398. Random Pick Index
Medium
Given an integer array
nums
with possible duplicates, randomly output the index of a given target
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:
1 <= nums.length <= 2 * 104
-231 <= nums[i] <= 231 - 1
target
is an integer fromnums
.- At most
104
