1282. Group the People Given the Group Size They Belong To ¶
Problem
There are n
people that are split into some unknown number of groups. Each person is labeled with a unique ID from 0
to n - 1
.
You are given an integer array groupSizes
, where groupSizes[i]
is the size of the group that person i
is in. For example, if groupSizes[1] = 3
, then person 1
must be in a group of size 3
.
Return a list of groups such that each person i
is in a group of size groupSizes[i]
.
Each person should appear in exactly one group, and every person must be in a group. If there are multiple answers, return any of them. It is guaranteed that there will be at least one valid solution for the given input.
Example 1:
Input: groupSizes = [3,3,3,3,3,1,3] Output: [[5],[0,1,2],[3,4,6]] Explanation: The first group is [5]. The size is 1, and groupSizes[5] = 1. The second group is [0,1,2]. The size is 3, and groupSizes[0] = groupSizes[1] = groupSizes[2] = 3. The third group is [3,4,6]. The size is 3, and groupSizes[3] = groupSizes[4] = groupSizes[6] = 3. Other possible solutions are [[2,1,6],[5],[0,4,3]] and [[5],[0,6,2],[4,3,1]].
Example 2:
Input: groupSizes = [2,1,3,3,3,2] Output: [[1],[0,5],[2,3,4]]
Constraints:
groupSizes.length == n
1 <= n <= 500
1 <= groupSizes[i] <= n
