Suppose you have a long flowerbed in which some of the plots are planted and some are not. However, flowers cannot be planted in adjacent plots - they would compete for water and both would die.
Given a flowerbed (represented as an array containing 0 and 1, where 0 means empty and 1 means not empty), and a number n, return if n new flowers can be planted in it without violating the no-adjacent-flowers rule.
Example 1: Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 1 Output: True Example 2: Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 2 Output: False Note: The input array won't violate no-adjacent-flowers rule. The input array size is in the range of [1, 20000]. n is a non-negative integer which won't exceed the input array size.
public class Solution {
public bool CanPlaceFlowers(int[] flowerbed, int n) {
int count = 0;
if(n==0){
return true;
}
if(flowerbed.Length==0){
return false;
}
if(flowerbed.Length==1){
return n==1 && flowerbed[0]==0;
}
for(int i=0;i<flowerbed.Length;i++){
if(i==0){
if(flowerbed[i] == 0 && flowerbed[i+1]==0){
flowerbed[i]=1;
count++;
}
}
else if(i==flowerbed.Length-1){
if(flowerbed[i-1] == 0 && flowerbed[i]==0){
flowerbed[i]=1;
count++;
}
}
else if(flowerbed[i-1] == 0 && flowerbed[i] == 0 && flowerbed[i+1]==0){
flowerbed[i]=1;
count++;
}
}
return count>=n;
}
}
Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(1)
