sup></code>
<code>-2<sup>31</sup><= numsi<= 2<sup>31</sup> - 1</code>
target
is an integer fromnums
.At most <code>10<sup>4</sup></code> calls will be made to
pick
.
