Description
Suppose you have a random list of people standing in a queue. Each person is described by a pair of integers (h, k)
, where h
is the height of the person and k
is the number of people in front of this person who have a height greater than or equal to h
. Write an algorithm to reconstruct the queue.
Note: The number of people is less than 1,100.
Example
Input:
[[7,0], [4,4], [7,1], [5,0], [6,1], [5,2]]
Output:
[[5,0], [7,0], [5,2], [6,1], [4,4], [7,1]]
Solutions
1. Greedy
# Time: O(n^2)
# Space: O(n)

def reconstructQueue(self, people: List[List[int]]) -> List[List[int]]:
people = sorted(people, key = lambda x: (-x[0], x[1]))
res = []
for p in people:
res.insert(p[1], p)
return res
